Sometimes the hero you are meant to be lies just beneath the surface.
This summer, DreamWorks Animation dives into the turbulent waters of high school with a hilarious, heartfelt action comedy about a shy teenager who discovers that sheâs 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.
Sweet, awkward 16-year-old Ruby Gillman (Lana Condor, To All the Boys Iâve Loved Before franchise) is desperate to fit in at Oceanside High, but she mostly just feels invisible.
Sheâs math-tutoring her skater-boy crush (Jaboukie Young-White, Ralph Breaks the Internet), who only seems to admire her for her fractals, and sheâs prevented from hanging out with the cool kids at the beach because her over-protective supermom (OscarÂŽ nominee Toni Collette, Knives Out), has forbade Ruby from ever getting in the water.
But when she breaks her momâs #1 rule, Ruby will discover that she is a direct descendant of the warrior Kraken queens and is destined to inherit the throne from her commanding grandmother (Academy AwardÂŽ winner Jane Fonda), the Warrior Queen of the Seven Seas.
The Kraken are sworn to protect the oceans of the world against the vain, power-hungry mermaids who have been battling with the Kraken for eons. Thereâs one major, and immediate, problem with that: The schoolâs beautiful, popular new girl, Chelsea (Emmy winner Annie Murphy, Schittâs Creek) just happens to be a mermaid. Ruby will ultimately need to embrace who she is and go big to protect those she loves most.
Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken stars an extraordinary cast that includes Emmy winner Colman Domingo (Fear the Walking Dead) as Rubyâs supportive dad, Emmy nominee Sam Richardson (Veep) as Rubyâs enthusiastic uncle and Blue Chapman (Council of Dads) as Rubyâs cool little brother.
Directed by Academy AwardÂŽ nominated filmmaker Kirk DeMicco (Vivo, The Croods) and produced by Kelly Cooney Cilella (Trolls World Tour, Trolls), with Faryn Pearl (The Croods: A New Age, Trolls World Tour) serving as co-director, the film features a comedic powerhouse supporting cast, including Emmy nominee Will Forte (The Last Man on Earth), Emmy nominee Nicole Byer (Nailed It!), YouTube Diamond creator Liza Koshy (Liza on Demand), Ramona Young (Never Have I Ever), Eduardo Franco (Stranger Things) and Echo Kellum (Arrow).
