Summary

"Leo" is only the second animated film from Happy Madison Productions following "Eight Crazy Nights." It has garnered positive reviews for its animation, comedy, voice-acting, and music and stars the voice talents of Adam Sandler, Bill Burr, and Cecily Strong. Co-directors Robert Marianetti and David Wachtenheim made their feature directorial debuts with this film (and co-directed alongside "The Week Of" director Robert Smigel) and were kind enough to spend a few minutes talking with us about their work on the film. Please be sure to check out the film, which is currently streaming on Netflix; take a listen below and enjoy! Thank you. Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
