"The Jennie Project" is a Disney Channel Original Movie that was released in the summer of 2001. The film was based on the book "Jennie" by Douglas Preston. The movie is about a chimpanzee who knows and uses American Sign Language to communicate.

Plot

Hugo Archibald (Guest) is a doctor and brings home a wide variety of exotic animal species. The latest animal he brings home is a chimpanzee named Jennie. Jennie is unique in that she is learning to use and understand sign language. Jennie becomes an important part of Archibald family and Dr. Archibald's son, Andrew (Linz), develops a close relationship with her. Jennie loves the things Andrew does, such as baseball and comic books. Jennie is also there for Alex when Alex and his father disagree.
