Nimona is Better Than You Think 

Nimona wade through the trenches and managed to come out on top. Do you feel it deserved the second chance that it got? If you saw it, do you think it told it's story well?

I’m glad Blue Sky’s final product got to see the light of day.

Disney didn't deserve Ninoma anyway.

I’m glad Disney didn’t have Nimona in the end since we definitely wouldn’t have Ballister and Ambrosius relationship in the way it deserves to be shown

NIMONA VIOLATED MY EYES AT THE END I NEED A SECOND MOVIE NOWW!!!

Fun Fact: Blue Sky Studio's crew is listed in the credits. The author also got a small speaking role too.

If this had been released when I was a kid I would have been OBSESSED, nimona is everything I ever wanted in a movie as a little girl. Happy to see today kids got more vatiety on the kind of main characters their film have

Anyone remember Next Gen? The movie about a rebellious teen girl who gets some sort of robot friend in a futuristic city? It's an underrated masterpiece. Honestly, Nimona has almost the exact same vibes as that one.

Without getting into spoilers, the book is very different from the film, though a lot of the same story beats are carried over. All the changes are good ones though, and serve to make the story work as a 90 minute film. I'd still give the graphic novel a read though.

If one of the criticism is that it could be longer then I would say it’s a pretty good movie

I already want Netflix to make a series out of this movie because I feel there is so much more that can be explored about the charecters lives and the world they live in.

Having loved the original comic, I was really worried about this one. Stoked to hear that it's actually good and it even sounds like a pretty solid adaptation! Can't wait to watch it 😁

I’m cackling at the fact that Disney *has* to be kicking themselves for not taking up this film.

One very specific change that I really appreciated (not really a spoiler, since it's backstory) was eliminating the backstory of Ambrosius and Ballister growing up together in an orphanage (as affecting as some details of that story were). I thought ND later found a way to make that idea work much better (Catra and Adora), and this story benefitted from dropping that and deciding instead that they came from very different worlds.

OH IM SO GLAD ITS OUT! Can’t wait! The graphic novel is fantastic. Highly recommend it!

This might be a spoiler I like how we don’t get to know Nimonas origin or how old she actually is. From the flashback we know she’s at least 1000 years old. But then the question is, was what she said on the train true, or was that just what she heard from other people. Is her human forms just like her other forms. Is that giant form more like her original form. It’s a giant shining bright light covered in darkness. But it’s not important what she is, because we know who, she is.

Haven’t seen it yet but Nimona’s brazen attitude mixed with his lowkey anxiousness looks like a fun dynamic

I really hope this is successful for Nate. Lumberjanes will come out soon, but I have a soft spot for Shera 2018 and before that, Nimona. This felt like the real big jump between a webcomic, to graphic novels, to the big screen. Out of the thousands (even the one a Steven Universe animator never completed due to him being....well, an animator) only Nimona made it to the mainstream. Congrats Nate. You deserve this.

The comic is amazing. It is slightly different in tone and story, much more grey, spread out more and open ended and of it's time somehow (less media heavy), but the themes were captured well in the movie. Read it! It's great! ❤

It's not the exact same as the webnovel, but I think that's what makes it good! It isn't bogging itself down by trying to be faithful to the source material.

I just finished this movie and I loved it. I read it when I was younger and loved it.

Glad this movie made it out of production hell. Definitely checking it out when it drops

The ending made me fucking sob wtf

I definitely recommend the original graphic novel and the movie. They have the same premise but go very different and are both really solid. Congrats to the Nimona team!

I watched the film at 3 am when it first came out. It was definitely worth it

Love the book, honestly I was expecting the movie to be closer to 2 hours long 🤔😁

Oh, yes! I'm so ready for animated greatness and with a resonating, meaningful story that can be a fun, enjoyable experience too. I'm so ready for this movie! I've been hype to check it out since I've heard about it, including the graphic novel, which I might check out as well.

Wait, Nimona got a movie? I wasn't even aware of this. I quite liked the original webcomic, so I'll definitely have to go check this out.

