Valerie Wu Intern Netflix has dropped a trailer for its animated musical comedy “Leo,” starring Adam Sandler as a 74-year-old lizard.
Per the official logline, Sandler voices Leo, a class pet who discovers that he only has one year left to live. Faced with the prospect of imminent death, Leo decides to head out and explore the outside world.
However, he finds his plans derailed by the students of his classroom and a mean substitute teacher. Sandler also serves as producer and songwriter of “Leo,” which is directed by Robert Smigel, Robert Marianetti and David Wachtenheim.
Smigel co-wrote the script along with Sandler and Paul Sado. The comedy boasts an impressive cast, with Bill Burr voicing a fellow class pet and turtle named Squirtle. “Saturday Night Live” alum Cecily Strong, Oscar-nominated “Everything Everywhere All at Once” actor Stephanie Hsu and “Seinfeld” star Jason Alexander round out the cast, along with Sandler’s own wife, Jackie Sandler, and their two daughters Sunny Sandler and Sadie Sandler (“You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah”).
