I received a copy of this movie to review.
** I truly enjoyed this film. DreamWorks' "Teenage Kraken" is an exciting animated movie about Kailani, a young Kraken who wants to explore the ocean. During her journey to grow up, she discovers her special power to control water and befriends various sea creatures. Kailani and her new friends work together to save their underwater world from an old danger, highlighting the themes of believing in yourself and teamwork. The movie is visually stunning and heartwarming, perfect for everyone to enjoy. **
Dive into the turbulent waters of high school with this heartwarming action comedy about a shy teenager who discovers that she’s part of a legendary royal lineage of mythical sea krakens and that her destiny, in the depths of the oceans, is bigger than she ever dreamed. Learning to be an all-powerful sea creature while hiding among humans is hard enough for Ruby, but to make matters worse, her super popular new bestie, Chelsea, is secretly a mermaid! Mermaids have been battling the Krakens for eons to rule the ocean, but Chelsea has come to land to finally put an end to that conflict. However, when Chelsea double-crosses her, Ruby will ultimately need to embrace who she is and GO BIG to protect those she loves most.
The film is directed by Kirk DeMicco (Vivo, The Croods), produced by Kelly Cooney Cilella (Trolls World Tour), co-directed by Faryn Pearl (story artist, The Croods: A New Age, Trolls World Tour), and written by Pam Brady (South Park). The all-star cast includes Lana Condor (“To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” franchise), Golden Globe® winner Toni Collette (The Boxtrolls, Knives Out), Emmy® winner Annie Murphy (“Schitt’s Creek”), Emmy® winner Colman Domingo (“Fear the Walking Dead,” Transformers: Rise of the Beasts), Emmy® nominee Sam Richardson (“Ted Lasso”), Liza Koshy (Transformers: Rise of the Beasts), Emmy® nominee Will Forte (“The Last Man on Earth”), Jaboukie Young-White (Strange World, Ralph Breaks the Internet), Eduardo Franco (“Stranger Things”), Ramona Young (“Never Have I Ever,” “Legends of Tomorrow”), and Academy Award® winner Jane Fonda (Book Club: The Next Chapter, 80 For Brady).
