Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile (Lyle the Crocodile)

Product Information

You could say that Mr. Grumps is the story’s villain and Lyle’s arch nemesis, and by extension, Josh’s enemy too. He is the Primms’ evil neighbor and doesn’t quite like them, or maybe because Lyle lives with them. In the original book series, Grumps is described as “grouchy” who not just despises Lyle but wants him thrown out of the house, mostly because, Lyle seems to scare his cat, Loretta. The film version of his character would probably be the same, and from what we know so far, he’s going to try to call animal control and get Lyle captured. Despite facing rejections from publishers, Waber eventually received encouragement from the Houghton Mifflin Company and was offered a contract for his book, Lorenzo.

But Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile conjures up enough of the old showbiz charm to win you over. It's heart-warming, too – Lyle may be the singer, but he helps those around him find their voice, and sometimes that's exactly what we need: a singing crocodile to just be a good pal."

Everyone in the neighborhood loves Lyle the crocodile—except for a cranky neighbor and his nervous cat! Can lovable Lyle make everything right with his grumpy neighbors?Nell Minow, writing for RogerEbert.com, was more positive in her review of the film, giving it a score of 3 out of 4 stars. She wrote: " Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile is a bit too long for a family movie, with some unnecessary complications toward the end, and it's not quite up to the Paddington level of movie adaptations of classic children's books. But it is a warm-hearted family film with great musical numbers that will make another generation of kids hopefully search the attic on the chance that they might find a singing crocodile."
