The film's unique premise, revolving around an elderly lizard navigating the challenges of elementary school, offers layers of entertainment suitable for both children and adults.
Who is the cast of Leo on Netflix?
The film features a stellar cast, with Adam Sandler lending his comedic prowess as the voice of Leo. Joining him is Bill Burr, lending his voice to Squirtle, Leo's terrarium-mate turtle.
The ensemble cast includes Cecily Strong, Jason Alexander, Rob Schneider, Sunny Sandler, Sadie Sandler, and an array of talented actors.
This confluence of voices brings to life a diverse cast of characters, each adding to a lively and endearing story.
What is Leo about? Plot explored
At its core, the movie unravels the story of an old lizard, Leo, who experiences a midlife crisis at the ripe age of 74. Stuck in the same Florida classroom for decades alongside his terrarium-mate Squirtle, Leo decides to break free when he learns he has only one year left to live.
His intended escape, however, takes an unexpected turn as he gets entangled in the issues of his nervous kids and must contend with an especially cruel replacement teacher. The video explores themes of friendship, unexpected adventures, and the persevering attitude of accepting life's oddities.
The animated musical comedy set to debut on Netflix boasts a talented team behind its creation. Animated by Australia's Animal Logic, recognized for works like The Lego Movie and DC League of Super-Pets, the studio was acquired by Netflix last year.
Saturday Night Live (SNL) writer and creator of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, Robert Smigel, directs the film alongside directors Robert Marianetti and David Wachtenheim. This trio, long-time collaborators with Adam Sandler, contributed to SNL's animated TV Funhouse segments in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Sandler, Smigel, and Paul Sado collaboratively bring the screenplay to life through Sandler's Happy Madison Productions.
As Leo, the lizard with a heart of gold, takes center stage, audiences worldwide are in for a treat that blends humor, heart, and the timeless appeal of a coming-of-age tale. The animated musical will start streaming on Netflix on November 21, 2023.
