LYLE, LYLE CROCODILE

Recommended. The croc is cute and tiny at first so a cinema screen is essential. He can actually sing - the songs are in the English original by Shawn Mendes. In Atmos, with visual effects created in Australia. It's an actors' film, the croc, especially his eyes and face express a lot. It's often touching, especially since it contains serious undertones of how pets are kids' best friends ad how adults treat animals. My eyes welled up a number of times. On the brighter side, the cat offers several hilarious bits, as does the grumpy neighbour insulting the judge. The end credits are surrounded by drawings retelling the story.