Watched it and loved it, while not a perfect one to one recreation of the comic it still mantains the themes and the changes made i think were for the better, i really really loved this movie

This movie is pure fun and chaos. It's funny and heartfelt and just METAL!

Just as an info, its a thing going around but it was not 75% done at ALL. Maybe just in story department? But thats pretty much it. We had to do it all at dneg in all department. It was a entire process, we didn't just finish 25% ahah

something about Nimona makes me wanna hug her

I'm SO excited! This book was my nonbinary awakening!!

METAL!!!! The expressions and comedic timing in this movie is top fucking notch

about that "happening in the 2nd act what you expect in the 3rd" I was genuinely ready to get to bed during those moments but when I touched the screen and saw it's still just halfway through in a supposedly happy moment... I just went "oh no"

I Am very excited.

i was legit surprised with how good it was. nimona herself is jsut a ball of anarchy.

Loved it. Only gripe was that the mystery was super obvious and not because of any hints or foreshadowing but because there were only x possibilities and x-1 were clearly wrong. The story wasn't really about the mystery though so I don't think it detracted too much from it.

“Cold in here?” Got me dying 😂

Nimona is a love story to identity and finding yourself in a world that does not see you in it. As a trans and a nonbinary person, this animation hits very close to home to me. The amount of times of Nimona arguing against being seeing as "just a girl" feels similar. Her shapeshifting is a clear allegory for gender non conforming behavior, and the amount of times she correct Bal on what she was "I'm nimona." "Im not a people." etc etc when he asked her to just be a girl. Of course, Bal and dealing with the classism of his world is a big thing, the institute that betrayed him was what originally betrayed Nimona bc her best friend and ultimate betrayer was the idol citizens looked up to, and I think that's a poignant part not really discussed .

As queer person who have dealt with and is currently dealing with suicidal thoughts, this movie hits so hard. Everything was just so perfect, and relatable. I watched it last night and I just can't get over how awesome it was. All the critiques of this film, while valid, compared to the positives just doesn't mean anything to me. I loved it so much, but it may not resonate as much with other people.

I love how they animated Nimona subtly differently to everyone else. Whilst still stylised the human characters are grounded aside from the occasional squash-and-stretch or emphasis scene. And generally they don't do anything particularly superhuman. Nimona, by contrast, practically throws herself around like a cartoon character with a grin that splits her whole face in two. Emphasises how much of a chaos gremlin she is, and I love it.

I've already read the book and im definitely looking forward to this film

Absolutelly LOVED THIS FILM, been a huge fan of ND Stevenson since She-Ra and despite never read the original graphic novel (I look a few chapters before but never finishing will have to go and buy the thing later XD), but since I heard they wanted to make an adaptation, really was exited to see it, but then...DISNEY HAPPEN.....so happy that despite Netflix many...many..many scrubs ups, they still support animation (not forgiving them for Inside Job...still mad about that one), so glad they saved this one, I adore Nimona and this story is another example that is not the diversity, or representation that bomb stuff, is bad stories....this have literally everything some other bad writers will HAMMER hard and preachy in a very in you face way....Just like with She-Ra Noelle or ND now, the the talented people behind this movie, showcase that is not the ISSUE, as long you can tell a good story with good characters that are memorable and likable, I just watch it and want to see it again.....and man the moments that HIT, hit hard in this film...........also I wasn't excepting to be this FUNNY, I was laughing hard at many jokes and situations, but as well felt all the heartbreaking moments, again I need to salute Stevenson, they absolutely know how to write a GOOD STORY and use diversity without FORCING IT like Disney does.....also just another L for Disney this year and another W for animation............damn this been a GOOD YEAR for animation fans, we are eating goooood!

Calling it, favorite movie of the year!!! 🥰🥰🥰

I LOVE the background song u chose for this SO MUCH I cannot put it into words!!!! ❤❤❤

great review! can’t wait to watch this now that you’ve sold me on giving it a try

I loved the movie, but i think would have worked better as a series. Its great as what it is and nothing feels rushed, but SO MUCH happens and it could have hit harder then it already does if it was in a show format and took more times to build things up, especially when you consider they squeezed a whole comic into one movie. Gorgeous animation, REALLY REALLY good plot, i loved all the characters i was supposed to love and hated all the characters i was supposed to hate and I really connected with the message and the themes. 8.5/10 for me, its great to see queer stories that are undeniably lgbtq without being lgbtq being the center of the story.

