Nimona is a charming, nuanced & sophisticated animated feature. The narrative is quite apparent in its themes about morality, identity, and tradition.
After what felt like ages of uncertainty and heartbreak, those who remained steadfast in their support for Nimona finally feel triumphant. Harsh circumstances made it so that a revelatory animated feature about a shape-shifting hero and two gay knights became a causality of intolerance and moral policing, but against all odds, Nimona has found new life.
After a limited theatrical run, the animated film is now available worldwide after years of gestation. And how is it? It’s pretty darn great. It’s goofy, endearing, darkly funny, and incredibly relevant. The film is perfect for younger audiences, especially those who need a positive presentation of queer and genderfluid identities. However, the film is not some after-school special or PSA on how to treat people who are different than you with dignity and respect.
The animation style is enchanting, modern, and nostalgic. The original animation team aimed to develop a style that blended the 2D, hand-drawn style with 3D technology, to emphasize the medieval origins of the story and the modern setting. Additionally, the ambitious color choices, dynamic action sequences, and charming character designs help solidify the unique tone of the graphic novel it is inspired by without making a very literal animated adaptation.
