Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken

Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken (2023) is a DreamWorks family fantasy comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Shy high-schooler Ruby thinks she's just an ordinary girl, until she learns she descends from a line of warrior kraken queens.

For years Ruby's family has hidden among humans, and the one rule at home was simple: stay out of the ocean. Then Ruby breaks it, and the water wakes the very thing her mother worked so hard to bury. She balloons into a towering sea giant. From there everything lands at once. Her fierce grandmother (voiced by Jane Fonda) expects her to claim the throne, her glamorous new friend Chelsea is hiding a secret of her own, and the old feud between kraken and mermaids boils up to the surface. The voice cast includes Lana Condor, Toni Collette, Annie Murphy and Sam Richardson.

Director Kirk DeMicco turns a coming-of-age story into a bright underwater adventure about owning who you are, heavy on jokes and light on lectures. Ninety-two minutes built for family night. Stream Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken online on iFILM.
