hey everyone, i noticed a lot of people are a little confused and maybe upset with my comment asking what Nimona's original form is and i really appreciate the answer to that. I realize it was dumb of me and that Nimona explains many times that they're Nimona. Not one specific being. However, Just to be clear i was asking about Nimonas original form (whether nimona was born human or not, not their gender.) But i appreciate the feedback on that question :)
Ya
people be digging to be mad at people ☠️
I like the movie but ballister is gay so 0/10
@@complexityofduality_yeah literally ☠️
I freaking loved this movie so much I did think the animation looked kinda unfinished at times for nimona but other than that I absolutely loved it the art style may be getting old but I love it every time I just love that cartoonish art style
When it comes to Nimona's "original" form, whatever it may be, I think the point is that we don't need to know it. Nimona has a lot of LGBTQ+ themes, and Nimona is where the T comes in. The important thing we need to accept about Nimona is that her identity is who she wants it to be, when she wants to be it. What her "original" form looks like doesn't matter, because the whole point of her character is that her form doesn't define her. You can especially see it in the earlier scenes where Ballistor (may have spelt that wrong) asks her to just be herself, in which he means the human girl, but Nimona gets confused/offended because she's just her, no matter what she looks like.
its not, empathizing with themes doesn't root it just by that alone, like a shapeshifter isn't intrinsic to identity talks
like how a jrpg story is finding yourself or molding self into who u need to be doesn't mean it isn't, that's just a theme anyone can understand not just a specific group
@@marcusclark1339Nimona as an allegory was in fact written with trans people in mind, but was also written in a way that many marginalized groups can relate to her pain.
@@marcusclark1339 I didn't mean to imply that the situation that Nimona is in could only apply to trans people, you're right, her struggle could identify with a lot of people who struggle with identity. I just wanted to point out that it was the intent of why they never really address an original form was intended as an allegory around trans identities. But that's the great thing about art, many people can see what they want in it because it is a topic many people can relate to.
@@marcusclark1339 shape shifting is literally THE BIGGEST trans allegory there ever was lol
Also not to mention the writer of the novel the movie is based on is a trans man
But yes its still understandable by many more than trans people (honestly any LGBTQ+ person can understand it in general)
But even I, a cishet dude was able to understand and relate to it easily
thank you, i agree and was thinking that too! i was more interested in knowing if nimona was born a human or an animal... not their gender! but i appreciate the comment :)
THE ENDING LINE WAS SO FUNNY. “HOLY SHI-“
Omg that was so funny
haha so funny omg
Finish that last part
Yep
Agree
Nimona by herself in my opinion is a really unique protagonist. Her personality is kinda cliche being the "hardened but still has a soft side" kinda deal, but they put that to its fullest extreme with her + her chaotic nature.
Also at the end, I love how her final transformation is a Phoenix. I didn't catch that in my first watching but I love that detail.
lol she's just like me
She rly did plunge the problem lile a phoenix kinda like what she said she would 💀
Phoenixes have rebirth powers so now it kinda makes sense on how she came back
She’s more like “gremlin with a bit of a serious side” in my opinion, but oh well🙃
Not Unique :/
I’d like for us to acknowledge the scene near the end where Nimona was _literally_ about to kill herself. Like, they did _not_ hold back with what they were implying. That was one of the heaviest scenes I’ve watched in a while.
I personally loved this movie, the only downside for me being the fact that (not to the fault of the film) it was passed through so many studios that it often has tonal or thematic whiplash
Definitely would have worked better as a series
Pretty sure the script was done entirely by Bluesky
The original comic has tonal whiplash, so the very real chaos you're sensing may be coming from an authentic place.
The pacing really is the only bad thing about this film. The beginning starts a bit too fast, the plot moves fast as heck in the middle to, and so the whole third act, while beautiful and well acted, feels pointless and forced.
Pretty sure the hard left turn from fun action the pain ostricization causes + overthrowing the government is set up from the beginning.
