Buddy/Soccer Dog/Sylvester

Buddy
Rene Russo (Ransom, Get Shorty) stars as eccentric socialite Gertrude "Trudy" Lintz, who adopts a baby gorilla into her already-bustling animal menagerie. Along with chimpanzees Maggie and Joe, Buddy gets into all kinds of hilarious monkey business and proceeds to drive everyone bananas. A delightful family adventure based on a remarkable true story featuring amazing effects courtesy of Jim Henson's Creature Shop.

Soccer Dog
It's only the second game of the season and the Stampede just lost a key player. Now only Lincoln's excellent forwarding skills can save the team from a forfeit -- and score a path to the championships. But will the PeeWee Soccer League let a dog play? And what about the cruel and determined dogcatcher on Lincoln's tail? It's all up to Lincoln to win a championship, rally a town, and unite a young family in this heartwarming comedy starring James Marshall, Olivia d'Abo and Jeremy Foley.

Sylvester
A young girl's unwavering faith in a battered horse takes them both to the prestige and honor of national competition in this touching, heroic drama. Melissa Gilbert makes a spirited film debut as Charlie Railsberg, a 16-year-old wrangler who recognizes the noble spirit of a wild horse she christens "Sylvester." Oscar(r) nominee Richard Farnsworth portrays John Foster, a hard-headed stockyard boss who takes Charlie and her two orphaned brothers into his home. Foster is convinced that Sylvester is worthless, but is proven wrong when Sylvester and Charlie become the odds-on favorite at the National Equestrian Trails. Before it's all over, Charlie falls in love and is faced with the opportunity-and decision-of a lifetime.
