Movie from late 80s, early 90s with Gorilla/Ape who knew sign language?

When I was a kid I remember seeing a movie, possibly made for tv, and it was about a Gorilla or Ape who knew sign language and befriended a little boy. I think the boy may have been deaf. There was something about a tree house and the boy and Gorilla hid out there or something. Does anyone know what this movie was?

Update:

It is NOT Congo.

Update 2:

None of you got this right. Sorry!

    I went on a google search for a similar movie that I was trying to find. I found it, it's called "A Summer to Remember". One of the first movies that made me cry. At the end they try to take the gorilla from the deaf boy and he finally speaks for the first time since he lost his hearing, or something like that.

    Are you talking about Coco? She is a gorilla, believe she lives in California with her guardians.

    Type Coco the Gorilla in your search window, this should bring up the information.

    She also has a kitty. Remarkable animal.

    Peace.
