Good: The Nimona Movie Lives
ND Stevenson’s beloved webcomic-turned-bestselling fantasy graphic novel has had a long road to an animated movie adaptation—a road that had previously led directly off a cliff. Originally announced as an animated film by 20th Century Fox, it languished there until 2019 when Disney bought the studio and promptly delayed the film twice, and then canceled it altogether in February 2021. According to people who worked on it, Disney objected to the romantic, same-sex kiss between two male characters in the movie, shutting down production despite the movie being 75 percent finished. Happily, this past April, Netflix (also home of Stevenson’s excellent She-Ra and the Princesses of Power reboot) announced it would be airing the film next year.
