That is what drove them to make Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile a musical. “The truth about great musicals is you can only express yourself through song when all else fails. So for us, that was the biggest thing of the adaptation — was turning into a musical.” This is a strange story about an anthropomorphic rendering of a crocodile. He walks on his hind legs, dances, ice skates and shops at a department store. Of course there is a bit of drama and the crocodile is a hero. It is a bit long, but overall, it's a fun story. I remember this book from my childhood, but it wasn't one of my favorites. Nor do I think it will be a favorite for our girls. The film also features standout performances from Constance Wu, Scoot McNairy, and Winslow Fegley, and a memorable turn from Brett Gelman as the grumpy neighbor Mr. Grumps. Overall, Lyle, the Crocodile is a charming and uplifting film that’s sure to put a smile on your face.
