The crocodile from the beloved children's book comes to life -- and he sounds a lot like Shawn Mendes.

Based on the best-selling book series by Bernard Waber, Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile  is a live-action/CGI musical comedy that stars Academy Award-winner Javier Bardem, Constance Wu and Shawn Mendes as the voice of Lyle.

About the film: When the Primm family (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 (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 neighbor Mr. Grumps (Brett Gelman), the Primms must band together with Lyle’s charismatic owner, Hector P. Valenti (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.

And yes, Shawn Mendes sings, and so do Javier Bardem, and Constance Wu!  Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile features original songs written by Benj Pasek & Justin Paul, (the songwriting team behind The Greatest Showman).

Lyle, Lyle Crocodile is rated PG for mild peril and thematic elements.
