I am Sorry Film Club Members for another late review where On Thursday which was the 6th of July 2023 me and my two sisters went to Aylesbury Cinema to go and watch a new DreamWorks Animation film called Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken. This film is about a young Fifteen-year-old girl whose name is Ruby Gillman where one day everything is going well until she learns that she is in the next legendary line of sea krakens. Despite her lofty destiny, she is desperate to fit in at Oceanside High school. Where Ruby struggles even more to fit in when her mother forbids her from going to the beach. After disobeying her mother's rules, she discovers that she is descended from the warrior Kraken queens and will ascend to the throne as the Warrior Queen of the Seven Seas from her grandmother. The krakens are a race sworn to protect the world oceans from the vain, powerful and hungry mermaids by battling with eons. Ruby would need to embrace Chelsea, a mermaid-turned-human who enrolls at Oceanside High School. But will Ruby be in danger from Chelsea because of a secret she has or will mermaids and Krakens learn to live in the oceans peacefully together or will there always be war between them watch this film to find out what happens between the different kinds and chose a side are you a Kraken or a Mermaid This review has been given five stars which means I loved it as did my sisters because all that Ruby ever wanted was to live among the humans and go to the summer prom and for her mum to understand what she is going though in her life. So as I said at the start of this review sorry it is late but Film Club did not have it to write about when I saw this film two weeks ago. For a DreamWorks film this was good to recommend and watch again with family or with friends because the message of the film is that family is everything in life and that you should not lose each other because you will end up beginning on your own in life. Thank you for reading my review on Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken. I am on the Krakens side because you can never trust a mermaid. So that would make me a Kraken.
