Nimona Almost NEVER EXISTED

- Netflix's new Nimona, the spawn of ND Stevenson. Same person that made She-Ra. This movie had a turbulent history and exchanged hands. This movie was attempted back in 2015 and everything fell through. What happened, and why did it take them so long to finish this movie?

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 👍
Honestly, this is Blue Sky's magnum opus, despite the studio is dead. But at least the spirit lives on.
@@pennysanchez7656 That's such a nice way to think about it.
To add little salt to the wound not only did Disney end blue sky they salvaged the wrong stuff. They made ice age 6 which was worse than 5 and have plans of making Rio 3 which will probably be worse than Rio 2. I’m happy Nimona got to be adapted with out the meddling of Disney.
It's good that it exists I enjoyed watching it was a real fun movie to watch .
i loved it, it didnt need to look fancy
Nimona is the type of movie where you have to get rid of all your knowledge of the book and the movies great. The graphic novel’s plot got completely thrown out the window 😔😔😔😔
I can’t believe they made her skinny Goldenloin masc like wtf
Or if you're like, just never read the book.
@@LoveisStoredInTheLain she isn't that skinny
I'm just devistated they got rid of ma boys pretty golden locks for that horrible kpop haircut;_;
@@till5871if they didn’t he’d look too similar to Prince Charming from shrek
Always remember kids: "cutting of arms is not a love language"
💀: it is for people who are into torso fedish
Guro
tell that to raine and eda
What do you mean it's not!!?
horse: this is not what love look like
While I agree Nimona did a superb job discussing gender-fluidity, I also felt like it discussed how modern society still hold fear of the "unknown", decades old fears of something they were taught to fear. It showed how biases and taught bigotry still permeates today. I adored the hell out of this film, I feel like this movie needs to be seen by everyone in 2023.
Also I love the gremlin child, made me appreciate her so much more.
I feel like I missed something because I keep hearing people talking about gender fluid but I didn't even pick up on that
@@ratha8799 I think this is about her shapeshifting and if she doesn't she won't die but she won't be living. And that scene "And now you are a boy" "Today I am".
@@ratha8799okay more than once ballister tells nimona to "just be a girl" and how "that would be easier"
She was just born this way with no magical well involved but its still seen as something that needs an explanation
More then once she doesnt like to just be called a girl and wants to be recognized by her name instead
Also the whole shape shifting and how she cant feel alive in her current form if she cant change felt too real lol
@@miigi-p4939 okay see I'm don't care enough about pronouns to pick up on that stuff so it went over my head completely
As an autist, I agree with you.
Nimona being a kid also kind of shows how corrupt the system is when even kids are in danger yet the people in power make excuses they care about kids when in reality they don’t
She’s over 1000 years old?
@@Gunnr7she still has a kid's mind and body. I know 1000 year old lolies in anime kind of fogged this up but she still counts as a child.
@@bluebird7392nahhh lmao
So she's basically a loli.
@@keyscored3710 if she sounds like a kid, acts like a kid, and behaves like a kid, she is a kid. remember she is not human, a thousand years for her could be the equivalent of one year for you.
Nimona isn’t a perfect adaptation, but it is the first movie that feels tailor-made for me. The representation of the gender-fluid experience was scarily realistic, but conveyed so thoughtfully and empathetically. Thanks for covering the movie :)
Actually it's a superior adaption.
The original kinda sucked.
Gender fluid? Gosh
I'm glad this movie could help you
@@librathebeautifulwarmonk1283 Jesus Christ smh
Aye good for you pal glad the movie helped ya!
Nimona and Bal have that "father daughter energy" and I love it sm
The film felt refreshing and I really do appreciate it
This was essentially my favorite part of the movie, and it was fun to watch through and through ^w^

Nah platonic best friends for me only.
Yes, I loved this too. ❤
7:30 Keep in mind Ballister still had to fight his own biases that he grew up with. He was just starting to accept Nimona's shapeshifting and the whole concept that magic is okay. He also had to process that everyone he grew up with never liked him and wanted him gone from the start. When he sees that one person who he cares about deeply believes in him, it's going to weigh a lot more than trusting someone he just met and also confirms his misdirected prejudice.
