I loved the walk towards Gloreth's statue that Nimona did. At first you hear her screams of pain as roars of anger from a mindless monster but as she continues walking you start to hear the human in her come out, the thousand years of pain and loneliness but the only people who truly hear it are Balister and us the viewers.

@@MrFelbloodBlud….It’s a rampaging Kaiju…..I think it goes without saying she killed a few people off of her mere existence. The point is the knights are only making the problem worse.
I love this movie. She went through centuries of loneliness and had so much love and affection to give, but only to be viewed as a monster that everyone wants to run a sword through her heart that she turned into a monster that only wanted to end herself and her suffering. She was ready to make herself fall into the tip of the statues blade to kill herself. Giving them what they wanted. She didn't even attack anyone, just walked and smashed things that kept calling her a monster.
Valerin, I think, was clearly losing her mind throughout the film. This "dream" of hers, talking about a "crack in the wall" that just kept getting bigger and bigger. I mean she did the unthinkable and killed the Queen, whilst framing an innocent man whom that Queen had supported despite how he was of poor upbringing. Honestly, all things considered, you'd think such an institute would gladly accept students despite any and all backgrounds. I mean, the noblemen would get first pick of the positions obviously. But the more the merrier in terms of amassing an army. They can't all be noble-blood.
I think that's the main part of the film that I love, they omit that gloreth was a commoner, we get shown that the director has more belief in her nonsensical dreams than any actual fact and she just keeps loosing grip. It's how most people in power go. Whether they stated good or not, if you don't look at things how they are NOW then nothing serves any purpose other than you fulfilling some made up personal fantasy of "killing the monsters"
@@R3D-3Y3Z Not to play the Devil's advocate but part of the fear of monsters is born from the fear of the unknown but probably that if Nimona who is not a monster but can shapeshift into one, there must have been someone like her who actually did damage too, and was actually evil once. There are tons of tales about monsters who use their charm to lure, trick or kidnap humans to do who knows what. I'm not saying that Nimona did anything wrong here, since we're seeing things from her point of view, but the knowledge the citizens has been fed with makes them fearful. Of course the Director, being the manipulator she was, was at fault (I like to imagine that in her afterlife, she'll be killed time and time again by the queen in the same knight vs monster position)
You know the director said ever since she was a girl she had feared cracks within the wall of her precious city and yet everything she did only lead to those cracks being formed, to quote a wise old turtle, One often meets his destiny on the path he takes to avoid it.
So she turned into a phoenix, died, and came back just like a phoenix should? Her shapeshifting reminds me of a character from the Xanth novels I read as a kid. Prince Dolph. He was a shapeshifter that gains the actual magical abilities of anthing he turns into, even if that thing doesn't exist in his world. Aside from the color, her shifting seems exactly the same.

I think that after this the institution was shut down, the Knights played more of a threat and probably killed way more people than Nimona ever could bring herself too
Upon a second viewing all becomes clear. This scene when she first meets Balister is basically re-enacted in the last scene in the movie, complete with the "Hey, Boss!" and we now understand what Balister sees at the end.
It may be just me but the Director attempting to wipe out half of the kingdom just to kill someone reminds me a lot to what Craft did near the end of Mega Man Zero 4 (except he actually did decimate the center of Neo Arcadia and failed to kill the villain)

I still absolutely love this film, especially when you analyze the small things of the film and you realize the intentions of the writers. For example: the director being prepared to kill half the kingdom just to kill something that has already shown itself to not be a threat just because it goes against the traditional way of life she was taught as a child. Sound familiar?
No, not even remotely. because there's nobody here willing to destroy a city for their beliefs,, HOWEVER, there are people right now willing to murder their political rivals, willing to use the FBI and DOJ to silence their political rivals, willing to rob, lie, cheat, and steal from their constituents to launder money to a war we shouldn't be involved in, or mutilate children who think they're another gender when they're not even old enough to vote, drive, smoke, drink, get a tattoo, live on their own or hold down a job. Who's plans and policies have pushed the country and most of the world into a fucking depression that "isn't happening" despite every economist from one side of the world to the other saying,, "yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus". Oh wait,, there are people here willing to destroy cities for their beliefs,,, they have acronyms like BLM and Antifa who oddly enough seem to keep getting away with literal murder in some cases while just being outspoken against mutilating a child's genitals gets you kicked out of press conferences and if you're a parent, you get labeled a domestic terrorist. Yes Virginia,, there is a Santa Claus. I keep using that little term because it's really the only thing you're going to understand.

