The Big Bang Theory’s Jim Parsons stopped by to chat with the ladies of CBS’ The Talk to talk about his new animated film, Home which debuted in theaters today.
Directed by Tim Johnson and starring Jim Parsons, Rihanna, Steve Martin and Jennifer Lopez, Home is based on the children’s book by Adam Rex, is about an alien population looking for a new Home because they continually escape who they believe is their mortal enemy Gorg. The Boov leader, Captain Smek (Martin) chooses Earth as their new destination home and they set course to land. Before landing and inhabiting the planet, they remove all the humans to a new location and they take over the rest of the earth. Only they left one human behind, a little girl named Gratuity “Tip” Tucci(Rihanna) and her cat. Separated from her mother, Lucy (Lopez), Tip is determined to hide from the Boov and find her mother. While hiding out she encounters an ousted Boov named “Oh”( Parsons) which leads the two to take a wild ride in search for Tip’s mother and helping Oh hide out from the Boov’s who have an all points bulletin out on him.
The animation in this film is a wonderful escape journey. It is colorful, vivid, cheerful and creative. The Boov population are a unique representation of aliens compared to most films in that they are highly flexible, not robotic in nature and have more ability to “feel” things than normal film aliens, yet even the Transformer-like Gorg is fun as well and a nice contrast to the Boov.
We will add more clips as they become available, but here is a clip of Jim talking about working with Rihanna:
