Netflix’s new animated film NIMONA is action-filled, side-splittingly funny, affecting, and wonderfully animated. Chloë Grace Moretz and Riz Ahmed give two of the best voice acting performances in recent memory as Nimona and Ballister. It delivers its message of inclusion in a simple, but effective manner.
The screening I have attended at NYC’s Paris Theater included a Q&A with cartoonist/writer ND Stevenson, directors Troy Quane and Nick Bruno, producers Julie Zackary and Karen Ryan moderated by Ice Age director Chris Wedge. They detailed the unlikely story of bringing Nimona from the page to the screen.
Nimona is in select theaters now and will be on Netflix on June 30.