Bal's cornerstone belief has always been that Knights slay monsters to protect the kingdom. Logic tends to fall by the wayside when presented with even a flimsy excuse to reinforce that belief. Getting rid of such a foundation means you have to question the entire existence of the universe that has been built around you. Not everyone has the mental fortitude to do that. Not everyone WANTS to do that. Sometimes you just want to take the blue pill to make the story end so you can wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe.
I really like the read that Nimona's 'sacrifice' wasn't actually a sacrifice - she didn't become some random bird to take out the canon, she became a big ol' flaming phoenix and was subsequently reborn from the ashes. She wanted to keep living and made a choice that ensured that she could because she's a magical badass
The scene where she's describing how it feels to not shapeshift for a long time really hit me. It's the scaringly close to how I (gender fluid) feel on days where my internal gender isn't the same as my outside one. It's like an itch under your skin, like if you'd try flexing and stretching hard enough, you could rip off your skin and emerge as you truly are inside. I truly mourn the fact my body cannot do what nimona's can.... I'd give almost anything to be able to do that... And to be able to gift it to others...
uu
This gay crap is confusing kids more.. I had to turn this off cos my kids was watching it.. hell no u can't change your body because u feel like u different.. u are not sir
I watched this movie with my brother. We are both queer and come from a very Catholic family and so the struggles that Ballister and Nimona were going through really hit close to home. From Ballister's realization that his world view and institutions he put his trust in were wrong and this causes a rift between him and person he cared the most about, to Nimona's pain, night terrors and depression made us both tear up.
Honestly yeah the whole movie I just kept thinking about how the plot could be read as a massive allegory to how trans people are treated in society, and as an NB person, damn did that get me.
Really enjoying the themes ATSV and Nimona (Del Toro's Pinocchio too tbh) presented between police/authority and parents. I love how hard the 'good' parents try to empathize and understand their kids, authoritarianism only leading to harmful outcomes, and how this is further presented in broader society with like Miles and Gwen's dad being police and the same goes for Ballister. I think Nimonas statement on authority and the queer allegory came through a lot more than ATSV. Not the ATSV did it wrong, but I love how LOUD Nimona was about it.
ATSV had a queer allegory?! I did n't even realize that.
@nuotatorre8741 yup! Gwen has a trans flag in her room and when she reconnects with her dad the stylized color scheme was blue, pink, and white. While it felt nice to pick up on it and not my parent who would of immediately started raising question, Nimona was such a fresh piece of representation
@@kyarikatari1225 LOL I didn't even raized that. But I don't know if it realy counts as a trans allegory in this specific contex. I meen considering Guen's apperence it's pretty clear she has already transiotioned so her father wasn't against that, her conflict with him seems to have a more broader reach than just the LGBTQ+ message
@nuotatorre8741 oh absolutely man!! I think it's nice to see that their conflict derives from stuff outside of her gender identity. It's just a different flavor of representation of someone already accepted and their identity not being the focus where with Nimona it's the polar opposite where her identity is forefront and unfortunately challenged on. It's interesting to see how different styles of representation can shape the allegory that can be interpreted from them! (Sorry for big comment hahah)
@@kyarikatari1225 Nah don't worry I've writen wall of tex twice as long as yours 😂
This movie made me SOB, and it is so awesome to see that netflix is letting artists, ya know... make their art
This story hit me most because of the implied father/child bond that Nimona and Bal start to develop. He got introduced to this child, who he didnt really understand, but understood that he kinda had to. So in taking the time to do so, he sees past stigmas and sees Nimona for the person they are.
Yea, the message of this whole movie is pretty damn obvious when you look at the whole thing
Made you sob?
@@yeah_yeahwhatever cry to an extreme degree
When I tell you i was BAWLING my eyes out at the end of Nimona's rampage, when ballister said: "I see you Nimona, and you're not alone"
I cried until after the credits were done playing I love this movie sm
I remember reading the book back when I was 10, and after hearing blue skies shut down and Disney wouldn't be taking on the movie I was heartbroken. I got to see the premier with my mom and friend and I absolutely loved it!
I interpreted Nimona's situation to be an allegory for neurodivergence, the description of Nimona's need to transform reminds me of my neurological tics or stimming, where sure it can be held in and you wont literally die but it will be exhausting and painful.
