- Nimona is a magical movie that almost got buried under the weight of corporate takeovers. Thankfully, Netflix saved it. Anyway, all movies have sins, so...

The funniest thing is Nimona has been nominated for the oscars and nothing of Disney was
Elemental?
@@tdeadt1546 that's Pixar
@@ginebramanwhich is owned by Disney
Definetly not due to the wokeness
Didn't Wish get nominated for something?
How about the fact Ambrosius can believe that Bal murdered the queen but he knows Bal would never play freestyle jazz?
THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING
@@lucasmatthiessen1570 he said everyone hates freestyle jazz he never mentioned the queen during that sin
Also the director wouldn’t have been able to manipulate everyone that easily sure a few people would believe her but some people I feel like wouldn’t by it
@@TheAntiDisneyEmperor You gotta remember that 'Nimona' is an allegory for queerness and thus, queerphobia. Most people already despised Ballister, they were just waiting for one tiny slip-up or rumor to justify their hatred - like queerphobes do.
@@temoevoorjouwgelul oh I guess that explains it but I thought she framed him due to the fact he’s a huge problem in her plan
"Nitpicking tiny differences in things for no good reason" - pitch meeting for CinemaSins somehow ends up in the script
And some people think Cinemasins isn't self-aware satire.
@@LaniakeaDenizen that was my thought right after that sin.
Cinemasinssins
Wow wow wow... wow.
I especially thought of this after he gave the movie 3 sins for the fact that Disney almost didn't let us have this movie.
the constant jokes about the name Goldenloin is just pure gold
Oh gods... he's literally Goldmember, like the Austin Powers character, lol
They're Gold, Jerry!
Just pure goldenloin
Golden groin
My nickname for him is Tenderloin..
Nimona's "Did they let you keep it?" line should have earned a sin off.
MIssed opportunity there lol
The way Chloe delivered the line HAD ME ROLLING. XD
I died and knew I had to finish the movie in that moment
This was the scene that made me watch the movie
With Sin #7, non-nobles *were* banned from being Knights - you literally see him jump over a fence to crash the training, and the Queen decided to make an exception, kickstarting the plot. The shots of him as a young adult are from his *official* training within the Knight School, which the Queen greenlit personally.
I never noticed he jumped the fence and wondered why he was the only non-noble (so far) to get to train. Thanks for pointing that out!
The fact this movie got nominated for Oscars is a huge middle finger to Disney and I'm all here for it!
Its kinda like Spirited Away in that way. Disney has released some bangers in the past, and I believe more is still to come, but not everything is to that level. Nimona and films like it prove that third party can be just as good if not better.
Why? This movie is super woke and even worse than anything Disney has put out and received criticism for, and you support THIS getting an Oscar over Disney? lol. What exactly are you angry at Disney for then?
@@Zeetana1 do you not know anything about Disney???
@@Zeetana1 Honestly, do you know nothing? "Woke" doesn't even have a proper definition because it means nothing. As for Disney? I doubt you are ready for that rabbit hole of BS.
@Zeetana1
Simple. Disney makes woke movies for the sake of being woke. This movie is woke for the sake of good story telling.
Idk what’s funnier: Nimona immediately saying “murder em” after Ballister says “if you see someone…”, or Jeremy saying “the NYPD” for that sin lmfao 😂😂😂
That joke was not okay. Why can't I stop laughing? 1 sin for society being full of demented sociopaths.
Did I mention religion twice? Huh guess that was on purpose. 😂
GTA4
As pointed out, you can always tell when a movie is truly well made when more than half of the sins are jokes/nitpicks rather than actual flaws. Even the sins for the cliches can be debated because cliches themselves are not an issue, but rather the execution of those cliches; I doesn't matter to me how cliche a film is if they did a fantastic job telling it and gave me reasons to care about the characters. Although I do feel like they could've removed a couple more sins for the comedy in Nimona cause that shit is hilarious
real
Yep. In this case, I would say an easy 85%, at least. Nimona was AWESOME!
