Adam Sandler is no stranger to finding success on Netflix. The comedian extended his lucrative deal with the streaming giant back in January 2020 for four more feature films. The latest of these movies is the animated family flick Leo, which was released on November 2023.
Sandler voices Leo, a lizard who has spent his life as a 5th-grade class pet at an elementary school in Florida alongside a turtle (voiced by Bill Burr). After learning he likely only has a year left of his life, Leo plans to escape. Unfortunately, his classroom is put under the instruction of a mean substitute teacher who requires the student to take home one of the pets every weekend. Leo plans to use his weekend getaway to escape, but ends up sticking around when he learns he can help the students through their personal struggles.
