“Flora & Ulysses” is a delightful comedy-adventure based on the Newbery Award-winning book about 10-year-old Flora, an avid comic book fan and a self-avowed cynic, whose parents have recently separated. After rescuing a squirrel she names Ulysses, Flora is amazed to discover he possesses unique superhero powers which take them on an adventure of humorous complications that ultimately change Flora's life--and her outlook--forever.

Personal Comment:
I can't remember ever seeing a movie with a squirrel as one of the main characters and then with superpowers too... A great imaginative idea and entertaining to watch too.
Also nice that Disney once again jumps over its shadows and breaks certain role clichés a little further. A girl who passionately (if rather secretly) reads comics with superheroes, a welcome change.
