To me, one of the biggest details about this movie is that Ballister saved Nimona from herself at the end. He didn't save her from some big bad, he stopped her from ending her own life.
Fun Fact: The credits for the film has an entire section dedicated to everyone that has worked at Blue Sky, complete with Nimona shapeshifting into a squirrel. A bittersweet, but great note to end on.
What I absolutely despise is that Disney bought out Blue Sky and then casually shut them down saying it was too expensive to maintain. This was simply them getting rid of competition.
That's why I don't like half of the reviews, they play around too much and they ain't real with it. Like for real, /srs or /J like come on man. Edit: haven't read any of the replies because there's always somebody telling me to super slide so clarification: the way they "react" is always the same jokes over and over again (POINTING GAY GAY GAY LOOK POINTING GAY OH MY GOSH GAY THEY'RE GAY OH MY GOD GAY OH MY GOSH GAY LOOK POINTING GAY OH MY GOSH) and the way they react always seems like they genuinely don't care or aren't paying attention in the slightest and it's annoying. Like can you guys quit playing these little characters and make it look like you're actually paying attention to what you're watching? They don't feel genuine and it always feels like they're just crapping on whatever they're watching. Because I genuinely don't think these guys actually enjoy what they watch. When it looks like they don't care it kind of just rubs off you know? The likes tell me at least one or two of you agree with me, hopefully they change up their style of content soon. No genuine hate to them because well there's no reason to actually hates them. "Oh why did you watch the review then" because I like Nimona and the graphic novel was a big part of my childhood, hush sexy.
That's the whole Channel's thing. They like to shit on things even if they love it. I got used to it and just reminded myself to not take their reactions that seriously. Besides, they're all just masking in their vids trying to one up each other with the wildest jokes for content.
What’s crazy is that nimona was never really in danger of being killed, yet still had to have her life saved, because she literally tried to KILL HERSELF. So the movie is definitely very mature compared to other stuff that’s for kids
Bit too mature imo. Why do kids need to be encouraged to deny biology and also look up to non-parental adults again...? And learn that fantasizing about gruesome death and murder and other immorals behaviors atr cute and quirky...???????? I do like the anti-suicide message though. Combined with every damn thing in this movie though, it ain't it. I completely understand why Disney vetoed this, and that's saying something since Disney is on it's woke arc.
@@bungerbungerbunger246 Bro wtf are you on? It ain't my job to explain to you the legions of distinct ways your claim of "denying biology" is wrong, so nevermind that, what exactly is wrong with looking up to "non-parental adults?" Do you mean looking up to adults that aren't their parents? Because that's perfectly fine as well. Should I have spent my time looking up to a verbally and emotionally abusive father? And where is this movie teaching people to "fantasizing about gruesome death and murder?" Just the fact that it includes it? The scenes shown in the film are not too different from the Lion King, and I'd say a good number of kids watched that and lived to tell the tale. On top of that, the entire point of Nimona's attempted [RUclips-censor friendly word here] is that it would have been a horrible tragedy, caused by the willful ignorance and unacceptance of the world around them. And I defy you to list your "other immoral behaviors." Your dogwhistles and outdated rhetoric aren't fooling anyone. You've immediately shown a record level of ignorance, why not go for broke. "Disney's woke arc?" _Really?_ Heaven forbid you have to face the fact that other people exist; but hey, hope you get stronger with all that pearl-clutching. And on top of that you're trying to say Disney is progressive? The company that, as you admit, tried to have this movie sidelined, that have had like 50 first gay characters (but also it isn't mentioned in the movie) as tokens to try to sell to a community desperate for any decent representation, that makes sure scenes that would show anything against a heteronormative worldview are just brief enough to edit out of releases in less progressive countries? Are you really going to participate in holding back the progress people have made to educate the modern world out of their ancient hatreds and bigotry? Is that really worth your time? Frankly, if it's just about finding attention, please take it to Reddit. They love their conservative echo chambers. Or is it just that, with so little actual problems in life, you have grown bored enough that you have to concoct a scenario in which people who are different from you finally getting the same opportunities, respect and dignity you have always had, is somehow detrimental to you? That people who ask for basic levels of respect while living their lives is some act of malice against you? Even if anyone's existence was supposedly "denying biology," it costs nothing to show the same respect afforded to everyone else. No one is "denying biology" either, but if you can't learn that you can at least learn a little empathy.
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.
I find it hilarious that Disney tried so hard to push this movie down the toilet while they already have so many projects stuck in development hell: the Darkwing Duck reboot, the threequels for National Treasure, Tron and The Princess Diaries, every Star Wars movie, the Pirates movies, the live action African princess movie, Sade, which I'm convinced they turned it into the live action Little Mermaid movie. And at the same time, this movie has gotten so much critical acclaim, Disney's neverending sabotage of their animated movies is biting them in the ass with a counting number of blox office flops! It's like poetry, it rhymes! Wish I would've gotten to see the movie in theaters. We don't see many queer leads in kids/family movies or animated movies on the big screen.
The reason it feels complicated yet simple is because they compressed and changed the story a lot to fit into a movie. The comic itself has a lot more information and story, but with the production hell this movie went through, I’m just glad it came out. Maybe it’s because I haven’t read the comic in a while, but the changes weren’t severe enough that it lost the original feel of the comics
The menssage for me was ruined because of the excecution. It was all meh, wierd tone shifts and rushed. The animation is nice tho, hope this movie at least serves as a step stone for better narratives.
@@ehhhehhh5079Ballister is a gay man in the visual novel so it would have been wierd if he got pared up with Nimona, specially since this version of Nimona is a little girl, unlike the original which is a nonbinary adult
Considering that Disney is responsible for shut down Blue Sky Studio, Nimona being their last film and became successful is the moment when the studio finally got its revenge.
I'm glad Disney didn't finish Nimona because then Ballister and Ambrosius wouldn't have gotten the relationship they deserve and they definitely would have toned down Nimona herself. Nimona was a massive W, in spite of the awful production troubles it went through.
@@ehhhehhh5079 The romance between Balistor and the other guy? Also, no. Balister and Ninoma wouldn't have worked. Their literally polar opposites and have very different core opinions.
I'm so glad Disney cancelled this film... They would have gotten rid of all the heart and passion, and they don't deserve the film as how it was released. I love this movie, and I love the comic it comes from.
@@egbert5871hats actually not the reason, believe it or not. They've shown gays before, a lot, and one of the people working at Disney litterally said that she wanted to shove as much "gayness" as possible into Disney's film's. They cancelled the film, despite how people try to twist it, because they wanted to make money off of their already existing popular IPs. such as obviously ice age, and Rio. Instead of risking it with a new IP.
I tried to watch this with my friends and when i told them the title everytime a new charcter was on screen they just asked “is that pneumonia?” I stopped 10 minutes in
Annapurna definitely did Blue Sky justice. I'm so glad this film got a second chance and had so many thought provoking messages. Big metaphors/analogies to fearmongering and propaganda against minorities, using fear to control, the victors writing the history books, use of excessive force, maintaining tradition/the status quo at all costs, gaslighting, and hiding the parts of yourself that aren’t “normal” enough for others’ comfort, among others. It’s pretty spectacular.
