However, in this film, the krakens are the misunderstood heroes, and the Những nàng tiên cá are secretly villainous. Ruby wants to fit in at a human school, but considering the fact that she's a kraken, that's not easy to do. Things get thêm complicated for her when she starts growing into a large, powerful creature. Her mother wants her to stay away from the water. However, Ruby wants to discover the nature of her powers, so she seeks guidance from her grandmother. Her grandmother is a Queen that wants to train Ruby to become her successor. Along the way, Ruby meets a mermaid that appears to be not as evil as she's led to believe.
Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken has a cute coming-of-age story. Stories about teenagers having to learn their place in the world is fairly common in films, but this film keeps things fresh bởi having the story be told through the perspective of a kraken. Ruby has a compelling journey to explore, because she has to figure out if she's going to hide out on land for her whole life hoặc explore the potentially dangerous world of the ocean. Her complicated friendship with the mysterious mermaid adds thêm tension and interest to the story due to the krakens having a passionate rivalry with the mermaids. Also, having the krakens be good and the Những nàng tiên cá be bad is a fun twist that helps the film feel unique.
The film is a cute tale, so it requires a lovable protagonist. Thankfully, Ruby is one of Dreamworks's cutest protagonists. Her shyness and awkwardness make her relatable and charming. She is a lot of things, including a shy teenager, a princess and a superpowered kraken. Her unique traits and powers help her stand out amongst the large number of teenage protagonists who have coming-of-age stories. The conflicts between her, her mother and her grandmother are very compelling and well handled. The rest of Ruby's family are also well written, especially her quirky uncle.
The complicated friendship between Ruby and the new girl at school, who is a mermaid, is one of the film's most interesting subplots. At first, the mermaid appears to be the typical được ưa chuộng girl, but she turns out to be much thêm than just that. The film does a really good job at poking fun at The Little Mermaid. I'm someone who really likes The Little Mermaid, but I wasn't offended hoặc annoyed bởi the film's Little Mermaid parody. If anything, I was quite amused bởi all of it. Ruby's other Những người bạn don't factor as much into the plot, but they have their fun moments. In particular, Ruby's goth friend, Bliss, is very enjoyable.
The film has beautiful animation. The unique designs were one of the key aspects that made me want to see the film. Ruby has two very distinct designs in the film. Her regular form is adorable and lovable, while her superpowered thiết kế is very cool. In addition to being a coming-of-age film, the film is also an action-packed tale. The action in the film is really exciting and stylish, especially the film's climatic action scene.
Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken has come out during a very busy Summer. Sadly, this has led to the film struggling to get attention and make money. I think that this film is a very underrated, appealing and worth checking out. Thanks to a clever plot, a lovable protagonist and very pretty animation, the film is a great animated adventure.
