What happens

Home is a 2015 American animated science fiction comedy film produced by DreamWorks Animation, loosely based on the 2007 children's book The True Meaning of Smekday. The film was directed by Tim Johnson, written by Tom J. Astle and Matt Ember, and stars the voices of Jim Parsons, Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, and Steve Martin. The story follows the shared adventures of a friendly alien (Parsons) who is shunned by the rest of his kind, and a teenage girl (Rihanna) searching for her lost mother (Lopez) after they are separated during an invasion of Earth. The film premiered at the Boulder International Film Festival on March 7, 2015, and was released in theaters on March 27 by 20th Century Fox. Home was promoted with the release of a prequel short film, Almost Home, which was shown in theaters in 2014. Rihanna created a concept album of the same name. The soundtrack also includes guest vocals from Jennifer Lopez, among others, and was supported by two singles, "Towards the Sun" and "Feel the Light". Home received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $386 million worldwide against a $135 million budget. A spin-off television series, Home: Adventures with Tip & Oh, was released on Netflix in 2016. However, it was removed in April 2024 due to licensing agreements. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
