Trans Allegories in Film: 'Nimona' (2023)
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.
The Malevolent
The story follows an awkward and overthinking teenage boy named Alfie, who is set to go on a date with a girl named Grace. However, Alfie is burdened with this “Malevolent” that won't leave his side. This in term is a visual representation for his overthinking and is causing him distress towards this date
