This weekend, moviegoers met a singing crocodile. Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile is a musical with a touch of animation courtesy of its singing and dancing leading man. Well, more like a croc. With Shawn Mendes covering the vocals, Lyle is a sweet reptile with some serious vocal talent. Yet, he can only sing.
Along with Mendes, the film also stars Constance Wu, Scoot McNairy, Brett Gelman, Winslow Figley, and Javier Bardem. And frankly, watching Mr. Bardem sing and dance is quite a delight. Josh Gordon and Will Speck direct the film with charm and clearly, a bit of humor.
Recently, we spoke with the men behind the music, Mr. Gordon and Mr. Speck. It was terrific talking with these filmmakers about merging animation with live-action. The two also discussed the casting of Javier Bardem and Winslow Figley. The cast is quite good here, and the director shows respect for the source material. Check out Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile at a theatre near you (read our review).
