Flora y Ulises

This movie was exactly what we wanted for our movie night! We all laughed so many times and enjoyed the more sentimental moments too. Alyson Hannigan and Ben Schwartz were excellent! Matilda was such a little spit fire. All of my boys loved Benjamin Ainsworth as well. We will definitely be watching this one again!

Within the story structure of a romantic comedy and the thematic structure of a classic children's film this feature captures the irony and sarcasm towards both themes about as well as the original Shrek film did. To be clear, this is NOT an animated feature. Rather it is a live action film with an animated character, like Pete's Dragon. The animated character now done in CGI of course.

Easter eggs galore for adult watchers from the Imperial March doorbell to the film opening with a collage of Marvel-Disney characters, yet a pile of DC comics being dumped on the table at some point.

Smart well made film. Good to watch with or without kids present. As long as you are young of mind and heart. Feel good.

The high ratings, on my part at least, are due to expectations. This is a Disney movie, and I hoped for a heart warming family flick I could enjoy with my three children, ranging in age from 10 to 17. This was just what a wanted. It's not brilliant, it's not groundbreaking, but it lovable, wholesome, lighthearted, uplifting and just plain fun.

Funny, inspiring, well written, cast and shot. And the kids were great! Matilda killed it. I just wish the third act would ambiguously turn more towards reality. I think it would resonate more. But maybe it's just the cynic in me talking.

This was a cute superpower story. The squirrel was cute and the actors like Ben schwartz were good.

With Marvel and DC comics, and Marvel references. Check it out when you can
