Lyle, Lyle Crocodile is ultimately a kids’ movie about tenants’ rights.Īs cute as the trailer is, it’s, erm, unnerving to hear Mendes’ whiny, boy band-adjacent singing voice coming out of the mouth of an animated crocodile in a sweater.

“I see you’ve met my crocodile,” Bardem greets the Primms in the trailer, tipping his bowler hat. Valenti, Lyle’s owner-slash-singing-partner.
When the Primm family moves into the house, they’re stunned to discover that Lyle lives in their attic.
