Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z fan, I am excited about the upcoming animated movie "Leo." The voice cast is impressive, with Adam Sandler, Bill Burr, and Cecily Strong lending their talents to the project. The characters they play are also intriguing, especially Leo, the 74-year-old lizard who has been confined to the same Florida classroom for longer than he can recall. I can't wait to see how his story unfolds and how he interacts with the other characters.
Overall, I think "Leo" has the potential to be a fun and heartwarming film that will appeal to audiences of all ages. I'm looking forward to seeing it when it premieres on Netflix.
