    To me, one of the biggest details about this movie is that Ballister saved Nimona from herself at the end. He didn't save her from some big bad, he stopped her from ending her own life.

    If Blue Sky Studios was still around, Nimona would’ve probably been their Spider-Verse. If you look at their cancelled projects (Mutts, Anubis, Foster, Spore, etc.), you can clearly tell that they wanted to take risks and be more experimental and creative (Just like Sony Pictures Animation and DreamWorks). I’m still mad that Disney shut down Blue Sky. Such a wasted potential.
    I'm so glad that at least Nimona got resurrected and they kept the art style. The movie was really fun.

    • @AJ-xc4qe

      I find it hilarious that Disney tried so hard to push this movie down the toilet while they already have so many projects stuck in development hell: the Darkwing Duck reboot, the threequels for National Treasure, Tron and The Princess Diaries, every Star Wars movie, the Pirates movies, the live action African princess movie, Sade, which I'm convinced they turned it into the live action Little Mermaid movie. And at the same time, this movie has gotten so much critical acclaim, Disney's neverending sabotage of their animated movies is biting them in the ass with a counting number of blox office flops! It's like poetry, it rhymes!
      Wish I would've gotten to see the movie in theaters. We don't see many queer leads in kids/family movies or animated movies on the big screen.

    The reason it feels complicated yet simple is because they compressed and changed the story a lot to fit into a movie. The comic itself has a lot more information and story, but with the production hell this movie went through, I’m just glad it came out. Maybe it’s because I haven’t read the comic in a while, but the changes weren’t severe enough that it lost the original feel of the comics

      I do like the anti-suicide message though.

      @@bungerbungerbunger246 Bro wtf are you on? It ain't my job to explain to you the legions of distinct ways your claim of "denying biology" is wrong, so nevermind that, what exactly is wrong with looking up to "non-parental adults?" Do you mean looking up to adults that aren't their parents? Because that's perfectly fine as well. Should I have spent my time looking up to a verbally and emotionally abusive father? And where is this movie teaching people to "fantasizing about gruesome death and murder?" Just the fact that it includes it? The scenes shown in the film are not too different from the Lion King, and I'd say a good number of kids watched that and lived to tell the tale. On top of that, the entire point of Nimona's attempted [UA-cam-censor friendly word here] is that it would have been a horrible tragedy, caused by the willful ignorance and unacceptance of the world around them.
      And I defy you to list your "other immoral behaviors." Your dogwhistles and outdated rhetoric aren't fooling anyone. You've immediately shown a record level of ignorance, why not go for broke. "Disney's woke arc?" _Really?_ Heaven forbid you have to face the fact that other people exist; but hey, hope you get stronger with all that pearl-clutching. And on top of that you're trying to say Disney is progressive? The company that, as you admit, tried to have this movie sidelined, that have had like 50 first gay characters (but also it isn't mentioned in the movie) as tokens to try to sell to a community desperate for any decent representation, that makes sure scenes that would show anything against a heteronormative worldview are just brief enough to edit out of releases in less progressive countries?
      Are you really going to participate in holding back the progress people have made to educate the modern world out of their ancient hatreds and bigotry? Is that really worth your time? Frankly, if it's just about finding attention, please take it to Reddit. They love their conservative echo chambers.
      Or is it just that, with so little actual problems in life, you have grown bored enough that you have to concoct a scenario in which people who are different from you finally getting the same opportunities, respect and dignity you have always had, is somehow detrimental to you? That people who ask for basic levels of respect while living their lives is some act of malice against you?
      Even if anyone's existence was supposedly "denying biology," it costs nothing to show the same respect afforded to everyone else. No one is "denying biology" either, but if you can't learn that you can at least learn a little empathy.

