Hector, a failed magician, finds a singing crocodile called Lyle that he’s sure will lead him to success. Unfortunately, Lyle gets a massive case of stage fright that costs Hector his NYC brownstone — and his pet. So when the Primm family moves in, their son Josh (who’s in desperate need of a pal) is surprised to find that Lyle’s been living in their attic all alone. The two become fast friends, and Mr. and Mrs. Primm eventually warm up to Lyle too. But their downstairs neighbor, Mr. Grumps, is not having it — and he’ll do anything to boot the croc out of his home. Where does Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile take place? Everyone in the neighborhood loves Lyle the crocodile—except for a cranky neighbor and his nervous cat! Can lovable Lyle make everything right with his grumpy neighbors?

Lyle tries to win over Mr. Grumps, but everything he does seems to go wrong.Robert Abele was less than positive with his review writing for The Wrap: "Did Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile look good in storyboards or sound fun in creative meetings? Because it's a certifiable mess on its webbed hind feet, teetering uncomfortably as both fanciful family comedy and live-action/animated musical, whether trying to make dumpster diving look whimsical (it isn't) or the tunes sound like anything but positivity-anthem-generator readouts." [45] When the Primm family (Constance 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 (Shawn 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 Primm's must band together with Lyle's charismatic owner, Hector P. Valenti (Javier 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.
