Hey everyone hope you enjoyed the reaction!! See you tomorrow for a surprise movie!!
Will surprise movie be John Wick Chapter 4?
Hope you’re having a great day, Nick.
The prota look's like You 😮
Stuart Little 2 please 🙏
Is it Stuart little 2?
I love how the SECOND you realized Bal and Ambrosius are a couple, you were like, "Oh, that's why" in realization of why Disney shelved this 😂
time-lapse?
@@emma-lee5422 Idk man, I watched this two weeks ago. 😂 But it would've been near the beginning, I think around where Bal put his head on Ambrosius's shoulder.
I don't remember NIck's exact wording but my impression was the realization was with regards to why his requester wanted him to do it during Pride Month (?)
@@sathvamp1 He had pondered earlier in the video wondering a lot why Disney had shelved this movie, so that's why I kinda assumed the "That's why" comment was in regards to that, but it honestly could be either reason, lol. (The comment got hearted, so I'm assuming the Disney thing was the reason after all? Idk for sure though, it was pretty vague)
Not quite. This was a production under Fox before Disney acquired it. Generally all projects, except the big ones, are automatically shelved. 20th Century Fox was a massive studio to acquire.
I love that Bal has all the cliché signs of a villain. The black armor, the scar, the moustache. I feel close to him.
That one line, “I don’t know what is scarier. The fact that everyone in the kingdom wants to drive a sword through my heart. Or that sometimes, I just want to let them.” It really shows how much damage someone can do with only their words. And I don’t even know how to express how much that one line relates to me. To so many of us.
Oh I feel ya, that line hit way too close to home for me-
Oh. my. gosh. That line. Just READING it again made me literally cry for the 4th time in response to certain aspects of this movie, and for me especially, that's saying a LOT. The voice actor, just, yeah. Also, anyone notice they made the eye and head shape of the "monster" at the end similar to Toothless in "How to Train Your Dragon" (?). In fact, this movie was a FIRST for me in one respect: Historically, I've virtually never been able to cry to a RE-watch of ANYthing. But a day or two later of trying a re-watch of Nimona, certain scenes triggered an actually-even-stronger reaction from me.
Don't be so dramatic, it doesn't matter that you are a rubbish human being, why live off what they will say, it's so pathetic
Gloreth was Nimona's first friend and ended up founding an entire civilization based on hating her...
my biggest feeling from this film was "how can you be so cruel to make a child think about killing themselves"
Yup :( But also I noticed Gloreth was following along with the others' fearful reactions of the "different entity" (EVEN THOUGH the different entity did not actually initially do any harm). So it's also a comment on "Do your OWN THINKING"...
21:47 I like the way he says ah, it’s shame I have to go. Let me go.
Nimona is Blue Sky’s magnum opus and one of the best animated movies in years. The fact he got resurrected is a miracle. Blue Sky never dies.
And it's a huge kick to Disney's ego. The more they are outshined by other movies, the better.
Hopefully it's gonna inspire them to do better than that.
Who is he?
@@peterkim3370 I meant "it".
Shes basically a Phoenix. At the end she turned into like a flame bird, turned to ashes, and came back.
To answer your question! This movie had a rough history to get made, and it's adapted from a graphic novel. Blue Sky had originally been creating the movie when they went under and Disney bought the company. Disney was going to continue the film, but scrapped the project until Netflix picked it back up and I'm so, so happy they did! This movie is so special and has a message for so many people, queer or not! ❤
Dont forget to give a shout out to Annapurna, who actually was the company that saved and finished the movie! Netflix picked it up, but without Annapurna, Nimona would have never never actually been completed! I believe it's their first animated movie as well!
@@GummyDinosaursify Serious props to them as well, thank you for mentioning it!!
“Disney was going to continue”
Nah dude, they totally shut the studio down to kill competition. Don’t believe for a second they would continue work on the film.
Yeah. In your face Disney!
28:55 "Let's take that pooch for a walk" At the end, the way camera pans onto an empty game board with that dog Nimona was playing as, which she could easily turn into, was a somber and powerful moment. Top tier storytelling.
The thing is the squire was actually trying to tell the truth to Ballister when he said he wanted to take a picture with him before his knighting, but then he got interrupted twice by Todd and the director.
