Originally conceived by Herman Elvina in 2012, the film was a success upon its release six years later, achieving an admirable profit of $168 million. The film is based around a family's camping trip going spectacularly wrong.

Plot
On a cloudy day, the Clare family drives to Fort Bragg, California to camp in their trailer. Ruby, their puppy, joins them as well. Even though the camping starts off relatively normally, the dog secretly misbehaves. As the dog learns to open the trailer door, she bites on the charging cable already connected to someone's iPhone, causing the charger to stop working. Upon biting it, Ruby starts growling, gaining "bolt power." Ruby runs out of the trailer and destroys the campsite with her new abilities (which are a gravity ray and a lightning bolt spawner).

Ruby misbehaves with the other campers at night, using her powers against them.

Development
Herman Elvina came up with the concept of Ruby's Bolt in late 2012 during the production of an X-Fun Park Go! episode around the same date. She came up with a story in which an puppy misbehaves on a camping trip, with the puppy achieving an superpower called "bolt power" which would ruin the trip completely. Elvina commenced work on the film plot in January 2013. By early March, she had written a first draft with McDonell which bore some resemblance to the final film. On April 24, Pepper Films announced a then-untitled film which would eventually become Ruby's Bolt. Later that year, the title was announced to the general public. The film began shooting in January 2014, completed in May 2016. In the same year, Pepper Films released a trailer for Ruby's Bolt, giving a release date of May 30, 2017. However, on April 2017, it was delayed to June 18, 2018.
