From the moment Hector P. Valenti (Javier Bardem) a down-on-his-luck magician walks into an exotic pet store and discovers a singing baby croc, you know you are in for something silly. Bardem plays into the comedy by continuing his tradition of big roles and bad hair. Bardem’s crazy foliage and an animated singing gator, what could go possibly wrong?

Based on the best-selling book series by Bernard Waber, Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile, starring Academy Award-winner Javier Bardem, Constance Wu and Shawn Mendes, is a live-action/CGI family comedy adventure that brings this beloved character to a new, global audience.

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 (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 neighbour Mr. Grumps (Brett Gelman), the Primms must band together with Lyle’s charismatic owner, Hector P. Valenti (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.

Special advance screenings of the family movie event Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile will be held at select cinemas nationally to support this unique respite program for children with special needs.

This year marks 24 years that the Sony Foundation has funded the Children’s Holiday Camp Program, affectionately known as ‘Sony Camp’.

Sony Camps empower high school and university students to take on the responsibility for the full-time care of children with disability for three days and two nights, allowing their families to access critical respite.

This year, 900 students from 50 schools and universities around the country will provide the holiday of a lifetime for over 500 children with disability at no cost to their families/carers. Funds raised will ensure the program continues to grow and offer this extraordinary opportunity to more families around Australia, including those from regional and remote areas.

The special screenings will take place from 10am* on Sunday, December 11 at Event Cinemas, Village Cinemas, Greater Union, Birch Carroll & Coyle, Hoyts, Dendy, Reading, Wallis, Grand Cinemas, Ace Cinemas, Limelight and United Cinemas. Please check local cinema listings for session times and participating locations.
