DreamWorks Animation's Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken introduces an entire undersea world of titanic figures, teasing a host of entities that live under the sea (and occasionally find themselves at odds with the kraken kingdom). The film keeps DreamWorks' traditional focus on characters and their interplay, showcasing the titanic potential of creatures like the kraken and the mermaids. The result is a fun world that's worth exploring in more than one movie.

Universal and DreamWorks Animation's Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken brings the massive mythical sea creature into an entirely new light -- one that most people will be more familiar with than living as under the sea. Recasting the creature as a teenager going through life changes as she realizes her destiny -- and her true potential -- Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken plays with conventions of the high-school teen comedy and recasts it into a much larger space -- with the frequently funny and even occasionally beautiful animation bringing it to life.

This could easily make the family film sink under pressure, but its obvious cinematic rival might off a unique form of marketing.
