Adam Sandler Voices Classroom Lizard in Netflix's 'Leo'

Coming-of-age animated film tackles fifth-graders' anxieties and modern parenting through the perspective of a wise, talking lizard.

Adam Sandler voices the character of Leo, a lizard who has lived in a classroom for nearly 80 years, in the new Netflix animated film 'Leo'.
The film is a coming-of-age musical that deals with fifth-graders facing their last year of middle school and their anxieties.
Leo, realizing he is nearing the end of his life, becomes obsessed with making the most of his last year and finding purpose beyond being a class pet.
