Not only is it a fun adventure for kids, but it also conveys many important and hopeful messages. Funny and heartwarming, with great animation and a great voice cast, Adam Sandler delivers a delightful story. [Full Review in Spanish]

John Daniel Tangalin The Cinema Spot Jul 18, 2025 4/5
From the first scene on, the screenwriters never waste a moment to relent in tackling themes like growing up, human connection, accentuating imperfection, socioeconomic class matters, the pricelessness of time, and broken home environments.

Too many cooks may spoil the broth but it turns out that three directors can, in fact, make a fun movie, at least if Leo is anything to go by....

Leo is a surprising, touching delight. Packed with witty original songs and threaded with a genuinely affecting narrative that speaks to kids and adults alike, the film earned the entirety of my attention.

Luke Goodsell ABC News (Australia) Apr 10, 2024
The star’s childlike naïveté is well suited to this pre-teen world, where the tone meets kids on their own terms — and the life lessons are delivered with a refreshing lack of sentimentality.

"Leo" has a positive message and some first-rate Sandler voice work. For many viewers, that's probably enough. But honesty compels us to note that there's a much better movie in there somewhere.

This animated musical, called Leo, is way more heartwarming than I was expecting, but it is as silly as I thought it would be.

“Leo” is a simple, yet effective, animated movie, whose gentle humor disguises a sweet parable about learning from one’s elders — even the scaly ones.

Leo models not only the importance of intergenerational friendships in a historically lonely time but also the importance of their mutuality.

It tells a fantastical tale about being young and growing old, and how similarly strange, frightening and joyous both things can be, for everybody.

Alan French Sunshine State Cineplex Dec 2, 2023 5/10
poor story construction, bad visuals, and a crippling budget leave this as a mediocre Netflix animated flick. With a talented cast and Sandler leading the way, it’s hard not to feel disappointed.

Mat Brunet AniMat's Review (YouTube) Dec 1, 2023 6.5/10
I can confidently say that this is the best animated film featuring Adam Sandler yet. I know that bar was set pretty low beforehand and this still isn’t all that great, but having that title is worth something.

There's something worse than Adam Sandler trying to be funny -- it's Adam Sandler trying to be touching.

Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall Nov 28, 2023 3.5/5
This animated comedy makes up for its relatively standard design with colourful characters, snappy dialog, witty songs and an involving narrative.

Korey Coleman Double Toasted Nov 28, 2023
The movie has a real heart to it. Leo goes to weird places that some of the more successful Pixar films do, even if it can't fully compete with their storytelling.
