Nimona: Trailer Talk

A trailer that made a surprise appearance was for the adaptation of ‘Nimona’.

Based on the graphic novel of the same name, ‘Nimona’ follows a shapeshifting villain who goes on a special mission with the villainous Lord Ballister Blackheart. Their mission: to prove to the kingdom that Sir Ambrosius Goldenloin and his buddies at the Institution of Law Enforcement aren’t the heroes everyone thinks they are.

With a chaotic storyline as above, it comes as no surprise that the trailer for the animated film follows a similar pace and tone. But it’s also a relief to see it come to life after its troubled production. Originally starting development at Blue Sky Studios (‘Ice Age’, ‘Rio’), the film halted production when Disney shut the studio down in 2021. The film was then picked up by Netflix, where production slowly continued, so it’s amazing to see the film finally see a release at all.

And, while I have yet to read the comic, ‘Nimona’ looks like a lot of fun. The animation style is incredible; after all the standard CGI animation styles that a lot of Disney films have used, it’s really nice to see various animated films branch out and utilize different styles.

It’s amazing to finally see the adaptation of ‘Nimona’ come to life. The film looks colourful, vibrant and a lot of fun with an interesting lead character. And the storyline of a shapeshifter and a villain going on a quest is fantastic; it’s rare for a film to be from the point of view of a villain and it’s a narrative style I love. It’s a film I am unexpectedly excited for.
