The good news is that the film was picked up by Netflix and will finally be released next year. Will it mark the next step towards greater and better LGBTQ representation in animated films? Many hope it will.

For #pridemonth we're celebrating #LGBTQ #animation and this week, it's #film.
#Nimona has had a bit of a troubled history but the future looks bright. Once in development at Blue Sky an originally scheduled for release this year, production was halted and then canned entirely when Disney purchased the studios parent, FOX. A particularly disheartening development because the film, based on ND Stevenson's comic, features prominant LGTQ themes and characters.

‘Lilo & Stitch’ Director Got ‘Frustrated’ by ‘Frozen’ Praise: We Did Sisterhood Over Romance First
https://variety.com/2022/film/news/lilo-stitch-director-frustrated-frozen-1235300612/
First of all, Happy 20th anniversary to #LiloAndStitch! One of my fav #Disney movies, one of their best, and fo sho most creative. Also, #watercolor backgrounds!!
But also, they absolutely did sisters first. But, Frozen had the white, princess sisters that sing earworms, sooooo..... Guess which one our society glomed onto.
It irks me no end that #Pixar have had multiple flops at this point but everyone seems to pretend that they haven't and are still untouchable, impeccable, and better than every other studio. Disney marketing at its finest.

Films have a LOT less LGBTQ characters for a number of reasons, so they tend to be rare.
ParaNorman was the first to feature an LGBTQ character AND make that clear in the film when Mitch refers to his boyfriend. It doesn't seem like much now, but considering the film came out in 2012, it was an important first that spawned more.
