Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken is a 2023 DreamWorks film that focuses on the world of warrior krakens and evil mermaids, and life above the waves of the sea than just under them.
Plot[]
All that Ruby Gillman ever wanted is to be is a normal human teenager, despite knowing that she and her family aren't human at all while they live along side the surface dwellers of Oceanside. Due to Agatha Gillman's "don't go into the ocean" rule, Ruby had no idea she has the ability to become a giant kraken whenever her body is wet from the sea water. She discovered this ability when she went against her mother's rule to save Connor; a skater boy Ruby tutors in math and has a crush on him. Ruby being confused on what happened led to the new girl, Chelsea Van Der Zee taking credit for Ruby's rescue as the whole school accept her on the spot while Ruby still struggles to fit in.
