The great feeling that comes from a children's movie. It's quite interesting that Javier Bardem plays such a funny and less serious character, I hope he gets more roles like this in the future, he also sings pretty well. Especially Shawn Mendes, whose voice suits Lyle so well that I can't even imagine.

Personally, I enjoy this movie a lot compared to other recent Hollywood movies. The film composes songs that are easy to listen to and the humorous situations are subtly included. Hope the movie gets the attention it deserves A round of applause to the cast and crew for making such a good movie adaptation.

What a sweet and tender movie, great for children and the whole family. There was no profanity and mention of drugs or alcohol; very clean!!! Lyle was sweet and tender despite not talking except when singing with the voice of Shawn Mendes. Lyle's expressions were charming and expressive (grate animation). Javier Bardem was great, as always. Fun and touching musical numbers; please don't forget to take tissues with you as it has moments that will make you tear up a bit. Please, go to the theater and see it on the big screen, take your children they will love it as much as I did! I would love to see it again.

Lyle is an absolutely adorable character. And Javier Bardem and Constance Wu deliver excellent performances. All in all, it was a moderately enjoyable affair.

What kept Lyle from reaching its potential were the story, the pacing and the songs. The story lacks an antagonist, a threat, some kind of objective that looms large. And that absence is felt, with multiple moments begging the question "wonderful characters, but what is this all about ultimately?".

The pacing was a little off, with really exciting moments followed by long, trudging luls. While everyone was so very incredibly charming, the movie did feel boring at times.

Finally, the missed opportunity is the songs. They're simply not iconic. I still remember songs from Frozen, Moana, Encanto and others, but I'm confident that I won't remember any of the tunes from Lyle.

This may not read like a particularly flattering review and that's not my intention. I though Lyle was nice, but not particularly so. I might just be spoiled by what seems like so many other exceptionally good animation films these past few years.