Nimona was such a delight! While it was a bit predictable, the likable characters and well executed message kept me engaged throughout! Definitely the best Blue Sky Studios film (even if Netflix picked it up)! Really glad that this didn’t get scrapped like Batgirl last year.
"I don't know what's scarier. The fact that everyone in this kingdom wants to run a sword through my heart, or that sometimes I just wanna let 'em." Not gonna lie, that line broke me. I did not expect them to go that deep.
This movie is an absolute masterpiece. I'm so glad Annapurna saved it and gave what was going to be Blue Sky's magnum opus a second chance. They have been avenged.
Oh. my. gosh. That line broke me to- more than once. Like I said before (in response to another comment that also mentioned that line) just READING it again made me literally cry for the 4th time in response to certain aspects of this movie, and for me especially, that's saying a LOT. The voice actor, just, yeah. Also, anyone notice they made the eye and head shape of the "monster" at the end similar to Toothless in "How to Train Your Dragon" (?). In fact, this movie was a FIRST for me in one respect: Historically, I've virtually never been able to cry to a RE-watch of ANYthing. But a day or two later of trying a re-watch of Nimona, certain scenes triggered an actually-even-stronger reaction from me.
21:47 I like the way he says “ah it’s such a shame I have to go. Let me go.”
I watched Nimona randomly one night and absolutely fell in love with it. I try to watch it at least once a day. Ballister and Ambrosius, I immediately fell in love with them and Nimona is just beyond amazing and chaotic. The message this story has is beautiful and this has definitely become my comfort movie.
The voice acting in this movie was perfect 👌🏾
This movie is one of the biggest surprises of the year, not just one of the best animated movie this year, but also one of the most important movie of the decade. This is how you make lgbtq+ representation movie, disney... BLUE SKY FTW!
Impossible not to cry... gosh... the fact their behaviour drove her to have such sad thoughts... she deserves all the love
You got that right, and I didn't even fully expect that aspect. I've had an appreciation for movies that have the potential to trigger intense emotions (ever since I saw "Inside Out", and felt firsthand the endorphins that can come along with tears). Upon my own first watch, I found it interesting how, even though it's rare for any movie to pull dripping tears from me, THIS one did! There must be something I find personally so cute and sad regarding an innocent shapeshifter that can turn into any animal and all they want is a friend... but they can't find one 😢 I didn't start to get emotional (or attached to any characters) until those scenes showing Nimona trying to mimic and join various animal herds without any success. I wonder how many viewers, like me, thought, "Aww you can come live with me and be my friend, and you can shapeshift all you want!"
In fact, this movie was a FIRST for me in one respect: Historically, I've virtually never been able to cry to a RE-watch of ANYthing. But a day or two later of trying a re-watch of Nimona, certain scenes triggered an actually-even-stronger reaction from me, so that was very surprising!
That ending scene of when Ballister answers the door.
That felt like a Monsters Inc. ending moment, but his reaction? I'm getting Spider-Man flashbacks! 😆
This movie means so much to me and others representation wise, with me being Genderfluid and Nimona saying *"But I'm not a girl," and "Now, you're a boy,"-"I am today."* And *"I shapeshift, and I'm free,"* And the whole movie being about how people treat people of the trans, non-binary and genderfluid community *"Some people may not be as accepting as me,"* The original writer of the book is trans! This is one of my favourite movies as of today, along with puss in Boots and beyond the spiderverse, I also LOVED the design of it so much! And I was really scared Goldenloin was going to die as well and I'm so happy to see you injoy it nick I hope you have a wonderful day!
The movie is about how people treat people who are just different in general 💜
While I am part of the LGBTQ+ community (Genderfluid, Pansexual and Asexual), I personally relate a lot more to this movie with having Disabilities and people treating me differently and nobody ever wanting to be my friend (or the friends I did have eventually all just turning their backs on me once they realized how different I am) and everyone hating me and quite literally calling me a monster and all kinds of other things because of it like even my own family doesn't accept me and I never understood why, especially as a child!
As an adult I came to terms with the very sad but very real fact that most people just don't like you when you're different, like they're afraid of the things that they can't understand or don't want to understand and they just chose to quickly attack us instead of actually taking the time to get to know us and educate themselves about our differences......
