Something, something, something... we win
In a retro-futuristic world, a young knight is accused of a crime he did not commit. While his recent colleagues are chasing him, with the help of an unusual "teenager" he tries to clear his name and save the kingdom along the way.
Interesting animation, likable characters, a story that combines modern trends with traditional fairy tales, quite a good choice of music, and dialogues that vary from slightly vulgar humor, through somewhat philosophical, to deeply emotional. It is Netflix, so the strong PC and LGBT note is not surprising, but here it is not unpleasantly aggressive, but quite naturally blended. Ok, I didn't really like the final kiss, but I guess this time it's more me than that it's inappropriate for the story.
"Nimona" is not a masterpiece of an animated film and I doubt it will ever become a classic, but who wouldn't be curious about a medieval-futuristic, SF-mythological revisionist-traditional fairy tale... Worth watching.
7/10.
