I feel bad for the animators of this film. Not only did they have such passion for the storyline in their interviews and DVD commentary, but Ruby Gillman also has a beautiful style that matches the energy of Puss In Boots with the textures of How To Train Your Dragon.

i will say i would have liked chelsea ACTUALLY being nerissa's daughter but there is lso a "oh god" moment of a grown adult manipulating a teenager for their own gain

Our boy married his high-school sweetheart??? 1,000 wins added to the counter!

Ruby Gilman is a fun movie but if you look into the deleted scenes and early concepts, we were robbed of a much better movie. I actually just made a whole video about it on my channel.

One of the things I really appreciated about this movie that you didn't touch on is that Ruby's design feels properly monstrous when she goes full kraken. She's not a more "cute and cuddly" version because she's the protagonist. There's a lot of movies where the main character becomes a "monster" but the actual design doesn't match because the film is afraid we won't relate to them anymore.

fun fact, some people can smell salt water, some cant, i'm one of the people that cant. it's like arsenic, some people can smell it, some cant.

3:36 god I've never seen someone put this into words so perfectly

I really didn't like this movie at all. However, the theatre we were in was almost entirely empty, with only a few kids in there. And their excited ramblings about the cool "kraket!" Made the whole thing so worth it!

I saw this movie once, I liked it. Then I heard people were hating on it because it wasn't like Puss in Boots so I felt bad for it and saw it a second time. Both times in theaters, no regrets. It is currently part of my Netflix "My List" which I use as a favorites list.

Ruby Gillman, like the majority of Dreamwork’s (and even Disney’s) newest projects, is actually very fun and amazingly animated but instead of actually investing in proper commercials (instead of just spoiling the entirety of the movie in the trailers) they make mediocare trailers and use those as an excuse for not doing more projects like that! Strange World and Ruby Gillman are very fun and very pretty and should be appraciated instead of used as an excuse to abandoning more projects like them due to bad advertising...

I'm pleased you pointed out the similarity to Turning Red, because it seemed to borrow from it in almost every department. By the way, this is a really good film in it's own right, but Turning Red is better in just about every department. Turning Red could make you laugh out loud, then break your heart in the blink of an eye. The two scenes, the Red Moon Ritual and the scene where Mei meets her Mom as a little girl are among the best moments I've ever seen in an animated movie. It is a seriously underrated. On the nose seems to be a regular criticism about TR's treatment of puberty, but it needed to be to break new ground to normalise sanitary towels, which are a necessary and normal part of a teenage girl's life. As I've said, this is a great little movie, but I consider Turning Red to be in a different class.

I remember seeing this in theater (so I have that claim) and my biggest issue with the movie is... it would've been better as a cartoon series than as a theatrical movie. That was about it, though.

When he said people can't name other Jane Fonda movies, I was about to say "9 to 5", but then realized that was the only one I could name. Touché, Mr. Lee, well played.

Okay, you've got to do Everything great about The Bad Guys. You've done every film around it so pleaseeee

