Home is an adaptation of Adam Rex’s children’s book The True Meaning of Smekday directed by Tim Johnson (Over the Hedge). The film, which Johnson describes as a “post-apocalyptic, alien invasion buddy comedy, road trip, animated movie”, features the vocal talents of Rihanna, Jim Parsons, Jennifer Lopez, and Steve Martin.

When Oh, a lovable misfit from another planet, lands on Earth and finds himself on the run from his own people, he forms an unlikely friendship with an adventurous girl named Tip who is on a quest of her own. Through a series of comic adventures with Tip, Oh comes to understand that being different and making mistakes is all part of being human, and together they discover the true meaning of the word HOME.

Home marks Jim Parsons’ first role in an animated movie, and he was excited about the new challenges it brought. “It’s the most interesting ‘playtime’ I’ve ever had as an actor,” he explains. “It feels like you’re going down a mysterious but joyful black hole, where you’re alone with the character. Once you relax, it’s really fun to see what happens. I never left the recording studio without being a sweaty mess!”