I mean, Bal is the top of his class and still it takes until the day of his knighting for people to accept him. Nimona starts dropping lines about being an outcast and tipping us off that she's insecure/in pain from near minute one
So yea, definitely intentionally written that way.
Asking what Nimona's original form was, is kind of missing the point. As she said herself, she is Nimona, nothing more and nothing less and the thing that defines her is her shapeshifting. Especially as an allegory for trans and genderfluid identity this is important, with people insisting, often even without malicious intent, to just stay within the bounds of your assigned gender at birth, much the same way that Ballister suggests that Nimona should stay in her usual girl form, as it is the one he perceives as her "original" form.
right? it's even explicitly addressed in-movie, during the train scene when Ballister asks Nimona what she is and she shuts him down for asking narrow-minded questions lol
She is all of it, the shapeshifting, the animals and the humans, and she always has been. Asking "ok but what was she /originally/?" feels a lot like people asking queer people "ok but what's in your pants?" and it really speaks of unfamiliarity with queer experiences outside the gender binary
great explanation and thank you! i was more interested in knowing if she was a human or animal when she was born, not her gender! but i totally agree with ur take :)
@@AwesomemayI think you’re still missing the point…
@@Awesomemay
It doesn't matter if her first form was a human or animal, the movie never answers this question cause plot-wise and thematically, it doesn't matter. If anything, it's implied that Nimona doesn't have a default form, though she is able to shift into things for very long periods of time.
@@Awesomemay yeah we know, but that's the allegory part lol
I think the interiors of the palace were intentionally bland and boring. To represent how they don't like anything different, they gave it a monolithic feel. While the shadier parts of town were colorful and vibrant. When Nimona started shape shifting inside the palace, the contrast between her pink colors and the bland background was brilliant.
This movie was so good, I'm glad Netflix picked it up ♡
here is my nimona review! i didnt have time to get too deep into the messages as much as id like to cuz of family coming over. SO LET ME KNOW UR THOUGHTS ON THE MESSAGES!
I loved it, but the ending caught me off guard. I liked the animation, the cast line, everything…*r.i.p. bluesky*
I love your videos!! Thank you for everything that you do❤️
Now we need a Amulet and Bone movie.
@@goplayoutside3599 rip bluesky 💔
i really liked it, as I said on your original tweet
Only real problem I had with the movie is the (not) good old 'protagonists have a falling out because of a big misunderstanding' trope, but aside from that, it's tremendously fun, moving, and also very pleasing to look at.
The only problem I had was the gay characters.

This film is truly an underdog story, it had the odds against it and still won
When I first saw the trailer, I kind of panicked because the movie's art style (particularly the large eyes) conflicted with the dark tone of the original graphic novel. But then I watched the movie and stopped panicking. The movie was really enjoyable but the book explored the "don't judge a book by its cover" theme in a infinitely more serious way.
Tbh the comic was the same way. Comic had a very kid friendly art style, very tumblr-esque but used it to tell a surprisingly dark tale. This is much the same I feel.
For me originally Nimona was the big black shadow monster that she turns into at the end when she has a breakdown, like she transforms into animals/humans in her everyday life but at the end she is so overwhelmed that she can't keep this kind of form and just goes back to her original one
I like it more as 'losing form', not 'returnung to the original'. I don't really understand the need to figure out which one's the original, I don't see it as there being one.
@@tadek1842 Yeah, that's the way I viewed that too.
I really don't get why people feel the need to figure out what her "original form" was.
Throughout the movie Nimona tells Bal or implies to him when he is asking her a simple minded question. Questions that are based around trying to feed into what he was taught in regards to monsters and people who are "evil" or questions that are just plain ignorant.
When he asks questions that are based in a genuine want to understand her, as her, she gives genuine answers.
If Bal tried asking what her "original form" was, she would surely say something that just tells him it's a stupid question to ask.
She's Nimona. Doesn't matter how long she's been Nimona, she's Nimona.
