<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/netflix" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Netflix</a> released an animated children&#8217;s movie called &#8220;Nimona,&#8221; which features violence, LGBTQ storylines, allusions to suicide, and more <span style="font-weight: 400;">–</span> and parent reviewers have said that despite its PG rating, it is not for kids.</p>
<p>The film, based off the 2015 <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Nimona-Noelle-Stevenson/dp/0062278223/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2DCWZOP7YTM5W&amp;keywords=nimona+graphic+novel&amp;qid=1692303207&amp;sprefix=Nimona+g%2Caps%2C157&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">graphic novel</a> by the same name, came out on the streaming platform in June. The movie centers on Nimona, &#8220;shape-shifting teen character,&#8221; who &#8220;expresses glee at being a &#8216;villain&#8217; and wreaking havoc, even in committing &#8216;murder,'&#8221; but &#8220;viewers discover that her behavior stems from being shunned and misunderstood because she&#8217;s different,&#8221; the movie review site <a href="https://www.commonsensemedia.org/movie-reviews/nimona" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Common Sense Media</a> noted.</p>
<p>The film has &#8220;two characters [knights, in a futuristic medieval world] who are battling for the soul of their civilization &#8212; and falling in love with each other,&#8221; Ambrosius Goldenloin (voiced by Eugene Lee Yang) and Ballister Boldheart (played by Riz Ahmed), it added.</p>
<p>It was originally a product of Blue Sky Studios, but when Disney purchased Fox, it shut down both Blue Sky and the movie, Slate <a href="https://slate.com/culture/2023/06/nimona-netflix-movie-vs-book-nd-stevenson.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a>.</p>

<p>Parental reviewers on Common Sense made it clear that the PG rating was wrong. One <a href="https://www.commonsensemedia.org/movie-reviews/nimona/user-reviews/adult" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reviewer</a> wrote that it was &#8220;definitely not for younger children. I appreciate that it was made from a graphic novel which should be a sign that it is for the &#8216;big kid&#8217; crowd. &#8230; The language and storyline though feels a bit mature, and maybe more applicable to the older kid crowd.&#8221;</p>
<p>Another wrote that its not &#8220;for younger kids. There is a scene where two men kiss, lots of violence and suicidal thoughts. I didn&#8217;t end up thinking this was appropriate for my 8 year old. The girl Nimona in the movie actually tries to kill herself because she&#8217;s so distraught&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>One parent, who found it was not appropriate for her 8 and 5-year-old boys, noted that the talk of suicide should immediately make the film more than just PG.</p>

<p>&#8220;The title character states multiple times that she sometimes wishes the knights would successfully kill her,&#8221; the parent wrote. &#8220;Towards the end, Nimona becomes so distraught that she does attempt to run herself through a sword&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="https://slate.com/culture/2023/06/nimona-netflix-movie-vs-book-nd-stevenson.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Slate</a> reviewed the film and said Netflix made the &#8220;Nimona&#8221; story &#8220;gayer&#8221; than the novel, and came to the conclusion that it is not better. The review noted that the children&#8217;s animated film has gay moments, making the relationship between the knights &#8220;more explicit&#8221; with them holding hands and sharing a kiss. Nimona&#8217;s &#8220;trans-ness&#8221; is more obvious, with the character changing from girl to boy on any given day, it added.</p>
<p>It wrote that Nimona &#8220;takes gay and trans-coded characters and slots them into a story we&#8217;ve seen a million times before, about misunderstood &#8216;monsters&#8217; and fear of the Other…&#8221;</p>
