Nimona animators say Blue Sky had just a few sequences done when they were shuttered by Disney.
After several years in development and a devastating detour when Disney shuttered Blue Sky Studios in 2021, the Nimona movie finally debuted on Netflix this summer after Annapurna Pictures acquired the film. The film, based on ND Stevenson's graphic novel of the same name, was a hit with fans and critics alike, who praised not only the story, but the film's animation as well.
"I think it's kind of legendary now how they had started it at Blue Sky and then, unfortunately, Disney ended up closing the studio and ended up coming to us at DNEG very thankfully," Ty said."And they didn't really get a big jump on it in animation. They had a couple of sequences done and, unfortunately, it was beautiful work but we couldn't use it because of technicality so we just started over.
What Happened With the Nimona Movie?In 2015 Blue Sky Studios initially announced that they had acquired the rights to Stevenson's graphic novel of the same name. The project was in development at that studio until Disney purchased 20th Century Fox and subsequently shuttered the animation house in 2021. At the time, it was reported that the project had nearly been completed and because of that, there was no way actually finish things when Disney shuttered the studio.
"I also can't believe it's happening," Stevenson said."I think it kind of snuck up on me when so many unexpected and sometimes devastating things happen in the production, I feel like we were all kind of guarding our hearts a little bit. Like, what unexpected curveball is going to hit us next? And now we're all here and it's hitting us all at the same time. It's real. This is really happening.
What Is Nimona About?Based on Stevenson's graphic novel of the same name, in Nimona, when Ballister Boldheart , a knight in a futuristic medieval world, is framed for a crime he didn't commit, the only one who can help him prove his innocence is Nimona , a mischievous teen with a taste for mayhem — who also happens to be a shapeshifting creature Ballister has been trained to destroy. But with the entire kingdom out to get him, Nimona's the best sidekick Ballister can hope for.
