| Flora and Ulysses | comment |
Flora & Ulysses is a 2021 family comedy starring Alyson Hannigan, Ben Schwartz, Matilda Lawler, Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, Danny Pudi, and Kate Micucci. It is based on the 2013 children's book of the same name written by Kate DiCamillo, and was released on Disney+ on February 19, 2021.10-year-old Flora Buckman is a creative and imaginative comic-book fan, but her rough childhood that's about to culminate in her parents' difficult careers causing their impending divorce has made her cynical. One day, her next-door neighbor Phyllis ends up having mechanical trouble with her Ulysses-brand vacuum, and it absorbs a wild squirrel before powering down. Flora saves the squirrel's life, then finds out that it is sentient and has gained superpowers from the vacuum, typing a barely readable message on her mom's typewriter. Flora names the squirrel after the vacuum and tries to help him manage his powers and learn his purpose. However, a vicious animal control agent named Miller eventually catches wind of Ulysses and sets out to capture him.Previews: Trailer. | |
