Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken Trailer

The drama between DreamWorks Animation and Disney resurfaces in the trailer that introduces Ruby Gillman, a shy, awkward, and seemingly ordinary sixteen-year-old who’s just looking to survive high school like so many teens her age. As she navigates the choppy waters of coming-of-age, the dramas and dilemmas – like tutoring the boy of her dreams, avoiding the mean kids, and trying to free herself from the clutches of her over-protective mother – are blown out of the water by the incredible discovery that her destiny, in the depths of the ocean, is bigger than she ever dreamed. After defying her mother’s golden rule and taking a dip in the sea, Ruby discovers that she’s in fact a descendant of a royal line of the most feared mythical sea creatures: the kraken. Suddenly launched onto a journey of self-discovery, Ruby must keep her new identity a secret while she learns to control her new powers and become a sworn protector of the world’s oceans. And she’ll have to learn fast, the most popular girl at Oceanside High is hiding a secret, too: she’s a mermaid. With everything and everyone she loves under threat from the kraken’s ancient enemy, Ruby goes big to do battle with a not-so-little mermaid, who are the vain, power hungry, and true villains in this world. The animation looks beautiful and the voice cast is just as exciting as the hilarious, heartfelt action-comedy features Lana Condor as Ruby, who leads alongside Jaboukie Young-White, Toni Collette, Jane Fonda, Annie Murphy, Colman Domingo, and Sam Richardson. Discover the hero just below the surface when Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken comes to cinemas June 30.