Not even nitpicks, he's just being an asshole . He awarded half of the "sins" in one go simply because Disney bought Bluesky and shut it down but that's somehow the production team's fault? okayyyyyyy... oh, but haha funny intentional asshole def not doing it just for views and attention.
i feel like most people should be able to easily tell that he's joking, if you mix in joke criticisms and actual criticisms with eachother. and COUNT the joke criticisisms....
“I can’t even pretend to be offended by this, look sometimes people are different thank you and end up in movies” cinemasins is uncancelable
Nah, I'll be honest, nobody is really uncancellable. One slip up in the future and shhiiiiit, all the good stuff goes out the window
The movie is great on its own merits. The annoyance is people who ONLY talk about the love interests as what makes it great. Zero fun children's movies are great because of the love story.
@@offdogs6217It’s valid for people to say that romance can be one of the reasons why a movie is great. It all depends on execution. Ballister and Ambrosius’ relationship is great because of the stakes it goes through and the chemistry the two share. And yes, it’s not like only one part of a movie makes a movie great.
That was a slap in the face I needed. Thank you, cinemasins!
@offdogs6217 Bahaha what??? No fucking way people praise it for the gay couple. Seriously, it isn't happening. _Nimona_ is the one that's praised. The whole damn story is about her being queer as shit. That's the crux of the climax! Nobody's praising the gay couple except as a sidenote
The second rule of retaining successful employment at Denny's (after the initial rule of including disturbing drawings on your application) was to make sure the tacos were constantly held upright.
During "DISNEYCEMBER 2023" I have trouble reviewing "Nimona" from Netflix & somehow the comments of channel awesome have trouble working so to make a long story short it kill "Blue sky studios" big time !
I found the saying “she finds that life unacceptable” very impactful because that’s the word I’ve been struggling to assign to this. It’s not that she doesn’t want to live, it’s just the quality is unacceptable.
Not wanting to live and wanting to die are seperated by only a small margin.
Sometimes, the fear of life is greater than the fear of death. Think of the people in the twin towers who couldn't escape as the world burned around them. The ones who jumped didnt jump because they wanted to die, they jumped because in that moment, living was the worse option to them.
13:02 not to mention that ballister is literally reaching out and touching her heart here.
Nimona's explanation of the "itchiness unless she acts on her needs" made me think of neurodivergence (autism, ADHD) before I thought of queerness.
it works for both, but given the creator of the story is queer, a queer reading is probably quite on point.
It helps that it's with regard to her being the physical form(s) she wants to be in instead of just the ones that make people around her comfortable. I guess isn't entirely still untrue for neurodivergence and masking though.
supposedly queerness is a form of neurodivergence which literally translates to different brain so it more or less works anyways.
So trans
Me too!
Alright, let's see CinemaSins tackle one of my comfort movies
i am NOT prepared
Hope it gets a home release too so it's not limited to one having a good connection at all times or even the whims of "Licensing" on the platform as we have heard.
It’s so good that it’s 3 minutes less than usual
He called it a great movie which is a great sign
i can tell he loves this film even with the sin format
Holy shit he didn't sin the logos? impossible
Its a Netflix movie. Not that many logos
12:04 I have a feeling he's used to seeing Bal from behind.
LMAO yes while giving him his golden loin
The breakdown of the scene that broke me broke me all over again. Damnit dude.
*thumbnail*
Nimona: "I am hilarious and you will quote everything I say."
TFS reference!
Making TFS references in the year of our Lord 2024.
I tip my cap to you.
Birds, birds, *goku*
"This f*cking movie had some clinical psychiatrists on staff or something, because it is absolutely dealing with multiple mental health concerns with sensitivity and understanding and I am crying more about THAT than I am the cry-worthy impending ending of this movie!"
That deserves more than one sin being removed.
I'm sinning your sin at 4:43. Tacos are more important than anything else.
Sinception!
Nimona getting the Oscar nom over Wish is karmic justice
Unfortunately, elemental is nominated as well.
