Nick Bruno and Troy Quane are directing Nimona, while DNEG Animation is handling the animation. Here is the official synopsis of the film:
A knight is framed for a crime he didn't commit, and the only person who can help prove his innocence is Nimona, a shapeshifting teenage girl who might also be a monster he's sworn to kill. Set in a techno-medieval world unlike anything animation has tackled before, it's a story about the labels we assign to people and the shapeshifter who refuses to be defined by anyone.
Stevenson first published a Nimona as a webcomic on Tumblr (which they also used for their senior thesis), which earned it an Eisner nomination for Best Digital/Webcomic in 2014. It was collected and published as a graphic novel by HarperCollins in 2015, which became a best-seller and won the Eisner Award for Best Chart Album – Reprint, a Cybils Award and a Nation Book Award nomination.
Fox-owned Blue Sky Studio announced Nimona's film later that year. Following Disney's purchase of 20th Century Fox, the film faced multiple delays. Part of the team that worked on the project claimed that Disney executives (Interestingly, the first studio Nimona was offered to adapt) they rejected the inclusion of explicit LGBTQ relationships and romantic themes. Disney, however, blamed the pandemic for the cancellation of the film, but the truth is that the film was almost finished when Disney bought FOX, and in fact the production budget was increased from what it had already been given. assigned, already with mouse home with Blue-Sky control.
Nimona It has had several previous screenings with the public and the reviews have been very positive. But even so, Disney decided to call it off and focus their efforts before shutting down Blue-Sky and laying staff before being either laid off or relocated within Disney, to work on the series of Ice Age: The Misadventures of Scrat for Disney +.
Since then, Stevenson has worked on Netflix's She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. HBO Max is currently adapting another of his comic works, Lumberjacks.
With the confirmation that the directors of Blue-Sky that are directing the project which will be canceled will be those responsible for directing Nimona for Netflix, it may be intuir that the production will continue in this point on the dejaron lo that explains that podamos ver la película next year.
