Ruby finds out that she is a direct descendant of the warrior Kraken queens and that she is destined to seize the throne from her commanding grandmother, the Warrior Queen of the Seven Seas (Fonda) after she disobeys her mother’s (Collette’s) instruction about not going on the beach with any would-be companions. Ruby also discovers she is a direct descendant of the warrior Kraken queens. Ruby disobeys the rule that states she cannot go to the beach with any potential friends, resulting in this event.

The movie had been in the works for many years before its initial pitch, which was given to DreamWorks Animation. It was announced in June 2021 under its original title, Meet the Gillmans, and casting took place to play the role. Some actors considered for the job were Condor, Laura Dern, Michael Sheen, and Murphy. At the time of the announcement, 2022 was predicted to be the year of release. Paul Tibbitt was hired to direct the movie, and Brady was hired to write the screenplay when the production company decided to bring them on board. It was predicted that production would get underway in 2022 at the earliest. In March of 2023, it was reported that most of the voice cast members, Condor and Murphy’s confirmation, and DeMicco’s appointment as the new director in place of Tibbitt were all confirmed. Pearl also joined the project as the project’s co-director, while Kelly Cooney Cilella joined as the movie’s producer. Both of these roles are new to the production. This film was heavily influenced by John Hughes’s last three directorial efforts, namely Easy A (2010), Lady Bird (2017), and Booksmart (2019).

What is the Release Date of Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken?

The next film to be produced by the animation powerhouse will have its world debut on Friday, June 30, 2023. The picture’s title will be Ruby Gillman’s Teenage Kraken, and it will be released in theaters just in time for the Summer season.

Dreamworks’ most recent animated film, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022), which was nominated for an Academy Award and grossed more than a fair amount of money at the box office, was a smashing success for the studio. When all of this is considered, it shouldn’t come as much of a shock to learn that Ruby Gillman’s Teenage Kraken will have its world premiere in theaters only when it is finally released this Summer. After Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken completes its run in theaters and becomes available on video on demand, and the movie will very certainly find a home on Peacock, the streaming service that NBCUniversal owns. This corporation is the film’s parent.

The following is a summary of the events that take place in Ruby Gillman’s novel Teenage Kraken:

This coming Summer, DreamWorks Animation will plunge into the turbulent waters of high school with a hilarious and heartfelt action comedy about a shy teenager who discovers that she is part of a legendary royal lineage of mythical sea krakens and that her destiny, in the depths of the oceans, is bigger than she ever dreamed it would be. The film is titled “Kraken: The Legend of the Sea Monster,” and it will be released. Ruby Gillman, a sweet and awkward 16-year-old played by Lana Condor (To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before franchise), is eager to fit in at Oceanside High but mostly feels invisible there. She is currently giving her math lessons to her crush, a skater lad played by Jaboukie Young-White in Ralph Breaks the Internet, who only seems to admire her for her fractals. Ruby cannot hang out with the cool kids at the beach because her overprotective supermom (Toni Collette, nominated for an Academy Award for Knives Out) has strictly prohibited her from ever entering the sea. This prevents Ruby from being able to socialize with the other kids. But when she disobeys her mother’s number one rule, Ruby will learn that she is a direct descendant of the warrior Kraken queens and that she is destined to take the kingdom from her commanding grandmother, the Warrior Queen of the Seven Seas (Jane Fonda, winner of an Academy Award), played by Jane Fonda. The egotistical and power-hungry mermaids have conflicted with the Kraken for eons, and the Kraken has sworn to safeguard the globe’s oceans from them. The fact that the school’s most stunning and well-liked new student, Chelsea (played by Emmy winner Annie Murphy from Schitt’s Creek), is a mermaid is a significant and pressing issue. Ruby will finally need to accept herself and take risks to safeguard the people and things she cares about the most.