Asking about an original form is the same as asking a trans person "when did you decide you were trans? " or "what's your ACTUAL name? " It's implying that they decided to be a certain way. When they've always been such. Nimona was Nimona 1000 years ago. Who's to say she hasn't been such since she was born?
The shadow monster, as best as I can tell is queer grief and anger personified. Literally all of the suffering society had put her through for 1000 years just unleashed.
One thing I really love is how the movie never pretends like Nimona is wrong to be angry or depressed. Like, it's not her fault just the result of how everyone's treating her.
Then, she transforms into a phoenix a symbol of rebirth, wisdom and power to go tear down the corrupt system.
Simplifying complex situations for the runtime, maybe? The point is the ideas get across which is what really makes it connect imo
@@solsystem1342 Nimonas shadow form could be the personified anger of any oppressed group, not just queer folks. Though that is definitely the main allegory the film was making.
Regarding the how much was kept question: Nimona was about 75% finished when Blue Sky got shut down, and about all of it was kept when studios were swapped.
This came out on my birthday, and I was bored so I watched it and dang this was way better than I thought It’d be.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! 🎉🎉🥳
I know right? This film was fantastic. Kind of want to read the graphic novel now.
And here I am getting Sing freaking 2 for my birthday 🙄. Happy birthday 🎉
@@asia1174sing 2 was the best idk what ur saying
The issues you had with the lighting are mainly just a result of how they did the cel shading. Cel shading can be difficult to pull off, and tends to look off-putting and out of place if done poorly. Some of the indoor lighting seems to suffer as a result of this, but the fun character designs and animations make up for it.
Don’t quote me, I’m not an animator and don’t know much about the technical side of cel shading. This is just what I think happened.
I completely agree with you, the pacing is a little rushed and it's a little too overwhelmingly fast in some scenes, but I was laughing at some of the jokes and humor, if Netflix does expand on this I hope that they do it nicely and in such a way that I it doesn't feel cheap or cheesy.
Beyond that I adore the movie and have honestly watched it at least 7 times this week 😅
i liked how they did the palace indoors bc it sells the knights so well, mfs just have an office building as a stronghold
In the end, it is shown as a typical government building.
Another note thing I noticed:
If WolfWalkers was 3D, Nimonas wolf and younger model is PERFECT!
I agree young Nimona looks so much like Mebh
Some scenes had such great lighting shots it was literal eye candy.
i was sobbing at the end but then he went “HOLY SH-“
To me this is a sweet revenge to Disney for Cancel this movie. Other than that the movie is amazing,and weren't expecting another Banana Split theme with Chloe Grace Moretz starting in it.
Honestly I like that Netflix only gave it a month. I hate getting exited for a new thing only to have to wait a year *at least* (and multiple at worst TEARS OF THE KINGDOM) so having things release soon after they're revealed is just better.
Even worse, Silksong, please send some humanity to the HK community
Not trying to be snarky, but the movie answered your question about what she was originally multiple times. She's....Nimona. :D
Otherwise nice review, have a like.
From what I see her main form is a girl but her 2nd form is animals species or names are not gender I don't want to start a war but that is a fact
Indeed. It’s noticeable how she starts as an animal, and later when she shapeshifts into a little girl, she seems like she is still unfamiliar with that type of body. Also it’s interesting how many people have become attached to Nimona’s little (longhaired) girl form, but I think that’s a credit to how good are the character designers, because that form was specifically made by Nimona to be as non-threatening and affable as posible, while her more adolescent one is “I have teeth and a personality and I’m not afraid to use them”.
@@bearbro10 We have no clue what her main form was, given that she wasn't shown being human at all until she met one. Another thousand years could have occurred before she met and copied humanity.