As much as I like the movie, I think the Nerissa twist brings the whole thing down. Not only was Chelsea more interesting as Nerissa's daughter like in earlier drafts, but the Nerissa twist also proves Grandmamah's boarderline racist view of Mermaids completely right. They only made this change so Agatha wouldn't have blood on her hands, but there are other ways they could've worked around this. "Archiveofourown" User Thatdude21 came up with a decent way to work around Agatha being a murderer. After Nerissa was defeated, she was banished by her kind because they didn't want to fight the krakens in the first place and she eventually gave birth to Chelsea after her banishment. One day, she would catch Agatha putting the Trident in the volcano and tries to retrieve it, but the strong currents in the volcano kill her and Chelsea, now traumatised by the horrific death of her mom, makes it her goal to avenge her mother and liberate her kind. If they went with this approach, Agatha at the very least wouldn't be directly responsible for the death of Nerissa. This is a duplicate comment in case the original doesn't resurface. EDIT: Thatdude21 also rewrote the climax and made it more interesting, here's a somewhat condensed version of his climax. Ruby doesn't stop Chelsea by destroying the trident, but by telling her that her kind didn't want to fight the krakens and they exiled Nerissa for forcing them to fight and Nerissa was also selfish for trying to the trident back without thinking about what would happen to Chelsea if she died trying to get the trident and she could've also started a new life on land with Chelsea. Ruby even gets Grandmamah to admit she might've been unfair in her judgement. Chelsea starts breaking down and tries to kill Ruby in a fit of rage. Ruby lets her guard down in a risky move to prove that Chelsea isn't a monster. Chelsea raises the trident and after what feels like an eternity, brings it down towards Ruby, She comes within a few feet of stabbing Ruby, but she can't bring herself to stab Ruby. She suddenly forces her arms down and starts crying. Ruby and Agatha comfort Chelsea who tearfully admits that she just wants to hug her mom again but she can't. Agatha and Ruby hug Chelsea and even Grandmamah rests her hand on Chelsea's back feeling rather shameful about her view on mermaids. Afterwards, Chelsea becomes disgusted by the trident and hands it to the krakens so they can dispose of it. They use their laser eyes to destroy it and Chelsea shrinks back to her normal mermaid form. After Ruby picks Chelsea up, Chelsea apologises for all the trouble she caused, but Ruby, Agatha and Grandmamah admit that if it weren't for Chelsea, Ruby wouldn't have gotten the chance to embrace who she was and the rest of the family got to patch things up even if it took getting their butts kicked and almost losing their lives. After that Chelsea starts leaving before Ruby blocks her because she feels that she doesn't belong there, but Ruby disagrees and after thinking for a moment she asks Agatha if Chelsea could stay with them. After Agatha asks the other family members if it's okay and they agree. Chelsea is overjoyed by this and Ruby brings Chelsea up to her cheek and Chelsea hugs her tearfully with Agatha and Grandmamah joining in. While Chelsea is happy to become a Gillman, she does want to wait a bit before she moves in because she wants to settle living on land first. Grandmamah even promises to search for the mermaids to tell them it’s time for a new peaceful era between the 2 species and invites Chelsea to the kraken soldier training classes after showing her impressive combat capabilites. Agatha then tells Ruby that she won't lie to her anymore and she can still make it to the prom. Ruby takes Chelsea to the prom boat. Brill then arrives and is informed about Chelsea's adoption which excites him and he is embraced by his mother and sister to his delight. After Ruby and Chelsea arrive at the boat looking decked out, Ruby is applauded and Chelsea, who was worried about the students shunning her, is also given a hero's welcome. After patching things up with her friends, Chelsea tells Connor that Ruby actually save him earlier and Connor and Ruby start dancing together. While that happens, Grandmamah catcheds up with Agatha and the rest of her family, including her son Sam. Meanwhile Gordon makes his apology video and becomes a kraken supporter. Back on the boat, Ruby is still dancing with Connor, Margot is dancing excitedly with Kayla, Bliss is dancing more slowly with Trevin and while Chelsea is dancing by herself she is still having the time of her life. All of them then join each other in a group dance and freeze. The dance is now a photo on Ruby's phone. After scrolling through several videos of her family, we see the family in their car with Agatha driving, Arthur in the passenger seat next to her, Ruby sitting in the rear right seat, Sam in the middle and Chelsea on the left. They soon arrive at their destination where Agatha warmly welcomes Chelsea to the Gillman's home. Ruby and Sam guide Chelsea through the house and as she takes in the scenery and decor of the house in awe, Nessie suddenly catched her attention. Nessie jumps into Chelsea's arm and starts licking her cheek to her with Chelsea laughing gleefully. Ruby and Sam join in on the fun while Agatha and Arthur watch proudly. When then fade to a view of Oceanside High. A couple of construction workers are placing what appears to be a circular plaque on the school's front. It has an illustration of Ruby in her giant form on it. Ruby, Connor, Chelsea, Margot, Trevin, and Bliss are walking up to the school. Suddenly they are stopped by Gordon parking his tour bus in front of them. Brill pokes his head out the window and tells Ruby that the Devil Whale has been spotted and is headed straight for the Kraken Kingdom. Ruby hands her bag to Connor and asks Chelsea if she want to follow her. Chelsea declines because she wants to focus on high school and jokingly says that the Devil Whale already has enough on his plate dealing with Ruby and a 2v1 would be overkill at that point. Ruby starts to run off, but then turns around to kiss Connor and starts running off again with Chelsea cheering her on. After landing in the water and becoming giant, she swims off to fight the Devil Whale as Grandmamah finishes the movie with her narration. Grandmamah: "See? I told you, people! The ocean will always need a Kraken, and a Kraken will always answer the call!"

