Review: 'Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken' gets some points docked for originality, but gets full marks for prompting young ones to go home and battle their Little Mermaid dolls, critic Mark Kennedy writes.
UNESCO’s 193 members states are gathering for a two-day meeting in Paris aimed at voting on the United States’ plans to rejoin the U.N. cultural and scientific agency.
Prom soon becomes the least of Ruby’s problems when she connects with her heritage and learns she’s a royal kraken, one of the last of her kind. Her estranged and formidable grandmother urges her to ditch the humans and reclaim her crown. “You can never outswim your destiny.” Director Kirk DeMicco keeps things moving at a hectic, pressurized pace on land and lets things float and swoosh in the sea. The animation really shines when it comes to water, whether the roiling ocean or a puddle-filled pier.
The script by Pam Brady, Brian C. Brown and Elliott DiGuiseppi isn’t airtight, with some bits that make little sense — why does Ruby become a giant Kraken in the library? Does she later become one just being angry, like the Hulk? — but its heart is in the right place and their story of generations being truthful to each other is a good one.