We allow fear and prejudice cloud our judgement and decisions. But putting in the work makes it better. To quote Kirt Wagner aka Nightcrawler. “Back in the Munich, circus, when people saw me with fear. I do not hate them, I pity them. Because most people will never see beyond with their own eyes”.
The only thing that disappointed me about this movie is the lack of development in Nimona's origins. What's her true form? Is she the only one of her kind, if yes, what happened to the others? To her parents, if they ever existed ? Why is she the only * monster * mentioned? In the time of Gloreth, when she created the elite of knights, what kind of monsters were there, or was it just shapeshifters like Nimona? Did they ever slain other monsters, or they just created an elite force for nothing since Nimona was the only one of her kind...? So basically creating an army of knights and a wall out of pure fear... Maybe it's just me 🤔🤣 but I loved the movie, it's morals, jokes and animation 🤩
@@JedioftheRose it would be a human being... Just like my question. Is her original form a human one? Or a mystical creature, like the Pheonix we saw maybe or the black smoke beast she turned into? Or maybe even an animal? That's what I meant... Not a hard question.... 🤷🏻♀️ That's why I wished we had more backstory, that's my only critique. More backstory because of how great and interesting the lore of Nimona is :)
Yes, I've enjoyed re-watching this several (12, 13?) times already and some things seem clear concerning the story and background. While her origins are unexplained in this movie, I think we can be confident that any sequel should touch on this information as we do want to know. Her first human friend was 'Gloreth' herself, and since the child version of Gloreth was directed by adults to treat her like a monster and she then created the knights institute, the whole society closed up behind the walls for a 1,000 years and 'thought' there were more monsters out there when likely there was nothing but Nimona (who probably spent a lot of time INSIDE the walls anyway). So, we can only speculate as to Nimona's origins, but maybe in the next one, we learn there's more to this that we don't know about. I hope so.
I love this movie, but I wished they went deeper into why the queen didn't have Nimona's back when they were kids. In my eyes, I thought they were gonna build up a emotional scene to where it was just Nimona and Valerin. Not a straight up kill scene lol. Overall I still like it
You answer your own question. The queen was a **kid**, that's why, that's the only reason. She saw the bigotry and hatred of the adults in her life directed towards Nimona and thought that must be the right way to react. It's an allegory for how children aren't born as racists, homophobes, transphobes, etc., but they become that because they see the adults acting that way.
@@NathanielTavington I get that, but the way they were building it up like the scene where the queen was researching her or shocked that she was still alive. It was almost as if the queen wanted to reconcile or wanted to have the last talk before killing her
You are mistaking three different characters. (In part probably because this channel is confusing characters.) Nimona's childhood friend was Gloreth. By the point the film and Ballister's story take place, Gloreth is long dead. Ambrosius is said to be her descendant. The queen is killed at the beginning. Which means for most of the film she's also dead. The antagonist of the film is the Director of the Institute.
@@beth12svist OH thank you. Yeah I am mistaking the Director for Gloreth. That makes more sense. I completely forgot about Nimona's immortality when I first watched the movie 😅. Still I wished that more dialouge together like some passive agressive trash talk lol
You need a better title for this posting. First of all, Queen Valerin was already dead because of the Director and Nimona has nothing to do with this!!!
This has so many levels in it. First is like star treck first contact thing. She showed herself to a pre-civilization and literally caused a millenia of cultural disortion even after likelly never touched it again durring that time. Thats why first contact is really risky. The other is obvious a jesus like thing, a random stuff became a religion. like the bible and someone started to took it seriously and stuff. acceptance of genders and sexuality is there. Nimona could very well be a defunct caretaker from a race that modifide itself to be immortal and the ability to blend in to any ecosystem's life. Defunct because her behaviour probably not ment to be, especially the lonelliness. She could also be smiply a tool with the same agenda and the same defect. The story suggest she literally lived trough the entire evolution cycle from multi cell organisms onwards, so she very likelly be a billion of years old not just at least 1000, which would be metal since even Kang from Loki was like 100.000.000 only. 10 times younger.
Well he was an arrogant asshole. That does not mean he was evil. I mean u cant kill everyone who is a jerk, then there would be no redemption arks in stories.
