The challenge, though, is that Condor and soaring in general is complicated. While many folks simply enjoy the social aspects of soaring and racing with each other, I have always viewed it as a way to improve one’s cross country decision-making skills. There are four Shrek movies thus far and a fifth Shrek is reportedly in the works with the studio as well.Īhead of the latest Dreamworks picture hitting theaters this Friday, you can check out our Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken review and look forward to more exclusive coverage from the cast and director.Condor is an excellent and fun cross country training tool.

Meanwhile, in the over two decades that Shrek has been out, the movie has really become the face of Dreamworks and what is possible for an IP with the animation studio. How meaningful must it be to progress from being influenced by Dreamworks to being a part of that narrative. Not only that, she’s also a princess kraken who is in line to lead the seven seas!Īs the movie progresses, Ruby meets her powerful Grandmama, voiced by Jane Fonda, and meets a shady mermaid, voiced by Annie Murphy, both of which really challenge her place in the world and her rocky relationship with her mother, voiced by Toni Collette. The character is an awkward teen just trying to fit in at school, and perhaps even go to prom with her crush despite her mother’s crazy rules when she learns she has the power to become a massive kraken. With Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken, Lana Condor is the voice of Dreamworks’ first titular heroine. Rating: PG for some action, rude humor and thematic elements Starring: Lana Condor, Toni Collette, Annie Murphy, Sam Richardson, Nicole Byer, Colman Domingo, Will Forte, Liza Koshy, and Jane Fonda Now she gets to be that inspiration herself. As Condor shared, while hilariously imitating herself as a child (in the video above), as a young kid the movie really inspired her to be herself in her early years. The princess decides to be an ogre rather than break the spell and become human and be with Shrek. The movie really turned fairytales on its head and brought a completely new perspective to the whole thing, especially with the character of Fiona, voiced by Cameron Diaz. I’m around the same age as Condor, and I can remember how big of a deal Shrek was when it first came out. Like, I remember being as a kid being like, yeah, I should just be myself. I think with Shrek, I remember watching it and being like, I thought the fact that like Fiona, she is this princess, but then she chooses to be her truest self, which is like with Shrek and like to be in her Shrek form, like ogre form.