Not-so-fun fact: after new management from Disney, the Nimona team was constantly pressured during meetings to remove Ballister and Ambrosius's kiss scene, to the point where they had no choice but to take it out of presentations (despite ultimately wanting to include it).
There is a reason for Nimona's ability to return, I strongly reccommend the comic as the story points are the same, but is done differently, and adds more to Nimona's background. Love the movie as a standalone, though. Both versions are fantastic! (I, too, enjoy a bittersweet ending, but the way it cut off, censoring him, was hilarious.)
Even though Blue Sky's ultimate fate still remains disappointing, watching this movie really emphasizes how held back animated films under the Disney umbrella are forced to be. I don't think this movie would've managed to be this unfiltered if it came from Blue Sky while Disney had them tied to the end of a string. Seeing their name in the end credits showcased just how much passion everyone involved had in bringing this film to life and I'm so happy we got a chance to experience it.
Tbh all of nimonas 'too perfect' ness is instantly explained once you learn she can shapeshift. How she snuck into the prison? Probs turned into a fly. How she beat a room full of guards? I unno probs turned into a rhino / gorilla / whale and whooped them, etc
I love how Eugene from the try guys was one of the voice actors in this movie and he did an amazing job in this movie. This movie was amazingly done and the ending was good but I wish we didn’t get left at a cliffhanger but it was still amazing!! Leave MJ out of this!!
14:03 I mean if you guys really did think about it, the movie is set in a futuristic medieval time period so this was way way back in the past where kids would probably use stuff like old english and it just incorporates into the future
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 mean it makes sense they'd drop the pandemic storyline though in my opinion, given the world we live in. It's still a great companion piece that coexists with the novel.
I love the artstyle so much, it reminded me of concept art for movies with the more square/blocky lineless shapes that they use for paintings of scenes to figure out the lighting/atmosphere.
This film definitely gives on 2012 Tumblr vibes. Then I found out the creator was a Tumblr artist/comic book artist and it all clicked. IIRC she was in high school or college when she came up with Nimona. Couldn’t imagine how grateful she was to see this film get released.
Just watched it today and surprisingly was really good. Kinda sad this was blue sky’s last movie before they went out of business but overall not too bad. Kinda wish the animation was a little bit more polished tho lol
i just appreciate the fact that they didn't make all these bits of represenation a whole key part of the film and only as a passive thing that happened in the main plot. Like Bal's and Ambro's relationship, it was just so naturally introduced. And the range of diversity in this film feels fresh. I'd rewatch it for sure.
In 2018 I did a work shop at my states uni where we met a bunch of Australian comic artists. I was doubting my own art skills and the guy we had for the day handed me Nimona. I remember him mentioning that a movie adaptation would be coming out in 2020, it didn’t of course and I’d have tho wait an extra 3 years, but god was it worth it. 10/10 sobbed hard
If you think Spilling the Milk thinks this is too gay, just remember this movie was nearly killed by Disney. After all, they’d rather have films where they can easily edit out gay characters for international audiences instead of, you know, doing something like this that’s actually somewhat decent.
This movie was literally amazing and I shouldn't have waited so long to watch it, this review varely scratched the surface of it and people should watch it
This movie hit me hard when i remember I read this as a graphic novel as a middle schooler. Sure it's not the same plot set up but the vibes and how they made the animation feel how I read it before. Love it.
This movie is, in my opinion, amazing. Its on the level of Puss in Boots 2 for me which is high praise. Its so rare to see a movie balance everything *so well* . The pacing is a little fast paced, but its just right for the amount of story they crammed into 1h 47 minutes. The animation is spectacular and only enhances the comedy and action. And while the plot isn't complicated or anything, hell they basically just give up on any intrigue just tell you who the villain is not even 1/3 of the way into the movie, but it doesn't NEED to be because the focus was on the characters and they *nailed it*
Wild fact. This movie was stuck in film making hell. it was a web comic on tumblr that was contacted by Blue Sky who started making the movie, who was sold to Disney who then fired like everyone. But after some time Netflix was able to make a deal to get the movie made. It was a miracle this movie was made, and kinda explains why some parts are a bit jank. The credits also have a ton, and I do mean a ton of people doing various things. Including a team dedicated to Nimona specific animation/effects. There was also a Sweat Box team, which just look up Disney's emperor's New Groove Documentary to understand what that kinda means. Its not the best conditions to work, nor the most organized. But I'm glad they got credit and paid for their work.
Considering it got canceled at blue sky and changed studios to Netflix who has a bad reputation when it comes animation in recent times. The film is pretty lucky to turn out the way it did though I feel it may have needed a little more time to add some more flourishes I’m sure it wanted to have.
I enjoyed the movie, but liked the comic better. a bit more subdued, and I liked old bitter Ballister over this younger, more naive movie counterpart. still, pretty good. more hype for this than elemental or teenage kraken.
I feel like y’all 3 specifically watching this together caused the worst imaginable viewing experience for the emotional scenes in the film… which is why I love watching these videos!!! But seriously y’all should check it out on your own or with a partner to better understand the uninterrupted feelings that the film wants you to have.
Yeah, that's what these guys are like with everything. Their whole thing is fast-paced obnoxious riffing for their twitch audience of 12-year-olds, while taking in less than 20% of what's actually happening. How they have a following on youtube by re-posting the twitch streams is beyond me.
I literally watched this yesterday. It's good. Good moral of the dangers of the fear of other mentality. It's also a bit weird, because the society is a mix of liberal in the best light & conservative in the worst way.
Nah, it's like the Starship Troopers of left wing ideology, but ACTUALLY without a shred of self-awareness that Paul Veerhoeven would have injected. Just a self-pitying pathos story.
@@Soul-Sketched It's just kinda dumb that the director literally killed her queen because a commoner was going to be a night. I find that more elitist than conservative IMO. Also, the fact that they only recorded a sound bite from Nimona(Disguised as Ambrosis) confronting the director is stupid. If they'd release the entire scene, the director would be screwed. Also, they should've saved the video of the sword swapping on that computer thing they had at their base.
@@Good_Boy_3000 I think Ballister didn't want people to see Nimona was there, nor give any clues that he was the one that uploaded the video, also if people saw Ambrosius getting stabbed and then see he's fine somehow they're gonna think it's fake
Well that's unfortunately due to the media's liberal bias, after 2019. Liberals control basically all of media except for a few stations, and this has mostly impacted Disney. Causing them to use said messaging to make the sw sequels, phase four of Marvel, Indiana Jones 5, Pixar's film's after toy story four, and so on. Dreamworks is actually the only major company still putting conservative values with characters in a good light. Which is why puss in boots was so good for 2022.
To be fair the reason why most set pieces and renderings for the characters don’t look complete is because it was cancelled and then picked up again by netflix and they had a set time to be finished
I like that she turned into a pheonix at the end foreshadowing that she would come back. Also at the beginning when the director said to Bal "today everyone will see who you really are" foreshadowing her being the villan.
