Nimona

I've heard good things about it, might watch it today.

I don't like cartoons.

R2, that's your loss I guess. It's more than just hilarious though. It's a really good story. With really good characters.

I'm really trying not to spoil things. Anyway, everyone but R2 should watch it this week or next weekend, if you haven't already. It's really great.

I don’t like cartoon either, I’m an adult.

Is this the one with…

I loved it! So fun, surprising and touching. I was having a bit of a crap day when I sat down to watch it and it completely turned my mood around.

Fantastic vocal performances by the talented cast, gorgeous animation and production design and lovely music. I highly recommend it.

If you think adults can't appreciate and enjoy animated entertainment, then you're really missing out on being fully formed, well-rounded adult.

Aside: creator ND Stevenson is bipolar, bigender, ADHD, and transmasculin.

Yes, dear.

Now, go back and enjoy your cartoon!

IT'S A GRAPHIC NOVEL!

🤣🤣🤣

Sounds exhausting R8.

The movie is quite a bit of fun, with quite a bit of heart. I laughed out loud several times.

Did you spill your bosco?

Just finished it, such a cute and wholesome little movie. On the sillier side of things at times, but with a very imaginative world building and great visuals. And of course there's the gay knight lead, with no one in any way at any point making that into an issue. Very nice.

Nimona is clearly meant to represent gender non-conforming kids, so I don't now how that aspect will go down on DL.

The main message I think is to question what we as a society demonise and why. If it's because of tradition alone, then that needs to be inspected.

It's a beautifully constructed movie. And a really great movie about acceptance as well.

Anyone else watch this weekend?

Saw with my niece. We loved it!

ND (deadname Noelle) Stevenson also made the fantastic and gay She Ra & the Princesses of Power series.

"... I'm Nimona."

You want movies with gay characters, and HOT gay characters, and most of you are giving this movie a pass?

For shame! This movie is AWESOME. I've seen it twice, and I'm sure I'll watch it again.

Netflix posted the full movie on YouTube.

Huh.

It's such a good movie.

r23 It's not a knock against the movie, it's just a marketing strategy now that it's nominated for Best Animated Feature at the Oscars.
