Originally conceived by Herman Elvina in 2012, the film was a success upon its release six years later, achieving an admirable profit of $268 million. The film is based around a family's camping trip going spectacularly wrong.

Plot
The movie starts with the Clare family driving to to camp in their trailer on a cloudy day. They take their dog puppy, Ruby, to the camp as well. The camping starts off relatively normally, yet the dog secretly misbehaves. The dog learns how to open the trailer door, before biting on a charging cable, which is already connected to someone's iPhone, causing it to stop charging. Ruby then starts growling, gaining a so-called "bolt power" from biting it. Ruby then runs out of the trailer, before using her new-found powers to destroy parts of the campsite.

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 Febuary, 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.
