Nimona has had a bit of a struggle in getting to us, but hopefully, all that stress will make its imminent release all the sweeter. The animated film was originally bought up by Disney but was then canned, apparently in objection to the strong LGBTQ+ themes that run throughout the film. This wasn’t enough to keep the film down, and one of its stars, The Try Guys member, Eugene Lee Yang, knows something about standing tall despite what others may say.
Nimona is a punk alternative to the classic fairytale, following the story of the titular character, a shapeshifter who has impulsive and often violent tendencies. The film is based on the webtoon by ND Stevenson, the creator and showrunner for the Netflix animated series She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, another show which had heaps of queer characters. However, it would seem that Nimona‘s queerness was too much for the “family-friendly” Disney, who seem unable to go beyond hinting at anything other than heteronormal love.
