Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken is an animated coming-of-age tale straight from the seashores. The story follows 16-year-old Ruby Gillman (voiced by Lana Condor), who's just like any other teenager trying to fit in at a new school. Except for one huge problem: She's apparently first in line to inherit the illusive undersea Kraken throne from her grandmother (Jane Fonda), a fact she discovers by accident. Liza Koshy's followers can look forward to her voice appearance; Schitt's Creek's Annie Murphy also plays a key role. It's safe to expect minor peril and some mature themes, but it will likely be humorous and heartwarming overall.
