Executive produced and directed by Ryan Crego (Home: Adventures with Tip & Oh, Sanjay and Craig) from his original story concept with Blake Lemons as supervising producer, Arlo the Alligator Boy follows a wide-eyed youngun, who happens to be half human and half gator, from his sheltered life in the swamp to bustling New York City on a mission to find his long-lost father.

The 80 min., 2D-animated movie boasts a stellar voice cast of actors and singers, including Michael J.

Arlo’s big musical adventure will lead into a follow-up series, I ❤️ Arlo, which will pick up in NYC as the gang goes about revitalizing their abandoned seaside neighborhood.
