Movie: Home 2015

★★★★★/★★★★★

I always always love animated films and this one is amazing. I mean, it teaches us a lot of things from caring about others/family/friends to not drinking the lemonade from the toilet. Tsk.

The story is about the Boov running away from the planet-destroying Gorg and finding Earth where they decided to inhabit. Led by their Captain Smek (Steve Martin), they relocate humans, whom their captain pertains to as simple and backwards, to other parts of the planet so they can inhabit their homes. Excited and happy about their new home, one of the Boov named Oh (Jim Parsons) wants to throw a housewarming party with his friends. Sadly, he doesn't really have friends and his neighbors really don't like him.

Then he accidentally meets Tip (Rihanna) in a convenience store while running away from the Boov cops after sending an invite to every alien on the galaxy, including the Gorg. The invite is supposedly just for Kyle, whom Oh thought is his friend, but instead of just pressing "send" he accidentally presses "send all". It causes panic to the Boov, thinking the Gorg would find their new home that's why Captain Smek orders for Oh to be captured because it's his fault. Oh runs away and decides to go to Antarctica where there is no Boov living. 

Tip, on the other hand, lost her mom (Jenifer Lopez) while the Boov are relocating the humans. She's able to avoid that thing that sucked her mother away from her thanks to her cat named Pig. She's hiding in their home when one of the Boov comes in making her leave. She drives her car and stops in a convenience store where she meets Oh. It's when their adventure begins.

I really love the story because it's about family, friendship and doing the right thing. I like that Tip waited and never stopped looking for her mom even though she never had an idea where she might be until Oh. It's also nice that even though she and Oh started off on the wrong foot, they still ended up being good friends. They found a friend in each other that I cried when I thought Oh was crushed when the Gorg's mothership didn't stop on time. And giving back what Captain Smek took from the Gorg is the bravest thing Oh has ever done. It's what made him a more capable leader than Captain Smek. 

The movie is  a 5/5 for me. You should watch it and see for yourself why.

I also fell in love with the songs because they're all good.
