Alyson Hannigan on Flora Ulysses and How She Successfully Navigated Transition From Child Actor

With director Lena Khans Flora Ulysses now streaming on Disney+, I recently got to speak to Alyson Hannigan about playing Floras mom, Phyllis Buckman. If you havent seen the trailer, the fun family film is based on the Newbury Awardwinning novel Flora Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures by Kate DiCamillo and its about a selfavowed cynic and comic book fan, 10yearold Flora (Matilda Lawler), and the superhero squirrel she rescues (Ulysses). The film also stars Ben Schwartz, Anna Deavere Smith, Danny Pudi, Benjamin Evans Ainsworth, Janeane Garofolo and Kate McCucci. During the interview, Hannigan talks about working with Matilda Lawler and her fantastic performance, how she successfully navigated the transition from child actor, the Jack and Rose Titanic lamp in the movie, her craft room in her home, and if she learned any magic tricks from hosting Penn Teller: Fool Us.