When Nimona was talking about how shape-shifting makes her feel, I related that to my gender fluidity, but I also mostly related that to my Autism (plus other disabilities/illnesses) and having to mask and hold in my real self all the time whenever I go outside just so I can at least try to fit in and not be treated like i'm not even a human being, but then coming back to where I feel the most comfortable (like at home) and finally being able to let go and throw that mask of and be 'free' to be who I really truly am 💜
While the basis of this movie is the LGBTQ+ community which I absolutely love, soooo so many other people and minority groups can also very heavily relate to this and if anything it actually just brings us all together and unites us as one in a way which is what I love the most about this movie and it's become one of my all time favourites too! 💜
I really wasn't expecting to cry or get emotional during this movie but OMG my room turned into the whole entire freaking ocean after this, I mean inclusive representation that can reach and be felt/seen/heard by pretty much all kinds of communities and walks of life like this is absolutely incredible and groundbreaking and is soooo so needed and important and I swear this movie will always mean the whole entire world to me and more 💜
Lmao sorry for the absolute novel and a half there!
Didn't mean for that to come out so long haha 🤣🙈
@@daisygirlmochi768 No that's ok! That's an amazing comment, thank you for telling me about your story it's always nice to know more! I hope you have an amazing day!
As someone who is just a straight, white guy... I found Nimona and Ballister to be incredibly relatable. I was vilified simply because I was the boy who didn't like to watch sports... or because I had a garden... or was into science before it was cool. It kills me every time I hear about a "good kid" committing suicide, and society is just so blind as to why. I cannot imagine what individuals like yourself have experienced... but I know the bullies who tried to stomp me out... and how little dirt they needed to justify their hatred. This world has a lot of growing to do, and this is exactly the movie we need... for anyone whose ever been abandoned or outcast. For anyone whose ever consoled a struggling friend... or stranger. This film is beautiful!
@@daisygirlmochi768 You are not alone! (That applies BOTH to being different, and the reaction you had!). I also was not (fully) expecting to cry in response to this movie... I thought it was POSSIBLE based on Nick's thumbnail, and I've had an appreciation for movies that have the potential to trigger intense emotions (ever since I saw "Inside Out", and felt firsthand the endorphins that can come along with tears). But upon my own first watch, I found it interesting how, even though it's rare for any movie to pull dripping tears from me, THIS one did.

Since you watch Nimona you should try check it out The Mitchells vs The Machines, Over the Moon and even Wolfwalkers. These three are really good to watch, specially the animation style and stories
CHRIST I love Wolfwalkers! This dude needs to watch literally any of Cartoon Saloon’s filmography!
You should also watch The Sea Beast. It's another really good Netflix movie
I love that the whole time, Nimona was the thing that the wall was supposed to protect them from, and she just walked around inside all the time.
Oh, Nick. If you're wondering who is playing Nimona with a familiar voice, she is voiced by the one and only, Chloe Grace Moretz.
And Ballister Boldheart is voiced by Riz Ahmed. He plays Dr. Carlton Drake AKA Riot from Venom.
None other than Hit Girl
Riz Ahmed is absolutely awesome. For me, his breakout role was Nightcrawler. Solidified his acting chops as the deaf drummer in Sound of Metal.
And also Ambrosius is voiced by Eugene from Try Guys
This movie really is an absolute masterpiece and is about how people treat people who are just different in general 💜
While I am part of the LGBTQ+ community (Genderfluid, Pansexual and Asexual), I personally relate a lot more to this movie with having Disabilities and people treating me differently and nobody ever wanting to be my friend (or the friends I did have eventually all just turning their backs on me once they realized how different I am) and everyone hating me and quite literally calling me a monster and all kinds of other things because of it like even my own family doesn't accept me and I never understood why, especially as a child!

Tbh the ending broke me, I can relate to it so much and the fact that Nimona wanted to kill herself at the end shows how she has been broken down her whole life, and wanted to end it broke me 😢
Her whole *thousand year long* life, might I add. She's "Gloreth's Monster," she's the source of the thousand year old legend
Me too and I was generally very surprised by HOW much it broke me... I've had an appreciation for movies that have the potential to trigger intense emotions (ever since I saw "Inside Out", and felt firsthand the endorphins that can come along with tears). Upon my own first watch, I found it interesting how, even though it's rare for any movie to pull dripping tears from me, THIS one did!

