	Media	Author	Review
		Peter Debruge Variety	"This former Blue Sky project feels a million miles removed from anything its original parent studio has made — and that’s a good thing"
		Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"Cheekily irreverent and hilariously subversive, it’s a consistent delight"
		Samantha Nelson IGN	"A sweet and funny science-fantasy film that boldly fights the monster of intolerance"
		Coleman Spilde The Daily Beast	"[It] elicits just about every single emotion that any decent one should be able to dredge up out of the icy hearts of its adult viewers, just as much as it does for children"
		Christian Zilko IndieWire	"What could have been a generic piece of standard Netflix fare in less skillful hands ends up being a nuanced story of belonging that's slightly less cliche-ridden than you might expect"
		Marco Vito Oddo Collider	"With eye-popping animation, a fresh story, and energetic voice performances, 'Nimona' is nothing less than a triumph"
		Alison Willmore Vulture	"'Nimona' was worth the wait (...) What makes [it] so refreshing is that it doesn't just plunk these characters onscreen —it also has something to say about them and their respective relationships with the status quo"
		Rafael Motamayor SlashFilm	"It is a miracle that this film exists, and regardless of audience response, nothing can take that away from it"
		Autumn Wright Paste Magazine	"'Nimona' remains a fairy tale for the freaks and queers, in the best way"
		Sam Adams Slate	"It's not [its] lack of fidelity that makes it underwhelming (...) 'Nimona' seems to proceed from the assumption that focusing on diverse protagonists relieves the movie of the need to train its creative energies on any other area"
		Christian Holub Entertainment Weekly	"This energetic fantasy film is a powerful queer story"
		Ben Travis Empire	"Both enthusiastically irreverent and deeply sincere, 'Nimona' is a revisionist fairytale that forges its own path visually and narratively to beautiful effect (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Steve Seigh JoBlo	"It is a glittering gem in an ornate crown forged from the cast and crew’s tenacity, faith in Steveson’s brilliant blueprint, and a desire to bring something honest and new to the animation stage"
		Brandon Zachary CBR	"Hilarious and heartbreaking 'Nimona' is truly special"
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Buoyant, good-humoured LGBTQ+ parable (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Ferdosa Abdi Screen Rant	"A charming, nuanced and sophisticated animated feature. The narrative is quite apparent in its themes about morality, identity, and tradition (...) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Simon Abrams rogerebert.com	"A few compelling emotions and themes are suggested but rarely well expressed (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
		Bob Strauss San Francisco Chronicle	"That it's so entertaining and unapologetic at this moment in history adds another component to the film's kaleidoscope of qualities (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"
		Belen Edwards Mashable	"At a time when LGBTQ rights and spaces continue to come under attack from bigoted legislation, 'Nimona' cements itself not just as a great fantasy film, but as an important one as well"
		Wendy Ide The Guardian	"Sparky medieval fantasy with a serious message (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Noel Murray Los Angeles Times	"'Nimona' is imaginative and boisterous, just like its main character"
		Mireia Mullor Digital Spy	"Aside all of the necessary messages and debates within the story, 'Nimona' is a fun ride that does a great job combining impressive action, deeply moving scenes, and hilarious gags (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
