Nimona (Film)

Nimona is a 2023 Netflix animated feature film adapting the HarperCollins graphic novel of the same name by ND Stevenson.

Chloe Grace Moretz (Kick-Ass) is the lead voice as Nimona. Riz Ahmed (Venom) is set to voice Ballister Boldheart. Eugene Lee Yang is cast as Ambrosius Goldenloin.

Also cast are Frances Conroy (Joker), Lorraine Toussaint (The Equalizer), Beck Bennett (The Mitchells vs The Machines), RuPaul Charles (Drag Race), Indya Moore (Moon Girl And Devil Dinosaur), Julio Torres (The Great North), and Sarah Sherman (Saturday Night Live).

The streamer provides this synopsis: "A Knight (Ahmed) is framed for a crime he didn't commit and the only person who can help him prove his innocence is Nimona (Moretz), a shape-shifting teen who might also be a monster he's sworn to kill. Set in a techno-medieval world unlike anything animation has tackled before, this is a story about the labels we assign to people and the shapeshifter who refuses to be defined by anyone."

Nick Bruno and Troy Quane (Spies in Disguise) are directing.

Anipurna Pictures is developing the film. Roy Lee, Karen Ryan and Julie Zackary are producing. Robert L. Baird, Megan Ellison and Andrew Millstein are executive producers. DNEG is the animation house.

A previous animated adaptation had been set up at 20th Century Studios with Blue Sky Studios developing it. However, by February of 2021, now-parent company Walt Disney disbanded Blue Sky and abandoned the project.
