    it's easy to make fun of the 'animation is cinema' type of person but they're all usually like fifteen so you can't really blame them but also i find it really funny how fans of "Dreamworks' Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken" are like the most unchained and angry people in the world

    'Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse' returns to the top of the box office in Week 4. Sony Pictures Animation’s “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” has returned to the top of the domestic box office, adding $19.3 million in its fourth weekend for a North American cumulative of $317.1 million, according to estimates from measurement firm Comscore. The critically acclaimed superhero film debuted in first place June 2 before it was fleetingly replaced by new installments from the “Transformers”…

    She's 86, and apparently still acting. She starred on the Netflix series Grace and Frankie (which ended in 2022), was a contestant in the 2020 edition of "Who wants to be a millionare?", and has a lot of film credits in recent movies such as "Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken" , "Book Club: The Next Chapter" , and "This Is Me... Now: A Love Story" So if the question is about recognizability - she's active enough that many of those on the younger side would indeed recognize her. As for relatability…

    (This week's movie was Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken, and it was cute! I felt like a couple of plot points might have gone confusingly missing between drafts, but I still had fun, the message was great, & the voice actors were fantastic. Colman Domingo! Toni Collette! Jane Fonda!)

    Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken was a huge flop and probably because it was announced late in the game. Ruby is an awkward teenage sea monster going to human high school and doesn't fit in so she seeks help from a "friend" but ends up defying her mother of using her secret powers. Turning Red vibes.

    Can't believe DreamWorks Animation gave us The Bad Guys and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish in one year, but then fumbled the ball on Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken and Kung Fu Panda 4. 😩 KFP1 and KFP2 was so peak in their character backstories and lore. Like doG. They were so GOOD.

    On cable? Because I saw trailers and ads for Forgotten Island online a lot. At least more than Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken. I also thought that at this point, it was expected that Disney, Pixar, and DreamWorks all put out a movie every year.

    I was burned by Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken, which was very one note despite having an interesting premise. Based on the trailer, this seems to be a J.M. Barrie remake also targeted at teens, and I'm afraid it would be one-note as well.

    Watched Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken. A little Red, a little Ponyo, a little Spongebob, a little Octodad. Characters have their charms but the film is held back by an off-the-shelf, underdeveloped plot. I like the undersea Lisa Frank aesthetic, but you can also tell where the budget ran short.

    8. Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken (2023) While it’s not one of DreamWorks’ strongest animated movies they ever made, it’s still alright. I love how while it’s still a CG-animated film, I like how cartoonish the characters looked. Also, Lana Condor did a solid job voicing the titular character.
