Nimona

Product Information

What do you mean, there are rules? Why would you follow the rules? Isn't that the whole point of being a villain? That you don't follow the rules? Can I at least kill Sir Goldenloin? The one guy who keeps messing up all your plans?" [20] Patton, Emma (December 2018). "Nimona". Children's Book and Media Review. 39 (8): 1. Archived from the original on October 14, 2020 .

She is the result of an experiment gone wrong (or possibly right), and then either breaks free or is released.So I think it really is about this almost, like, radical acceptance of seeing someone not necessarily for all that they are - with a character like Nimona, who is almost impossible to know every part of her, but telling them that you will be there for them. It means the world to me specifically when someone is willing to do that. And I really hope that this movie leads to those conversations. But also, it's just, like, a really fun movie. I hope that's coming across. It has so much love in it and so much heart and it's just a really, really great time. Clark, Travis.

In the movie, Ambrosius is a descendant of Gloreth, a legendary female knight whose monument holds a sword to defend against the presumably monstrous forces outside the kingdom's high, stone walls. She's such an icon of the kingdom that its residents swear by her and determine their politics based on what they assume she might think, as some Americans do our founding fathers.

DETROW: What would you say to any kids or even adults watching "Nimona" who relate to these themes of looking for belonging, of knowing you're something different than you're being pegged as, and especially in this moment in time? It was initially intended for a 2020 release which was then pushed to a 2022 release. Production was already underway when Disney acquired Fox, and in February 2021 it was announced that Disney, which already has Pixar and Walt Disney Animation, would shutter Blue Sky. Laman, Douglas (February 10, 2021). "Disney's Blue Sky Shut Down Leaves Nimona Film 75% Completed". Comic Book Resources . Retrieved February 16, 2022. Stevenson’s insistence that Nimona remain recognizable in the movie extended to aspects of her character design, color scheme, and movement. “One of the things that was really important to me was her body type,” he said. “She’s chubby and she’s curvy, but she’s never sexualized, and she’s gender-nonconforming. She just has her own unique style. She chooses to look this way. And so that was something I just really wanted to make sure — no matter how much [the story] might change in the adaption, that that was something that stayed true.”A disgraced knight, unjustly blamed for a murder, joins forces with an outcast teenage girl. He hopes to clear his name. She just wants to cause some chaos. And she’s well equipped to do so: Nimona (voiced by Chloë Grace Moretz) is a shape-shifter. She can effortlessly morph from rhino to eagle, whale to mouse. She is sparky fun: an irreverent antihero with a talent for destruction. Unfortunately, she’s also the very monster that the knight, Ballister Boldheart (Riz Ahmed), has been trained to kill. As a reader, I’m thankful that new media allows for so many ways for stories like this to be told and distributed, and for talented storytellers like Stevenson to find an audience. Nimona is a high-energy, bloodthirsty, murdurous young female - but also cute and at times vulnerable. Very exciting. Haasch, Palmer (August 22, 2018).

But there is something particularly universal in the complicated dynamic between these two men, who see the world in radically different ways and are both struggling to just make the other one listen. And there’s a real satisfaction in the work they have to do to reconcile, and especially the work Ambrosius has to do to atone for his choices.
