Having grown up watching animated classics such as Shrek and Kung Fu Panda, actor Lana Condor has always wanted to work with DreamWorks. "It was very integral to my childhood, having a huge impact on who I am today – they are still my comfort movies," she says, speaking to GamesRadar+. "And this was also a chance to create a brand new world with it being an original IP – we were afforded the luxury to build something DreamWorks has never really done before."
The result is dazzling adventure Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken, the story of an awkward teenager (Condor) who finds out that she is the descendant of a warrior kraken queen (Jane Fonda), a discovery that naturally throws Ruby's world into chaos. As Condor mentions, it's not based on any pre-existing material, therefore presenting something completely new amidst the sea of countless sequels, spin-offs, and remakes.
