"Did you put your mouth on the squirrel?" "I had to." "Was he clean?" "Probably not."
"Can you point the Jack and Rose at me?"
"Holy unanticipated occurrences!"
I love when it feels like they made a movie just for me. I haven't watched something so fast after first finding out about it in forever. I didn't even know about the book of this which surprises me, 'cos I loved Kate DiCamillo's other stuff like Because of Winn-Dixie, and the setup alone would've grabbed me as it did here - but I guess it just slipped by me. When I saw the poster on Disney+ I felt like Homer Simpson and Mr Sparkle 'cos this is pretty much my Second Life avatar, a little blonde girl and her crazy squirrel. There isn't a lot more to say, I was just always going to love this, but for what it's worth it's just really well executed too, great effects and performances (especially Matilda Lawler and Alyson Hannigan). For me, an instant fave. I really needed a surprise like this today.

Perhaps others will find enjoyment with this, fair enough if so. For me, though, it's average
Bit of a waste, in the end.
'Flora & Ulysses' isn't a bad watch, but it doesn't utilise a cool premise or a strong showing from youngster Matilda Lawler. The latter fairly impressed me, especially early on. Behind her, Ben Schwartz is OK and Alyson Hannigan is, as seemingly always, likeable.
Given how interesting the concept is, the film barely even touches on Ulysses' abilities - when they do, e.g. at the diner, then it is actually nicely created with the effects, slow motion et al. Instead they focus on a familial story, which didn't intrigue me whatsoever. I did like the comic book onscreen graphics, mind.
Perhaps others will find enjoyment with this, fair enough if so. For me, though, it's average and forgettable.
Another worst film! Full of boring conversation, and annoying overuse scene! Avoid at all cost!
This film start with a girl "Flora" talking about a bunch of superheroes, and she bargain with a man scene! As turnout, this film is a story surrounding of Flora with the squirrel she save from a vacuum "Ulysses"! Entire film full of boring conversation, and annoying overuse scene! Such as, overuse of the playing dumb scene, overuse of the tripping scene, overuse of the causing havoc scene, overuse of the imagination scene, overuse of the narration scene, overuse of the walking scene, overuse of the running scene, overuse of the driving scene, overuse of the slow motion scene, overuse of the staring scene, overuse of the calling names scene, and overuse of the dining scene! Make the film unwatchable! At the end, the comic book about Ulysses been published! Still have a post credit scene! The cat still haunting Miller! That's it! Another disappointed film!
