Just watched this last night. Now I'm gonna watch it again but with you. Love how quick you got this out!

Catradora fan

This movie is so metal! Do you now know what Mosco was texting you about Elijah? 😅

Ryan

The movie's actually gayer than the comic. Suck it Disney!

Rainbow Moth

I'll admit that I was initially a tad bit skeptical about this movie. Though very talented and creative, I find ND Stevenson to be kind of a . . . questionable storyteller.

Pineapple on pizza *can* work. The problem is that it's such a moist food that unless you're careful, it can easily make the crust soggy...and that's never good. Nimona is literally *everything* fluid. But I think they present as female when human (and I say "when human" because that was definitely a *male* gorilla) most of the time because that was the gender of the first human they met.

This movie is absolutely brilliant. So glad you made time to give us a reaction! I believe the mlm word you're looking for is "Achillean", after the mythological Greek hero Achilles. I've heard "Uranian", "Vincian", and "Wildean" as well, but Achillean most commonly. Apparently it's earliest usage dates back to 1959. That said, Ambrosius & Ballister were wonderful! That soft moment at the start with Ballister putting his head on Ambrosius's shoulder. I was hooked. Fantastic pairing! I'm pro pineapple on pizza. I prefer ham, but pepperoni works. And like you, jalapeños to give it a little pop! I've been pushing this movie on everyone I know. It's amazing!

I love how the movie never shows us Nimona's origin. Chronologically, their first appearance is as a bird trying to befriend another bird. They're not shown as a human girl before meeting Gloreth. Their "original" form is never explained, because it's not important. It's not relevant to the story and it's not part of Nimona's identity.

Xaimon

The Sapphic equivalent for men is- Achillean... Achillean: men who are attracted to men, inclusive of gay, bisexual, pansexual, and queer men and nonbinary people who identify with manhood. A term that refers to the Greek hero Achilles, modeled after the use of the term “sapphic” for women who are attracted to women. Similar to MLM.

Ryan

Amazing reaction, Elijah. You're a stronger woman than I am; I can't get through the Nimoma/Gloreth montage without crying. Nimona's theme (the choral part) gets me right in the feels. Nimona was originally being worked on by Blue Sky studios, before they were bought out by Disney and soon after shut down. I wonder how different that version would have been. Cutting off arms is not a love language! Be charming, not disarming.

WoodWorks Animation

Wanted to give a little history (just in case you didn't know about the movie's production), this film was originally produced by Blue Sky Studios and was set for an October 2021 release. Unfortunately, Blue Sky's owner, 20th Century Fox, was purchased by Disney. As a result, the film's production kept getting pushback despite going completely fine without them; and heads were getting critical of the film's LGBT themes, especially the kiss at the end of the film; since they weren't Background Characters that could easily be edited out for international releases. Blue Sky's film before this, Spies in Disguise, had underperformed during the merger, so Disney used that as an extra reason to, not just can Nimona (despite being 75% finished), but completely destroy Blue Sky along with it. Annapurna, a year later, picked the film back up and used it as the first film of their new animation division. So, the film performing as well as it is now is awesome and hopefully will make Disney see what they could have had.

Theodrax

Good luck editing this monster for YouTube.

WhyAreWeAwake

My jaw dropped when it got to the scene at the Gloreth statue. That roar that turns into a scream and then the shock and we see the metal hand against the exposed heart... I was in awe. For anyone who hasn't read the graphic novel, it is totally worth reading if you love this movie! They are distinct enough works of art in terms of both art and actual storyline to offer a lot independently.

Catradora fan

The first song that you hear is from Kipo "Grrl like" Nimona is like a combination of Adora Catra Glimmer and Vanelope from Wreck It Ralph so chaotic

Christopher Herrera

Personally I hate pineapple in general so unfortunately I hate pineapple on pizza

Xaimon

As far as Nimona's pronouns... Nimona is simply fluid whether it be gender or species itself. All pronouns apply whether it be they/them, she/her, he/him or anything else in between. It depends on the form expressed in the moment by Nimona. Nimona is simply Nimona and the form Nimona takes is who/what Nimona is presently. No more, no less.

Jacob Bess

She reminds me of the iron giant. She didn’t want to be a monster and he didn’t want to be a gun.

CarcosanTimeshare

This gave me a reason to renew my Netflix subscription for a month.

Reverie Mephisto

I love Eugene Lee Yang as Ambrocious Goldenloin SO FUCKING MUCH!!! I NEED to hear this beautiful man voice more animated characters! He is a fucking NATURAL!!!! Also, I am Team Pineapple but with sausage. I have, unfortunately, developed an allergy to pineapple over the past few years. It makes my tongue fuzzy and numb. I don't know what I miss more: the pizza or the pina coladas. :(

David Johnson

I suspect the whole question "what is Nimona's original form" is simply meaningless.

Mitch

This film tore my heart open in the most beautiful way. It lit a fire in me and a desire to be more openly protective of my LGBTQIA+ family. It has empowered me in a way no other film has and I have to thank Nate and the rest of the writers, directors and producers for that. I feel that everyone and I mean EVERYONE needs to watch this film, it needs to be become a household film in the same way every other Disney and Pixar film is. People need to hear what this film is saying.