In fact, this movie was a FIRST for me in one respect: Historically, I've virtually never been able to cry to a RE-watch of ANYthing. But a day or two later of trying a re-watch of Nimona, certain scenes triggered an actually-even-stronger reaction from me, so that was very surprising!
This is one of the most powerful movies I've ever watched. It's almost painful how much it spoke to me as a trans woman with transphobic relatives. The parallels between Ballister constantly going on about how other people aren't accepting as he is and my father complaining about how it would affect him if I came out publicly. Also the whole chat after they crash the car about Nimona feeling worse when she doesn't shapeshift and the freedom when she does is so similar to how I feel about when I wear skirts or have my nails done. The fact that she "sure wouldn't be living" rings incredibly true to how I feel like I'm merely surviving when I'm not with my friends, who actually accept me for who I am, regardless of the fact that I'm still a long way from even getting on HRT. If anybody has read this all the way to the end, thank you so much for listening to my thoughts. Sincerely, Penelope
Wow, Penelope is a BEAUTIFUL name! You picked a good one! My name’s Jasper, your local trans boy in a very similar situation, just a younger version. I feel you. I’m in this with you.
@@one-onessadhalf3393 Thanks Jasper, you picked an awesome name. Remember that you're hella valid, stay strong
I love that you always get emotionally connected to the movies you watch, makes me emotional too lol
Me too- and this movie really surprised me in that aspect... I've had an appreciation for movies that have the potential to trigger intense emotions (ever since I saw "Inside Out", and felt firsthand the endorphins that can come along with tears).

Nimona can be seen as spiritual successor to the iron Giant.
. The title character is this powerful supernatural being who’s learning to become more human.
. Theres an outcast type human who acts as the moral compass of the title character.
. It’s themes of being of acceptance, being who you want to be, and friendship.
. The antagonist is this close minded authority figure, who’s filled with prejudice and fear.
. Even the ending is directly the same where the title character sacrifice themselves but comeback at the final scene of the movie.
Also with iron Giant asking the question of "what if a gun didn't want to kill?" (or something along those lines) - its the questioning part of who's the monster here that parallels the dangerous weapon in iron giant
And the answer is always humans. The difference being in iron giant, they use the weapons - but in both cases, they blame anything bad onto the monster/weapon and not them who have caused the whole mess from the beginning
No movie has managed to give me such whiplash like this one. It can shift from absolutely hilarious to heartrendingly sad so fast, and yet does so so smoothly that it doesn't feel awkward or out of place at all
As A Comic Fan I Love How This Movie Is Based Of A Graphic Novel And Decided To Turn Nimona Into A Movie Star Even Know The Movie Version Is Different Then The Comic Version But They Did Add References To The Comic
I'm pretty sure it's common for movie adaptations to change a few things from the original source I mean take Shrek for example.
You could absolutely cosplay as Ballister, it'd be so cute ❤
The movie's setting of a high-tech futuristic world combined with a medeival-like atmosphere is symbolic choice by the graphic novel's author Nate Stevenson.
It represents how despite how much our world evolves and moves forward, old-time issues from before such as discrimination remain ever-existent
Love watching ur reactions and no need to apologize for the delays.
This is one of the best Netflix movies I've ever seen ☺️. And I'm glad Nick did a reaction to this ❤
I'm finally watching this movie all the way through thanks to you! I'm glad an inclusive movie like this was finally made after being shit on by Disney TWICE.
The main romance is like a better version of Raya and Namaari; it's still enemies to lovers, but it's more than just heavy flirting during their battles. You genuinely feel the established relationship they have and it's amazing!! They also go a bit more into why they think and act the way they do, making their separation both more interesting and heartbreaking. I also really like that it's so nonchalant; I feel like a lot of us are at the point where we don't care what gender we date, so I'm glad they didn't treat the gay relationship here as such a shocking thing.
Nimona is also really good and funny. She's basically an animated version of me: punk rock aesthetic, chaotic neutral, and an animal person😅😆 I can definitely connect with her story as someone who identifies within the LGBTQIA+ and is on the autism spectrum.
Overall, just a really pretty, sweet, and groundbreaking movie!! ❤️🔥🤘🦾⚔️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Twice? I thought that it was once.
