Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile

Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile is a 2022 American live-action/computer animated musical fantasy comedy film directed by Will Speck and Josh Gordon from a screenplay by William Davies. Produced by Columbia Pictures in association with Eagle Pictures and TSG Entertainment II, and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing, it is an adaptation of the children's story of the same name and its predecessor The House on East 88th Street by Bernard Waber. The plot focuses on a family who moves to New York City, where their struggling son befriends a singing crocodile and tries to protect him from the rest of the world. The film stars Shawn Mendes as the voice of the titular character, alongside Javier Bardem, Constance Wu, Winslow Fegley, Scoot McNairy, Brett Gelman, and Ego Nwodim.

Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile was released in the United States on October 7, 2022, by Columbia Pictures. This marked the first time that the 2022 cloud transition was seen both theatrically and on home media, though Bullet Train was the very first movie to introduce it despite this newer logo only being seen theatrically. The film received generally positive reviews from critics with praise for Bardem's acting and Mendes' singing performance as Lyle, but criticized the visuals. The film grossed $111 million worldwide against a $50 million budget.
