About Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken

Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken is a 2023 American animated teen comedy film directed by Kirk DeMicco and written by Brian C. Brown, Elliott DiGuiseppi and Pam Brady. Produced by DreamWorks Animation, it stars the voices of Lana Condor, Toni Collette, Annie Murphy, Colman Domingo, and Jane Fonda. The film follows a shy Kraken girl named Ruby Gillman (Condor) who is desperate to fit in at Oceanside High. When she breaks her mother's (Collette) rule by going into the ocean with any would-be friends, she discovers that she is a direct descendant of battle-hardened krakens who have protected the sea from evil mermaids for generations, and is also destined to inherit the throne from her grandmother (Fonda). Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken had its world premiere at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival on June 15, 2023, and was released in the United States by Universal Pictures on June 30. The film received mixed reviews from critics and was a box-office bomb, grossing $46 million against a $70 million budget, which made it DreamWorks Animation's second-lowest-grossing film to date (after Spirit Untamed in 2021) and their second computer animated film to make less than its budget (following Trolls World Tour, which was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, in 2020).