@@namelastnamefirst4520 Well, I say twice because it got shelved as a Disney film and was nearly canceled due to Disney shutting down Blue Sky.
Also Fun Fact about Nimona: This movie was under production for the last movie from Blue Sky Studio before Disney bought the company.
We appreciate your reactions. Keep working hard.
I loved your reaction, got me all emotional again.
TELL ME ABOUT IT- that "emotional AGAIN" aspect was a FIRST for me with this movie: I've had an appreciation for movies that have the potential to trigger intense emotions (ever since I saw "Inside Out", and felt firsthand the endorphins that can come along with tears). Upon my own first watch, I found it interesting how, even though it's rare for any movie to pull dripping tears from me, THIS one did. I didn't start to get emotional (or attached to any characters) until those scenes showing Nimona trying to mimic and join various animal herds without any success. But again, this movie was a FIRST for me in one respect: Historically, I've virtually never been able to cry to a RE-watch of ANYthing. But a day or two later of trying a re-watch of Nimona, certain scenes triggered an actually-even-stronger reaction from me. Then I cried again writing my own comment. Then again reading at least one of the other comments.
I've actually spent years searching for a personal "repeater-tearjerker," and I just may have found it.
Oh Nick, I just want to give you a hug 😭😭😭 I've been soooo excited for this video, thank you for posting this, your videos can be so comforting 🥰
I want to give him a hug too... AND give NIMONA a hug omg... and I needed a hug during certain scene (and after!) too myself lol. I'm not sure how much Nick cut out for RUclips, but I actually think I cried more than he did with this one (and it's RARE for a movie to do that to me!). I've had an appreciation for movies that have the potential to trigger intense emotions (ever since I saw "Inside Out", and felt firsthand the endorphins that can come along with tears). Upon my own first watch of "Nimona", I found it interesting how, even though it's rare for any movie to pull dripping tears from me, THIS one did. I didn't start to get emotional (or attached to any characters) until those scenes showing Nimona trying to mimic and join various animal herds without any success.

Then I cried again writing my own comment. Then again reading at least one of the other comments.
This movie’s development cycle could be summed up by the “I Lived Bitch” meme. Just wanted to put that out there
The fact you did a reaction to this is the ONLY way I knew this movie existed (I know... I "don't get out much" lol!). I've had an appreciation for movies that have the potential to trigger intense emotions (ever since I saw "Inside Out", and felt firsthand the endorphins that can come along with tears). But I usually need to see the full movie for it to do anything to me. SO, I waited until I saw the FULL movie BEFORE watching your reaction. (Amazing job with your reaction!) Upon my own first watch, I found it interesting how, even though it's rare for any movie to pull dripping tears from me, THIS one did! There must be something I find personally so cute and sad regarding an innocent shapeshifter that can turn into any animal and all they want is a friend... but they can't find one 😢 I didn't start to get emotional (or attached to any characters) until those scenes showing Nimona trying to mimic and join various animal herds without any success.

In fact, this movie was a FIRST for me in one respect: Historically, I've virtually never been able to cry to a RE-watch of ANYthing ("The Land Before Time" was an exception, probably because it had been 20 years lol). But a day or two later of trying a re-watch of Nimona, certain scenes triggered an actually-even-stronger reaction from me, so that was very surprising!
11:59 yo this amazing film is 100% metal nice choice to do a reaction
Love your videos!! Please put these films on your list to react to, it’s so worth it and I would love to see your reaction ♥️
- The Bodyguard
- Notting Hill
- Pretty Woman
- Ghost
- Five Feet Apart
- Matilda the Musical
I haven't seen five feet apart, but if it's the movie I am thinking of involving medical aspects, forget it- those things just freak me out.
But... Ghost? Wow that would [also] break him... it definitely broke me!
It’s kinda like similar how iron giant died but brought back
I find it interesting how, even though Iron Giant is apparently a notorious tearjerker for most people, that one didn't do anything to me personally... but man, THIS movie (Nimona) did! I still didn't start to get emotional (or attached to any characters) until those scenes showing Nimona trying to mimic and join various animal herds without any success. But that is when I really stated to feel for her / them. In fact, this movie was a FIRST for me in one respect: Historically, I've virtually never been able to cry to a RE-watch of ANYthing. But a day or two later of trying a re-watch of Nimona, certain scenes triggered an actually-even-stronger reaction from me. Then I cried again writing my own comment. Then again reading at least one of the other comments.
