NIMONA - WE CATCH UP WITH THE DIRECTORS AND STARS CHLOE GRACE MORETZ, RIZ AHMED and EUGENE LEE YANG

The new animated movie NIMONA has found a welcome home at Netflix.

Based on the popular web comic and graphic novel by ND Stevenson the film was almost scrapped. The film was originally going to be produced by Blue Sky Studios, a subsidiary of 20th Century Fox, but after The Walt Disney Company acquired Fox, the film was delayed and then inevitably canceled when Blue Sky shut down.

Many of the staff members of Blue Sky admitted that they felt it was shut down due to the LGBTQ+ themes that were present throughout the film But, the tenacious directors Nick Bruno and Troy Quane did not give up until they found a home at Netflix.

The story centers around Nimona (voiced by Chloe Grace Moretz) a mischievous teen and a shapeshifter, usually a human girl, but able to grow and shrink and take any human or animal form. When a knight ( Riz Ahmed) in a futuristic medieval world is framed for a crime he didn't commit, he joins forces with Nimona in order to prove his innocence.

I caught up with stars, with Chloe Grace Moretz, Riz Ahmed, Eugene Lee Yang and directors Nick Bruno and Troy Quane about the important message the film delivers and why she wanted to be involved.

Nimona starts streaming on Netflix on June 30th.
