Watched Nimona on Netflix. I never read the graphic novel / book, although when I compared synopses after, it looks like a chunk of the plotting was changed. (The book is more nuanced and into more unique plotting, the film is geared towards a 100 minute animated film that a kid has to follow.)
Apparently this had been well-along in production and then Disney bailed after they bought Fox, canceling it. They didn't like the more overt LGBT elements (although frankly the entire movie is queer-coded in a big way -- not a surprise, the writer is queer / non-binary / transmasculine) apparently and bailed. [Yeah, don't ask me what's going on with Disney. They fight with DeSantis over LGBT things, turn around and ditch projects for being too LGBT, or just throw in token LGBT stuff just to get by.]
I'm kind of glad Annapurna brought it back because I feel like it's a bit different enough to deserve exposure. The first 30 minutes was kind of bouncing all over and Nimona was kind of annoying, but then it settled in to its own form of humor and got much deeper as well and has relevance to current social conflicts. I think it's also a big deal to show how a legend or myth might be very different and much smaller in scale than the retelling centuries later, but people still cling to it.
But for every kid that feels different or person who has felt rejected for not meeting the institutional standard, this is for you.
