Created by the minds at DreamWorks Animation, Ruby Gillman follows the title character (Lana Candor), a seemingly ordinary teenage girl who's just trying to get her high school crush to notice her and who's forbidden by her family to ever go near the water right next to their town. Of course, teenagers are made to break rules, and eventually Ruby does take the plunge into the sea, only to discover an amazing and alarming transformation. You guessed it, she's a Kraken, but not just any Kraken. Ruby's actually a princess descended from a long line of warrior sea monsters who protect the ocean's creatures and battle any threats, including the dangerous presence of email mermaids. But will Ruby live up to her legacy, or just freak out?
Oh, and to make things even more complicated, the new popular girl in Ruby's school is a mermaid. What could possibly go wrong?

Directed by Kirk DeMicco (The Croods) with co-director Faryn Pearl (The Croods: A New Age), Ruby Gillman joins a long line of DreamWorks adventures for the whole family that includes recent hits like Puss in Boots: The Last Wish and The Bad Guys.
