Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken

Felt like a combination of Turning Red and some weird Dreamworks retaliation against the Little Mermaid. Decent one time watch but I feel like they gave it all away in the trailer.

With a clunky plot, lackluster third act battle, and a “twist villain” that was revealed in the trailer, the film came out very boring.

Why did I watch this

started off meh but better at the end. i’m generally opposed to how kids movies/tv shows are animated and written “nowadays,” for qualities that were present in this movie. despite the hurdles, i still somewhat enjoyed it, so i guess this is actually a pretty strong endorsement

it isnt anything special, i dont think ill remember the plot but it couldve been worse

This movie reminded me a lot of Disney’s “Turning Red”. The same whiny teenager, who almost ruins a world, and in the end acts like nothing happens. And although the art and animation is pretty nice, nothing sticks. 5/10
