Who is Javier Bardem playing in Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile?

Javier Bardem is playing Signor Valenti, who, in the books, is the original owner of Lyle. You could view him as the villain of the first book, which works for Bardem’s excellent acting skills. But, the trailer makes Signor Valenti seem nicer than in the books?

What is the plot of Lyle, Lyle Crocodile?

Based on the best-selling book series by Bernard Waber, Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile is a live-action/CGI musical comedy. Basically, a family finds a talking crocodile in their New York City apartment, and things go from there. Here’s the official synopsis from Sony: The trailer perfectly captures the madcap spirit of the book. When Mom argues against keeping Lyle because he’s, you know, a crocodile, Josh notes that, yes, crocodiles do have a taste for human flesh, but insists that Lyle’s not like that. “He wears a scarf… and can sing!” And those songs should be strong, since they’ll be sung by the talented Mendes and are written by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, the duo behind The Greatest Showman, as well as Ari Afsar, Emily Gardner Xu Hall, Mark Sonnenblick, and Joriah Kwamé.