I don't care what anyone says. This movie is so awesome in so many ways. It's cringy, but funny. It made me laugh, shocked, and cry. Everything about it, just makes me want to watch it over and over. Like every time I watch it, I cry or laugh, because it's like I've watching it for the first time again! Also people saying it sucks, because it's lgbtq+ but haven't even watched it yet, need a life. Like we won't force you to watch it, but being homophobic on something you never seen is stupid. Plus the part where she says "I don't know what's scarier. The fact the everyone in this kingdom wants to run a sword through my heart, or that sometimes I just wanna let them" made me cry, because like it had such a deeper meaning. This movie is just 100/10.
Also can I say I'm so happy for Eugene (from the try guys and the guy who Ambrosius). Like I never thought he'll be apart of a movie or do VA. I'm literally so proud of him, especially since hes apart of the LGBTQ community himself.
Oh. my. gosh. That line. Like I said in my response to the first comment that mentioned "that line", just READING it again made me literally cry for the 4th time in response to certain aspects of this movie, and for me especially, that's saying a LOT. The voice actor, just, yeah. Also, anyone notice they made the eye and head shape of the "monster" at the end similar to Toothless in "How to Train Your Dragon" (?). In fact, this movie was a FIRST for me in one respect: Historically, I've virtually never been able to cry to a RE-watch of ANYthing. But a day or two later of trying a re-watch of Nimona, certain scenes triggered an actually-even-stronger reaction from me.
My first thought clicking onto this video: “he’s gonna cry his eyes out, I can’t wait :D” 💖💖💖
I could tell from the thumbnail, and that is WHY I sought out access to the FULL movie for a full watch of it for MYSELF first. For myself, I was not (fully) expecting to cry in response to this movie... I thought it was POSSIBLE based on Nick's thumbnail, and I've had an appreciation for movies that have the potential to trigger intense emotions (ever since I saw "Inside Out", and felt firsthand the endorphins that can come along with tears). Upon my own first watch, I found it interesting how, even though it's rare for any movie to pull dripping tears from me, THIS one did.

But a day or two later of trying a re-watch of Nimona, certain scenes triggered an actually-even-stronger reaction from me.
Then I cried again writing my own comment. Then again reading at least one of the other comments. I actually think (even with just considering my own first watch of it, which was interestingly less intense than my 2nd watch)... I think I cried harder than Nick did to this one.
When you change your character alignment from chaotic neutral to chaotic good.
I thought this film was amazing. I love that the answer to “Who/what are you?” was always “I’m Nimona”. Nimona didn’t want to be labelled from the outside or even be defined by what she could do. I also loved the theme that the real villain of the story was close minded narratives. In a way the Director was a victim too. She had been indoctrinated by her society’s narratives to see anything new or different as a monstrous threat. That’s why she was also against Ballister from the start. He was a commoner who broke a glass ceiling and was now among “the elites”. Goldenloins cut off his own boyfriend’s arm and Ballister, like Gloreth, questioned his own personal experience and relationship with Nimona- all because of being gaslit by someone else’s propaganda and narrative. I have to watch it again with my wife and daughters. I’m looking forward to talking about these themes with them and hearing what they think!
Yup :( I also I noticed Gloreth was following along with the others' fearful reactions of the "different entity" (EVEN THOUGH the different entity did not actually initially do any harm). So it's also a comment on "Do your OWN THINKING"...
I’m so glad you reacted to this movie. It hit me hard hard.
It hit me surprisingly hard! In fact, this movie was a FIRST for me in one respect: Historically, I've virtually never been able to cry to a RE-watch of ANYthing. But a day or two later of trying a re-watch of Nimona, certain scenes triggered an actually-even-stronger reaction from me. Then I cried again writing my own comment. Then again reading at least one of the other comments.
I just finished watching this movie and now I know why everyone loves it so much, the story was really enjoyable 💖 and I love the friendship between Nimona and Bal, they’re practically the same
YES! To quote Ambrosius, here comes the woo: WOOO!
