Waber found that he was always thinking about children’s books and even enjoyed the periods between writing books because it allowed for adventurous thought. He preferred to write while in motion, such as on trains or subways, as it helped to shake ideas loose in his head. While skilled at writing and illustrating, he preferred writing due to the freedom it offered. Waber’s passion for children’s books led him to create several beloved books, including “The House on East 88th Street,”“Ira Sleeps Over,” and “Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile.” The internationally acclaimed series is now featured in an HBO Storytime Musical and a nationally touring musical.

The film was released on VOD on November 22, 2022, and on Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K UHD on December 13, 2022.

Based on the best-selling book series by Bernard Waber, Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile is a live-action / CGI musical comedy 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 (Shawn 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 Primm’s must band together with Lyle’s charismatic owner, Hector P. Valenti (Javier 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. Bardem wanted to make a movie that his kids could see and enjoy. The directors explain that he is a “warm and squishy family man” and that his role in this film was a full family affair. In fact, the directors say they even got notes from Bardem’s son. Pedersen, Erik (June 29, 2023).

Bernard Waber, who passed away in 2013 at the age of 91, was a renowned children’s book author and illustrator who became interested in creating children’s books after his art portfolio, containing children’s illustrations, caught several art directors’ attention. At the same time, Waber was reading aloud to his three children, which sparked his enthusiasm for the genre. His children, however, occasionally became uncomfortable with his constant focus on children’s books as they thought he, as an adult, should be more focused on adult literature.
