The full version of the recognized cartoon “Nimona” / Nimona (10+) of the Annapurna Pictures studio, which received an Oscar nomination in the relevant category this year, can now be watched for free on the online cinema channel on YouTube – including in Ukraine. This is a temporary promotional offer – access was opened only for one week, until February 26.
The fantasy animated film about a werewolf girl and a knight, voiced by Chloe Moretz and Riz Ahmed, is available only in the original voice and with English subtitles. Versions with Ukrainian dubbing or even subtitles are not offered this time. The duration of the cartoon is 99 minutes, and the maximum resolution in which the film is available on YouTube is 1080p.
Nimon is based on the comic of the same name, created by cartoonist Anne Dee Stevenson. According to the plot, the knight Ballister Blackheart is accused of a terrible crime. To prove his innocence, he teams up with a werewolf girl, Nimona, who can transform into any animal.
At one time, the cartoon went through a real production hell that lasted 7 years (it was originally planned to be released in 2020) – after the takeover of 21st Century Fox, Disney management stopped production due to the LGBT theme, after which it was postponed several times before being canceled due to the closure of Blue Sky Studios (former subsidiary of 20th Century Studios) in April 2021. Annapurna Pictures eventually bought the rights and revived the project, and DNEG Animation took over the animation to finalize the cartoon for release on Netflix, where Nimon is available from June 30, 2023 – with a full Ukrainian dubbing.
Despite everything, “Nimon” received generally positive reviews from both critics and viewers – on the Rotten Tomatoes aggregator it has 93% “freshness” based on 100 reviews from critics and 91% (based on 2500+ ratings) from viewers, and on Metacritic — 75% (based on 17 critic reviews) and 7.3 points out of 10 (based on 159 viewer ratings).
