Based on a graphic novel, Nimona is a shape-shifting teenager within a walled city that fuses courtly myth and future tech, who crosses paths with a disgraced knight who is framed for murdering the Queen and the pair go on the run. This is a brash, bright and lively concoction , very much in the current SpiderVerse trend of mixing different styles of animation with its punk and traditional stylings and vibes. The script is quirky, snappy and funny, and the simple streamlined story zips along breathlessly. Chloe Moretz Grace and Riz Ahmed do great voice-work as the leads, delivering the film's big themes of acceptance and understanding engagingly, all swept along by a gorgeous Christophe Beck score. Managing to be sweet, funny, anarchic and moving, Nimona is an unexpectedly delightful animated treat.
