Home

Earth falls under the rule of the boastful Boov, an alien species searching for a new home of their own. In a swift upheaval, humans are displaced and the Boov reorganize the planet to suit their needs. A clever girl named Tip slips free from capture and teams up with Oh, a Boov who has been exiled for a misstep. Together they travel through a bright, bustling world, dodging capture and uncovering a bigger problem behind the relocation. What begins as a rescue mission becomes a test of trust, courage, and unlikely friendship.

Home captured about 368,871,007 dollars worldwide, a solid performance given its 135 million production budget, signaling broad audience appeal across families and animation fans.
