How to watch Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile – is it streaming?
The live-action musical starring Shawn Mendes is out very soon.
Calling all fans of Bernard Waber's beloved children's book Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile: it's been adapted into a live-action animated musical, which is arriving in cinemas very soon.
Starring popstar Shawn Mendes, Fresh Off the Boat's Constance Wu and Oscar winner Javier Bardem, the movie explores the unconventional friendship between a schoolboy and his singing crocodile friend in New York City.
When the Primm family move to New York, their young son Josh struggles to adapt to his new surroundings. All of that changes when he discovers Lyle (voiced by Mendes), a singing saltwater crocodile living in the attic of his new home.
However, Lyle's existence is threatened by an evil neighbour Mr Grumps (Brett Gelman), forcing the Primms to band together with Lyle's charismatic owner, Hector P Valenti (Bardem) "to show the world that family can come from the most unexpected places", according to the film's official synopsis.