This was one of those films where I was turned off by the initial art and promo, that one still on Netflix where Nimona is grinning did it, then decided to give it another chance after some people talked about how great it was. Glad I checked it out, really fun movie and probably in my top 10 films for the year in terms of enjoyment. 2023 has been a great year for animation and surprisingly Disney hasn’t contributed to that greatness so far. Kind of ironic how everyone calls Disney “woke” yet they’re the ones who shut down Blue Sky and almost killed this film for having gay leads.
Im really glad this was released for the sake of Blue Sky Studios. I didn't love most of their movies, but they didn't deserve to just be axed the way they were.
First! Also this movie was pretty nice I mean parts felt alittle fast and I had to adjust to a different objective they had every 25 minutes but it’s definitely a comfort film that I can just watch to feel good
I know these guys are react RUclipsrs, not reviewers, so they crack a lot of jokes and not all their opinions should be taken seriously. But Kor laughing when Nimona said "Sometimes.........I just wanna let em" was straight-up foul
@@cosygoose1813 So? Plenty of things in this movie have been done before, but the character expressions and voice acting sell it so well, I love all of Nimona and Ballister's lines, even the ones I can see coming
So happy to see a RUclipsr actually calling out how bad the pacing was in this. I love the movie, it’s definitely one of my favourites right now (if not just for Nimona being an icon and the entirety of what’s going on with her plot-wise being one of my Favourite Types Of Story Ever), but it feels like it’s just dragging us from scene to scene to scene right up until the 3rd act. There’s a lot of stuff that seems underdeveloped or unexplained. Like, I have no clue why Ballister switched from being so anti-destruction to supporting it from one scene to another, because Nimona and him never really had a chance to just… talk, on-screen? They never really bond past them working together and Ballister being monsterphobic. It would’ve been nice to have a scene or two of them just Chatting that’s more focused on showing who they both are as characters than pushing one of the 2 through lines of the story along (“what’s up with Nimona’s monster stuff?” and “we need to clear Ballister of murder” being the 2). Maybe a 5 or 10 minute scene right before the fight where Nimona turns into a dragon? It’d also give the movie some much-needed breathing room.
If it was supposed to be a show, I highly doubt it would even release. Shows take a much higher budget and make less profit in comparison to movies. I would appreciate if it was though.
Oh, yeah, a lot of the issues I’ve seen would be fixed if it *was* a show, but I’m not trying to say that that was actually achievable at all-I get that the situation for this movie was rrrreally rough, and I’m happy it came out at all, and that even with all the production issues it’s still super good!!! The pacing problems I have would definitely be fixed if it was a show, though.
I feel like this movie being a MOVIE instead of a show is a massive mistake. Some stories work better in show format and I think this is absolutely one of them. There were 3 or 4 different arcs in this movie-this could have made a really good 7 or 8 episode show. Compressing it all into one movie made it feel kinda rushed and clunky imo. This is one of the few stories that I really think would have benefited from being a lot longer than what we got. Still cute with a lot of soul tho.
@@youtubewontletme I do? Reread the last sentence lol. It’s a very cute movie with a lot of heart, I’m glad I watched but I had its issues just like everything else, and one of those issues was having too much plot for a movie this length
@@RealValkor Cute doesn’t mean “meh” though Cute: adjective appealing in a pretty or endearing way. I stated that I liked the movie, it was cute and full of soul, I just thought it would have worked better in a show format. Nothing about that is insulting or demeaning, so I’m confused as to why two people have now misunderstood me. Is it because I opened with the criticism first and ended with a compliment, should I have written it the other way around? (sorry if this comes off as rude, I’m genuinely asking because i can’t stop saying thing’s incorrectly to save my life?? 90% of what I say seems to be taken in the wrong way and it’s kind of driving me insane send help)
There are so many scenes in this movie that are better on a second watch, like how when she transforms into a little girl (10:19) when she sees that child, she doesn't just turn into any kid, she turns into the child version of _herself_ This may be the first time she's ever transformed into that version of herself for over a thousand years, and the kid reacts the same way Gloreth did, which I believe is Nimona's personal lowpoint in the movie... She showed her "real" self and was rejected yet again, in almost exactly the same way no less. Or the scene where Ballister removes the arrow from Nimona's leg(not shown in this video) When he pokes the arrow her leg spurts out a little blood, but then when he fully removes the arrow, there's nothing, not even any blood on the arrow tip itself... I fully believe she was making fun of him with the blood, but when she realized he was actually trying to help her(and also may be a little traumatized by blood thanks to a certain... missing arm), she stops doing it and shuts up. I don't know about anyone else, but I really liked this... I started off skeptical, and there were a few points I almost turned the movie off, but once that feels started pouring in I was absolutely hooked. I need more of this... I need a second movie!(Or a TV series; but only if it looks good like the movie and doesn't pull a Dreamworks with the animation quality)
I WATCHED THIS MOVIE YESTERDAY AND ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! It’s been a while since I’ve had my entire being shatter and be rebuilt. Day 22 of asking y’all to watch Green Eggs and Ham
8:34 Actually right at the start of the movie he's trying to warn him about it but everyone was rushing through things to get prepared and pretty much got ignored/dismissed then she arrived (the woman who changed the swords) and they headed to the ceremony to become knights so he just didn't have the time.
Honestly overall, the movie made me laugh, it had its wholesome moments and also made me cry a bit towards the end. A quirky movie indeed, but was interesting to watch
Yet another example of how Disney only supports LGBTQIA+ representation when it can be easily edited out for international releases. As soon as the representation becomes integral to the story, it gets axed.
People need to stop asking Disney for representation in the first place. Movies like this prove that you don't need Disney. I'd love for the trend of seeking validation from corporations to end. Corporations don't value anyone.
@@vlo4829Is the opposite. Is the studios who greenlight the movies. The studios are the ones people should complain. But not only Disney, every studio.
I really enjoyed this movie. I was surprised you tore it apart so ruthlessly! The visuals were odd, though; my wife said it fell too within the uncanny valley for her.
Love them but they didn’t get it at all and it made this very hard to watch. The story is very special to me as a bisexual with depression and the anxiety and fear of being myself. The couple is 100% real and her depression is a part of the story as much as she is. To hear a person you’ve watched/know say they want to die because they can’t change the way they are is the hardest thing I’ve had to hear from a movie. + this movie was passed by so many companies that the fact it was made was a miracle It was just too unique to be seen. Not everything needs to be Spiderverse some things just need the space to be themselves. That includes Spiderverse to compare its animation to almost everything similar is running both stories and killing the perspectives of amazing and awful movies by making everything a “unoriginal animation”. The story is for everyone and it’s allowed to be itself in the same universe as other good movies.
i had no idea this movie existed until a couple of days ago, but discovering Annapurna worked on it is a huge treat. i fucking LOVED Maquette and didn’t know they produced anything other than games. a must-add for my watchlist!
It flipped off Disney while providing some mature and dark themes. I definitely like the movie. It was an uphill battle the whole way to production, so I really don’t fault it for the simple plot, empty settings, and the one dimensional villains.
I think the reason I like this movie is because of how it reflects real life oppression, and the plot shouldn't just be seen as a basic adventure plot. When Nimona at the end quite literally tried to end it, that shook me up, that's more than your average movie.
To me, one of the biggest details about this movie is that Ballister saved Nimona from herself at the end. He didn't save her from some big bad, he stopped her from ending her own life.

