In 2012, the year before Flora and Ulysses was published, a friend and I were driving from Austin to Houston when suddenly a giant squirrel appeared on the side of the road. Squirrels had loomed large in my imagination for so long that I almost thought what I was seeing wasn’t real.
But there he was: a giant squirrel.
We turned around, of course.
I got my picture taken with him, of course.
It was a miraculous, unexpected, hilarious gift–encountering that giant squirrel.
In the same way, the movie adaptation of Flora and Ulysses (streaming on Disney+, starting this Friday) is a miraculous, unexpected, hilarious gift.
I love this movie so much.
I can’t wait to see it again.