I think the part with Bal showing Nimona the paper was actually alright. While we do get those sort of confrontations a lot in media, it hit differently for me. I took it as someone who had grown up in a world that taught him one thing only having his moment of doubt. Like a devout Christian who all his life had been told that certain people were evil, only to meet someone who isn't from that group... They would have doubts on the things they are told by anyone including the new people they met. But I think where this part shines is that Bal stops Nimona from killing herself, tells her sorry, actually shows he does care afterwards. People are going to have fights, they are going to hurt each other especially when its something they still can't fully understand or are taught a different way, but its what we do after that that shows what kind of person we are. He was able to say he was wrong and mean it... that sadly does not happen often.
I know I probably didn't explain this very well and I know it may sound a bit stupid with how I wrote this, but those few scenes did speak to me a bit because I feel like I have been in Nimona's shoes at times with my own mental problems. I have fought with people, and felt like the world would be better off without me after those fights. The good friends that I have are the ones who, like Bal, came after me to apologize when they were wrong or actually decided to talk to me with a decent conversation about why we had the fight.
Fun fact: I wrote an essay analysing Nimona and the many different themes for my literature class in college. I absolutely adore this comic, so I have two different books, one perfectly kept intact, the other very well loved and full of my notes for the essay.
Anyways, I'm so excited the animation is finally out! I've been waiting for it since we first got the news that it was in production! 😁
Watching this with a friend we could not help but keep referencing how the CIA has literally staged terrorist attacks against their own people to justify their own war on terror, just to make the events of the movie feel more real.
Operation Northwoods moment, they even planned sinking boats filled with Cuban refugees. Funny thing about that is the Soviet Union and Cuba knew about it for years and the United States kept denying it.
Source?
@@scarletempress2652 Anyone who knows about Latin America's history during the 20th century.
I will start, they promoted a coup against a democratically elected government in my country (Brazil) in 1964.
They did the same thing in Chile, Argentina and many others.
@@reig_mago Cool, I believe that but it’s also completely irrelevant to my question. I want to know if there’s any evidence at all that the CIA has ‘staged terrorist attacks against their own people’.
@@reig_mago And they never stopped. Like how they installed their own puppet leader in Ukraine and is weaving this narrative of how the US has to support them when they and NATO contributed to them being attacked in the first place.
I almost cried with this movie, when nimona was literally about to kill herself my eyes were flooded. not only the whole identity & acceptance stuff but also the "prroblems within the system" message also shown really well.
A bit unrelated but i was watching this movie w/ my mom & step dad and even with the movies message glued in our faces my step dad still audibly scoffed at Bal's kiss scene and it saddens me that even with all the effort put into these pieces of media there will still be people who choose to be like that
I would like to also add that they also use a reversal of classic light / dark shorthand for story telling! Our actual hero’s often are found in the dark or in Bal’s case literally wearing black. Versus the director wearing all white/ being in an all white room when she finally comes to power. She believes she is light and good when in reality girl is fuckin evil. I love this movie ❤️❤️❤️
I prefer the graphic novel but my son watched this on repeat all weekend and it's damn good. Great acting (especially by Riz and Chloe), great message, my only real problem was the pacing after they got the confession seemed off. I'm so happy this movie was able to see the light of day after such a troubled production
I'm so glad that this movie was able to come out and I can't wait to have time to sit down and watch it, I read the original comic years ago and am so happy ND was able to see the adaptation come to fruition
Man, I remember back when I read Nimona as a webcomic. The way I was so surprised that Nimona was getting animated but then Disney happened.
To play Devil’s Advocate, I say Ballister confronting Nimona about her past was a very human mistake. At that point, Ballister was betrayed by the Institute, the director, his boyfriend, basically everything he was taught to uphold and the very last thing he wants is for Nimona to possibly betray him.
Ballister was paranoid, scared and that’s a feeling alot of folks have when they feel as if everyone is out to get them even blinding them to seeing the close friends they made along the way.
It would've been a crime if this movie was left unfinished. It's still kinda sad BlueSky wasn't allowed to release it and prove they were also a studio capable of great art.
When Nimona remembers Gorleth pointing the wooden sword at her, it hits you like a truck why she was so triggered by the other child who did the same. In that regard idk if may be the marketing could've hinted a bit about the great dramatic development this movie has, and not selling it as just a spunky rebel teen movie.
