DreamWorks did not just copy Turning red. They also copy Little Mermaid 2. I’m not joking.

Mei and her mom had more personality than Ruby and her grandma

Nearly every DreamWorks films has copied Pixar and Disney since the beginning. Boss baby feels like Toy Story written by family guy writers making their 1st PG movie.

What I love about major film companies is that when one company releases a really good film (Puss n Boots for example) everyone is like “omg they are the next best thing, they are the greatest company” and then release something like Teenage Kraken. Every company does this and it’s hilarious. Also great video your really underrated!

My mom likes Ruby Gillman more, because she's more tame than Mei, but I adore Mei because of her quirks. She is so typical for her age, someone I wish I could have been at that age. So confident, happy, loud, awkward. I love her so much, and that is already without taking the panda into consideration. Edit: I still do like Ruby Gillman, but the best thing is Chelsea to be quite honest!

Ants and A bug life left the chat

What annoys me most about Teenage Kraken is how everyone thinks she’s human when she is. _Literally_ . *Blue.*

"Ruby Gillman" also borrows elements of "The Little Mermaid" (especially since Chelsea looks like the traditional Ariel & this movie was released the same year as the live-action remake), and someone pointed out that it also borrow elements of "Carmilla." *Replace vampires with krakens & merfolk. *The main villain tricks main character into becoming friends with them so they can get something that'll make them stronger. *Villain goes under a false identity, and their true selves turn out to be a much older & bigger threat. Of course the major differences between "Ruby" & "Carmilla" is tone of the relationships. In "Carmilla" there are heavy lesbian undertones because Marcilla/Carmilla is a vampire that only targets women as her victims; While in "Ruby," Chelsea/Narissa was just gaslighting the next ruler of the Kraken kingdom to hand over Posidon's triton to her.

On an unrelated note I have noticed a pattern with American animation studios this decade: 2020:Pixar’s year. 2021:Disney’s year. 2022: DreamWorks’s year. 2023:Sony’s year. 2024:Pixar’s year. It helps that Zootopia 2 is coming in 2025

I agree with you. I never liked Ruby Gillman Teenage Kraken. I knew it was a copy of Turning Red but I didn’t realise it was also a copy of Luca. Sure they’re both underwater movies but they were some similarities I didn’t notice until now. Great video by the way. What makes this even worse is that Luca and Turning Red are both one of my favourite Pixar movies, and here’s a message to DreamWorks. To quote Mr. Krabs: “I trusted you. And you gave me this.

if i had a nickle every time that dreamworks coppied pixar i would have 2 nickles

It’s been going on since 1998: A Bugs Life vs Antz Ratatouille vs Turbo Toy Story 4 vs How to Train your Dragon the Hidden World Inside Out vs Orion and the Dark Cars3 vs Kung fu panda 4 All of these end up with the Pixar version being better. Pixar have a spark that DreamWorks simply don’t have.

I always see Ruby Gillman as the Dreamworks *equivalent* of Luca. They've been doing this since Antz and Bugs Life. Now they're doing it again recently with Wild Robot and Wall-E. So far we have A Bug's Life VS Antz Monster Inc. vs Orion and The Dark Finding Nemo vs Shark Tales The Incredibles vs Megamind Cars vs Turbo Ratatouille vs Flushed Away Wall-E vs The Wild Robot The Good Dinosaur vs The Croods Brave vs How to Train your dragon Luca vs Ruby Gillman Hercules vs Sindbad Mulan vs Kung Fu panda Emperor New Groove vs Road to El Dorado Chicken Little vs Chicken Run Meet the Robinson vs Mr Peabody and Sherman Frozen vs Rise of The Guardians Zootopia vs The Bad Guys Wish vs Puss in Boot: The Last Wish And I feel like Inside Out vs Me And My Shadow, Soul vs B.O.O, King of the Elves vs Trolls and Toy Story vs Alma would have been a possibility had those movies been released.

Pixar: Turning Red DreamWorks: Turning Red, but blue

Quite frankly, DreamWorks should be embarrassed for copying Pixar’s homework. That’s the biggest F that they deserve.

A company has to be pretty low on idea when they copy Turning Red💀

An unrelated note if Inside Out 2 and Elio actually ends up being good, Pixar might be picking itself back up For Dreamworks I’m hoping Wild Robot is good, it sucks that Kung Fu Panda 4 wasn’t great

Not to mention the style of the animation and how the characters look are similar.

