    A great movie for the family!

    This movie is great for the whole family. It is relatable to kids and adults. The music may not be like some Disney movies, but each song is original, entertaining, and not overly drawn out or overdone. The movie tries to incorporate current topics, trends and technology. It incorporates multicultural, ethnic and generational aspects. It also brings to light many issues that may be sensitive to kids of all ages. This includes issues like bullying, class clowns, popularity, ADHD, where do babies come from, etc. The kid actors do a nice job, including the singing. The movie is a little long compared to many animated movies, but it's okay since the movie keeps you engaged from start to finish.

    Lovely movie

    This movie was a fun watch: great animation quality, good writing, funny, sweet. I had no idea Adam Sandler's company can do animations, so this was a nice surprise. Great job.

    Adam's voice is a great fit for the wise advice-giving lizard. Generally the voice acting is great.

    The plot is great and full of funny moments and twists. I never felt bored, so I think that's a testament to great writing. The movie doesn't take itself too seriously but still manages to deliver a heartwarming fun experience.

    It's definitely worth a watch and I hope Happy Madison do more titles like this one, great start.

    Leo is a gem of an animated film.

    Giving this an 8/10 rating

    Saw preview in the cinema for this absurd and wonderful animation. It really must get a proper cinema release.

    Adam Sandler is Leo, an aged reptile stuck in rut with his turtle friend - Squirtle, voiced by a very laid back Bill Burr. Both are stuck in glass tank at the school watching life go by in the classroom, when a big change happens that leads the both of them, on a complete turn events.

    Each human kid and adult are profiled and transformed in quite hilarious ways, and the songs are not to be taken seriously as you will be laughing along with the visual gags that go with the flow.

    It looks all brilliant and the character designs work and not look dopey, which seems to be a trend these days, bad character design. Great musical numbers that are well staged are used just right. Adam Sandler is noted down as writer and producer, it's his company, after all. More like this please, Adam.

    Cute wholesome movie

    This movie has some great moments and is a great watch for young and old alike.

    Story Summary: And biology class type lizard and turtle are well on age and when Leo the Lizard finds out he has little time to live he wants to give back to the kids.

    Analysis: The makers really tried to do something different here. And it comes through. The movie is lovely and even has quite of bit of action in there to keep viewers engaged.

    Dialogue & Music: It can get a bit talkshowish at times, but being as wholesome the sweetness does fit the movie.

    Voice acting: No stand outs, everyone is doing a great job.

    Visuals: Absolute excellence the vibrant colors and characters as well as the scenes are fantastic.

    An impressive surprise amidst the new releases

    Randomly saw this movie on Netflix and gave it a shot. Even as a children-family oriented movie, I liked it.

    Adam Sandler has been on a streak of featuring in movies were mostly okay or so so. Leo turned out to be better than expected with satisfying parameters.

    While most of the interactions were with children, the offered wisdom and guidance to help them was insightful. This movie is a good reminder everyone is going through their own struggles in life. People are not alone in their daily problems, everyone needs some help sooner than never.

    It was interesting to see some adult like references which were played out very well. This is a good movie, a nice watch on a relaxing day.
