The animated movie hits Netflix this June after years of ups and downs and alleged studio interference.
When Nimona debuts on Netflix on June 30, fans will meet it with a sigh of long-suffering relief. The animated production, an adaptation based on the award-winning graphic novel of the same name, saw a sadly egregious amount of ups and downs. At one point following Walt Disney Studios' purchase of 20th Century Fox and its subsidiary studios, Nimona was shelved à la Warner Bros.' Batgirl, never to see the light of day.
In addition to the same-sex romance between former lovers-turned-enemies Ballister and Ambrosius, the character of Nimona embraces gender fluidity and gender nonconformity. Moreover, the corrupt, cruel, and exclusionary Institution deeming Nimona an "abomination" and a "monster" because of her shapeshifting ability can be interpreted as a metaphor for structural oppression and systematic violence against the LGBTQIA+ community.
Stevenson and Nimona director Patrick Osbourne were "heartbroken" over the studio's closing. An anonymous Blue Sky employee stated, "[That] is heartbreaking because we are not only losing our jobs, we’re losing our family, our workplace, we’re losing the closure of being able to send Nimona out into the world, where it could change kids' lives.
