If you're already anticipating the release of Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken, you're in the
right place. Today, we're going to give you a sneak peek and share essential insights to
make your viewing experience more enjoyable. So, sit back, relax, and get ready to dive into the
world of Ruby Gillman like never before. Let's start off with The Origin of Kraken, shall we?
You don't think of a Dreamworks flick when you hear the word Kraken. Right? You're probably
associating this word with a sea monster that destroys everything on its way. And that's exactly
what Kraken is. Chances are you've already seen a film with a Kraken in it. The monster
has appeared in Clash of the Titans (released in 1981) and in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's
Chest (released in 2006). And in the two films, the sea creature was depicted as a terrifying
monster capable of destroying entire ships and dragging sailors to their doom. Often mentioned
in folklore and mythology, it's not surprising that the creature is still used as the antagonist
in a lot of films set deep in the ocean. This time, however, Kraken will serve as the
protagonist in the story. Just like Disney's Descendants, Ruby Gillman will now portray a
different version of the character. A kind one. One that attempts to save the world from evil.
Evil in Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken will appear in the form of mermaids. The fact that the studio
behind the Shrek and How to Train Your Dragon franchises stands behind the upcoming movie is
another reason why fans have high expectations. So far, so good because the story is quite original,
the characters are, based on the trailer, well-developed, the cast ensemble is incredible,
and the animation is on a whole other level! The film will focus on the titular character of
Ruby Gillman (voiced by Lana Condor), who finds it hard to fit in her new school while dealing
with teenage problems and a very interesting heritage. Ruby leads a normal life until she
learns her family history. More precisely, she discovers she's the direct descendant of a long
line of royal Krakens. The Krakens in the world of Ruby Gillman are actually the protectors of
the ocean. Based on the trailers and the already given synopsis, Ruby Gillman will be about a girl
who attempts to save the world while embarking on a self-acceptance journey. Before we dive into
more details regarding cast, production, and plot, let's see if there's A Release Date yet

the creators' initial plan was to use the title "Meet the Gillmans." The first release date was
set for 2022. But there were some delays, and production was set to start that same year. Then,
the makers changed the name, and shortly after, they gave the official release date.

Kraken will be released in theaters this summer! What makes this film special are the differences,

It's funny that a couple of months ago, some fans thought Dreamworks is working on a film
about the hockey team from Seattle called Kraken. While others thought this would
be yet another story where Kraken is the main antagonist, and people (most likely detectives)
will have to go on a search for it in order to stop it from creating chaos. Luckily,
Ruby Gillman is nothing like the Krakens featured in older movies. She is one adorable
teenage girl who struggles a lot because of popular, mean girls. As mentioned before,
the DreamWorks animated feature will focus on the titular 16-year-old high school student.
Based on the synopsis, she is one of the awkward students who's ignored by her crush,
has no friends, and wishes to be accepted by others. Aside from this, she is just a regular
teenage girl living a regular teenage life and has an overprotective mom that gives her
some strict rules. The most important rule for Ruby is to never, ever, by any chance,
get into the ocean. But, as we all know, teenagers do the exact opposite of what they're told —Thanks
to her adventurous nature, Ruby will get into the ocean and discover she is actually a Kraken.
But no, she won't get the urge to destroy ships. Quite the opposite, she will try to protect the
ocean because Krakens in this world are the guardians of the ocean. Their biggest enemies
are the mermaids. In this film, the mermaids are the ones that need to be stopped because
their plan is to rule the world. This will be Ruby's purpose in the film. To save the world
from one particular mermaid named Chelsea. Ruby will embark on this wild adventure with the help
of her warrior queen grandmother. Isn't this one of the most original plots for an animated
film in the entire history of cinema? Now, let's do a Quick Trailer Breakdown, shall we?
Universal Pictures released the first trailer for Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken on March 16,
2023. The footage looks quite promising and confirms this will be one of the best films
released in 2023. And, of course, if the film proves to be successful and popular enough,
we might get a sequel! The trailer starts with a monologue from Ruby's grandmother (voiced by
the legendary Jane Fonda) explaining that the myths and legends about the oh-so-evil Kraken
are not really true. Based on what she says, these so-called monsters are not different
from humans. We are then introduced to the teenage protagonist Ruby. She
is seen preparing for school, dealing with school problems, popular girls,
high school crushes, and family secrets. And then, we meet the popular new student,
the arrogant Chelsea (voiced by Annie Murphy), who apparently hides a big secret. Chelsea is
actually an undercover mermaid and is going to do everything to annoy the fan-favorite
protagonist. After finding out that Chelsea plans to conquer the entirety of the surface world,
Ruby realizes it's time to learn more about her background and focus on saving the world.
On May 23, 2023, DreamWorks released the second teaser trailer for Ruby Gillman,
Teenage Kraken. And in this footage, we see Ruby dealing with different things,
including high school problems, mermaids, and the mentioned heritage. With so many things to focus
on, we wonder whether she'll be able to stop Chelsea. So, Who's Starring in Ruby Gillman?
DreamWorks Animation has gathered a star-stunned cast ensemble for their upcoming project. Voicing
the titular character of the movie with her amazing voice talents is Lana Condor. The
actress has previously appeared in "X-Men: Apocalypse," "Alita: Battle Angel," the "To
All the Boys" movies, "Moonshot," and the series "Deadly Class." Interestingly enough,
Ruby Gillman is her very first voice role. Next, we have the Academy Award nominee Toni
Collette. Collette is known for her work on films such as "Hereditary," "Knives Out,"
and the series "The United States of Tara." In the movie, she plays Ruby's mother. Ruby's grandmother
is voiced by Oscar-winner Jane Fonda. The actress has a lot of roles under her belt. From "Klute" to
"Coming Home," "80 For Brady," and the series "Grace and Frankie." We'll also hear Colman
Domingo, known for his role in "Fear the Walking Dead" as Ruby's dad, Sam Richardson as her uncle,
and Blue Chapman as her younger brother. The evil mermaid Chelsea will be voiced by Annie
Murphy. Murphy was amazing in the recent Black Mirror season 6 episode titled "Joan is Awful."
