A bland and boring piece of animation.
Man, this movie bombed at the box office with a budget of 70m, with it only making 40m at the box office. Maybe that why you can stream it pretty much anywhere Netflix Peacock and I can see why Ruby Gilman Teenage Kraken is a basic movie with bland characters and every cliché in the book and the animation is just ugly in my opinion, with basic shapes that feel more like Illumination and not DreamWorks same studios that brought you Shrek and How to Train Your Dragon everyone.
I just wish this movie was a bit more creative since the concept works on paper but unfortunately in it execution it falls flat on it fishy face. So Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken is a boring and bland movie with subpar animation and every beat you've seen a countless times before in other movies, especially modern children's movies. - mafdenver - 22 March 2024
Another preachy kids movie
This was my granddaughter's pick for the weekend. I normally like Dreamworks - but they're jumping on Disney's bandwagon. There's a Hollywood trend that children MUST be exposed to sexual identity politics as young as possible. Just plain fun isn't enough for kids' movies; there MUST be lessons taught for entertainment because movie producers know best. But the very worst part - our young heroine sounds like an idiot, which I'm noticing in more and more kid movies. I would like to think that after a decade or so of education, young women can be somewhat articulate? I asked my pre-teen granddaughter, "Is this inane babbling a thing now?" She looked at me like I was nuts and said no with a sneer. Thank god. So - it's okay to push sexual identity issues AND make girls sound like silly twits, while dumping some made-up blue girl's problems on us? Ugh.
