206: Nimona (2023)

"Kids. Little kids. They grow up believing that they can be a hero if they drive a sword into the heart of anything different. And I'm the monster?"

To help raise awareness of the fight of The Animation Guild's quest for a better contract, The Wives Colangelo are kicking off a month of celebrating recently released animated coming-of-age films and starting with NIMONA. Let's talk about queerness, introducing heavy themes to children, not shying away from issues of mental health, and BJ breaks her record for the time it takes to start crying in an episode! IT'S TIME TO BREAK STUFF, LET'S GET METAL!