I actually know someone who worked on the movie and he had an event at our local church (fun fact, I used to work at it). He told us a lot about the behind the scenes of working on the movie and how much the death of Blue Sky affected the movie. Personally, I loved it and thought it was perfectly written. I agree with your criticisms about the indoor animation though
I watched nimona with my mom and it was so freaking funny it needs a sequel
Dude the Nimona art style fits your character so well
I love when Awesomay’s just being a little goofy dude
Edit: I suppose that this is so true actually
this is so true actually

Felt like a really fun go at a romeo & juliet story; and really goes to great lengths to spice things up. Although, it was fairly obvious who the villain was.
Luckily, they made Nimona a bit annoying but not overtly annoying.
It’s interesting to see people seeing them as dad and daughter. Because I personally saw them as more older brother younger sister. 5:55
okay i swear at the end when nimona was so hurt that she just wanted to run a sword through her heart, i was crying so much smh
I watched the film right on the second it came out! And it hit me hard, and it was moving me very hard, and I'm glad this movie was made. But, if you want to know, yes, it is still the same film, same storyline Blue Sky made. DNEG reanimated the movie, but the scenes they made got into the film, and what you see is the exact same art style Blue Sky was going for. And for the character models and designs, they are the same ones from Blue Sky. They were unchanged, they were still same ones when they left Blue Sky
I loved the film and have already watched it twice. The chemistry between the characters and the characters themselves were the best part of the film.
Opinion: I saw elemental and absolutely loved it! I’m so sad it flopped, cuz it was well done. No it wasn’t perfect, and there were some issues, but overall, I really enjoyed it, so I’d highly recommend it, either just to watch or as a video :]
Bruh this is Nimona 💀
I know! Although it isn’t as amazing as Nimona (cried like a baby watching it, 11/10), I genuinely enjoyed Elemental and am kinda disappointed most hated it (probably because I resonated with the immigration story and found the romance plot wholesome).
@@soniahernandez8902 I know lol, he mentioned how elementals flopped during the video and I wanted to recommend it anyways!
Elemental was pretty good. Definitely one of the best modern Pixar movies.
I also watched Dreamworks’ Ruby Gillman and i enjoyed that too 👍
I watched nimona and I loved it so much it was amazing! I liked the backstory of nimona because it was very unexpected!
Watching Nimona on the day it was released at 10 in the morning made my day and this was peak
RIP Blue Sky
Your Nimona’d avatar in the thumbnail is so cool. Can someone make a photo or video filter with the Nimona style? I wanna see more stuff in that looks like that.✨-✨
Cool idea!
Just noticed but the style is kinda like a 3D version of the Cartoon Saloon style especially if you look at their eyes (aka the company who made Song of the Sea and Wolfwalkers plus their newest movie My Father’s Dragon) which is based on old Celtic art. I thought I would just throw that out there. :D
my biggest flex is that i was watching this with a friend and she told me that I act exactly like nimona
I have to say that as a queer teen this movie really was everything we need for representation. The kiss at the end was perfect because it wasn’t over dramatic, it was casual it, was and I thought that was wonderful. The love story reminded me of Catra and Adora and only after did I realize that ND Stevenson (creator of graphic novel) worked on the She-Ra reboot. One thing I haven’t really heard anyone talk about was the fact that Nimona slightly touches on su!c!de in the film and that scene felt SO real to me and actually made me sob 😅. This movie was a masterpiece and EVERYONE needs to see this. Thank you SO, SO, SO much for reviewing this movie, you always make your videos so entertaining to watch and I’m glad someone is promoting the movie in such a positive way! 🏳🌈✨💜
Yeah, the representation in this film was fantastic.The best thing about the rep in this movie was how causal it was. I loved that.
Yeah im about to start a fire and I know it but lgbtq people if they are in a deadly environment that if people found out thier gay they could be killed they usually mess up when it's so easy not to theyneed to learn to keep quiet so they don't get killed or they don't get bullied to the point where there killed and they also need to stop making their sexuality thier whole personality to the Point they don't feel like thier expressing themselves
I think Nimona was originally a forest spirit or energy and was just adapting to her surroundings. In her backstory, much of the land was unsettled, so she took more animal forms to fit her surroundings. But in the present of the film, there are more humans, which is why she took on a human form.