Let's all admit it: Blue Sky's human art style would've made the film look worse. The art that we have for this film is better than what we thought.

I find it hilarious that Disney tried so hard to push this movie down the toilet while they already have so many projects stuck in development hell: the Darkwing Duck reboot, the threequels for National Treasure, Tron and The Princess Diaries, every Star Wars movie, the Pirates movies, the live action African princess movie, Sade, which I'm convinced they turned it into the live action Little Mermaid movie. And at the same time, this movie has gotten so much critical acclaim, Disney's neverending sabotage of their animated movies is biting them in the ass with a counting number of blox office flops! It's like poetry, it rhymes!
Wish I would've gotten to see the movie in theaters. We don't see many queer leads in kids/family movies or animated movies on the big screen.
Diesney saw that their competition is better, so they bought them and shut them down.
We could've gotten a Spore movie? Now I'm curious how they would've even done that.
Man, it's crazy how low companies are diving these days, it's actually sad as hell
SPORE?????
The reason it feels complicated yet simple is because they compressed and changed the story a lot to fit into a movie. The comic itself has a lot more information and story, but with the production hell this movie went through, I’m just glad it came out. Maybe it’s because I haven’t read the comic in a while, but the changes weren’t severe enough that it lost the original feel of the comics
sounds like it seriously should have been a TV show and not a movie honestly.
It's also because the production has been tossed like a dodgeball whenever they got shutdown.
@@ashleyashleym2969I dunno, the graphic novel isn’t that long.
they completely changed the ending tbh lol, i kinda perfer this over the comic one
The menssage for me was ruined because of the excecution. It was all meh, wierd tone shifts and rushed. The animation is nice tho, hope this movie at least serves as a step stone for better narratives.
If Disney had this movie, Ballister and Ambrosius would've just been good friends
I sensed more romance between ballister and Nimona their romance didn’t make sense to me
@@ehhhehhh5079Ballister is a gay man in the visual novel so it would have been wierd if he got pared up with Nimona, specially since this version of Nimona is a little girl, unlike the original which is a nonbinary adult
@@matias3542 never read the novel so didn’t really know just as a first time watcher I was kinda hoping it’d be ballister and Nimona
@@ehhhehhh5079 no.
@@ehhhehhh5079 hah! No
Considering that Disney is responsible for shut down Blue Sky Studio, Nimona being their last film and became successful is the moment when the studio finally got its revenge.
Yep, total karma
Disney can fuck off for shutting down Blue Sky, they made great movies
I'm glad Disney didn't finish Nimona because then Ballister and Ambrosius wouldn't have gotten the relationship they deserve and they definitely would have toned down Nimona herself. Nimona was a massive W, in spite of the awful production troubles it went through.
Omg fr. They probably would have edited everything that made this film good out and turned it into another boring "safe" movie.
I sensed more romance between ballister and Nimona their romance didn’t make sense to me
@@ehhhehhh5079 The romance between Balistor and the other guy? Also, no. Balister and Ninoma wouldn't have worked. Their literally polar opposites and have very different core opinions.
Also we wouldn't have that amazing ending
@@ehhhehhh5079ignoring the fact that Ballister is a gay man, do you realize sometimes people can just like... be friends?
I'm so glad Disney cancelled this film... They would have gotten rid of all the heart and passion, and they don't deserve the film as how it was released. I love this movie, and I love the comic it comes from.
got us in the first half not gonna lie
Nimona talking about wanting to let people kill her and Kor laughing uncontrollably was so wild oh my god T_T
Eden couldn't even make a funny comment to that, he's literally just "Kor, why are you laughing at that..."

