Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:In a time where studios and streaming services are thriving on fantasy reboots, prequels, sequels, and live-action adaptations, let us not forget another essential pilar of fantasy fiction: animation. This article starts with a brief commentary on fantasy animation productions for streaming and then focuses on the analysis of one of the most recent works from the Netflix catalogue: Nimona (2023), a Troy Quane and Nick Bruno adaptation of ND Stevenson’s graphic novel of the same name. This paper intends to look at the relationship between the original and the adaptation, giving special attention to the monstrous figures they feature, highlighting the way certain characters are represented in order to subvert core tropes of fantasy fiction such as monsters, villains, heroes, and the relationship between good and evil. The main goal is to ascertain how streaming companies are influencing the development of such works, and how these, in turn, are contributing to the development of fantasy fiction.