18:59 when you look this movie in retrospective, you realize of that Ambrosius thinking: "stay away from my Bal, girl" 😂
In that moment, Ambrosius was feeling the true jealousy...
After I saw you post this vid I saved it and scrambled to go watch the movie first! And now im back to watch this 😊 I thought this movie was so fun, I adore the style and animation is so refreshing!
Was honestly wondering if you were gonna watch this movie, really glad you did! Keep up the awesome reaction
When Nick cries, I cry.
Personally, this movie surprised me because I was not (fully) expecting to cry in response to this movie... I thought it was POSSIBLE based on Nick's thumbnail, and I've had an appreciation for movies that have the potential to trigger intense emotions (ever since I saw "Inside Out", and felt firsthand the endorphins that can come along with tears). But upon my own first watch, I found it interesting how, even though it's rare for any movie to pull dripping tears from me, THIS one did. I didn't start to get emotional (or attached to any characters) until those scenes showing Nimona trying to mimic and join various animal herds without any success. In fact, this movie was a FIRST for me in one respect: Historically, I've virtually never been able to cry to a RE-watch of ANYthing. But a day or two later of trying a re-watch of Nimona, certain scenes triggered an actually-even-stronger reaction from me. Then I cried again writing my own comment.

I think I only just now realized that Nimona's final form was a phoenix, which is resurrected from its own ashes.
when the baby said sorry for kidnapping you, he was like, oh, and then next thing, you know, he says, or am I, and then he just got spooked that was funny
omg omg i'm so excited for this!!
This was the last Bue Sky movie that had the studio's stamp of approval, and ironically, I think it's their best movie.
If no one else does, I'm gonna say it: Nimona = Vanellope.
Also... 05:10 - 05:23 this is"The Green Mile"all over again. It's *SO OBVIOUS* he has been framed that it frustrates me how NO ONE questions it!X-O
This movie was really good it was also just a breath of fresh air
Side note: i came across a reviewer called crimson sins and he gave this movie 1.3 out of 10
I love your videos so much you have so much energy
Not gonna lie I was waiting for nick to get a hold of this one 😊 also I love Chloe grace moretz voice for nimona. It feels like I is as versatile as nimona, it can be deep and aggressive or soft and cute 😊
Ooh hope it's ferngully or strange magic 😊 love and appreciate all your videos though so it won't matter which movie it is 😊 hoping you'll react to sweet tooth at some point as well if you find the time
Your reaction is so cute omg
This is one of my new favourite movies! I hope you'll read the graphic novel if you can get a copy!
Hey Nick, since you saw Nimona, you should consider reacting to Spies in Disguise since the directors for Nimona also directed that movie as well.
Chloe Grace Moretz gave a wonderful performance as Nimona. Likewise Riz Ahmed as Ballister is an awesome choice.
Given the Medieval times crossed over with a futuristic era, it complements the setting nicely. The themes of us being so dependent on our technology that some people's dated beliefs are still stuck in an old era. Prejudice plays a huge role in this movie too.
I loved this movie. Be prepared with tissues is all I can say. I cried so much.
Me too, I cried so much I surprised myself... well upon my FIRST watch it was on the high end of average, BUT... upon a day or two later of trying a RE-watch, certain scenes triggered an actually-even-stronger reaction from me. Then I cried again writing my own comment. Then again reading at least one of the other comments. Even though I've had an appreciation for movies that have the potential to trigger intense emotions (ever since I saw "Inside Out", and felt firsthand the endorphins that can come along with tears)... it's relatively RARE for a movie to do that to me. Upon my own first watch of Nimona, I found it interesting how, even though it's rare for any movie to pull dripping tears from me, THIS one did! There must be something I find personally so cute and sad regarding an innocent shapeshifter that can turn into any animal and all they want is a friend... but they can't find one 😢 I didn't start to get emotional (or attached to any characters) until those scenes showing Nimona trying to mimic and join various animal herds without any success. I wonder how many viewers, like me, thought, "Aww you can come live with me and be my friend, and you can shapeshift all you want!"
But again, this movie was a FIRST for me in one respect: Historically, I've virtually never been able to cry to a RE-watch of ANYthing. But a day or two later of trying a re-watch of Nimona, certain scenes triggered an actually-even-stronger reaction from me, so that was very surprising!
