One of the highest-rated and best Netflix movies is streaming for free right now on YouTube.
Nimona is a fantastic animated movie, starring Chloe Grace Moritz as Nimona, Riz Ahmed as Ballister and Eugene Lee Yang as Goldenloin.
It's a superb tale set in a strange futuristic medieval world, where a knight enlists the help of a shape-shifting teen (Nimona) when he is framed for a crime he didn't commit.
With diversity and inclusion some of the main themes running throughout the movie, it's a very prevalent tale right now and one that comes from the mind of cartoonist ND Stevenson (who also created the fantastic She-Ra for Netflix).
It's been nominated for an Oscar for Best Animated Feature and this is one of the reasons that Nimona is now available to those who haven't got a Netflix subscription.
Its makers are hoping that more people will watch and spread its story of inclusion far and wide.
It's certainly a story that has resonated with many. Currently Nimona stands at 93% on Rotten Tomatoes, making it one of the best-ever rated movies on the service.

This is what the critics are saying...
Empire: "Both enthusiastically irreverent and deeply sincere, Nimona is a revisionist fairytale that forges its own path visually and narratively to beautiful effect."
IGN: "Netflix’s Nimona confronts the monster of intolerance in a funny and tender family film."
The Guardian: "While the themes – misunderstood monsters, fear of difference and the unknown – are familiar, there’s an underlying message that sets the film apart."
Entertainment Weekly: "Nimona's release on Netflix continues 2023's record as a strong year for animation from lesser-known creators and studios."
IndieWire: What could have been a generic piece of standard Netflix fare in less skillful hands ends up being a nuanced story of belonging that’s slightly less cliche-ridden than you might expect.
Nimona is available to stream on YouTube now, but you will have to be quick - it is only streaming on the service until 25 February.

As Content Director of Shortlist, Marc likes nothing more than to compile endless lists of an evening by candlelight. He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
