The whole thing comes with the kind of stylized, fast-moving, “teen artist playing with style and self-insertion” flavor as Netflix’s previous animated movie The Mitchells vs. This early look only features a small amount of actual animation from the film - mostly, it’s a jaunty framing story where that shape-changing girl, Nimona (voiced by Chloë Grace Moretz), draws herself into a Disney-style classic fairy tale in order to mock it - and set a Disney princess type and her entire castle on fire. Netflix announced in April 2022 that it was picking up the project and completing it, and now, the streaming service has released the first teaser for the film. (A Blue Sky employee told Business Insider last year that Disney “systematically censors queer content,” implying the film was shut down because it features a gay couple as two of its leads.) The movie was originally in production at Blue Sky Studios (home of the Ice Age movies), and it was months from completion when Disney - which had acquired Blue Sky’s parent company, 20th Century Fox - cancelled the project. It’s been a long road to the screen for Nimona, the animated adaptation of ND Stevenson’s webcomic-turned-graphic novel about a wronged knight in a wild sci-fi techno-future, and the shape-changing girl who declares herself to be his sidekick.