Essentially, I think it is symbolic of her trying to find her place in the world; eventually finding that she doesn't need to settle on one appearance because every form she takes is an extension of herself and a part of who she is.
I cried 3 times watching this movie. I'm going to adopt 🤟"Metal" 🤟 into my vocabulary.
I love the "magical hyperactive funny character" trope. A trope i will now call betelgenimonia. One of my favourite of these guys is betelgeuse, because hes a perfect combination of betelgenimonia and dealmaker demon. Those characters are great because they're both a great source of comedy AND crucial to the plot.
“Was she an animal or a human what was she originally” she Nimona 💅🏻✨
I no facts don't care about feelings but to me it seems like her main form is a girl 2nd form is animals and 3 is other humans
The best thumbnail yet
I originally read the book and then found out they were making the movie but that was in 2018ish, I waited so long for this movie and was so excited to hear it was coming back from the dead, Nimona is one of my favorite stories and I’m really happy the movie turned out as good as it was :)
Bro we need so much more from this movie like a DVD or Theater Release!!!! When they got the directors confession to go viral I thought it was the end of the movie.
Nimona Kinda Hot TBH
i loved ur content so much, i was so excited when i saw this video on my recommended. i was waiting for this video since the movie came out!
Goated movie
yes
10:26 I theorized in another reactor’s video on this movie that Nimona when she took her “final” form in the climax as a “phoenix” stopping the director’s gun, she’s in essence a being of light / as in able to change her look & manipulate light into mass to feel “real”. She might’ve started out taking shapes of animals to find a place of belonging, but it might’ve been when she met Gloreth in the past she finally took a form of a human, one that looks like a child to appear disarming.
Fast forward to Nimona having trauma ✨, Nimona didn’t want to leave the kingdom but she has to stay disguised but she can’t go back to her first human form she made cuz again, trauma ✨. So she made another form that she has creative liberties with; a punk teenager that lets her express her anger onto the kingdom without killing anybody & it’s one she made that wasn’t deemed as “acceptable” to humans without startlingly them with her sudden shape-shifting.
Is it implied that she doesn't kill people?
I don't remember them saying that
@@jaydeejay4166 ok I might’ve been wrong in my assumption that Nimona having a legit mean bone in her in actually killing someone, she says about it a lot but she doesn’t actually mean it. And it’s prolly thru this punk TEEN form she currently takes on allows her to express her anger & frustration but never having the nerve to kill someone when it didn’t exist in the first place. Sure she got hurt, BADLY, before & in the movie’s present but she never went out of her way to kill someone unlike the director 😤
I am a day late, but man, this movie was awesome. Nimona is so freaking good. I am so glad it is no longer canceled. I loved the characters and those visuals too. And the comedy. Oh boy. You got no idea how many times I laughed at many parts
thats great to hear! love seeing ur comments :)
I just got this video on my recommendations, didn’t even watch it though. Later I was scrolling through Netflix when I remembered this. Thank Titan I did, because Nimona not only my new favorite movie, it was my dream for SOMEBODY to FINALLY make a movie like this. Funny but also very serious, set in another place and time but is unbelievably relatable, the good inclusion of LGBTQ+, just the right kind of violent, and not afraid to keep the “children’s” version of it. And the animation, my gosh! Like you said, we really needed a movie like this! So i really need to thank you a LOT, because Nimona is just the most amazing thing ever, thank you for making this video!❤
im so glad i did :) thanks for the kind words and im glad u liked the movie
Me and my friends were just rambling abt it in our GC. The rest of our friends were SO confused. I've watched the movie 3 times now and I don't regret it
It was 75% completed in the original bluesky version
i love when hes drawn in the style of the animation hes reviewing it makes me so happy for some reason
I have waited for this so godamm long for this!
To anyone who knows someone who hasn't seen this movie, it's the kind of gender queer/trans/anarchist/down-with-the-institution message that all kids need to hear! So frickin cool
Aduilts too honestly
What is wrong with u
Just don't let small children watch it though
@@bearbro10 it's a kids movie..
