Echa, a student of cultural anthropology, involved herself in the project for her research.

The sequel to the 2010 live-action movie focuses on sibling rivalry.
The film follows the biblical story of Moses, from his time as a prince of Egypt, to a leader for the people of Israel. It’s a film that works brilliantly in animation, and is one that both children and adults can; enjoy despite its religious contexts, it is friendly to general audiences.
Intergenerational friendships and community can be so powerful, and this was a great example.
Animation as a medium of storytelling can be thought to be open to all ages and as I hope my reading will reveal, 'Nimona' could be interpreted as a transgender story.
