Prepare to be taken on a dazzling tour of Netflix's animation gem, Nimona, with your faithful guide, Phil Smith, aka Phil the Filipino. We're not just talking a casual stroll here, we're diving into the depths of this film's turbulent history, character evolution and sophisticated themes. From its initial concept at 20th Century Fox, through to Disney and finally reaching its home at Netflix, it's a journey that almost didn't happen. We'll celebrate its representation of a unique young heroine, peek behind the curtain of its production and revel in the joy and heartbreak that came with its creation.

Join Phil as he unpacks the powerful themes that Nimona grapples with, from acceptance to gender identity, and depression. We'll dissect the voice acting and animation, the real lifeblood of the film, and share our admiration for the resilience and courage of Indy Stevenson, the creator who saw it through against all odds. Not just a film review, this episode is a homage to storytelling and the importance of giving a voice to those who often feel voiceless. So take a seat and listen closely, because every story is worth hearing - and yours is no exception.