@@Princess_-gp3ep Boo freaking hoo. Reminder that Disney also owns the studio that made Poor Things, so I'd say they got a lot more Oscar nominations than Nimona did.
As someone who struggled with Mental Health in the past, I respect you for addressing and removing a sin for when Nimona tries to take her life.
RIP Blue Sky Studios
And f**k the beast who killed you
Rip Cinemasins
@@ianbrown3948 why?
I didn’t even hear about this movie until a few months ago, and I’m upset I didn’t know sooner!
I know what you mean. I saw the trailer for it come up on Netflix and didn't really give it much thought beyond "yeah I'll check it out eventually" only to watch it and be completely blown away by just how good it was. I had some strong emotions ranging from laughing my arse off at the jokes to having all the feels during that ending!
@@chrish3126 yeah, I can’t believe Disney almost shut down this!
@@alvaroperez2349I can. It is super woke trash that even woke Disney couldn't support and that's saying something.
I just watched it for the first time two months ago.
Round of applause for Nimona for managing to overcome almost being put on the cutting room floor from Disney. And if that isn't enough, got itself a best animated feature nod, while the one they were putting all their effort in for their 100th anniversary, Wish, didn't even get a whisper. There is justice in the entertainment business sometimes.
It would have been better if it was left at that.
The movie disgraces the book so much
@@shadowhawkrine1947fortunately the movie and book can coexist as seperate interpretations of the same story
@@starlightsoiree The movie actively hates on the book.
It humiliates characters that we loved in the book and turns Nimona into a completely different person entirely.
@@shadowhawkrine1947 ok?
@@shadowhawkrine1947cope. Loved the movie.
nimona stands to me, alongside things like spiderverse, as a testament to how beautiful and powerful animation can be as a medium; people keep making live-action remakes without recognizing that animation can convey stories in ways that live action could never do justice to
Yeah tbh we don’t need live action and a lot of fans don’t actually want it anyway.
"Character who spends the entire movie calling herself a villain and terrifying the general public is surprised when a member of that general public calls her a monster". Even though in the scene we just saw where she's a dragon, she saves a child from being killed by debris, only to still be treated horribly after trying to do something positive. Pretty sure BirdMan will pick up on this.
Its like Nick from zootopia hating being seen as “dishonest”, but he still lives that way because its all people let him be. He couldn’t get a real job, and Nimona cant function a normal without shapeshifting scaring people
I can’t wait to see Th3Birdman do a video on this. Jeremy says “Believing things you’ve been told without evidence” while manipulating scenes all the time
Well, Nimona literally kills multiple people throughout the movie...
Pretty sure one act of goodness from the terror SHE'S causing isn't that great moral fiber you want it to be.
@@joshuakelly9390 can you read? Are you 11? That’s what the comment is saying
@@joshuakelly9390 also, show me one person she’s kills. The movie never implies she kills anyone.
The fact this flim got made is a miracle
no
Yes
Absolutely love you guys for taking the sins off in the moments that Nimona was actually serious, but really wish y'all would've at least taken one sin off for the absolute hilarity that she brought as well. This movie has had me laughing just as hard as it had me crying. Great vid!
10:16 Actually this movie got Oscar nominations. Nothing from Disney did.
Imagine being in development hell because Blue Sky's ass got reamed by Disney right when they started making decent movies only to be bought by Netflix, released to critical acclaim, and eventually end up on CinemaSins' magnificent channel.
Plus the additional irony of having every single one of Disney’s film’s last year absolutely bomb, outside of spiderman and guardians
@@brandonaumiller3997 Lmao literally not even true. The Little Mermaid released at the top of the box office and stayed in the top three for weeks. Elemental is considered a sleeper hit. Disney also owns Searchlight, which made Poor Things. I doubt they're losing any sleep over this movie.
I'm not crying about your description of her reasoning for attempted self impalement You are 😢
Damn onion ninjas
Probably one of the best sin videos in a while. I really like when these guys sin movies they enjoy.
