Abstract

Leo is a talking animal movie that appeals to both children and adults. The film, co-directed by Robert Smigel and written by Smigel, Adam Sandler, and Paul Sado, features a witty script with clever jokes and a touch of cynicism. The story follows Leo, a lizard voiced by Sandler, who wants to see the world before he dies. Along the way, Leo imparts worldly advice to children and satirizes education, parenting, and childhood. The film's voiceover work, including Sandler and Cecily Strong, is praised, and the animation by Animal Logic adds energy to the comedy. While the film has some demerits, such as forgettable songs and a forced plot point, it remains consistently funny and surprisingly deep. [Extracted from the article]
