In the trailer, old lizard Leo, having lived all his life in a terrarium in a classroom as a class pet along with a turtle named Squirtle (Bil Burr), has an existential crisis of sorts. Things change for the little, old guy in the last year of elementary school.
“When he learns he only has one year left to live, he plans to escape to experience life on the outside but instead gets caught up in the problems of his anxious students — including an impossibly mean substitute teacher. It ends up being the strangest but most rewarding bucket list ever,” reads the plot description from Netflix.
Leo is written by Smigel, Sandler and Paul Sado. Sandler’s wife, Jackie, and two daughters, Sunny and Sadie, are also part of the voice cast of the film, featuring alongside Cecily Strong, Stephanie Hsu, and Jason Alexander.