God I can’t wait for them to Sin Wish. That whole movie was a trainwreck of “that doesn’t make sense”
A tribute to this movie being so incredible is that this video couldn't even make it to 15 minutes of sinning
I adore Nimona so much. From Tumblr post to award winning film
I'm still so sad they didn't include the scientist, even though see wasn't a big part of the story she was still such an awesome character.
Cinemasins is just scared to tackle subjects like this. It doesn’t get it’s average sin count or timer because of what the movie is about as they’re scared if they treat it the same, they’ll get “cancelled”
The drawing DOEs look like nimona. She looked like the girl in it back in the old days and is seen in that form in the modern day trying to comfort the little girl during the dragon attack
Which is ironic since one of his sins were “do people just believe everything they’re told without proof”
2:20 the fact even the most nitpicky channel here says "gay's exist deal with it" makes me so happy :)
Get sinned on
Not for long. wherever it appears we will oppress u
He's nitpicky, not an asshole. Well, not THAT kind of asshole.
@@bethanyscarbrough3416nah, he’s just sexist and likes kids “Scene does not contain a lapdance” “Emma Watson is not old enough to be hot in this scene” actual sins from cinemasins
@@bethanyscarbrough3416 true true
The scene of Ambrosius suddenly ranting to the Director in the car with a smash cut back to him saying "I'm Fine" was worthy of a sin removal.
10 sins added for her coming back at the end. The story ends five seconds earlier. The graphic novel's ending of Boldheart wondering if every person he meets could be her is much more poignant. Not everyone gets a happy ending.
This movie had a trigger warning and numbers/websites for mental health help for a reason. I felt it on a deep emotional level several times.
Poignant, yes, but not what this version of the story needed.
seeing as this entire movie was one big queer allegory, i think our community deserves to see at least one happy ending. it was cathartic at the very least.
"Why did the school let him in if it was such an issue?"
The Queen quite literally decreed that he would be in after he stormed the field as a kid. I imagine most of the public largely forgot about him until his knighthood approached.
6:30 - The 6 minutes estimate likely accounts for time passed since the timestamp on the feed already.
🤣 (11:52) holy shit toothless is pissed!
The way you put in Hamilton”the room where it happened” was pretty cool
Toothless is pissed. Jeremy never disappoints. 🤣
2023 was a great year for animation for sure!
I love when a movie is so good that the cinemasins video is just a bunch of thinly-veiled compliments
this movie, and the web comic that spawned it, draws so much from Nate's own experiences and it makes me wanna hug him
WEB COMIC???
@@wyattwise5888 yep! it's very different but covers pretty much the same themes. If you enjoyed the film it's worth having a gander.
You can get a physical copy of the comic too, though the author credit may deadname Nate... I don't know if there was ever a reprinting after he came out or not.
QUIT READING MY MIND, I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT THIS MOVIE
I rewatched it just yesterday, somehow.
12:04 Clearly He's The Top.
AGREED
13:24 oh come on stop saying pineapple pizza sucks just because everyone else does. It tastes marvellous
Everyone says pdos suck, but we have the jeffery Epstein list. If the majority says it sucks, it does. It’s called personal preference
@@SweatySheets I just want to eat my foken Hawaiian pizza
Have you never held a tray of tacos before? You defend that with your life take that sin back!
Still waiting for "Everything Great about Nimona"
Then go talk to the guy who runs that channel.
@@starofjustice1 and just how would you propose I do that?
@@DaniKing72 The comments sections of its latest video?
That would just be watching the movie Nimona.
It's funny that character flaws are pointed out to be "sins" like they're not supposed to be there and don't serve a very important purpose
Not only that but the amount of singing in this one is unreal, he also starts to pretend to be offended to the says “I can be bothered… This sin is for you if you’re offended” and then adds a sin to the movie sin counter
This movie was the first movie in a very long time that I cried from
4:28 if Donkey Kong has taught me anything, the rhino works here
No way a cheetah is carrying and adult human
6:45 the saddest thing is this probably went over a lot of viewers heads
It also 100% went over Jeremy’s head
3:50 Nice addition of "The Room Where It Happens" from the Hamilton play by Lin-Manuel Miranda.
nice someone noticed😭🎉
13:04 Ah, so im not the only crying from all these things so perfectly conveyed in a movie that makes a plot so perfectly intertwined.
