Working title: Pushpin.
Filming dates: June 23rd to August 22nd.
Alyson Hannigon — a Buffy the Vampire Slayer and How I Met Your Mother alum — was here a year ago to play Kim’s Mom Dr. Ann Possible in Disney’s Kim Possible.
Alyson Hannigan, her husband Alexis Denisof (who recurred on Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) and their daughters at the Kim Possible premiere.
Cast: Alyson Hannigan, Ben Schwartz.
It begins, as the best superhero stories do, with a tragic accident that has unexpected consequences. The squirrel never saw the vacuum cleaner coming, but self-described cynic Flora Belle Buckman, who has read every issue of the comic book Terrible Things Can Happen to You!, is the just the right person to step in and save him. What neither can predict is that Ulysses (the squirrel) has been born anew, with powers of strength, flight, and misspelled poetry—and that Flora will be changed too, as she discovers the possibility of hope and the promise of a capacious heart.