That scene always made me cry and bro was CACKLING
I was wondering why kor was laughing 😭

I actually enjoyed this movie and I hate how Disney tried to scrap it when they bought Blue sky studios
scrapped it since gay couple
I thought it was cute, but the book is much better
@@egbert5871hats actually not the reason, believe it or not. They've shown gays before, a lot, and one of the people working at Disney litterally said that she wanted to shove as much "gayness" as possible into Disney's film's. They cancelled the film, despite how people try to twist it, because they wanted to make money off of their already existing popular IPs. such as obviously ice age, and Rio. Instead of risking it with a new IP.
@@dragonsman4733yeah thats the problem shoving way to much gayness aka being woke and obnoxious instead and of making it natural.
I am glad Annapurna and Netflix save this movie from being scrapped
I tried to watch this with my friends and when i told them the title everytime a new charcter was on screen they just asked “is that pneumonia?” I stopped 10 minutes in
LMAOOOO
That’s not how you pronounce it??
@@Willowimaexactly 😭
What a bunch of bullies 😂😢 I hope you get the confidence to trick them into watching a whole movie another time in the future 😅
It's hard NOT to notice that.
Annapurna definitely did Blue Sky justice. I'm so glad this film got a second chance and had so many thought provoking messages. Big metaphors/analogies to fearmongering and propaganda against minorities, using fear to control, the victors writing the history books, use of excessive force, maintaining tradition/the status quo at all costs, gaslighting, and hiding the parts of yourself that aren’t “normal” enough for others’ comfort, among others. It’s pretty spectacular.
Yeah and it's a big w for Netflix and Annapurna
You convinced me to hate this movie.
@@MDG-mykys *surprised president of hocotate face*