      Edit: haven't read any of the replies because there's always somebody telling me to super slide so clarification: the way they "react" is always the same jokes over and over again (POINTING GAY GAY GAY LOOK POINTING GAY OH MY GOSH GAY THEY'RE GAY OH MY GOD GAY OH MY GOSH GAY LOOK POINTING GAY OH MY GOSH) and the way they react always seems like they genuinely don't care or aren't paying attention in the slightest and it's annoying.
      Like can you guys quit playing these little characters and make it look like you're actually paying attention to what you're watching? They don't feel genuine and it always feels like they're just crapping on whatever they're watching. Because I genuinely don't think these guys actually enjoy what they watch. When it looks like they don't care it kind of just rubs off you know?
      The likes tell me at least one or two of you agree with me, hopefully they change up their style of content soon. No genuine hate to them because well there's no reason to actually hates them.

    Wild fact. This movie was stuck in film making hell. it was a web comic on tumblr that was contacted by Blue Sky who started making the movie, who was sold to Disney who then fired like everyone. But after some time Netflix was able to make a deal to get the movie made. It was a miracle this movie was made, and kinda explains why some parts are a bit jank.
    The credits also have a ton, and I do mean a ton of people doing various things. Including a team dedicated to Nimona specific animation/effects.
    There was also a Sweat Box team, which just look up Disney's emperor's New Groove Documentary to understand what that kinda means. Its not the best conditions to work, nor the most organized. But I'm glad they got credit and paid for their work.

Causing them to use said messaging to make the sw sequels, phase four of Marvel, Indiana Jones 5, Pixar's film's after toy story four, and so on.

    There are so many scenes in this movie that are better on a second watch, like how when she transforms into a little girl (10:19) when she sees that child, she doesn't just turn into any kid, she turns into the child version of _herself_
    This may be the first time she's ever transformed into that version of herself for over a thousand years, and the kid reacts the same way Gloreth did, which I believe is Nimona's personal lowpoint in the movie... She showed her "real" self and was rejected yet again, in almost exactly the same way no less.
    Or the scene where Ballister removes the arrow from Nimona's leg(not shown in this video)
    When he pokes the arrow her leg spurts out a little blood, but then when he fully removes the arrow, there's nothing, not even any blood on the arrow tip itself... I fully believe she was making fun of him with the blood, but when she realized he was actually trying to help her(and also may be a little traumatized by blood thanks to a certain... missing arm), she stops doing it and shuts up.
    I don't know about anyone else, but I really liked this... I started off skeptical, and there were a few points I almost turned the movie off, but once that feels started pouring in I was absolutely hooked. I need more of this... I need a second movie!(Or a TV series; but only if it looks good like the movie and doesn't pull a Dreamworks with the animation quality)

    So happy to see a UA-camr actually calling out how bad the pacing was in this. I love the movie, it’s definitely one of my favourites right now (if not just for Nimona being an icon and the entirety of what’s going on with her plot-wise being one of my Favourite Types Of Story Ever), but it feels like it’s just dragging us from scene to scene to scene right up until the 3rd act. There’s a lot of stuff that seems underdeveloped or unexplained. Like, I have no clue why Ballister switched from being so anti-destruction to supporting it from one scene to another, because Nimona and him never really had a chance to just… talk, on-screen? They never really bond past them working together and Ballister being monsterphobic. It would’ve been nice to have a scene or two of them just Chatting that’s more focused on showing who they both are as characters than pushing one of the 2 through lines of the story along (“what’s up with Nimona’s monster stuff?” and “we need to clear Ballister of murder” being the 2). Maybe a 5 or 10 minute scene right before the fight where Nimona turns into a dragon? It’d also give the movie some much-needed breathing room.

    Honestly hearing them mention red vs blue now Really makes me want to see them react to it

      Yeah in general I think this movie is better to watch alone or with a significant other, watching it with friends won't let u appreciate the emotional scenes

    8:34 Actually right at the start of the movie he's trying to warn him about it but everyone was rushing through things to get prepared and pretty much got ignored/dismissed then she arrived (the woman who changed the swords) and they headed to the ceremony to become knights so he just didn't have the time.

    I think the reason I like this movie is because of how it reflects real life oppression, and the plot shouldn't just be seen as a basic adventure plot.
    When Nimona at the end quite literally tried to end it, that shook me up, that's more than your average movie.

    I really enjoyed this movie. I was surprised you tore it apart so ruthlessly! The visuals were odd, though; my wife said it fell too within the uncanny valley for her.