Even if the comic didn’t get one, I really hope this movie gets a sequel. Maybe even a Nimona series.
A series showing more of the city and what's outside the walls would be really fun
8:10 the squire guy tried to point out this thing since the beginning of the movie before Ballister got Knighted. He just got interrupted by the Director coming in and fled. You can even see him show the same video paused before he got interrupted xD
To quote Jeremy in this very video “do people just believe anything without evidence” this is proof he doesn’t watch the movies and the staff don’t work together when making sins. Or he just knows his audience is dumb and will take his word for anything
My girlfriend suggested we watch this one night, and I knew absolutely nothing about it, had barely even heard of it.
I watched the preview bit and I’m like “Sure, looks like a light hearted/very silly animated buddy goof movie”.
And then I spent the last third of the movie crying because of how god damned *hard* this movie hits. I was NOT expecting to be blindsided by one of the toughest transgender trauma metaphors I’ve ever seen.
Absolutely love the movie but holy *shit* does it hurt for how relatable this is, especially in the current massive anti-trans climate. That ‘I can’t stand everyone making me into the villain no matter what I do’ is far too real right now.
Still one of my favorite films of last year.
I’m surprised that they didn’t add a sin for “Tumblr”
you should have taken off sins for every time nimona called balister out on his bullshit. 😂
I have been at home sick for the past week and started to binge a ton of CinemaSins and its been a real trip down memory lane revisiting some of these vids 😊😊😊
Nimona is currently on Netflix’s CZcams channel! For a short time only!
7:22 Answer: Not as fun, like come on-
Ambrosius’ nicknames that CinemaSins made is more golden than an oscars trophy fr.
I was looking for this video just last night because I saw the short video
Heard the plot of this movie is basically The Iron Giant with a quirky Tumblr girl instead of a robot and now I can't unsee it
That's what I was thinking while I was watching it
1,000 years has passed and suddenly a modern society that somehow retained some medieval stuff?
Reminds me of Demacia from League of Legends.
I love that aesthetic, TBH. Plus, a lot of modern societies kept at least part of their "olden days" looks. There's entire towns and cities that have strict building codes to preserve the look of a particular time period.
You misspelled it, it is called DEMACIAAAAAAA
they have a LOT in common...
it’s brilliant, represents the whole idea of the film.
despite how much their society has progressed, they still fall back on old, unnecessary views, thinking those who are different are monsters.
I’m loving the awards comment since Nimona was actually nominated for an Oscar and Wish didn’t get nominated for anything
the best line in this movie that lives in my head rent free and can stay there for as long as it wants is "I don't know what's scarier.
The fact that everyone in this kingdom
wants to run a sword through my heart...
or that sometimes
I just wanna let 'em."
Fr
Had a perfect chance to do the Towlie typing in “Funky Town” in the outtakes
I watched it free on CZcams … I was like yo it’s to good to be true
As someone who read the original GN, this movie was AMAZING. It’s got a lot of similarities to the book but it’s not actually point for point. Nimona has a different backstory, the institution has different schemes, and Blackheart and Goldenloin’s relationship was much more up to interpretation, while definitely still there.
But then there’s also moments ripped directly, word-for-word and pose-for-pose, from the novel, like the Monopoly scene.
So good. So beautiful.
most of these sins are "look at this thing the movie did well!... SIN!"
