Home is the latest production from DreamWorks Animation, the studio responsible for kiddy hits including How to Train Your Dragon, Shrek and Madagascar.
In Home, Earth is taken over by colour-morphing aliens called the Boov, who colonise new planets to escape their enemy, the Gorg.
The film centres on a Boov called Oh (Jim Parsons of The Big Bang Theory) and a girl called Gratuity "Tip" Tucci (Rihanna). Both are misfits, Oh because no Boov wants to be his friend, and Tip because she's lost her mother and, referencing the pop star who voices her, is "just this nerd from Barbados".
Tip does, however, have a cat named Pig, who wins laughs for his feline quirkiness and love of jumping on heads.
In true DreamWorks style, the animation in Home is exceptional, with cool galactic shots and wild rides across Earth, including through an upside-down Eiffel Tower.