It is a neat movie, But I still don't like that last minute change they made by having Chelsea be Nerissa, rather than her being Nerissas daughter who wants revenge because Agatha killed her mother. Would've also fit into that perception and making your own decisions theme.

"College is just kidhood with more freedom, enjoy it!" Ha! Good joke! ...Oh wait, you're serious, lemme laugh harder HA!

Better than the live action Little Mermaid? YES!

I feel so bad for this movie! It got hated on for literally no reason last year! But personally, I love it! 💙🐙

This is pure joy to watch your channel I remember watching cinemasins during covid This is just a throwback

I'm so glad that everyone in the comments is giving constructive criticism about the film instead of being outright mean and rude

This was really fun to see in theaters, i hope it gets more respect than it did on release

Everything great about The Prince of Egypt

This movie felt alright to me, nothing stand out, but also nothing all that bad either. If I could change one thing about the movie, I think it would've been having Chelsea actually be Nerissa's daughter. The movie was playing up themes of breaking free from the restrictive ideas of past generations, so what if Chelsea was genuinely honest about wanting the trident to bring peace between the mermaids and the krakens, only for Nerissa to show up and betray her as well? You could've had an interesting conflict where the old generation try to fight each other like they did in the old days while the new generation tried working together to overcome the obstacles they faced. But that's just my thoughts on how it could've improved, still a perfectly fine movie overall.

I think it would have worked out better if the Gillmans claimed that they were from Greenland, because it's very Cold up there and Blue Skin seems to go well with the cold for some reason.

I have made kind of a habit to rewatch this movie and Turning Red side-by-side after the idea ocurred to me when needing a movie-night to lift my spirits up. The resulting experience now has me percieve both films as "spiritual sister movies" of a sort; together they are some of my personal comfort movies 😊

Would love to see you do Blue Beetle! I think it's very underrated.

I related to Ruby a crazy amount when I first saw this film in theatres. I came to it thinking it would be forgettable but man, I can’t get it out of my head now almost a year later. While I am disappointed that some things never made it in, I loved the film a lot. Just a very sweet and relatable story. Plus Ruby is an adorable cinnamon roll and I enjoyed seeing her whenever she was on screen.

The mermaid waterfall hair is sooo cool!

didnt like this movie as much as turning red but i still really loved it, it's a good film, it's very underrated honestly

I feel the marketing could of been better for the film since most of the trailers already spoiled not just the twist but nearly everything.

Thanks! I still have those suggestions for the coming months or whenever you can: 1. Request #31 for Jurassic Park 2 (1997) and 3 (2001). 2. Request #20 for Shrek (2001) 3. Request #21 for Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981). I also understand how you might be busy with these Planet of the Apes films and possibly Oppenheimer. But still take your time. Love you, CinemaWins!!! ❤❤ Also is next week: Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014)?

i adored this movie!! im so happy to see dreamworks experimenting with so many different art styles and artist who are passionate about it. the ending isnt the greatest but i still think its such a gem

Thank you for your positivity and sharing your love of movies! 😁

17:53 I know what next week's EGA video will be but here's a list of suggestions to consider for future EGA videos: -Wish -Big Fish -Mr. Peabody & Sherman -The Lost World: Jurassic Park -Isle of Dogs -James & the Giant Peach -Dinosaur (2000 Film) -Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief -Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008 Film) -Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom

Love this movie Saw it in the theater too

thank you for covering this!! always appreciate your positivity :)

EGA WolfWalkers, Power Rangers 2017, E.T. The Extra-terrestrial and RRR!

I know Jane Fonda from a lot of things. On Golden Pond, Barbarella, that time she went to Vietnam and got dozens of POW soldiers killed by turning over letters they asked her to deliver to the US to their families and the Vietcong killed them for trying to contact the US.

5:04 idk why this feels so much like Turning Red? The ‘I’m a monster’ line is so much like Mei Mei’s!!!

