Flora and Ulysses Reviews
Goes down easy with audiences of all ages, even if only the youngest of the lot is likely to remember it for long.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 30, 2021
A horrid, sugary abomination that seems to exist only to repeatedly mention I.P. recently acquired by Disney.

Bolstered by committed performances from the adults on board and one incredibly likable kid in the lead role, Flora & Ulysses is a light, enjoyable romp that never takes itself too seriously and lets itself just have fun.

It's encouraging to see someone at the studio remembers that not every film has to be do or die, even if it has superheroes on its mind.
| Original Score: 6/10 | Jun 1, 2021
The film has its cape hung up out of sight, tights put away in drawers, and heart smack dab in the right place.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 17, 2021
And yes, "Flora & Ulysses" certainly follows a predictable arc, but the style of storytelling immerses you into Flora's world, and we suspend all belief and just enjoy the ride.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 16, 2021
Built in the mode of "Alexander's ... Very Bad Day," it's sweet, it's silly, it's wholesome and it boasts just the right amount of comforting predictability.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 16, 2021
Alyson Hannigan, Ben Schwartz and Matilda Lawler give delightfully funny performances in this film about the unexpected, love and loss.

Flawed, but fun for the whole family, Flora & Ulysses has heart.
| Original Score: 6/10 | Mar 5, 2021
It's sweet, and it's heart's in the right place.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 27, 2021

[A] very disarming and charming little film.

Some times you can dumb things down too far. Disappointing but not completely damaging.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 25, 2021
This Disney+ release feels more like a merchandised product than any sort of creatively-crafted creation.
| Feb 24, 2021
A charmer with cross-generational appeal.

Not an all-timer, but a pretty darned good diversion. If nothing else, it's a welcome reminder to the youngsters out there that heroes come in all types of package - big and small.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 23, 2021
While this movie is made specifically for children, it's very well done and adults will find some fun in it too. Charming story, solid VFX and Matilda Lawler is a great find.

Furry Superhero Squirrels left me with hope and joy while being elated over Hollywood's newest little leading lady - Matilda Lawler. So much fun for adults and kids alike.

There's a lot of slapstick and broad humor that saps "Flora & Ulysses" of much of its heart.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 20, 2021
While a little dark and a little unsteady, Flora & Ulysses still hits most of the right beats and manages to find some resonant, intelligent things to say.
| Original Score: 7.1/10 | Feb 20, 2021