@@alllittlethingzz yeah I am always in almost every video by the milk boys!
Not-so-fun fact: after new management from Disney, the Nimona team was constantly pressured during meetings to remove Ballister and Ambrosius's kiss scene, to the point where they had no choice but to take it out of presentations (despite ultimately wanting to include it).
Man, fuck Disney.
where did you find information about Nimona’s treatment by Disney?
@@simulatrix my ass
There is a reason for Nimona's ability to return, I strongly reccommend the comic as the story points are the same, but is done differently, and adds more to Nimona's background. Love the movie as a standalone, though. Both versions are fantastic! (I, too, enjoy a bittersweet ending, but the way it cut off, censoring him, was hilarious.)
It still surprises me that Nimona got a PG rating
I am pregnant 🤰
Even though Blue Sky's ultimate fate still remains disappointing, watching this movie really emphasizes how held back animated films under the Disney umbrella are forced to be. I don't think this movie would've managed to be this unfiltered if it came from Blue Sky while Disney had them tied to the end of a string. Seeing their name in the end credits showcased just how much passion everyone involved had in bringing this film to life and I'm so happy we got a chance to experience it.
Yeah and I definitely blame Disney for almost scarp the movie until Netflix saves it
Tbh all of nimonas 'too perfect' ness is instantly explained once you learn she can shapeshift. How she snuck into the prison? Probs turned into a fly. How she beat a room full of guards? I unno probs turned into a rhino / gorilla / whale and whooped them, etc
I love the facial animations in this movie, they’re just so expressive
"The monsters are always out there"
"You can't trust a hoe" HAD ME DYING IN THE BEGINNING
One of my favorite details in the film is how Balister immediately feels like something’s off when he’s handed the sword by the squire
This movie made me sob violently
Big same
Real
same
I wish the final segment was different, the ending was anticlimactic. I know that it sets up for a sequel, but I don't wanna get my hopes up.
I was crying big fat tears fr. Theres some stuff I feel couldve been done better with the story but I loved it anyway. great watch
I love how Eugene from the try guys was one of the voice actors in this movie and he did an amazing job in this movie. This movie was amazingly done and the ending was good but I wish we didn’t get left at a cliffhanger but it was still amazing!!
Leave MJ out of this!!
14:03 I mean if you guys really did think about it, the movie is set in a futuristic medieval time period so this was way way back in the past where kids would probably use stuff like old english and it just incorporates into the future
1:38 “MLM representation that isn’t a pyramid scheme for once.” I love this line XD
Keep in mind that Disney willingly said no to publishing this movie because of the couple. Blue sky gave them the middle finger with this banger
Gonna add that to the Disney sucks list
Disney can fuck off for shutting down Blue Sky
And not the constant death and gore jokes that are pretty much ingrained into Nemona's character, absolutely not.
@@bungerbungerbunger246 proof now or it isnt true
@@unknownjungle6247 tf do you mean proof? By the midpoint of the movie, she's already said at least a half-dozen gruesome things?? 💀
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. 😔
WAIT IT WAS A NOVEL????
I mean it makes sense they'd drop the pandemic storyline though in my opinion, given the world we live in. It's still a great companion piece that coexists with the novel.
I love the artstyle so much, it reminded me of concept art for movies with the more square/blocky lineless shapes that they use for paintings of scenes to figure out the lighting/atmosphere.
This film definitely gives on 2012 Tumblr vibes.
Then I found out the creator was a Tumblr artist/comic book artist and it all clicked. IIRC she was in high school or college when she came up with Nimona. Couldn’t imagine how grateful she was to see this film get released.
I totally agree with everything you just said but just letting you know the creator goes by he/them pronouns now
*he. Nate goes by he/him pronouns
he*
I'd edit the comment when you get a chance :)

The author is also the writer of She-Ra princess of power
Just watched it today and surprisingly was really good. Kinda sad this was blue sky’s last movie before they went out of business but overall not too bad. Kinda wish the animation was a little bit more polished tho lol
It’s based on the novel so the choppiness may be the point but it’s fair not to like it
Wdym the animation is amazing
i just appreciate the fact that they didn't make all these bits of represenation a whole key part of the film and only as a passive thing that happened in the main plot. Like Bal's and Ambro's relationship, it was just so naturally introduced. And the range of diversity in this film feels fresh. I'd rewatch it for sure.
“My sexuality is friend” is an aroace mood
In 2018 I did a work shop at my states uni where we met a bunch of Australian comic artists. I was doubting my own art skills and the guy we had for the day handed me Nimona. I remember him mentioning that a movie adaptation would be coming out in 2020, it didn’t of course and I’d have tho wait an extra 3 years, but god was it worth it.
10/10 sobbed hard
If you think Spilling the Milk thinks this is too gay, just remember this movie was nearly killed by Disney. After all, they’d rather have films where they can easily edit out gay characters for international audiences instead of, you know, doing something like this that’s actually somewhat decent.
Heck yeah! I loved this movie. Glad to see you guys are checking it out, it’s awesome!
*Nimona expresses she's had suicidal thoughts*