Dreamworks has been doing this in some way ever since their first movie because Katzenberg was salty that he wasn’t aloud to make Toy Story edgy lmao

I honestly like both movies but I feel like Turning Red was more memorable and the message was more clear. And hey. Technically Ruby Gilman didn’t copy Turning Red since they started production one year before Turning Red. It was a coincidence that both movies with the same message released one year and then another

The Real Irony Is That Turning Red Feels More Like A DreamWorks Movie Than Ruby Gillman, An Actual DreamWorks Movie.

Sounds like both are just extremely formulaic (doesn't mean automatically bad mind you).

But blue

Being both or more similar movie don’t exactly mean they’re ripoffs, but they can have some different themes too! For example: Turning Red is land based and the protagonist is based on a fluffy mammal Meanwhile, Teenage Kracken is sea based and the protagonist is based on a sea creature

This isn’t anything new, Dreamworks steals Ideas from Disney All the time. It’s kinda their thing 🤷‍♀️

FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT! I thought I was the only one who noticed!!

"Son of a mustache"-Don Carlton 5:01

As a die hard fan of turning red I REALLY WANTED TO LIKE GILLMAN I really did... But like.. The trailers spoiling the plot and the mediocre dynamics ruby has with others just didn't cut it for me 😑😐

The sad thing is that Ruby Gillman had so much potential (there was scrapped plot lines on TV Tropes that I feel would’ve massively improved the film) and after the huge success of Dreamworks’ two movies before it (Bad Guys and Puss in Boots 2) everyone, myself included believed Dreamworks was going to overtake Disney (and Pixar) as being in better shape as they had two flops the previous year. We all thought Ruby would be the hit and Elemental would be flop, only to find out the exact opposite happened. What didn’t help either is according to TV Tropes is that the pitch for Ruby began in around 2015 but production didn’t begin until around 2020 only for COVID to disrupt production again. The film also was supposed to have Paul Tibbitt (known for being involved in SpongeBob) attached. Around August 2021 he was replaced by Kirk DeMicco, shortly after the release of DeMicco's previous film Vivo, when DreamWorks Animation wanted the project to take a different direction with 18 months left for completion with it finally being approximately finished in March 2023. PS Wow, congrats at how many views this video has. I think this is your most viewed video yet? It appears to be miles ahead of your other videos (which definitely deserve more views as is, I find your videos quite funny, entertaining, and overall well made).

Nah nice video, easily subscribed. Like quality for such a small channel. Keep up the good work!

It’s more similar to Luca

I felt the same watching Ruby 😅 glad I'm not the only one who noticed

Bro is so underated

I asked my sister which which was better RGTK and Turning Red to which she immediately responded after watching both movies that that RGTK copied Turning Red

This wouldn’t be the first time

I think Turning Red is underrated despite its flaws This film on the other is probably Dreamworks worst film in a while it’s unfortunate Dreamworks films after this didn’t get better

Did not realize there was THAT many

I noticed they are similar too. But I enjoyed Ruby gillman more then Red

I swear in the intro you were both just trying not laugh also good luck escaping dreamworks hopefully they dont force you to work on megamind 3: return of titan

ERM ACTUALLY ☝🤓 They did NOT start production at the same time, turning red being developed/announced in as FAR BACK AS 2018 (the idea first being pitched in 2017, though) And coming out in 2022: Luca Being announced/first in production in 2020 and coming out in 2021: And ruby gillman: teenage kraken being released publicly in june of 2023, with only the cast being announced in 2023. Only other info I could find was that the IDEA of a kraken family was pitched in 2016, later transfering to dreamworks, and it was announced with a new title on march 16th 2023. SO.. Its possible that 'ruby gillman teenage kraken' was in production before turning red and luca, but with Both of the movies being announced before them and soon after being RELEASED before them; its possible they tweaked the actual movie quite a lot, taking and taking elements from each of the other 2 movies, since they were doing SO WELL. Not quite sure, just wanted to share some info! ^^ Edit: Switched up my wording a bit to make more sense, lol

Either way, both were bad.

Not ganna lie turning red is not even that bad of a movie

Finally someone pointed it out

this guy is cool asf how doesnt he have 1mil already?

The concept for Ruby Gillman was thought out LITERAL YEARS before Turning Red.

They started by copying Disney, so it doesn't shock anyone

the resemblance is uncanny

This is why I FREAKING hate Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken!!!

