The movie also stars Chloë Grace Moretz in the titular role, and she spoke at length with the directors about their vision for the movie and the shapeshifting character, whose genesis began with a webcomic. Moretz said (via Tudum):
“When we were first getting started, one of the things I spoke to the directors about was that they wanted high highs and low lows, almost an erratic amount of emotion and chaos. And then when she’s quiet and still, it hits in a much more impactful way. It was a really interesting thing to play with.”

Nimona is up for Best Animated Feature Film (Nick Bruno, Troy Quane, Karen Ryan, Julie Zackary) at the 96th Academy Awards, along with fellow Oscar nomineesSpider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, The Boy and the Heron, Elemental and Robot Dreams. The character of Nimona, which was originally created in the pages of a webcomic by author ND Stevenson, appeared in print for the first time in the 2015 graphic novel. And actress Chloë Grace Moretz had a blast bringing the shapeshifter to life on the small screen. Moretz said in the same interview:
“There were probably millions of takes of me doing absolutely off-the-wall crazy stuff, but you can really tell how she has ups and downs, she’s throwing all these things out there, and then will kind of slam you rock hard in your stomach with this sweet honesty when she gets to her own truth. In those moments your heart really melts for her, and that’s something that really came across on the page and even more so in the movie now.”
