Release The Kraken!
Dreamworks Animation plunges into an underwater fantasy with Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken
PREPARE FOR A SERIOUS smackdown beneath the Seven Seas with Dreamworks Animation’s new family-friendly animated feature Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken.
This ’90s-style coming-of-age fable centres on the gangly teenager of the title (Lana Condor) who discovers that she is descended from generations of mythical sea krakens and that her true destiny lies in a fantastic oceanic kingdom. An ancient feud pits krakens against mermaids in an underwater clash of epic proportions, as we learn that appearances are deceptive and mermaids might not be the alluring enchantresses of maritime folklore…
Directed by The Croods’ Kirk DeMicco from an original screenplay by DeMicco and Pam Brady, Ruby Gillman is poised to be parent company Universal Pictures’ third animation sensation, after the box office bonanzas of Dreamworks’ Puss In Boots: The Last Wish and Illumination’s blockbuster The Super Mario Bros Movie.