I realized why the animation style looks so odd to me, its like Wallace and Gromit claymation but pure CG so its sorta uncanny

I love this movie a lot! Glad to see it getting more appreciation. ❤

Here are my requests for future EGA videos Prince of Egypt The road to El Dorado Shrek Shrek 2 Shrek forever after The goonies The polar express Coraline Mask of Zorro Legend of Zorro The Lost world: Jurassic park Charlie and the chocolate factory James and the giant peach Matilda (1996) The witches (1990) How the grinch stole Christmas (2000) The terminator T2 judgment day Hercules The hunchback of Norte dame Beauty and the Beast The little mermaid Tarzan Pocahontas The rescuers down under Aladdin Anastasia Spirited away Howl’s moving castle My neighbour totoro Castle in the sky Kiki’s delivery service Wish

4:57 as someone who discovered the linda lindas through the FH5 rally expansion i kinda freaked out a bit like it literally gave me goose bumps because thier song 'Oh' was my fav as soon as i heard it from the game trailer

I'm excited that there could be a Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken 2 movie coming out in 2027. Some one said that they got that message from DreamWorks on Twitter. Anyhow, Ruby Gillman deserves to become a franchise.

Great to see this movie finally get some positive attention! By the way, as a suggestion, do you think you could do The Angry Birds Movie (1) sometime? It's a nostalgic guilty pleasure of mine kinda like Super Mario Bros. (1993) that definitely has a lot of stuff you could talk about!

Thank you for making this video. I have been a massive fan of this movie since it came out. So much so that I’ve made several videos about it. Including one where I sinned CinemaSins’ video on this movie.

My only win for this movie after watching it was that it was pretty colorful. But I enjoyed this video ⭐️

If this move has the same twist as Sky High I want to see this movie someday. I’ll get around to it eventually I love how squishy the art style is

I though this was movie wasn't too bad, If there's one major criticism I had with it is that I didn't like the twist ending of Chelsea doing a heel-turn and turning into Nerissa in the third act, that just kinda killed it for me.

Thanks for making these videos they're are way to many negative videos out there that just ruin people's moods. But videos that take the time to appreciate things instead of ridiculing them just makes enjoying stuff so much better. And thanks for doing Ruby I really loved this movie and was sink of people dumping on it mostly do to it's lackluster marketing it's a good movie and I would love a squeal or a streaming series. Any may I suggest you do a video on wish it's another good movie that people treat horribly for the prettiest of reasons

FINALLY. I WAS WAITING FOR THIS.

This movie passed under my radar but looks cute. Thanks for always being positive.

This movie was really good

Everything GREAT about interstellar

I really shipped Chelsea and Ruby, so the Narissa reveal was kind of heartbreaking.

I watched this movie on my 19th birthday with my family last year!

Episode 140 of requesting The Princess Bride!

I would have liked it better if Chelsea stayed evil, but did consider Ruby a friend and offered to spare her if she stayed out of the fight.

I am glad I purchased this, it was well worth a watch, and probably two. Some things might of been nicer to see, a little more clever but the simplicity in this story still makes it sweet!

Please do everything great about THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW (1975)

One of my favorite things about this movie was that the writers make it clear that Connor also has a crush on Ruby from the beginning. It’s not “nerdy girl likes popular boy, but popular boy doesn’t like her until the end of the movie after she saves the day”. They very clearly (from the watcher’s perspective) both have crushes on each other from the start, but are too awkward to outrightly admit it to each other.

Thank you! Finally! More respect for this movie!

Personally I really connected with ruby as a trans woman. That scene of her hands getting bigger from her pov and her voice dropping? Spiritually, been there. And with Chelsea manipulating her as a fellow, also older, “outsider” who does also get it but not enough to nit her, there’s a lot of resonant feelings. Seeing some mentions of deleted scenes, I have to wonder if that was intended.

You should do the Prince of Egypt

I love watching videos from this channel. I don’t know how if you take suggestions for movies but, I’d love to see CinemaWins episodes for The Hobbit trilogy.

This is such a fun movie, I just dig the vibe of it

the linda linda’s truly deserve every win you give them!!

I actually didn't mind this as much as others seemed to...

This movie (just watched on Netflix the other day) is by far not a bad movie, but its not a great movie either. Overall its a little shallow. Its got the fun pizzazz thats in Mitchell's vs the machines but without the emotional beats hitting as hard. Overall its got the vibe of more of a kids movie than a family movie

Cinema wins should do Prince of Egypt.

Do you think you could do "John Carter" and Disney's "Lone Ranger"? Both movies are actually very good with awesome effects and good stories, but were murdered by Disney failing to promote them well. I'd love to see your opinion!! Also, JP3 when?

I like this movie. It was enjoyable, so in my book it's at least a 7/10.