Some things I don't understand is why Galorath treated Nimona the way she did instead of fight for her. She almost immediately shunned her out despite knowing Nimona meant no harm what so ever to the people. And why was Galorath was practically glorified for just picking up a swlrd being only what 10 years old? What else happened tbat wasnt shown in the movie that is important to the story. Why didn't they expand past the wall? How do they have vast knowledge of different animals because of this? Why was the president or whatever so convinced there was a monster in the walls deapite there being no evidence other than a dream? Why do they only have noble borns as knights even though they know Galorath was a commoner? If Galorath was so glorified why wasn't her bloodline kings and queens of the village/city but knights instead? Are there others like Nimona and if so where are they and if not, why not? Why is the statie of Galorath an adult even though they know she was a child at the original time? How did they advance so fast in 1,000 years technology wise?
Nimona is much older than her. She’s a shapeshifter so can be any form she chooses, including that of a little girl. Her little girl form is probably closer to her true form as in many ways she’s as innocent as a little child and just wants to be loved. As for the almost immediately shunning bit despite knowing better…all you need do is look at the present day. Look large portions of various religions to see how people could be indoctrinated to hate and fear things despite having experienced evidence to the contrary. Look at how some people take that hatred to extremes by legislating against people’s very existence or even directly violently who then get those indoctrinated people to enthusiastically support it (see what’s being done against LGBTQIA+ [particularly trans people], BIPOC, Jewish [antisemetism], the list goes on). Why didn’t they expand? When you think about it, keep ‘em in the dark, keep ‘em fearful and hateful and they are easier to control. Why was she so convinced there was a monster in the walls? Well she was right, it’s just that the monster was Galorath, not Nimona.
I loved the walk towards Gloreth's statue that Nimona did. At first you hear her screams of pain as roars of anger from a mindless monster but as she continues walking you start to hear the human in her come out, the thousand years of pain and loneliness but the only people who truly hear it are Balister and us the viewers.
Nimona’s hatred was 100% justified. She tried to be friendly but the humans only viewed her as a monster and didn’t think further.
I mean.. lets be real though, they are human, it's natural for us to fear and hate things we don't understand and can't control.

Nimona's childhood friend was Gloreth. By the point the film and Ballister's story take place, Gloreth is long dead. Ambrosius is said to be her descendant.
The queen is killed at the beginning. Which means for most of the film she's also dead.
The antagonist of the film is the Director of the Institute.
@@beth12svist OH thank you. Yeah I am mistaking the Director for Gloreth. That makes more sense. I completely forgot about Nimona's immortality when I first watched the movie 😅. Still I wished that more dialouge together like some passive agressive trash talk lol
I love this movie
Also the ending really reminds me of Iron Giant
BRO THE DIRECTOR IN THE LAST SCENE LOOKED LIKE SHE WAS CRAZY
Well technically She Is
Spoiler if u didn't Watch:
_killed Queen because of a Nightmare
_framed a poor guy
_about to kill citizens
6:48. Did you cried in this scene
I think that Valerin is just like the queen from Maleficent 2 tried to get her way from using fear.
Good video...yet cuts short good moments
Bro when he saw her alive she said"HOLY SHI-"💀
That wasn’t Queen Valerin. Queen Valerin was dead. That was the Director lady.
That is awesome ending
The holly 💩💩💩 at the end gets me😂
Ballister: I'm sorry Nimona 😞😭
THE END GOT ME😂
holy shit is that the Banana Splits theme during the dragon scene?? I loved that show as a kid
Very sad that Nimona is still not alive at the end of Nimona.
She is revived in the end.
She lived. As a phoenix, she was reborn from the ashes.
FOB phoenix
Shhhh spoilers
Hey, no worries. She's alive at the end.😊❤
2:28 IS THAT THE TRA LA LA SONG FROM THE BANANA SOLITS!? 😀
You need a better title for this posting. First of all, Queen Valerin was already dead because of the Director and Nimona has nothing to do with this!!!
Feels funny saying this since everyone else is actually saying cool stuff but I love how the moving just ends with HOLY SH-
I love the way he cursed at the end of the video😂
I can wait to see part 2 love it movie 🎬 🎞 🎥 🎦 📽 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'll admit i balled like a baby, then cackled like a maniac. Wicked all the way through.
was this opening music in the film? Because I immediately recognized it from Kipo and I love it!!!
Me too
Same here
Queen Valerin? Her death started all this.
7:03 me when im on top of the mountain
Nimona movie if it was a kaiju defence movie 5:51
7:42 Bal can say goodbye to that foolish Director, Nimona will die along with her.
They seriously used The Dickies cover of *The Banana Splits Theme?!*
Seems like it
i really wished they made a second movie
2:53 was that Amanda?
7:04 and what she was about to do…
Are we sure this is supposed to be a kids movie!!!!
The best "kids'" movies are the sort a guardian should watch with them and discuss afterward. So yes.