Nimona is a film that balances action, humor, suspense and emotion well, I hope it gets (at least) a nomination for the Oscar's 2024; overall, it's a 10 out of 10 movie for me. 🥰
METAL!!!!!!! ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
I remember i read Nimona and how it had such a bittersweet ending to teen me. But I really got smiley and teary, even tho I knew the outcome. How they build the beautiful friendship between Ballister and Nimona was a fun time and joy to see so greatly animated✨
Back then to me’ nimona (spoilers of book) felt like an nonbinary entity that could literally transform their Cells no matter if they took a blood tissue sample of her.
I remember feeling that pretty metal and was intense for me to comprehend due to being a soft dummy back then, but that it really clicked in my head the idea of it. That I understand better today. She is not a girl, nor a rhino or a bear. As said, She Is Nimona 💕✨🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
i liked the movie a lot -- they definitely changed the story a lot from the comic, made it a bit more kid-friendly and simplified, but it was still done well and with lots of heart. I especially appreciated the emphasis on how the same stories can told in different ways to manipulate people's interpretations with an agenda in mind.
take the ancient scroll for example. the director poses the illustration (an army fighting a fierce dragon with a girl at its center) as a monster hiding behind the facade of an innocent girl. however, you could also look at it to mean that the girl is the true self, and the dragon is just the skin it dons to protect itself, which seems to be closer to the truth of the event. it all comes down to presentation
I still love the last line of the film
Holy sh- ... Rolls credits
It’s great how even if it deviates a bit from the comic, it still manages to hold on to its themes and tell a wonderful story
I expected Gloreth to have been a reluctant figurehead and that history had made her into this person who feared the monsters outside, but no. She legit just heel turned on Nimona when she saw her village attack her for being different. (Also unrelated, but I love the little hint at the beginning of the flashback of who Nimona's friend is, when she goes WHOO just like Ambrosius does).
Finished it this morning, broke my heart, but an amazing movie!
Really glad to know Blue Sky’s last project got to see the light of day.
Nimona is awesome as a genderfae, genderfluid person this story spoke to me first watch through and I only watched it again to properly parse the famous voices I didn't twig at the start of the movie ie rupaul being the male newsanchor, Eugene Lee Yang being Ambrosious and ND Stevenson themself being kwispy
Can I ask what Genderfae is? I've never heard of it before
uu
@@librathebeautifulwarmonk1283 sure it's like a sub group of genderfluid and basically it means that a person is fluid between feminine or neutral genders but never masculine
@@nail-art-diversity Interesting
I really connected with Nimona. I have felt ostracized because I don't fit into other people's molds of how I should look and behave. People always have opinions on what I should look like. I am also nonbinary, and I'm mostly open about it. When she was going to commit suicide, I understood why and sobbed.
i cried like 5 times after watching this film lmao (that end bit with Nimona getting overwhelmed and turning into a monster and trying to kill herself… i have felt that exact emotion before and the way it was done either completely destroyed me, healed me more than i thought was possible, or both)
*We must watch this movie again and again and again! All day! Every day!*
Already watched it twice and I love the story, and Nimona is so relatable for me it's not LGBTQ related but I did suffer debilitating panic attack as a child and young teen and I was pretty much ostracised by everyone except my parents so since then I've always had trouble fitting in and bonding socially...but luckily just like Nimona I met someone who had similar issues someone who understood me and thanks to them I managed to overcome most of my issues and now I'm enjoying life pretty much normally....to make long story short Nimona is awesome
This movie was so raw and bold and real
Truely the most blue sky movie that ever blue skyd longside robots
Rip blue sky you were a real one
I started bawling my eyes out when Nimona started talking about how ppl saw her as a monster and stuff (the suicidal part) I felt seen??? In a weird way…? And I love Bal and Nimona’s dynamic :D and I found my self laughing at a couple jokes
One of the best animation movies out there. The world was so inspiring and interesting as a concept, the representation, the poetry of certain scenes and shots, the message, the representation and gosh darn nemona themselves are so fun to watch ! The last time I felt such an emotional connection with an animated movie like this was with Icare (2022)
My personal favorite webcomic is the Glass Scientists. The creator worked on the Owl House and other Disney cartoons. But it has the most in common with the Owl House in particular. It is a queer retelling of Jekyll and Hyde mixed with Frankenstein and Moreau. It is amazing and I highly recommend it.
