Flora & Ulysses
Flora & Ulysses has found its Flora in Broadway sensation Matilda Lawler of The Ferryman. The Disney+ adaption films in Vancouver this summer.
Working title: Pushpin.
Filming dates: June 23rd to August 22nd.
Cast: Matilda Lawler, Alyson Hannigan, Ben Schwartz, Danny Pudi and Benjamin Evans Ainsworth.
Alyson Hannigon will play her Mom. The Buffy the Vampire Slayer and How I Met Your Mother alum was here a year ago to play Kim Possible’s Mom in Disney’s Kim Possible.
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.
