But it’s not all cut and dried because Ruby’s mum and grandmama don’t rub along so well, and in casting Collette and Fonda, there was a super opportunity for them to ”get their moment and they fight like cats and dogs, and then they make up,” says DeMicco. The Warrior Queen wants to impart some of her wisdom to Ruby. Ruby’s grandmama, voiced by Oscar winner Jane Fonda, is The Warrior Queen of the Seven Seas, and as you can imagine, “she tolerates no nonsense,” cautions DeMicco.ĭeMicco’s mother was born and raised in Falmouth, Cornwall, and DiMicco spent summer holidays with his grandparents in the West Country, where he ate Cornish pasties, scones with cream and jam, and attention was paid to the late Queen and the Royal Family.ĭeMicco grew up to understand that the Queen “and I mean Queen Elizabeth II, was definitely not to be trifled with, and there’s a flavor of that in the film.” They have a different quality that they kind of project as, ‘This is how I came to accept it.’ I think it’s just universal, that struggle.” “I mean,” she adds “we have so many different people, artists on this crew, and it’s funny because I’ve noticed that everyone relates to Ruby, but they relate in a different way. “Yeah, and something that maybe society doesn’t deem normal,” Cooney observes.
