Adapted from ND Stevenson's graphic novel, the animated fantasy film is now streaming on Netflix.
Creator and co-producer Stevenson, directors Nick Bruno and Troy Quane, and others pop up in “The Art of Nimona,” which you can watch below.“People are so much more than what you see on the surface,” Stevenson explains. “Every one of these characters appears to be one archetype, and you peel back those layers and you realize it’s not the perfect hero, it’s not the perfect villain, it’s not a monster.”That idea carried over into the movie’s artwork.
Production designer Aiden Sugano elaborates: “We wanted to take the expectations around the classic princess fantasy 2D animation and destroy them to speak to Nimona’s spirit.” Later, he mentions how the film actually uses lighting to underline the film’s themes of acceptance, and the importance of the color scheme used throughout.“The very best animated movies challenge our perception of what movies for kids can be, and what themes they can tackle,” Stevenson says.
