Shawn Mendes is a singing croc in trailer for Sony’s Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile

August 10, 2022 by Amie Cranswick

Sony Pictures has debuted the first trailer for Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile, the upcoming live-action/CGI musical comedy based on Bernard Waber’s bestselling book series which follows young Jack Primm as he struggles with his new school and making friends after moving to New York City with his family, until he meets Lyle, a singing crocodile who lives in the attic of his new home. Check out the trailer below…

When the Primm family (Constance Wu, Scoot McNairy, Winslow Fegley) moves to New York City, their young son Josh struggles to adapt to his new school and new friends. All of that changes when he discovers Lyle – a singing crocodile (Shawn Mendes) who loves baths, caviar and great music – living in the attic of his new home. The two become fast friends, but when Lyle’s existence is threatened by evil neighbour Mr. Grumps (Brett Gelman), the Primm’s must band together with Lyle’s charismatic owner, Hector P. Valenti (Javier Bardem), to show the world that family can come from the most unexpected places and there’s nothing wrong with a big singing crocodile with an even bigger personality.

Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile stars Winslow Fegley, Constance Wu, Scoot McNairy, Brett Gelman, Javier Barden, with Shawn Mendes as Lyle.

Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile arrives in cinemas on October 14th.
