Valenti, to show the world that family can come from the most unexpected places and there\u2019s nothing wrong with a big singing crocodile with an even bigger personality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KIDS FIRST! Film Critic Katherine S. comments, \u201cLyle, Lyle, Crocodile is an outrageous musical movie that the whole family will adore, especially those who have read the Lyle the Crocodile books.\u201d Keila V. adds, \u201cThis movie is funny; the music is contagious; and the love and care of one another is beautiful. The special effects and scenes of the film are incredible! What I love about the film is how Lyle the Crocodile (Shawn Mendes), with his special talent changes the lives of the main characters in the film.\u201d Sariah R. wraps it up with, \u201c! What makes this film so funny is that Lyle is a crocodile that can literally dance, cook and sing. Lyle, as baby, reminds me of my dog when he was a tiny puppy! Lyle as a grown-up has unexpected qualities; we didn\u2019t expect him to be that shy, knowing he\u2019s a beautiful singer.\u201dSee their full reviews below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