How was this not on my radar? thanks for the recommendation!
Where can I read the glass scientists? :3
@@Her0.R0man It has an official website.
I Just finished the TGS volume and I’m excited to see what’s coming up. I’ve got plans to read Nevermore as well now that I’ve discovered TGS and it’s reignited my passion for literature
The thing about the movie is that its such a good start with making more "popular representation." Movies doing more and different art styles is such a fun thing to see! AAA it was super exciting.
How is everyone saying that the netflix adaption was not good??? I never read the book but i was completely stunned by how amazing and breathtaking it was!!! The humor was on point and it was beautiful &emotional
I love nimona so muchhhh im so glad you made a vid about this!! I haven't seen the movie yet but was obsessed w the novel when I was younger- super excited to watch it!!
the movie isn’t a 1 to 1 adaptation, but as long as you keep that in mind it’s an amazing story
This movie immediately became one of my new favorites ❤❤. I can relate To both main characters so much and I am so gonna rewatch it over and over again
Just finished the movie and absolutely had to see some reviews and landed on this one first. I'm a straight man in their 30's and I don't think I've ever laughed AND cried so many times at different points in a film for so long. It was beautiful, everything about it was amazing except of course the whole Bal turning on Nimona so easily regardless of their experiences together... which hey, there's always that in a movie lol But it redeemed itself quickly and just wow, I'm legit about to watch it again lol
Can't wait for a MoistMeter on this
Nimona honestly stuck a chord with me personally… I had never felt so- seen. I was someone who was alone when I was younger because I was bullied. I don’t even know why I was bullied but… they did it anyway. Nimona, the film honestly made me cry. It’s become one of my favorite films of this year.❤ I know it’s not perfect, but I love it for that
I didn’t expect to but I ended up ugly crying while watching this movie
I felt like Nimona was meant to represent adhd or Austim. She's the person who doesn't mask who she is. I got the whole thing of "she different and different is bad". People don't like her because of that and want her to leave.
At least that's how I saw it but I can definitely see the gender fluid side of this too
shes canon genderfluid
Spoilers
My one problem with Nimona is the end. I really hate fake out deaths but even if it wasn't a fake out I hate that everyone comes to accept and love her AFTER she is dead. I find it really fucked up like no one should have to die to be recognized as another PERSON
This is my first time hearing about Nimona, and now I really want to watch it.
Nimona was really fun as a movie glad it was brought back
Wow, I watched "Nimona" today and then I see your video! Best combo everrr! I love "Nimona"
Samee
I remember when Nimona was still publishing online. Pretty sure I found it (and possibly read it) on Tumblr. Had no clue Netflix decided to grab it and make and adaptation. Bummer to hear it is entirely different than the original, but if it still has the vibe? I'll give it a shot.
this was such a good movie man i love the characters and animation sm
Something that I missed first time around is that Gloreth was never a warrior! She was just some kid who didn’t know any better!
I thought “oh, I guess Gloreth battles Nimona when she’s older.” But no! I don’t think they ever fought! People took the scene of Gloreth as a kid telling Nimona to leave out of context, made her into some legendary knight, and started a whole faith out of it!
I did a double take once I made the connection. The ideals of their society were founded on a tale blown entirely out of proportion
Honestly, Nimona is one of the best movies we've had in years. Especially in this day and age, this is relatable for many teens and more. Not only that, the animation all around is absolutely astounding, and the message behind it all makes itself distinguished within the whole thing.
The only reason this is currently number 10 on the top 10 on Netflix, is because its *10/10*
AND 10/10 also = 1, so really, it's actually Number 1 anyway. Total win/win.
I've been a fan of Nimona since middle school whenI found it in my teacher's library, it's always held a special place in my heart.
When I found out about the movie, I got majorly excited and honestly, the changes that they made didn't take away from the characters or story. Sure, I miss Goldenloin's beautiful flowing hair, but by making him more masc, they made a visual representation of a guy who is very obviously *a guy* with another guy. No bullshit censorship on the relationship being gay by people denying it with Goldenloin looking "feminine".