@bareq99 yeah but the homosexual relationships are inappropriate for them
The art style of this movie feels like it would work perfectly for a possible splatoon movie in the future!🍿🎥
I am in love with the chaotic vibe of this movie. So happy this movie came out because it really inspired me
I watch Netflix every once in a while but hearing May talk about it makes me want to watch it. Thank you May and keep up the good work.
this movie had some of the best voice acting ive seen in a LONG time. kudos to all the actors but heavy on riz and chloe. loved them to death ToT
I still wish it was released in theaters but other then that it was awesome and a great way to end Blue Sky Studios
2:38 I actually just came off watching Marvel Rising earlier this week which has a similar plot line where Spider Gwen/Ghost Spider gets wrongfully accused of her friend’s death & now must catch the real killer to prove her innocence. I wasn’t expecting this same plot to pop up in the other animated project I was planning on watching. Thanks for the review on this though because I was debating watching it.
nimona was fricking amazing I saw it coming on the worth the wait page and immediately thought "this is gonna be amazing"
Bluesky: oh crap we might die soon
Dreamworks: **brings in the death wolf from puss in boots**
Bluesky: **hears the whistle**
Bluesky: shi-
Netflix: aight we are here to remember bluesky animation, LETS TAKE THEIR MOVIE **everyone cheers**
i loved this movie. it’s perfect. down to the smallest, minute detail. perfect.
Nice video. I never hear about nimona.
i loved this movie but nimona almost killing herself had me pause the movie and tbh triggered me a little. and that blood curling scream at the end gave me goosebumps. and ballisters ‘ i see you’ was just perfect.
Netflix destroyed Disney
they still both suck
This was almost owned by Disney
Personally this dude is so great for binging, in a great way.
thats so great, i try to make videos that can be bingeable!
This film is so good, it's already my fav movie of the 2020s decade!!
I didn’t wanna watch this movie, though the second I saw one of those over the top edits, I decided to watch it and I don’t l regret it.
Every scene either had me dying laughing or in complete utter shock OR sadness. This was like a giant, dark, indoor roller coaster. You don’t know what’s gonna happen next, but your exited to know what will happen next
I feel bad for this movie bc it most likely will not win a Oscar because of Spider-Man across the spider verse
Personally I thought it was just alright, I like it! The characters were really fun and expressive, and I loved how the main two bounced off each other really well! But I don't know me and my brother got kinda lost by the third act and were just waiting for the movie to end 😭
Does your life not normally feel like it's bouncing around and chaotic to that speed? /jk
I definitely vibe with the pace though it just feels like rambling about story ideas with my ND friends and that vibe is wonderful and something we don't see a lot.
Some of the scenes are just beautiful and so flowy I love it
I love they way that we get no clear answer on the origins of Nimona. All we know are her motivations but never do we understand where they came from, because we don't need too. She could've been a human girl who got shapeshifting abilities from a well, but the scene in the train was an allegory for her meeting Gloreth and throwing the rock into a smaller well instead of a gold coin into the actual well, because her wish was to get a friend. She could've been a dragon who was the only one left of it's kind. We don't know and that makes it better.
My only real issue with Nimona is that the third act feel so horribly rushed, and the third act break up felt so horribly out of character for Bal that it destroyed any semblance of care I had for the story. The first two acts are amazing, I love the chemistry Nimona and Bal have and Nimona is an amazing character, plus the story set up is perfect. But the phrase "an ending can kill a movie" is so ungodly true here. Everything feels like it happens at once and wraps up far too quickly for any emotional payoff. Had this movie been say 30-40 minutes longer (which it very easily could have been) to help with the climax being, actually climactic and gave more time to the emotional weight of the ending of the movie, as well as getting rid of that stupid third act break-up, It would have been perfect
No.
@@lobogryz8501 WDYM, no?
