19. Nimona
Based on ND Stephenson’s popular graphic novels, Nimona was canceled years ago as a result of the Disney-Fox merger. But instead of being one of many casualties of Hollywood’s acquisition spree, Annapurna brought the film back from the dead… and to Netflix. Nimona is a beautifully animated and charming romp that easily makes it the most engaging animated fantasy flick of 2023. Within minutes, it’s easy to see why it was worth bringing back in the first place, and why it resonates so strongly with queer viewers.