I wish they made Nimona a bit more thick like they did in the comics, but I think her body was perfectly fine for how it was in the movie. I like how the struggles were portrayed and the inclining mental state they were all put in.
Nimona being a feral child and being adopted by Blackheart was always gonna happen and I love their relationships.
The dialogue was on point, Nimona's shark teeth were wonderful and the dynamics with all of the characters were great. They definitely shifted the story to fit the time slot for the movie, but it was a good adaptation. Despite the changes, it was good.
I really like it. Because nimona is 1000 years old of THIS events. She KNOW VERY WELL what is the problem.
Also the sad parts hit very hard when I concluded that she is kind of a empathic kind of entity that really wants to become part of a society and fell really sad about rejection. Damn what a good movie.
I also love how we don’t know why she can shape shift either she just does and at first I was like how did she get her powers but we never get that and Ballister asks her that too but Nimona says multiple times that she’s just Nimona, which is so powerful because people don’t need to be asked why they are- for example lgbtq+ or antisocial they just ARE and at the end of the movie I cried because I didn’t want to know how she got her abilities because I liked her the way she was regardless of how or why she was the way she was and I hope people watch this movie and realize that too. I also love that the team took the risk of referencing suicide, that’s hard and you have to be careful with that, but the movie did it perfectly, and I love they included a hotline number at the end of the credits for anyone struggling. There are so many layers to this movie and I hope that everyone can see this movie, even with not reading a single book and thinking from the teaser realized awhile back that this was just gonna be a basic movie I was twisted and turned in a million ways I would and will definitely watch again as doing that will give you a different perspective and will make you see all the little details throughout the movie that foreshadowed and gave you hints about the characters and the story. I also loved Ballisters and Nimonas growing bond it was so heartfelt and at the end I just wanted more of Ballister and Nimona because they were just built so good. Nimonas snarky remarks and jokes I just loved, it wasn’t too much even though I’ve heard some people say it was but it was great and I loved Nimona toying with Ballister just so good. Just perfect I give it a 10/10 it’s up there with spider-verse but on a different level as this is not a spider-verse kinda story so I wouldn’t compare it to that at all it’s personal and lovely and driven with pure heart. Don’t listen to me if u haven’t seen it go watch it. 😊❤
My sister scream cried when nimona died, she was very attached to her. I love nimona and I loved being able to scream maybe you should’ve listened to your boyfriend!! At one of the male protagonists.
The second that I say the two knights together i was like ha! They’re so cute together they should kiss, and cheered when they did.
Thank you for this video.
Nimona sacrificing herself has another layer-
if you at the laws we have today that make the world a safer place, often times those laws only came to be AFTER someone dies (who wouldnt have if the law existed), even if the need for those laws existed long before that.
People are so afraid of change that they won't confront it until extreme tragedy strikes, which is a terrible tragedy in and of itself.
Damn it, I NEED TO WATCH NIMONA RN! Thanx for reviewing it)
This makes my day better
All I've watched is your video and damn in tearing up :')
i sobbed. movie of the decade argue with the wall
you just explained how i felt watching the movie. It's just so deep, beautiful and sad. It's a beautiful movie and i recomend anyone to watch it because teaches such a big lesson
Super love this film, easily my favorite movie of 2023!!! Plus it's great to see a cancelled project be brought back by great word of mouth 🥰🥰🥰
I need everyone to watch it 10x bc I need a sequel
"Goodbye Blue Sky Studios. I'm really going to miss you".

This is up there with the almost deleted Toy Story 2. I’m so happy this is out.
Ah! My daughter just watched this. I’ll be honest, I don’t ever really get subtext in anything I watch. So, a channel like this is really helpful to get me thinking about things from another perspective. Thanks for all you do!!
As someone who read the comics back in 2021, I was so hyped to finally get to see it.
It's great!
the part where she said if she doesnt change she feels itchy reminded me of my tics and compultions, i still dont even do them around most people, i dont usually feel seen in movies it was so nice
I think this movie is the closest that we've ever seen a character talk/ attempt their suicide for a reason that people can relate to that is meant for children. We have movies where a character will sacrifice themselves in order to save whatever they need to but I can't really think of a kids movie where the characters talk about that or we are shown that (When I say kids I mean it was marketed for them, not like the blockbuster action movies out there that play on the nostalgia of the adult audience.)
