Arlo the Alligator Boy

Arlo Beauregard is abandoned shortly after birth due to his unique lineage of both human and alligator. He is swept away through a sewage drain, signifying the beginning of his extraordinary journey.

After being swept into the ocean, Arlo finds refuge in a swamp. There, he is lovingly adopted and raised by Edmée, who provides him with a nurturing home.

On his fifteenth birthday, Edmée presents Arlo with a wristband that reveals details about his origin in New York City. This revelation leaves Arlo with a strong desire to discover his biological father.

Motivated by his longing for connection, Arlo embarks on a quest to find his biological father, Ansel Beauregard. This journey marks a pivotal turning point in his life as he seeks answers about his origins.

While traveling, Arlo is spotted by a passerby who alerts alligator hunters, Ruff and Stucky. They attempt to capture him using a fierce creature known as 'the Beast', showcasing the dangers he faces.

In a moment of peril, Arlo is rescued by a fellow teenager named Bertie. This marks the beginning of their friendship as they decide to work together against adversity.

Arlo and Bertie venture into a wrestling club where they meet Furlecia, Teeny Tiny Tony, and Alia. They pledge their support to help Arlo and Bertie reach New York City, further solidifying their alliance.

Upon arriving in New York City, Arlo and his friends catch sight of Ansel Beauregard, now an entrepreneur with grand plans for the city. This marks a moment of hope for Arlo as he hopes to connect with his father.

Arlo bravely approaches Ansel to communicate, only to be struck down when Ansel claims he is not his son. This revelation shatters Arlo's hopes, leading him to dispute Ansel's assertion.

Devastated by the confrontation, Arlo seeks solace in a sewage drain. His friends locate him, reminding him that it's okay to be different and that one's worth is not defined by outward appearances.

In a daring escapade, Arlo and his friends infiltrate the Met Gala. This high-stakes event quickly turns chaotic as they are pursued by Ruff, Stucky, and the Beast, intensifying the conflict.

During the chaos of the gala, Ansel reveals that he is, in fact, Arlo’s father. He confesses that he gave Arlo up to protect him from the difficulties associated with their unique identities.

Overjoyed by the revelation, Arlo forgives Ansel, embracing the complexities of their relationship. Arlo chooses to stay with his friends, marking a significant moment of acceptance and belonging.

Ansel decides to let Arlo and his friends revitalize the seashore area of the city, aligning their visions. This decision represents a new beginning for Arlo, who finally feels a sense of belonging.

In a touching mid-credits scene, Edmée receives a postcard detailing Arlo's fulfilling life. It symbolizes the unbreakable bond of love and connection that transcends physical distance.
