Heading to Netflix this summer is a new animated movie called Nimona. The film – based on the best-selling graphic novel by ND Stevenson – follows the story of Ballister Boldheart, a knight framed for a crime he didn’t commit, and a shapeshifter called Nimona, who sets out to help prove his innocence.
The synopsis for Nimona (via Netflix) reads as follows: “When a knight in a futuristic medieval world is framed for a crime he didn’t commit, the only one who can help him prove his innocence is Nimona — a mischievous teen who happens to be a shapeshifting creature he’s sworn to destroy.”
Chloë Grace Moretz takes on the role of Nimona in the new movie, while Riz Ahmed plays the part of Ballister Boldheart. Rounding out the cast are Eugene Lee Yang, Frances Conroy, Lorraine Toussaint, Beck Bennett, RuPaul Charles, Indya Moore, Julio Torres, and Sarah Sherman.
Nimona is produced by Annapurna Animation, with Nick Bruno & Troy Quane on directing duties. Robert L. Baird and Lloyd Taylor wrote the screenplay, with the story coming from Bruno, Quane, Baird, Taylor, Pamela Ribon, Marc Haimes, and Keith Bunin.
Karen Ryan p.g,a, Julie Zackary p.g.a, and Roy Lee are producers on Nimona, while Megan Ellison, Robert L. Baird, Andrew Millstein, and John Powers Middleton are executive producers.
Nimona is one of a number of new animated movies that will be popping up on Netflix throughout 2023 and 2024. Other films include The Monkey King, Leo, In Your Dreams, That Christmas, Ultraman, and Thelma and the Unicorn.
A couple of old favourites will also be hitting the streaming service, including the Chicken Run sequel, Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget and another SpongeBob movie, in the shape of Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie. Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget arrives during the autumn/fall, while The Sandy Cheeks Movie lands in 2024.