I love love love this movie!! I literally just finished it and I’m so happy with everything. I read the comic a couple times in the past so the story felt really true to the original but better in every way. I love the characters’ personalities, designs, the world and how the animation looks in general. Just an incredible movie all around
Thanks for putting this on my radar, wasn't aware of it and the style looks gorgeous. Kind of a tangent, but the frustrating thing about real life is there's rarely big reveals and satisfying moments of mass realization of an authority lying to you that isn't staged. Especially when they get the population to passionately believe and participate in perpetuating said injustice, realization will be hard to swallow. The evil lady smearing their first piece of evidence as misinformation is realistic tho, especially how it was set up. How would people know it's true if she's a shapeshifter.
Information warfare is messy and tests the sanity of anyone in the thick of it, so I actually find it believable that even though it should be obvious Nimona was acting out of good he started questioning it because his loved one and everyone else was telling him otherwise. People are affected by those things and it can be hard especially if you're cast out for not going along. Been that way for all of history.
The pandemic has shown me how deeply trapped people can be by propaganda even after it's started to unravel and I can't unsee it. So now I'm just a bit cynical of it being portrayed that easily resolved in fiction, though I know it's prolly 'cuz it's a neat way to wrap up conflict.
I love how these two "villains" play off of each other
When I first watched Nimona I interpreted the scene when they were shapeshifting into animals to be with other animals as neurodivergence and no matter how hard you try you will be different . At least that’s what I took from it anyway :D
Just finished watching this movie earlier today, and it was amazing 😊
Just watching your video made me cry😭
PLEASEEE do a video on the umbrella academy, the final season is coming out next year and im so excited
This one hits hard man
My favorite movie this year, I love it! I want more
When watching the movie nimona I cried bc I understood so much from the movie and my dad also said I was kind of like nimona. That being different from others. Because I'm dyslexic and homeschooled. I felt like an outcast so I would hide it but when some people find out they tend go further away bc of some one who is neorodivergent. Being deemed mentaly ill.
Nimona is great, it’s not exactly like the book but it still holds in character elements that are important. The story is also really nice, I loved the book and thought this is a great version of it. It’s not the original but it’s still good in it’s own right
I cant help but notice how literal the movie is with a technologically advanced society that maintains archaic and unaccepting systems of authority and lifestyle
Great animation. Anna Purna puts out great stuff.
I watched it and it was really good. Alot of the gags made me laugh.
I adore both the webcomic and the movie.
The webcomic holds (and will always hold) a very special place in my heart, the anger, moral greyness of all the characters, the bittersweet taste it leaves after reading. All that is amazing and, well the movie is very different from that. But I'm really glad it is. I still would have loved the movie if it was a more true adaptation to the comic but having these 2 versions of the story is honestly something I'm actually a lot happier with.
Teenage me, who was figuring out her own queerness and only knew she din't fit in, really needed a bittersweet story filled with a shapeshifter who lashed out because of how she was hurt. who didn't fit in.
But 21 year old me, who knows her place and is secure in her queer identity, needed a story that was unapologetically queer, about compassion and hope. About how people can and will change their mind.
Im just glad i can have both stories, that both these stories get to be out there and be told. The movie is different from the webcomic and I'm SO glad i get to enjoy and love both :)
Very cool!
Just watched the movie and I absolutely loved it. It's definitely one of those movies where I fall for the characters so much that I just want to see them more, even as little short stories, ya know?
Fr this movie made me cry this is the first time I have cried in a emotional movie moment 😢❤
I found out like a week ago that the movie was coming out, I knew that it was almost finished and then bluesky died and I thought it would just end up as lost media and I was heartbroken. I had no idea Netflix picked it up, I thought it was really good tho! I don't really like how they changed Ballister's personality so drastically but they kept a good chunk of the important story parts. There were a lot of changes but the plot of Nimona starts out pretty slow so it would probably have been hard to adapt it perfectly
Now I know I'm gonna cry while watching it
I LOVE THIS MOVIE,NO MATTER HOW OFTEN I WATCH IT AND KNOW WHAT HAPPENS,IT NEVER GETS BORING
Oh my gosh! I loved the graphic novel when I read it, I’m so glad this video was made or I’d probably have never known there was a movie!