Please do a video on Nimona

Im surprised you didn't talk about how Godzilla was mentioned

I felt really bad this film flopped. My main feeling was that even though I noticed a lot of story elements from other recent movies I felt the individual elements were all done better here. I loved this heaps more than Turning Red, especially the scene where Agatha first talks her daughter down from a panic attack. And unlike Strange World, it’s not the younger generation that had it all figured out and the elders had to do most of the learning. Here all 3 generations screwed up to some extent, and they all learn in the end. I agree that there may be a bit too much stuffed in this at times but I had a lot of fun with this movie.

Da king is back baby he neva miss we're eating good today y'all

My best bet is that the no skateboarding sign has a pre-made template that they slap whatever image they need on top of as needed, hence why the fish is over the slash.

We clap for your content

I think the problem with the release of Ruby Gilman seen that it was happening around when the little mermaid remake it kind of resulted in a lot of people favorite Disney not to mention a lot of people test, not spoiled the movie because the trailer kinda gave every single bit of it away but Chelsea being a grown adult rather than the child of the enemy it’s definitely better than most of the other mediocre DreamWorks movies at least we seen how far the animators have improved on under the sea style of animation, shark tales

One random thing like about this movie: gamer boys suit. Live that bright green lines and dots on black suit. Pattern has a bit of an art deco meets circuit board. I would legitimately buy a t-shirt with that pattern on it in green shiny. Would go well with my xbox circuit tshirt with the exact same colours

The whole prom thing, I went to prom 2 times, one my 3rd year and the second my 4th/senior year. Both times I went with just the coolest girls. I still kick myself because in my 3rd year I went with my friend who, out of anyone every, I had (and still do) have a crush on (which is impressive for me because Im aroace but SHE was the one that made me want to hold hands and smooch). We started the night as friends and then half-way though she said we should go on a walk, she was beautiful in her black sparkly dress (that I accidentally stepped on the hem and ripped the tulle) and her curly bouncing hair, and then she had this WHOLE SPEACH prepared about how she likes me and how we should be partners and I, LIKE AN IDIOT, said no. I said no because I thought I wouldn't be a good partner, that Im not ready for a romantic relationship. She was sad but totally understood and we were still friends and had a good night. The second year I went with the coolest girl in school (at least to me, I didn't go with my friend from the year before because she graduated), I got a cupcake cake that said "Prom?" and asked her. It was already a kind of an agreed thing that we'd go together, but I wanted to make it at least a little special. But the first girl? I really screwed up by saying no. But live and let live I guess. We haven't talked in a long while, but I hope she is doing good. (I needed to get that off my chest and into the universe, have fun kids, enjoy life. Take chances, but stay safe and true to who you are. And watch fun movies!)

Oh My God Thats My Request!!!

I would love you to do young Frankenstein. It’s one of the greatest Mel Brooks movies. Also not a lot of people talk about it anymore.

Day 2 of asking everything great about godzilla 1954

6:07 i was wondering what that short was about

This film has a few dedicated fans, I’m so sad it couldn’t be better

love your chanel (but you already knew that) will we get a Tropic Thunder's EGA? an unknowing goodbye tribute to the world before MCU

13:28 Bottom Center --> Seagull

he move did a "you though mermaids were good and Krakens were evil but is he other way around" message When I would much rather have seen a "neither one of us is evil les both be friends " story and the trailer ruined the end of the movie by showing he twist. If I had just not known the ending I would have watched it by now.

Good movie? You should make a vid on the disney movie wish. Its actually pretty good

This is my guilty pleasure.

Still waiting for the movie to be released on North American Netflix

"Worse things have happened with car accidents when Toni Collette was around." That line gave me instant traumatic flashbacks. Hereditary was a very good film but by the gods did it demolish my emotions for several days.

Even though this movie had some similarities to Pixar's Turning Red, it's okay in my books. This movie takes Turning Red and is more action-packed than friendship and bonding. Also, the mom in this movie, Agatha, is a more understandable helicopter mom than Ming from Turning Red. Because of all of the lying and secret keeping for Agatha was so that Ruby wouldn't be dragged into war. As for Ming, she did the same thing only because she had a terrible childhood, unlike her daughter. I can see that she even did it out of jealousy.

I *DID* see Barbarella. An angel is love!

Please do Society of the snow, PLEAAAASE

Do "Everything great about "Megamind vs the doom syndicate" as a joke video It'll be very short
