Matilda Lawler is the film's young star, and she had the tough task of acting opposite... nothing.

"A lot of the times there was nothing there and I had to pretend. And that was hard. But other times, there was, like, this gray-like stuffed animal, sort of. It was made of rubber and it looked like a rat but like an uglier version," said Lawler.
Alyson Hannigan plays Flora's mom, and Ben Schwartz is the young character's dad.
"I'm just kind of a kid at heart. I love these type of films and I love animated movies and TV shows," said Schwartz. "So any time I can do something that I loved as a kid, I try to do it. "
"I have two girls and their friends are excited about something that I'm in. I feel like I get an extra cred, like, with my kids, like I got up a notch, like they might love me a little more right now," said Hannigan.
Along with acting, Alyson has another passion: crafting.

"I haven't, like, let my kids craft for a while so it's real neat. Once they're in here, it's like paper everywhere!" said Hannigan.
My wife, Erin, is also a craft connoisseur.
"We need to hang out!" said Hannigan. "Come craft with me!"
