Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken Blu-ray/DVD Splashes Into Homes this Month!

Editor’s Note: This review of “Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken” was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Real Mom of SFV would like to acknowledge that without the labor of the writers and actors who are currently on strike, animated films such as this would not be possible.

Plunge into the action with the all-new coming-of-age aquatic adventure in DreamWorks Animation’s, “Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken” Collector’s Edition, available now on Digital and Blu-ray/DVD on September 26th!

The film features voice actors Lana Condor, Toni Collette, Annie Murphy, Jaboukie Young-White, Colman Domingo and Jane Fonda.

Earlier this year, my daughter and I visited the DreamWorks Animation campus to watch an early screening of “Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken.” You can read all about our fun experience, plus my movie review here.

So what is “Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken” about? Check out the synopsis below!

“Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken,” is a heartwarming action comedy about a shy teenager who discovers that she’s 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. Learning to be an all-powerful sea creature while hiding among humans is hard enough for Ruby, but to make matters worse, her super popular new bestie, Chelsea, is secretly a mermaid! Mermaids have been battling the Krakens for eons to rule the ocean, but Chelsea has come to land to finally put an end to that conflict. However, when Chelsea double-crosses her, Ruby will ultimately need to embrace who she is and GO BIG to protect those she loves most.