Do people not realize how long it takes to animate a movie? Let alone a 3D one? Sure they’re similar but there’s no conceivable way that Dreamworks could, think of a new plot, animate a whole 60min+ movie, find voice actors, and market the thing in a few months

When i first watched Ruby gilman after 20 minutes, i said okay this is just a ripoff of turning red, one of my favorite pixar movies

But...... Wasn't Teenage Kraken in production before Turning Red...???

Im mot gonna lie i thought based on the trailers i thought teenage kraken the humans were all fish people they were drawn so weird

Underrated asf. good work!

What are your thoughts on current animation studio collapse

See this is what I am trying to say they did copy Pixar and disney

As much as i love to say this, Shark Tale is a million times better than Ruby Gillman

DreamWorks isn’t failing.. they made a masterpiece. Shrek✨

To be honest, even though I actually enjoyed "Trolls Band Together" very much, I feel like the middle section of the movie copied "Vivo," Sony Pictures Animation's first ever animated musical. Let me tell you why. Not only did Dreamworks name Camila Cabello's character, Viva (which is also Spanish for life), but she also went through a similar character arc the same way the titular kinkajou from "Vivo" did. After reuniting with her sister, Poppy after years of being separated, Poppy says she has to leave with Branch and his brothers to go to Mount Rageous, save Floyd, and she offers Viva to come with her. But Viva does not take this well because she's afraid of leaving her home at the abandoned Bergen golf course, and she doesn't want Poppy to leave her again, so she tries to pursuade her into staying with her forever, but this attempt doesn't really go well until Poppy leaves her memory book on purpose so Viva could see it. Then Viva realizes the error of her ways once she meets Bridget and Gristle, and she comes with them to help Poppy, Branch, and the others take down Velvet and Veneer. This feels so similar to "Vivo" because in the beginning of the movie, Andrés is so excited to go to Miami to see Marta Sandoval (his long-lost love) again so he could show her the song that he's written for her, but Vivo does not take this well because he's afraid of leaving his home in Havana, and that's because he spent most of his life there playing music with Andrés, but right after he comes to his senses and realizes that Andrés does need that trip, tragedy comes, so Vivo decides to go to Miami to bring Andrés' song to Marta himself (then he meets Gabi along the way). I feel like Dreamworks also copied Sony because they did a similar character arc for Viva, but at least they did it differently. Am I the only one who noticed this?

Wow… This is literally the definition of copying and pasting.

i can't believe dreamworks basically copied four different movies: luca, turning red, the little mermaid, and the princess diaries

I feel like Dreamwork went downhill after Puss In Boots 2.

I think it's just a coinidence,movies take what? 4 years to make? and they came out a year apart from each other? I find it impossible for teenage karken to copy turning red,now if the movies are 4 years apart instead of a year,then yes it would have a bunch of questionable problems

DreamWorks has way more sequels than Pixar

Remember, when everyone was like dreamWorks will surpass Disney because of Puss in boots oh boy, they were wrong….

Lol this video is great, you deserve more subs

the worse movie copys the worst movie(i swwear i hate both)

both turning red and ruby gillman teenage kraken are both somewhat sexist only ruby gillman is not as bad because it represents nature (like the female black widow is bigger then the male) and turning red represents well... a girls period!

They copied both little mermaid and turning red holy s-

Good video. Gotta watch both, side by side, now.

HOW IS THIS NOT POPULAR

Turning Blue.

You all don't know this but Dreamworks and Pixar had this whole copy war since their beginnings. Some of the people who worked on Pixar/Disney originally went to work with Dreamworks animators come and go to studio all the time now ideas this isn't anything new. Heres the movie copy line up. Antz=Bug Life, pathetic ant main character who loves princess ant, and deals with bullies above them. Shrek=Monster. Inc, monster renowed for their roars, then monster loves a female character, with a wise cracking sidekick. Shark Tale=Finding Nemo, a fish whose reminded of their lowlife, and vegetarian sharks. Flushed Away=Ratatolie, rats downed in a sewer wanting a higher life for themselves, while a fat rat takes advantage of them. Turbo=Cars, racers wanting to win a champion cup but stuck in their miserable small town lives. my personal favorite How to train your dragon=Brave, both northern european teenagers who disagree with their culture norms, conflicts with their dominate parent, and end up fighting a giant monster at the end Red Death/Mordew. Besides theres times Pixar copies other movies the Good Dinosaur from Land Before time, young longneck dino losing their parents, seeing their ghosts, making friends with T-rexes etc. Toy story 3 takes heavily from Brave Little Toaster, both beloved items from their grown up owners leaving them, ended up in facilities that constantly remind them less of what they are, and an antagonist(Air conditioner/Lotzo) that has a mental breakdown while taking it out on the heroes, both heroes end up in a junkyard and reunited with their owners. Other animated movies that take from others Thief and the Cobbler/Aladdin, Rescuers down under/Fievel goes west, and Titan A.E/Treasure Planet just to name a few.

