* SuperNotDrowningSkills: Oh spends several hours underwater at one point. Presumably, so can the other Boov.

* BigBad: The Gorg.

* LivingMoodRing: The boov change colors to reflect emotions. Red is anger, yellow is fear, orange is happiness, blue is sadness, and pink seems to be affection. In addition, [[BadLiar Oh has a bad habit of turning green (possibly with guilt) when he lies]].

* VichyEarth: Boov ocuppy earth at the start of the movie.

* ExtremeOmnivore: The Boov are willing to eat a lot of strange things, including footballs, motor oil, and {{paintings}}. Creator/VincentVanGogh's "Art/TheStarryNight" nearly ends up being lunch.

** When the Slushious blasts away from the gas station, it leaves a license plate spinning on its corner a la ''Film/BackToTheFuture''.

'''''Home''''' is a 2015 computer-animated feature film from Creator/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 ''WesternAnimation/MrPeabodyAndSherman'' and non-Chinese/Korean prints of ''WesternAnimation/{{Rio 2}}'', detailing the events before the start of the movie proper.

* CompanyCrossReferences: There's a joke where Oh is in a bathroom and tries to eat a urinal cake, thinking it's a mint. The earlier film ''WesternAnimation/{{Madagascar}}'' from the [[Creator/DreamWorks same company]] has Melman do the same thing.

** Oh mistakes a urinal cake for a mint. Ten years earlier in [[{{WesternAnimation/Madagascar}} Madagascar]], Melman did the exact same thing.

* ExtremeOmnivore: The Boov are willing to eat a lot of strange things, including footballs, motor oil, and paintings. Van Gogh's ''Starry Night'' nearly ends up being lunch.

* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: Oh's ImagineSpot near the beginning of the film when he considers hiding in Antarctica has him getting a group hug from a bunch of them.

* ImagineSpot: Oh has a brief one when he considers hiding in Antarctica. It's about five seconds of him hugging [[EverythingsBetterWithPenguins penguins]].

* AnAlienNamedBob:
** Kyle has a rather normal name, [[AerithAndBob unlike most of the other Boov]].
** Several one-shot Boovs have names like Tony.

The film stars Creator/JimParsons, Music/{{Rihanna}}, Music/JenniferLopez, and Creator/SteveMartin.

* CastingGag: [[Music/JenniferLopez J-Lo]] as Tip's mom, as a reference to [[AdaptationNameChange Oh's name]] in ''Literature/TheTrueMeaningOfSmekday''.

* MythologyGag: In ''Literature/TheTrueMeaningOfSmekday'', the Boov Tip befriends is named J-Lo. Here, Tip's mother is played by the real [[Music/JenniferLopez J-Lo]].