Nimona said "Nah, that's a cute attempt though you cute lil bitch!"
Nimona Like Mr Piranha And Harley Quinn have a Baby
homen aranha atraves do aranha verso KKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
?
Sí, se parecen bastante
the ending reminds me spiderman with tom holland ending
Me, too.
ненавижу когда отрывки вставляют рандомно, а не по порядку
8:06 HOLY SHI-
Was nimona born in 1 st century?
Who is the monster, who the man?
Watch the movie
kinda wanted one of the kids at the park to be nimona and they had adopted her.
It wasn't the queen that Nimona had to fight
Bro Speedrun the movie 😅
Its so sad they'ed want to kill such a beautiful creature
Flag Man: “Lads Protect M-“
0:19 how old do you think i am
i dont knowTEN (without space XD)
So.... When does the Queen even meet Nimona? This clickbait - I dont even lol
For a brief second when I saw the thumb nail I thought he broke her neck.
This has so many levels in it.
First is like star treck first contact thing. She showed herself to a pre-civilization and literally caused a millenia of cultural disortion even after likelly never touched it again durring that time. Thats why first contact is really risky.
The other is obvious a jesus like thing, a random stuff became a religion. like the bible and someone started to took it seriously and stuff.
acceptance of genders and sexuality is there.
Nimona could very well be a defunct caretaker from a race that modifide itself to be immortal and the ability to blend in to any ecosystem's life. Defunct because her behaviour probably not ment to be, especially the lonelliness. She could also be smiply a tool with the same agenda and the same defect. The story suggest she literally lived trough the entire evolution cycle from multi cell organisms onwards, so she very likelly be a billion of years old not just at least 1000, which would be metal since even Kang from Loki was like 100.000.000 only. 10 times younger.
People are jealous of the shapeshifter life
Todd didn't deserve to make it after all he did
Well he was an arrogant asshole. That does not mean he was evil. I mean u cant kill everyone who is a jerk, then there would be no redemption arks in stories.
Hurry before the whale gets here
"Superman..."
Good comparison.
0:58 how the fuck did she find out about that?
She sounds like Ellie from last of us
Maybe same voice actress
This movie deserve a oscar & negative opinions are like assholes everyone has one The movie 🍿 Rocks its a a kickass 👏👏👏🤩🤩👏👏👏
HOLY SH--
-by your dear ballister
She can turn into different creatures but cannot do the right colors...
She is a female Beast Boy but she is more funny :)
I'm pretty sure Nimona is either a god, or full on forest spirit.
Some things I don't understand is why Galorath treated Nimona the way she did instead of fight for her. She almost immediately shunned her out despite knowing Nimona meant no harm what so ever to the people. And why was Galorath was practically glorified for just picking up a swlrd being only what 10 years old? What else happened tbat wasnt shown in the movie that is important to the story. Why didn't they expand past the wall? How do they have vast knowledge of different animals because of this? Why was the president or whatever so convinced there was a monster in the walls deapite there being no evidence other than a dream? Why do they only have noble borns as knights even though they know Galorath was a commoner? If Galorath was so glorified why wasn't her bloodline kings and queens of the village/city but knights instead? Are there others like Nimona and if so where are they and if not, why not? Why is the statie of Galorath an adult even though they know she was a child at the original time? How did they advance so fast in 1,000 years technology wise?
Nimona is much older than her. She’s a shapeshifter so can be any form she chooses, including that of a little girl. Her little girl form is probably closer to her true form as in many ways she’s as innocent as a little child and just wants to be loved.
As for the almost immediately shunning bit despite knowing better…all you need do is look at the present day. Look large portions of various religions to see how people could be indoctrinated to hate and fear things despite having experienced evidence to the contrary. Look at how some people take that hatred to extremes by legislating against people’s very existence or even directly violently who then get those indoctrinated people to enthusiastically support it (see what’s being done against LGBTQIA+ [particularly trans people], BIPOC, Jewish [antisemetism], the list goes on).
Why didn’t they expand? When you think about it, keep ‘em in the dark, keep ‘em fearful and hateful and they are easier to control.
Why was she so convinced there was a monster in the walls? Well she was right, it’s just that the monster was Galorath, not Nimona.
It look familiar... it maleficent movie, betrayed by friend
It's...not unheard of, though?
@@rhiacorvalis4302 magical creatures friend with royal person
Sound familiar
I’m gonna have to goo get examples of every movie that Maleficent was similarly based off now huh?
Man is really sad I but I love is part: 8:06