This movie was literally amazing and I shouldn't have waited so long to watch it, this review varely scratched the surface of it and people should watch it
16:22 it feels like Todd heard them insulting him
This movie hit me hard when i remember I read this as a graphic novel as a middle schooler. Sure it's not the same plot set up but the vibes and how they made the animation feel how I read it before. Love it.
This movie is, in my opinion, amazing. Its on the level of Puss in Boots 2 for me which is high praise.
Its so rare to see a movie balance everything *so well* .
The pacing is a little fast paced, but its just right for the amount of story they crammed into 1h 47 minutes.
The animation is spectacular and only enhances the comedy and action.
And while the plot isn't complicated or anything, hell they basically just give up on any intrigue just tell you who the villain is not even 1/3 of the way into the movie, but it doesn't NEED to be because the focus was on the characters and they *nailed it*
OH MY GOSH I WASN'T EXPECTING YOU GUYS TO REACT TO NIMONA BUT I AM SO GLAD YOU DID- IT'S SUCH A GREAT MOVIE AND I LOVE SM
Wild fact. This movie was stuck in film making hell. it was a web comic on tumblr that was contacted by Blue Sky who started making the movie, who was sold to Disney who then fired like everyone. But after some time Netflix was able to make a deal to get the movie made. It was a miracle this movie was made, and kinda explains why some parts are a bit jank.
The credits also have a ton, and I do mean a ton of people doing various things. Including a team dedicated to Nimona specific animation/effects.
There was also a Sweat Box team, which just look up Disney's emperor's New Groove Documentary to understand what that kinda means. Its not the best conditions to work, nor the most organized. But I'm glad they got credit and paid for their work.
Considering it got canceled at blue sky and changed studios to Netflix who has a bad reputation when it comes animation in recent times. The film is pretty lucky to turn out the way it did though I feel it may have needed a little more time to add some more flourishes I’m sure it wanted to have.
I enjoyed the movie, but liked the comic better. a bit more subdued, and I liked old bitter Ballister over this younger, more naive movie counterpart. still, pretty good. more hype for this than elemental or teenage kraken.
Yeah the comic is way better
I feel like y’all 3 specifically watching this together caused the worst imaginable viewing experience for the emotional scenes in the film… which is why I love watching these videos!!! But seriously y’all should check it out on your own or with a partner to better understand the uninterrupted feelings that the film wants you to have.
You love watching people be shitty and awful during emotional scenes? Why?
Yeah, that's what these guys are like with everything. Their whole thing is fast-paced obnoxious riffing for their twitch audience of 12-year-olds, while taking in less than 20% of what's actually happening. How they have a following on youtube by re-posting the twitch streams is beyond me.
Y'all relax is a children's film lmao
@@tdab3883 the film isn’t the issue in this equation.
@@tdab3883worst argument
I literally watched this yesterday.
It's good. Good moral of the dangers of the fear of other mentality.
It's also a bit weird, because the society is a mix of liberal in the best light & conservative in the worst way.
Yeah, that usually tends to be the case for big american animation these days.
Nah, it's like the Starship Troopers of left wing ideology, but ACTUALLY without a shred of self-awareness that Paul Veerhoeven would have injected. Just a self-pitying pathos story.
@@Soul-Sketched It's just kinda dumb that the director literally killed her queen because a commoner was going to be a night.
I find that more elitist than conservative IMO.
Also, the fact that they only recorded a sound bite from Nimona(Disguised as Ambrosis) confronting the director is stupid.
If they'd release the entire scene, the director would be screwed.
Also, they should've saved the video of the sword swapping on that computer thing they had at their base.
@@Good_Boy_3000 I think Ballister didn't want people to see Nimona was there, nor give any clues that he was the one that uploaded the video, also if people saw Ambrosius getting stabbed and then see he's fine somehow they're gonna think it's fake
Well that's unfortunately due to the media's liberal bias, after 2019. Liberals control basically all of media except for a few stations, and this has mostly impacted Disney. Causing them to use said messaging to make the sw sequels, phase four of Marvel, Indiana Jones 5, Pixar's film's after toy story four, and so on.
Dreamworks is actually the only major company still putting conservative values with characters in a good light. Which is why puss in boots was so good for 2022.
I'm so happy you're watching this!
I died when Eden called Ambrosius Markiplier 💀💀💀
To be fair the reason why most set pieces and renderings for the characters don’t look complete is because it was cancelled and then picked up again by netflix and they had a set time to be finished
I like that she turned into a pheonix at the end foreshadowing that she would come back. Also at the beginning when the director said to Bal "today everyone will see who you really are" foreshadowing her being the villan.
It’s nice to see that Nimona managed to be finished despite everything.
I should check this movie out when I have the time!
This was one of those films where I was turned off by the initial art and promo, that one still on Netflix where Nimona is grinning did it, then decided to give it another chance after some people talked about how great it was. Glad I checked it out, really fun movie and probably in my top 10 films for the year in terms of enjoyment. 2023 has been a great year for animation and surprisingly Disney hasn’t contributed to that greatness so far.
Kind of ironic how everyone calls Disney “woke” yet they’re the ones who shut down Blue Sky and almost killed this film for having gay leads.
Im really glad this was released for the sake of Blue Sky Studios. I didn't love most of their movies, but they didn't deserve to just be axed the way they were.

It's so cliche.

@@cosygoose1813yeah but still tho
I’m so glad you guys watched this I love this movie
I am so happy that nimona had been saved by Netflix so they can finish up the film that blue sky studios is almost done with
So happy to see a RUclipsr actually calling out how bad the pacing was in this. I love the movie, it’s definitely one of my favourites right now (if not just for Nimona being an icon and the entirety of what’s going on with her plot-wise being one of my Favourite Types Of Story Ever), but it feels like it’s just dragging us from scene to scene to scene right up until the 3rd act. There’s a lot of stuff that seems underdeveloped or unexplained. Like, I have no clue why Ballister switched from being so anti-destruction to supporting it from one scene to another, because Nimona and him never really had a chance to just… talk, on-screen? They never really bond past them working together and Ballister being monsterphobic. It would’ve been nice to have a scene or two of them just Chatting that’s more focused on showing who they both are as characters than pushing one of the 2 through lines of the story along (“what’s up with Nimona’s monster stuff?” and “we need to clear Ballister of murder” being the 2). Maybe a 5 or 10 minute scene right before the fight where Nimona turns into a dragon? It’d also give the movie some much-needed breathing room.
If it was supposed to be a show, I highly doubt it would even release. Shows take a much higher budget and make less profit in comparison to movies. I would appreciate if it was though.
Oh, yeah, a lot of the issues I’ve seen would be fixed if it *was* a show, but I’m not trying to say that that was actually achievable at all-I get that the situation for this movie was rrrreally rough, and I’m happy it came out at all, and that even with all the production issues it’s still super good!!! The pacing problems I have would definitely be fixed if it was a show, though.
I feel like this movie being a MOVIE instead of a show is a massive mistake. Some stories work better in show format and I think this is absolutely one of them. There were 3 or 4 different arcs in this movie-this could have made a really good 7 or 8 episode show. Compressing it all into one movie made it feel kinda rushed and clunky imo. This is one of the few stories that I really think would have benefited from being a lot longer than what we got. Still cute with a lot of soul tho.

