‘Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken’ Team on Challenges of Voice Acting and Portraying Mermaids as “Mean Girls of the Ocean”

Stars Jane Fonda, Lana Condor, Annie Murphy and Liza Koshy premiered their new DreamWorks deep sea adventure in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

Quinta Brunson, Daniels Talk Embracing Environmentalism on Screen and on Set: "We Have to Be Really Precise With What We're Doing"follows an awkward high school student who discovers she’s a direct descendant of the warrior kraken queens and destined to inherit the throne from her commanding grandmother . The kraken are sworn to protect the oceans of the world against vain, power-hungry mermaids.

Condor said it was a dream of hers to work with DreamWorks, and she was drawn to “the multi-generational aspect of our film — the grandmother, the mother, the daughter relationship, I was so excited about that” and admitted that the first time she saw it on the big screen, “I started crying at the DreamWorks opening.”

Koshy, who co-stars in the film, added, “When it comes to acting on screen, you are way more subdued, you’re way more thinking about your blinks, you’re way more reeled in with more of a natural response and more of a natural reaction. [With] voice acting, you get to sweat, you get to lose your mind, you get to have fun, you get to do guttural grunts and whatnot. The chaos you are in the booth is unparalleled.
