* BizarreAlienBiology: The Boov turn colors when experiencing different emotions, discharge gas from appendages that grow out of their head, and apparently have a third form of waste disposal.

* WorldShapes: [[http://dreamworks.wikia.com/wiki/File:Home_Boov_Human_and_Gorg_Concept.JPG As seen here]], the Boov are circular, the Earthlings are square-ish, and the Gorg are triangular.

* WorldShapes: [[http://dreamworks.wikia.com/wiki/File:Home_Boov_Human_and_Gorg_Concept.JPG As seen here]], the Boov are circular, the Earthlings are square-ish, and the Gorg are triangular.

* DirtyCoward: This is practically the Boov's [[PlanetOfHats hat]]. As Oh himself puts it: "When probability of success drops below fifty percent, Boov run away." Captain Smek is even worse, often shoving aside other Boov to ensure his own safety. Part of Oh's CharacterDevelopment is moving beyond this.

* DoItYourselfThemeTune: The soundtrack approaches a Do It Yourself ''album''. Music/{{Rihanna}} worked with director Tim Johnson to create a concept album for the film. Three of the eight songs there are by her, and one is by Music/JenniferLopez.

* PlanetBuster: The Gorg's mothership is one of these, and was used to destroy the Boov's homeworld. [[spoiler:It nearly happens to Earth, but Oh gives him back the rock containing his race's next generation in time.]]

* CentralTheme: Finding your home.

* PapaWolf: [[spoiler:Gorg's attack on the Boov is him being this: the Gorg children were accidently kidnapped by the Boov and like any parent, he went berserk.]]

* WorldShapes: [[http://dreamworks.wikia.com/wiki/File:Home_Boov_Human_and_Gorg_Concept.JPG As seen here]], the Boov are circular, the Earthlings are square-ish, and the Gorg are triangular.

* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler:The Boov are forgiven pretty easily at the end]].

* IWillFindYou: Tip's main goal throughout the movie is to rescue her kidnapped mother.

* LackOfEmpathy: The Boov, embracing a DirtyCoward mentality for their whole society, have absolutely no regard for any of the natives they forcibly relocate as they conquer Earth. When Oh finally gets that perspective and the courage to stand up to Captain Smek about what they are doing to Humaanity, ''everything'' changes for them.

* MonumentalDamage: Played with. We see several Earth monuments, but many aren't really damaged, just floating in air. [[spoiler:The ones with faces have been modified to look like Captain Smek.]]

* TookaLevelInBadass: Oh, who [[spoiler:eventually stands up to Smek]].

* StrangeSyntaxSpeaker: Oh regularly mixes up tenses, verbs, nouns, and English grammar in general.

* DirtyCoward: This is practically the Boov's [[PlanetOfHats hat]]. As Oh himself puts it: "When probability of success drops below fifty percent, Boov run away." Captain Smek is even worse, often shoving aside other Boov to ensure his own safety.

* AwardBaitSong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6en4pf4jjg This promotional video]] suggests as much, at least, courtesy of Jennifer Lopez.

* XMeetsY: ''[[WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch Lilo & Stitch]]'' meets ''[[WesternAnimation/TheIronGiant The Iron Giant]]'' with a road trip and NoAntagonist.

The film recieved a mixed critical reception, but has shown to be an early commercial success and is a sleeper hit for Dreamworks Animation, which has not gained a hit franchise since ''WesternAnimation/TheCroods''.

'''''Home''''' is a 2015 computer-animated feature film from DreamworksAnimation directed by Tim Johnson, based on the 2007 children's book "Literature/TheTrueMeaningOfSmekday" by Adam Rex. The film is about an endearing but inept race of aliens called the Boov who invade Earth in order to take cover from their alien enemies and move the human race to Australia to live in pre-fabricated cities while the Boov take the rest of the world. After one hapless Boov accidentally transmits the Boov's location he goes on the run from the rest of the Boov and runs into a young Human girl called Tip who's searching for her mother. A short film ''Almost Home'' was released in front of both ''MrPeabodyAndSherman'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Rio 2}}'', detailing the events before the start of the movie proper.

** The Boov may have been wrong in their actions, but they weren't malicious; they just had a BluAndOrangeMorality viewpoint.
