Flora & Ulysses

Post by Sotiris »

Another live-action movie for Disney's upcoming streaming service.
Disney is in early development of a family drama based on Kate DiCamillo’s novel “Flora and Ulysses” for its upcoming Disney DTC (direct-to-consumer) service, Variety has learned exclusively.

“Flora and Ulysses” centers on a cynical girl who spends her time reading comic books and a squirrel who is run over by the neighbor’s vacuum cleaner. The squirrel’s brush with death causes him to develop superpowers.

Gil Netter is producing and Lena Khan will direct from a Brad Copeland adapted script. Sam Dickerman is the Disney exec.

For some reason, I keep thinking that this will be a show, but it's a film. I liked the clip we saw at the Investor's presentation a few weeks ago; Ulysses reminded me a bit of Pip from Enchanted. I'm looking forward to this.
