Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken is finally here! Let's dive into the thrilling conclusion of
the movie and unravel the mysteries behind the enigmatic ending. From
the intricate details to the symbolism and the surprising theories, get ready
to have your mind blown as we provide our own interpretation of the ending and its meaning.
The latest DreamWorks release follows a high schooler, who struggles trying to fit in until she
discovers she comes from a long line of Krakens. Fans have different opinions about Teenage Kraken
as some claim this is one of the best Pixar releases and are already anticipating a sequel,
while others are not so happy with the conclusion of the movie and expected more from it. Which side
are you guys on? So the film introduces us to the Queen of Krakens (a character voiced by
the legendary Jane Fonda) as she explains that even though humans have tried to find out as
much as they can about the world underwater, they've come up with a lot of misconceptions,
suggesting that the myths and the stories about Krakens being monstrous
ship-destroyers are wrong. According to the Queen, they are powerful warriors.
We are then introduced to the town of Oceanside,
where we meet the titular character, Ruby Gillman (voiced by Lana Condor). She is a
young Kraken living on the surface world with her parents Agatha (voiced by Toni Collette)
and Arthur (voiced by Colman Domingo). She has a little brother, Sam (voiced by Blue Chapman). Oh,
she also has a pet squid named Nessie. We then meet Ruby’s best friends,
Margot (voiced by Liza Koshy), Bliss (voiced by Ramona Young), and Trevin (voiced by
Eduardo Franco). The teens are preparing to go to prom, but since the event will be set on a boat,
Ruby is not allowed to go, which is why she and her friends missed a lot of events in the past.
Ruby then tries to convince her mother to let her go, but her mother is strict and claims this is
a rule Ruby has to respect. The protagonist then tries to ask her long-time crush, Connor, whom she
is tutoring in math on a prom date. Ruby’s friends suggest she should use confetti cannon when asking
Connor on a prom date. He then sees Ruby with the confetti cannon and takes it from her,
which leads to him blasting himself in the face with confetti. He then slips on the skateboard
and finds himself in the water. This event leads us to Ruby's true identity. After going into the
water to save her crush, she comes out, and all of a sudden, she starts glowing purple,
and viewers can see a pulse going across the ocean. She, however, successfully saves Connor.
The thing is, everyone, thinks someone else saved Connor. We then meet the villain of the movie,
the new girl in town, Chelsea Van Der Zee (voiced by Annie Murphy.) She starts
telling people that she was the one who saved Connor, and when Ruby tries to talk to him,
her left hand starts glowing. Terrified, Ruby goes to the library and tries to get her mother
on the phone, but before she could reach her, she grows a huge size and destroys the library.
We then have Ruby's parents and her brother trying to reach her as they already know what happened
because, as mentioned before, Ruby comes from a long line of Krakens. In fact, her grandmother,
that lives underwater, is the Queen of Krakens. Ruby's mother then explains that she should
not feel like a monster because she is not one. Then, we see Ruby following Brill to the water.
Brill goes to inform his grandmother about what happened to Ruby. Anyway, Ruby goes underwater
and grows massive again. Brill takes her to the Kraken kingdom to meet the Queen, who asks Ruby
to call her “Grandmamah”. She then tells her granddaughter that the villains in the sea are
the mermaids, and the Krakens have been actually in a long-lasting war with these evil creatures.
The mermaid Queen Narissa tried to rule the ocean using the Trident of Oceanus, but Agatha
did not allow this to happen and banished the mermaids. When the Queen explains to Ruby
that she is the one next to the throne, Ruby panics and flees away. On her way,
she falls into a trap laid out by sailor Gordon Lighthouse (voiced by Will Forte). Seconds
before he kills Ruby, Chelsea saves the day by freeing her, revealing herself as a mermaid.
The next day, Ruby desperately tries to go back to her regular and sometimes boring life. But then,
footage of her Kraken form surfaces. Ruby decides to ditch school with Chelsea. Chelsea takes Ruby
underwater and tells her about the trident. In her own words, her mother was killed trying to get it
back. She then asks Ruby to get the trident while uniting mermaids and Krakens, and Ruby agrees.
She goes to her grandmother in order to train and get more powerful so that she could get the
trident, and everyone could live in peace and harmony. The thing is, Ruby trusted Chealsea,
a thing she should have never done. On prom night, Ruby tells her mother about the whole Mermaid
befriending Kraken thing, and when she hears this, she forbids Ruby to go to her grandmother. Ruby
then runs away to grab the trident for Chelsea. And when she finally retrieves it, Chelsea shows
who she truly is. She goes on her way to destroy the city after growing a huge size and trapping
Ruby. Ruby's mother and grandmother try to stop Chelsea, and in the meantime, Brill finds Ruby
and tries to encourage her, saying she should not give up. She goes to the surface to stop Chelsea,
and the three women realize that with enough power, they can destroy the trident together.
They manage to do just that, defeating Chelsea and bringing her to her normal size, where she is
captured by Gordon. The end of the movie sees Ruby and her friends going back to their normal life,
and yes, Ruby asks Connor on a date, which he accepts. They are now a couple as she also leads
a life as the protector of Oceanside. Before we delve into the hidden meaning of the ending,

Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken explores various themes while teaching young girls to love
themselves, even if they are different. In fact, that's a good thing! The film also addresses the
body change we all go through as Ruby's body undergoes a surprising transformation. Ruby
feels awful. She even asks herself if her friends would want to be close to someone as different as
her. She starts questioning everything when she goes through this transformation. But the very
ending implies that being a Kraken, being different could be a good thing. So yeah,
Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken, first teaches us that acceptance and embracing difference
is very important. It also teaches us that We Should Choose Our Own Path
The powerful Agatha could have had a very different life. She could have been a Kraken,
but she simply chose not to go on this path. She didn't want Ruby to go on Grandmamah's
path too. So, in order to keep her family safe, Agatha lived her life on the surface, trying to
lead a normal life. When Ruby discovers that her mother once saved Krakens from a huge disaster,
which makes her a very powerful warrior, she is shocked. She then sees the life her grandmother
chose, and she is confused, struggling to choose her own path because these two important figures
in her life chose a very, very different life. On the other side, Ruby wants to be like Chelsea.
Chealsea is the popular girl, the girl everyone loves. And when Chelsea befriends Ruby,
the event leads to Ruby making bad decisions. Chelsea knows that she
can easily manipulate Ruby because Ruby has a hard time fitting in,
so she uses this in order to defeat her. It's very simple. Ruby is often desperate to be liked,
which is why she made those poor decisions. This means you should embrace your differences
and just show the world how unique and amazing you are! That concludes our explanation of the
Teenage Kraken ending. We hope this in-depth analysis has shed light on the mysteries and
symbolism that made the film so great. If you found this video insightful, don't forget to