I should be able to watch this on Netflix real 🔜
Alright! I was hoping for you to see this!
I feel like some people would become blind from the exsplosion light
Nimona reminds me of Deadpool a chaotic mess of adorableness
this movie was just so good possibly one of best animated movies i seen in long time togeter with last wish
When I first watched this movie, I cried seeing the kiss between Ballister and Ambrosius. I think this was the first ever animated kids movie that showed a kiss between the same sex. So as a bisexual non-binary (he/they), this movie is now on my top 10 favorite movies.
Also, I was an emotional mess during the end of the movie, mostly because of seeing Nimona's backstory.
10/10 (secretly an 11 to me)! Would recommend!
Oh gosh, I was also an emotional mess... and that's actually rare for a movie to do that to me. I've had an appreciation for movies that have the potential to trigger intense emotions (ever since I saw "Inside Out", and felt firsthand the endorphins that can come along with tears).

you look a bit like Ballister 🤣
It means he handsome
@@hedgehog07productions91true!
I loved the Graphic novel sooo much. The movie is a bit different but it’s still amazing ❤️
Yeah it was so different but I'm not surprised since Marvel movies weren't even accurate to the comics.
i just realised they built buildings outside the wall at the end of the movie
If you looking for other good disney sequels to watch since you saw a couple of them, I would recommend these:
- 101 Dalmatians 2: Patch's London Adventure
- Lady and the Tramp 2
- Tarzan 2
- the movie pilot of Buzz Lightyear from Star Command
- Stitch the movie and Leroy & Stitch
- Pocahontas 2
Best movie I’ve ever seen in my life.
Will the surprise movie be Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 3?
I watched its totally cody's reaction to this an hour before the one !!!
Timotheereacts and then It's Totally Cody (Nimona reactions) are next on my watch list (that's just the order in which I discovered them lol) :)
I'd love to see you react to Shin Godzilla sometime! (preferably the english subtitle version lol)
I find it kinda funny how at 7:39, you confused Todd for Ambrosius XD
"during pride month" It was released on the last day of June. It would've been nuts to expect it the day it dropped.
Yeah they wanted me to release it on the 30th of June haha, i've done some same day releases before, so he was just asking.
Fantastic ❤
I friendily suggest this NOSTALGIC film from the '90s. The Little Rascals. I think you would enjoy it.
This and Spider Verse 2 are definitely in my top favorites and easily could win BAMOTY.
one series that i think nick should check out is firefly, only 14 episodes but worth it in my opinion. there is also a movie called serenity that ties the story together at the end. i also think nick should see the prequels to star wars. some may argue that that they suck, but i feel that he should at least give them a try.
Based on another reactor I follow plus suggestions from a friend... the entire Firefly series PLUS especially "Serenity" is ON MY LIST :)
Not him thinking tod was bals boyfriend when Nimona first arrived
Surprise movie is the goonies (1985).
i want a compilation of awwws from his videos!!!
how does the giant monster nimona feel a robotic arm through all that mass?
My only problem with this movie is two fold.
One: Not enough of the boyfriends
Two: soundtrack not METAL enough.
I love this so much ;-;
I enjoyed your reaction, but the fact that you kept calling her a monster means you missed at least part of the message of the movie.
Nimona is an allegory for trans people, specifically in their case, a non binary trans person. When balester called them a monster, they vehemently said "don't call me that", akin to calling a trans man a woman, or a trans woman a man. Every chance thet got, they rebelled against that label. Their answer every time to "what are you? " was the same every time "im nimona".
Did Nimona get reborn in the end? 😀💖
This is such a powerful movie
how does goldenloin wich is the worst name ever not die from the the green laser?
best animation
I’m a trans kid in America, and this movie means so much to me. It is very clear that this movie is an allegory for institutional oppression, specifically for trans people, but it isn’t just another suffering story, and that’s what I love about it. The trans coded character isn’t just a whole bunch of trauma in a trench coat, she’s allowed to have fun and be happy while still being a very emotionally resonant character. This year has been rough for me, but this film is just the perfect breath of fresh air. 🏳️⚧️❤️🤘
Good luck on your journey mate. Here’s hoping things get better in the future all around the world. (Greetings from UK)

Yup, tell me about it! I actually was not (fully) expecting to cry in response to this movie...