My reaction is the exact opposite. While the ending did feel rushed, I remember the 3rd act more because it was more mature and heartfelt than the rest of the movie.
Esp when Nimona tries to unalive herself with a spear
I actually love this movie so much. I love Nimona’s chaotic good personality, the style is awesome, the story, the representation… amazing. I’m definitely gonna read the graphic novel.
Love the videos, man. Keep it up!!!
Glad you like them!
Wokest movie I’ve ever seen

*gasp* Gay people exist!
I'm not usually one to cry in movies but damn Nimona got me hard only one other movie has taken me to my dark place and that was drifting home
Nimona was a lot of fun to watch. Thanks for reviewing.
This movie was SO INSANELY GOOD, I just wish there was moreee
I watched the trailer and was hyped and I couldn’t have been more happy how it turned out
I watched Nimona 6 times already 👁️👄👁️
THEY REALLY SHOULD CONSIDER MAKING MORE OF SUCH BANGERS!!!
Yo Awesomay sick art a the beginning! Great review lad!
actually just watched it and thanking the heavens that Nimona May has uploaded a video
Ok this is random but as soon as the queen was on stage I immediately realised that she was voiced by the same person that voiced shadow weaver
I think Nimona's original form is the one we see in her flashback, and the one we see mostly in the movie is also her original just older
or maybe the last monster form thing towards the end
This movie means the absolute world to me, I watched it in the middle of holding a lot in, and it was just like a wave that hit me so hard I just adore it and could talk about it forever
Haha you had Nimona face at intro:] I watched it ye ! Amazing!
I’m actually planning on watching this soon with my mom and sister so I have my hopes high!
This movie had me bawl like a baby and I don’t know if I could ever find another movie that hit home like Nimona
I haven’t seen anyone talking about this and I need to tell people this but if you need a reason to rewatch Nimona pay attention the the shape of the reflection in each characters eyes it tells a lot about each characters current ideals and status examples are the director and the knights at times have a rhombus which is also the symbol of the institute and it’s also everywhere Nimona has a shape that’s the same shape as her eyes in her “monster” form and the only other person who had that reflection symbol was little gloreth but it changes to the rhombus when she says “go back to the shadows from whence you came” and when phoenix Nimona flies across the kingdom her light reflects in the peoples eyes and replaces their previous shape another detail is that those same symbols appear in light reflections on the screen depending on the part of the movie I could go on for hours about all the details I’ve found in this movie I’ve rewatched it 4 times no I am not ok
I really enjoyed this movie so much!!! It was so awesome!!! You know what else is awesome awesomemay posted!!!✨✨✨✨
I watched this movie, I thought it was gonna be so goofy and funny, Nimona was the best character in animated history, until the ending, which got me absolute crying, it was the best movie like ever, it is on the same level as across the spiderverse
When it comes to the animation in this movie, it reminds me most of Dreamworks "Bad Guys" more than anything else. Specifically the character designs, their expressions, and movements. Not to mention the fast paced, quippy style of the action scenes and non-action scenes that really makes the characters pop and perfectly reflects Nimonas personality! I will admit there were a couple short frames that looked a little- jarring? I don't really know how to describe it, there were just a couple short frames that looked kind of off to me. But those moments were few and far between.
I didn't really mind the fast pacing of the story because it stayed engaging throughout without feeling like it was going by too fast, and like I said, it compliments Nimonas personality and the action well. Though everything after Nimona turning into a (ironically because this film is all about confronting prejudice and demonization towards people groups) monster of darkness felt oddly rushed to me. Like the finale came and then it was just- gone. And like I said, I didn't mind the fast pace prior to the finale, but the last 10ish minutes went by way too quickly in my opinion. But that's really my only major issue with the film. Overall, 8.5 out of 10. Really charming and exciting film with a couple minor flaws, but would fully recommend it to anyone!
I coincidentally saw nimona before watching this video and it is SO good
I love this movie I cried at the end hahahah, the two main character relationship was so cute :)