I watched it and I WANT A SEQUEL

The most unrealistic part of the movie is how anyone can think a Ballister is evil after looking at those big, brown eyes. He looks like a kicked puppy, or a bathed kitty.

"Space Age Love Song"?? I love it! Fwiw, Eugene Lee Yang who voices Ambrosius said that they were definitely going for that tension with the character - Ambrosius in the comic is white, but they gave him Asian heritage for the movie - so you get the feeling that Ambrosius is torn between the two halves of his family, because on one hand, holy shit, he's a direct descendent of Gloreth, but then...what about the rest of his life?

I hope that the success of Nimona might mean we can get a Lumberjanes series or movie, it also has very good queer rep

Honestly, I did not predict who was responsible for the death of the queen at all. Maybe it should have been obvious but I am very oblivious and sometimes things go way over my head as I am just so in the moment and in the action. Honestly works in my favour as even the obvious twists hit hard as intended 😂

I loved this movie.

I haven't seen this but I want it as a television series.

I’m a huge sucker for medieval fantasy combined with futuristic sci-fi. This movie accomplishes just that.

Just watch the film. Very well-done!

Thanks for convincing me to check out this movie

Honestly, i feel the the main reaosn disney dropped this film is because of its themes of "Fuck authority, fuck the goverment, do what you want" slightly more than the queer rep

I live for Nimona! She is so funny, independent, smart, and funny as hell. And you know she is not like: "me me me me" alll the time. But more like "let's break some stuff with my bestie" and the

This is one of those movies that REALLY needs to be expanded into a miniseries

This movie was awesome! I just finished seeing it with my dad, and wow. ❤❤

Dude I love the end

Thanks I can confidently show my daughter this film now🙏🏾💞

I can't wait to finally see it. Will you also do a review on Across the Spider-Verse one day?

nimona has been an icon for me ever since i got the book for my 9th birthday (i would dress up as her all the time)

White fragility? Ambrosius is Asian.

I had fun watching this movie. a hidden Gem.

Nimona gives off Ne Zha vibes from the 2019 movie LOL 😂

this is truly the best animated movie from Netflix

This movie was total metal

Pure Awesome as well 🤩😎

You said it!

They brought her back from the dead of canceled

This movie better than Elemental

Just the previews about the evil side kick thing had us laughing and its on our watch list ..

This is masterpiece. Havent seen it yet.

The voice acting is so good

holy fuck, i remember when this was just a graphic novel!!!

This movie hit hard really hard

This movie was 🤘

How were you able to watch the movie early? Netflix said it’s not coming out till June 30th? 😭

You know that it ain't cap when the punk himself Hobie would be proud. I salute you

I saw the movie on Netflix it was really great

This movie is awesome. I loved every bit of it.

I had no idea Andy did the egg thing.

I don’t think the animation would’ve been as good under Blue Sky

Yeah, I loved the movie a lot but yeah it should've been longeeeer, like it's infuriating that most animated movies aren't often longer than 90 minutes

I absolutely loved this movie 10/10 but yah could have used a bit more time and I would have liked to see more of the conflict between Glorith and Nimona, it’s hard to believe that Nimona would attack on purpose so aside from that one accident I want to see how she became known as this terrible monster. And how her once friend Glorith fought her.

A good peace of art makes me think, a great peace of art makes me want to start a riot!

Okay I just watched this movie. I wish it was a tv show whit high budget cus I really just want more of it

Absolute METAL

Wow this sounds great! Too bad I’m never downloading Netflix again. Also #Saverotmnt

Nimona crushes disney and Pixar alongside Spiderman ATSV

🔥🔥🔥

This is the kind of story that would help my queer 12yo depressed self. Glad people have this kind of story these days!

Hope you'll have a good day

Yo is that space age love song in the background?? Good taste alert

2:41 same here

Ok so what are your thoughts on Lego monkey Kid After season 4?
