Netflix has unveiled the first trailer for its upcoming animated movie musical, “Leo,” starring actor and comedian Adam Sandler alongside his daughters Sadie and Sunny. The film centers around an aging class pet, Leo, who discovers that he has only one year left to live.
Produced by Happy Madison and directed by Robert Marianetti, Robert Smigel, and David Wachtenheim, “Leo” tells the story of a 74-year-old lizard named Leo who learns about his limited time left. As Leo’s Florida elementary school students prepare for their final year, Leo decides to make the most of his remaining time, embarking on a different journey than his previous decades spent with his terrarium-mate turtle, voiced by Bill Burr.
In the trailer, Leo expresses a feeling that something big is going to happen this year. Despite devising a plan to escape from Fort Myers Elementary School and fulfill a bucket list of experiences in the outside world, Leo finds himself getting entangled in the lives and problems of his anxious fifth-grade students, including a mean substitute teacher.
The teaser promises a series of adventures for Leo, including destroying LEGO cities, facing off against alligators, riding on drones and bubbles, attending birthday parties, and going on road trips as he becomes a therapist to his peculiar students.
