'Arlo The Alligator Boy' Trailer: A Half-Human, Half-Alligator Heads To New York City

I am absolutely not the target audience for Arlo the Alligator Boy, but hey, this looks sweet, and I dig the animation style on display in this trailer. In Arlo the Alligator Boy, "Upon learning that he is from New York City, Arlo, a wide-eyed boy who is half human and half alligator, decides to leave his sheltered life in the swamp and search for his long lost father. The animated musical movie, Arlo the Alligator Boy, will launch Arlo's journey as he meets a group of misfits who quickly become his new family. Once Arlo's adventure lands him in New York City, the series, I Heart Arlo, will kick off as he and his newfound crew set up shop in an abandoned seaside neighborhood and help bring it back to life." You read that right: this movie is kind of a prequel to an upcoming 20-episode series, called I Heart Arlo. Netflix is thinking ahead.

The cast includes Michael J. Woodard (Arlo), Mary Lambert (Bertie), Michael "Flea" Balzary of the Red Hot Chili Peppers (Ruff), Annie Potts (Edmee), Tony Hale (Teeny Tiny Tony), Brett Gelman (Marcellus), Jonathan Van Ness (Furlecia), Haley Tju (Alia), Jennifer Coolidge (Stucky), and Vincent Rodriguez III (Ansel Beauregard). Ryan Crego directed the pic, and wrote the songs with Alex Geringas. Speaking of the music, here's a track from the soundtrack.