Serinthia Kelberry

You know...I'm a trans woman...and there are times when I feel so ugly. So much like a monster. I try to push those feelings back, I really do. I know I'm a good person. I'm a valid person. I am a woman...at least in my heart. And i see a film like this...and I connect with it so deeply...on such a deep and emotional level. I'm trying not to cry...or maybe I should, I don't know. I actually haven't seen your reaction yet, but I'm very looking forward to watching it later. I really just came to say that I have seen it myself and I loved it so much. I thought it was so beautiful, and I can only hope in my heart that as many people see it as possible. People need to see this film. No matter who they are, they need to see this.

Verdigree

The graphic novel was THE number one graphic novel for years, they put it in the bookstore section just slightly younger than all the teen books instead of the comics section, and they always kept at least 20 copies to sell at my local place

Verdigree

I highly reccomend reading the graphic novel, is just one volume, I'd say a couple hours to read maybe?

Shannon O'Connell

The film is so beautiful... and I for one will NEVER forgive Disney for trying to bury it. Both the comic and film are HUGE inspirations to me!

Verdigree

I'm vegetarian, pineapple on pizza is great because even in small towns with just the basic toppings on their menus, pineapple is always dependable to construct a second type of vegetarian pizza, I love a pineapple, onion, green pepper, and tomato

Bailey

I'm about halfway through this reaction as I'm typing this and I'm absolutely loving both it and the movie. Nimona is very quickly becoming one of my favourite characters from anything. They have such a fun chaotic energy, the way they can turn into anything they want when they want, and even their dislike for pineapple on pizza. Literally me if I was able to shapeshift. And of course, the representation angle. Whether you're trans, nonbinary, genderfluid, a mix of them or anything else, there's a very relatable element to the character. I love this so much 😭 Edit: Omg this movie... it ended up hitting waaaay heavier than I expected at the time... Not only is this story just beautiful and heavy as it is, but the fact that it has a lot of parallels to shit that happens in the real world makes it hit even harder... my poor heart...

Marrianne

Pineapple on pizza is my favorite!

Tammy Ragsdale

My meatless goto pizza is pineapple, olive, banana peppers-sweet, salty and dill-and if I want the heat, jalapenos.

Daniel Drew

Also, Nate did the voice of the cereal dragon, Kwispy ^__^

Sobbingleaf

I looked it up. The MLM version of Sapphic is “Achillean”.

TheeInnerWill8

Loved the reaction, found it hilarious that shadowwever was in this, along with a song from KIpo "Grrrl Like (Clean) by Dope Saint Jude" and when you watch RWBY your going to see someone familiar and it will be hilarious.

SK- Eferthigra

ok I finally watched the show myself it was fantastic now watch the reaction here we go I'm late to the party

BigPoppaJohn89

I love Nimona's character. I love her smiles, I love her voice and I love how crazy she is.

Dinker

I almost want to do a moment by moment reaction cause Elijah is awesome. Instead I simply say this If someone says "Oh shit, cameras" when police are doing something = Not fren If someone says "Oh shit, cameras" when basically anyone else is doing something = Fren.

Melody Taberner

I finally watched Nimona today and had to come watch your reaction. I'm really grateful for how much you recognize and commented on the trans allegory. As a trans woman, this film hits differently, and it had me in tears almost the whole time. I think my favorite moment is when Nimona describes what transforming feels like: "Honestly? I feel worse when I don't do it. Like my insides are itchy. You know like that second right before you sneeze? That's close to it. And I shapeshift and I'm free...I wouldn't DIE die...I just sure wouldn't be living!" What a beautiful and poetic description of gender dysphoria and the freedom of being ourselves. Insides being itchy resonates so true to when I was closeted and before I could transition. I hope this film gives gender-expansive people early in their exploration language to describe their experience. And I hope it gives cis people deeper empathy for trans folks.

Steven Hector

I always watch your edited content on YouTube, but I knew I had to watch the full reaction for this movie.

Gone

Riz Ahmed (voice of Bal) is in some phenomenal movies, maybe one of the best actors to hit big in recent years. If you liked his voice work here, definitely check out Sound Of Metal or Nightcrawler. Word of warning, though, Nightcrawler is a REALLY disquieting movie about really sleazy people.

NamelessSoul

I LOVED this movie so much, if really hit hard. I think I cried 4 separate times. And your reaction was great, your story of pride in relation to that scene. Excellent point.

Faroth

so apparently the "male" version of Sapphic is Achillean

OnTheSpectrum7342

I like that you and I had the same thought years after this video was posted! I just looked it up myself, because even me and my bi brain didn't know, so I can go into a little bit more depth. So, Sapphic and Achillean both come from Greek times, with the term Sapphic coming from the goddess Sappho, who lived on the island of Lesbos, and wrote poetry which often expressed attraction to other women; and Achillean came from Achilles, who formed a tight bond with his companion Patroclus which historians have since deemed as potentially romantic in nature (with a not-very-happy ending).

Faroth

Im not lgbt, but im psychopathic, so if i get a doubt of something, it would torture me not knowing , and sometimes, it makes me want to say it 'just because'

Raiza Morata

01:04:55 I know this part is about trans people... But as a lesbian woman, I think it applies to us too... We feel trapped and forced to be someone we’re not... And when we finally “shape-shift”... and can be ourselves... we’re free ❤️ Man,. Holy sht! It was so good! It's been a long time since I felt so sad watching animations! I cried so much every single time I watched it (including when I watched the reactions) that I get migraines 😂🫠

Mica Appatossis

Noo, I can't watch it anymore… :’( is the link working for you? Or is it just my Ipad that isn't finding it?