It really warmed my heart when Cinema Sins gave a sin off to the scene when Nimona almost committed suicide. I went through the same crisis as her. I didn’t try to impale myself but it could have happen if I didn’t meet friends that told me I am not alone
6:16 - PIZZA RAT is worth a sin removal ;-)
I'm glad you did this one with respect. This movie spoke to my entire life, and the suicide attempt scene made me cry harder than any piece of fiction ever did.
thank you so much for removing a sin at the suicide part
that part made me cry so hard…
I've been watching Cinema Sins for yeeeears now. I've followed you since back in the "scene does not contain a lap dance" days and I just have to stop by and say it's been an absolute blast watching you mature while still having a great time. I'm in my early 30s so I get the old sense of humor and how we've gotten to where the channel is now because it's a path I also kinda followed myself in maturing.
This movie is beautiful and I knew that clicking on this Sins video I'd get some great jokes while simultaneously getting the chance to hear Jeremy talk about how absolutely gorgeous it was. I was not disappointed.
Thanks for your work, my dude.
I assure you he hasn’t matured. He’s 45 years old, he was making those sins in his 30s, the only reason he doesn’t anymore is it will have a bunch of angry twitter people after him
@@SweatySheets I mean, I'm in my 30s and I'm still maturing. People keep changing as long as they have the drive, my dude.
5:44 lol love that
0:25 To be fair, nobody wants to watch a show or movie where the kingdom actually IS in a time of peace.
No sin for the fact that they made it a big deal that Nimona got shot with an arrow, but then later she is absolutely fine after being impaled with a sword?
That bothered me too. Obviously the arrow hurt and caused some sort of damage, but the sword is of no concern whatsoever.
I adored this film and the allegory is super important for people to understand, especially with everything that’s happening as of recents.
No one you think needs to "understand" is going to watch this movie
@@JackStalik well, it's a children's film.
i'm saying it's a good concept for kids to understand, i'm not expecting 30 year olds to watch the film just because they heard there's a queer allegory in it lol.
5:33 felt like aot
"Hell, some folks probably didn't even see- *starts singing* the room where it happened, the room where it happened" MY INNER THEATRE KID HAS BEEN AWOKENED
Man… best movie review channel ever!
Thank you for what you do.
That’s a joke right?
Do I love this movie? Yes
Will I still watch a youtuber sin it? Yes
4:04 that made me laugh so much
Nimona at the start of the movie: "KILL" Nimona at the end of the movie " Oh I don't wanna be seen as a monster". Kinda made that bed yourself, didn't ya?
You can tell they wrote and recorded this before the Academy Awards nominations were released.
im scared for him counting a sin on one of my favorite parts on the movie..
What has he ever done to make you worried. Literally no faith in one of the most respectful CZcamsrs on the site... If you are scared, you either don't know his work or need to do some self reflecting.
@@dylanwatts9344I was at first but I got less sensitive. I just needed to take a break and calm down. It was during a hard time so I was kinda projecting my feelings onto the channel but now I can watch the videos without being upset.
@@Morrigan855
Understandable. Just remember who you are judging before judging them to harshly!
@@dylanwatts9344 I don’t judge too harshly anymore, I’ve grown past that. Don’t worry.
@@dylanwatts9344also “Anna Kendrick is not my girlfriend in this scene” “that’s what my college girlfriend told me” “skiiip” “Emma Watson is not old enough to be hot in this scene” is hardly respectful
2:58 " Scene manipulation!"
It can be seen in the same scene, which Jeremy did just cut out, where the laser coming out of the sword cuts the whole scoreboard in half! @Th3Birdman C'mon! This is just... Ofcourse, Satire.
6:44 This made me laugh out loud so hard, literally one of the best jokes ive heard thus far from Jeremy
"we live inside this walled city, there is nothing outside these walls besides monsters. Agriculture? whats that? can't be important for this large city"
This is one of the rare movies that i actually watched before i finished the CinemaSins video about it, and i am SO glad that i watched it first. This movie made me feel so many emotions and i could relate to it on so many levels.
For once, I actually listened to the spoiler warning, cinemasins.
3:30 Roll Credits!
I love the way that this guy is just handing out sins for the movie doing nothing hahahha
"Tonight's the night we knight the knights!"
"Nuh-uh. Sin."
An amazing moving, I was waiting for this video ❤