I stated that I liked the movie, it was cute and full of soul, I just thought it would have worked better in a show format.

Is it because I opened with the criticism first and ended with a compliment, should I have written it the other way around?

1:50 That’s the voice of Shadow Weaver from She-Ra 2018, which shares the same creator as this movie.
I thought her voice sounded familiar but now that you said it I’m so surprised I hadn’t recognized it immediately
There are so many scenes in this movie that are better on a second watch, like how when she transforms into a little girl (10:19) when she sees that child, she doesn't just turn into any kid, she turns into the child version of _herself_
This may be the first time she's ever transformed into that version of herself for over a thousand years, and the kid reacts the same way Gloreth did, which I believe is Nimona's personal lowpoint in the movie... She showed her "real" self and was rejected yet again, in almost exactly the same way no less.
Or the scene where Ballister removes the arrow from Nimona's leg(not shown in this video)
When he pokes the arrow her leg spurts out a little blood, but then when he fully removes the arrow, there's nothing, not even any blood on the arrow tip itself... I fully believe she was making fun of him with the blood, but when she realized he was actually trying to help her(and also may be a little traumatized by blood thanks to a certain... missing arm), she stops doing it and shuts up.
I don't know about anyone else, but I really liked this... I started off skeptical, and there were a few points I almost turned the movie off, but once that feels started pouring in I was absolutely hooked. I need more of this... I need a second movie!(Or a TV series; but only if it looks good like the movie and doesn't pull a Dreamworks with the animation quality)

8:34 Actually right at the start of the movie he's trying to warn him about it but everyone was rushing through things to get prepared and pretty much got ignored/dismissed then she arrived (the woman who changed the swords) and they headed to the ceremony to become knights so he just didn't have the time.
4:41 Him mixing up a rhino and a hippo makes me think about the iCarly pilot
Honestly overall, the movie made me laugh, it had its wholesome moments and also made me cry a bit towards the end. A quirky movie indeed, but was interesting to watch
This movie is fantastic. I don’t notice the problems and don’t even care what ones people bring up bc it’s just that good
I can't get enough of your videos! Each one is better than the last. Keep up the amazing work and keep us hooked with your content
Yet another example of how Disney only supports LGBTQIA+ representation when it can be easily edited out for international releases. As soon as the representation becomes integral to the story, it gets axed.
No shit. Your point?
People need to stop asking Disney for representation in the first place. Movies like this prove that you don't need Disney. I'd love for the trend of seeking validation from corporations to end. Corporations don't value anyone.
@@vlo4829Is the opposite. Is the studios who greenlight the movies. The studios are the ones people should complain. But not only Disney, every studio.

I was once skeptical, but still decided to watch it. Now I wish we had gotten more from it and more projects from the studio :(
I really injoyed the movie but i do think it would have been better as a series. That way they could better flesh out the world more
Listen to the director carefully around 10:51 she legit pronounced the W in sword 😭 she called it a s-ward wtf
I really enjoyed this movie. I was surprised you tore it apart so ruthlessly! The visuals were odd, though; my wife said it fell too within the uncanny valley for her.
As a genderfluid and bisexual, this movie is my forever comfort
Honestly hearing them mention red vs blue now Really makes me want to see them react to it
Average Disney L for rejecting this
8:28 “SO WOMEN ARE EVIL????” EHLP ME
Love them but they didn’t get it at all and it made this very hard to watch.
The story is very special to me as a bisexual with depression and the anxiety and fear of being myself. The couple is 100% real and her depression is a part of the story as much as she is.
To hear a person you’ve watched/know say they want to die because they can’t change the way they are is the hardest thing I’ve had to hear from a movie.
+ this movie was passed by so many companies that the fact it was made was a miracle It was just too unique to be seen.
Not everything needs to be Spiderverse some things just need the space to be themselves. That includes Spiderverse to compare its animation to almost everything similar is running both stories and killing the perspectives of amazing and awful movies by making everything a “unoriginal animation”.
The story is for everyone and it’s allowed to be itself in the same universe as other good movies.
the futuristic fantasy setting is so cool. need more of that.

i had no idea this movie existed until a couple of days ago, but discovering Annapurna worked on it is a huge treat. i fucking LOVED Maquette and didn’t know they produced anything other than games. a must-add for my watchlist!

One thing I miss from the comic is Ambrosious had long hair
I believe technical difficulties on ambrosious' hair is why they change his hair style

LAST VID I TOLD THEM TO WATCH THIS MOVIE!!
Nimona is one of my favorite movies. If I could erase my memory just to watch Nimona for the first time again, I would 🥰
It flipped off Disney while providing some mature and dark themes. I definitely like the movie. It was an uphill battle the whole way to production, so I really don’t fault it for the simple plot, empty settings, and the one dimensional villains.
7:25 oh let me help YOU BY KICKING YOU ACROSS A FOOTBALL FIELD

Me too tbh this movie is a masterpiece but I hate how the comments expects the guys to take it seriously 😂
5:10 jack's scream here is so fucking funny to me
I think the reason I like this movie is because of how it reflects real life oppression, and the plot shouldn't just be seen as a basic adventure plot.
When Nimona at the end quite literally tried to end it, that shook me up, that's more than your average movie.
