Netflix has dropped a trailer for its animated musical comedy “Leo,” starring Adam Sandler as a 74-year-old lizard.

Per the official logline, Sandler voices Leo, a class pet who discovers that he only has one year left to live. Faced with the prospect of imminent death, Leo decides to head out and explore the outside world. However, he finds his plans derailed by the students of his classroom and a mean substitute teacher.

Sandler also serves as producer and songwriter of “Leo,” which is directed by Robert Smigel, Robert Marianetti and David Wachtenheim. Smigel co-wrote the script along with Sandler and Paul Sado. 

The comedy boasts an impressive cast, with Bill Burr voicing a fellow class pet and turtle named Squirtle. “Saturday Night Live” alum Cecily Strong, Oscar-nominated “Everything Everywhere All at Once” actor Stephanie Hsu and “Seinfeld” star Jason Alexander round out the cast, along with Sandler’s own wife, Jackie Sandler, and their two daughters Sunny Sandler and Sadie Sandler (“You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah”).

The trailer sees Leo realize that he’s getting older with every new batch of fifth graders. When a substitute teacher arrives, she orders that the children must take turns bringing the class pets home. Leo takes it as his chance to escape, but soon forms a close relationship with the students once they discover that he can talk. In the process of helping them face personal challenges, Leo finds his own purpose in life. 

“This is a tough time, but these are the best years,” Leo tells a struggling student.

“Leo” premieres Nov. 21 on Netflix.
