Directed by Lena Khan, Flora & Ulysses tells the story of a 10-year-old Flora, an avid comic book fan, who saves a squirrel she names Ulysses only to have its unique superhero powers wreak havoc in a series of humorous and antic-filled adventures that ultimately change Flora’s life forever. Making her big-screen debut as Flora is Broadway star Matilda Lawler, with Alyson Hannigan (“How I Met Your Mother”) as Flora’s romance-writer mother Phyllis, Ben Schwartz (“Parks and Recreation”) as her estranged father George, Danny Pudi (“Community”) as an overly zealous animal control officer Miller, and newcomer Benjamin Evans Ainsworth as Flora’s friend William.