I respect your opinion on Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken! 😁👍

Did I just found a jem with only 618 subscribers

Just because you use a similar ideas and characters from another movie doesn't mean you're copying them. Ruby Gillman and Turning Red may be similar, but they both have many ideas that have been used countless times, like an overprotective mom and someone who really wants to do something and has to figure out how to do it because they weren't allowed to by their parents. Both of these movies use common ideas that have been reused many times, so I don't think they're copying each other, or any other movie. They just happen to be very similar.

YOU HAVE LESS SUBS THAN ME U GOT GOOD EDITING AND VOICE AND SKIT IM SUBBING INSTANTLY YOU'RE AWESOME!!

I remember the days when they didn’t copy disney

Dreamworks may have copied Disney, but Ruby Gillman Teenage Kraken was better than Turning Red.

I think Turning red is a very cool movie. Tbh my favourite

Yeah, when I saw Ruby Gillman in theaters, I found a lot of similarities between it and Turning Red. And while I think Ruby Gillman is great, I do prefer Turning Red (and Luca) over it (and I have currently seen Turning Red 12 times).

Even if they copied pixar..... I'd say they copied them, and made it better....... Ruby Gillman>Turning Red,Luca.

DreamWorks didn’t have the guts to actually talk about female body functions. Points go to Pixar.

No shit. That's the reason the company exists. To rip on Disney. That's what they did until about 2010.

Turning red was just so much better, in my opinion. It was actually memorable, tbh I can barely remember anything about Ruby Gilman

I disagree, more likely there both responses to the little mermaid controversy that came about during the time it started development.

Even if it wasn’t copied i think turning red is still weird its like microsoft saying lets follow what nintendo is doing and add something from the nintendo switch onto the new xbox

Call me paranoid but Turning Red is underrated as hell. The thing I cannot say about Ruby Gillman. Just my opinion: *Turning Red* I am Mei. I turn into giant red panda whenever I am overexcited. And I thought that is uncomfortable... But I managed to find the good side of this special trait of mine. I have awesome friends who always support me. Yes, I did choose my family over them when mom found out I lied to her... But they still cared about me and even looked after my tamagotchi! Plus I stood up for them later because I love them! My friends are so loyal to me that they asked our beloved band to save my mom with their singing. Firstly, my story is about to help you to find the bright side in your weaknesses. Secondly, my story is about to show you how great friendship is. Thirdly, the thing my mom hated about me is the very same thing that saved her, can you smell this great level of irony?)) *Ruby Gillman* I am Ruby. Those are my mom and grandma. We, three mighty krakens, were not able to defeat the single pathetic mermaid without using our laser eyes. Why? She had the most powerful weapon in this universe... *THE FORK!*

Honestly, saying Ruby Gillman is a Turning Red ripoff is like saying The Lego Movie is a Toy story ripoff.

isnt that guy from chucky

To be honest I actually like Ruby gillman teenage kraken more than turning red hope ruby gillman gets a tv series soon

Luca's mom 😩

(Random) 4:18 I have that Lego Up house set!

No stop it they didn’t

Dream works copied everything

lol I thought I was the only one who noticed this

Unpopular opinion all dreamworks movies are bad

Normally Dreamworks is good at making fun of Disney/Pixar movies. Except turning red was actually good. The only people who didn’t like it were people who are weird about periods…and anyone who has never been or never had a 13 year old girl. Those are the only 2 people. Turning Red is at least interesting. Teenage Kracken feels like a story written by a 13 year old. Turning Red felt like it was written by an adult ABOUT 13 year olds.

Uh, no the hell it didn't. The movie had been in production for years before Turning Red and Luca existed.

Lmao do you people not think? 😬Clearly you guys don't. Dreamworks was built by ex-disney workers because disney didn't pay them enough, didn't give them alot of freedom or personal reasons. So Dreamworks has been petty and revengeful towards them. Like with Shrek, that was them say the middle finger to Disney and it's honestly funny cause the movie y'all are talking about Ruby Gilman is not a copy lol. It's Dreamworks way of saying that they can actually do something without messing it up. But I'll let you clueless heads be like how you guys are now💀

Ruby is actually better then Turing red No contest
