00:00Looking back at Dreamworks throughout the early 2010s, there's really not a single line of quality
00:11that you can give to pretty much all their films from this era. Like, for every masterpiece like
00:14Mr. Peabody and Sherman, you had a bunch of others that just sort of existed, like Rise of the
00:21Guardians, a movie that bombed so hard it nearly brought the entire company down with it, or just
00:26stupid dumb baby movies like Trolls or The Boss Baby. And then you had Turbo. I like Turbo.
00:31Haha, look! He dead!
00:33However, there is one movie from this era that I see absolutely nobody ever talk about online,
00:38a movie that no one in their right mind ever really liked, and seems to just been lost to
00:42the sands of time, and that movie was 2015's Home, a movie that stood the test of time and
00:47not standing the test of time, so I thought why not exploit some nostalgia and take a look
00:51at Dreamworks's rollercoaster that is Home. Now, I'm no movie reviewer, so I'm not gonna be
00:55talking about, like, you know, the character development and the pacing and all that useless
01:00nonsense. I'm just gonna be going through the film talking about what I like and dislike,
01:03and the good and bad within this trainwreck of a masterpiece, and in my own style, I guess.
01:07I love lying!
01:08As if YouTube needs any more film critics. And one more thing before we start, I've actually
01:13opened up a Patreon recently, so if you want stuff like early access to videos, your name in the end
01:17credits, and all kinds of behind-the-scenes content, feel free to check it out. Link will be in the
01:21description of all future videos. So without any further ado, let's just hop right in. We interrupt this
01:25program with some breaking news, that after 14 long years, you yourself can own a piece of the
01:30Bulbasquirtle empire in your own home. As I'm pleased to finally announce, the Scrap the Rabbit
01:34plush. Available for two weeks on Onodge.com right this very second. Made out of high quality material
01:39and having bendy wires in the ears, it's designed to look just like a GE plush so it can fit in with
01:43your Sonic collection. And you can get one today so you can throw him, feed him, throw him, put him to
01:48bed, throw him again, let him watch things he's not supposed to, throw him again, throw him harder,
01:51harder. You don't want to be the only kid in class who doesn't have a Scrap the Rabbit
01:56plush, do you? Link to order yours will be in the description and pinned comment and all that such.
02:00And what's this? I'm getting intel that we're cutting to a live reporter on the scene with
02:03someone who bought a Scrap plush, er, reporter? Oh, uh, this, this thing that I'm holding? This
02:07plush? Oh yeah, I bought this because I like rabbits and I like this character. Yes? But you may be
02:14thinking, well I don't have money. Well then ask for it for your birthday or Christmas or something
02:19like that. Get alone or something. Because this guy's only going to be available for two weeks
02:23and once he's gone, he's gone for good. So don't miss an opportunity to get Scrap in your house.
02:28And who knows, maybe if this campaign does well, we'll have things like a Scarlet plush,
02:31whoa, or maybe something like a vinyl figure or a pin set, who knows. But yeah, go buy the Scrap
02:36plush right now or I'm throwing you in the dungeon without a Scrap plush. Please buy my plushie
02:42link in the description. Now the movie starts out with the iconic DreamWorks intro, as we all know.
02:48However, they actually changed it a bit so the guy on the moon gets sucked up, which
02:51is really goofy and wacky. And we get some monologuing from our main character, O, explaining
02:55why today is what's known as moving day for the species known as the Boov. So I'm assuming
02:59we're going to see something like this later in the film. We get the backstory of this film's
03:02central Boov. You see, and you see, this is genius. They call him O, right? Because when
03:08he like walks into a room, everyone goes, oh, because they don't like him. That's funny right
03:15there. But like, wouldn't he like have a name at birth? Like, did he like forget his name
03:20like spirited away? Because like, we have other Boov later that just have like normal
03:24names. So like, why? And as we all can clearly tell, our man O here is voiced by the one and
03:30only Sheldon Cooper. I don't know the actor's name and I'm not going to look it up because
03:33he is just Sheldon.
03:34But it's revealed that the Boov are moving to what else but our planet of earth. And
03:43we get introduced to one of the greatest characters in all of known fiction. A character that rivals
03:47even Thanos and Goku in terms of power level. We have none other than the man, the myth,
03:51the captain himself, Captain Smek, who is what's known as the king of running away. As that
03:57is what all the Boov know, cowering and running away from their enemies.
04:00Their enemy is called the Gorg. It says it in this part, but I forgot to say it when
04:04I was recording the video. Bye bye.
04:07But anyway, the Boov of course enter earth. They just straight up abduct every single human
04:11on the face of planet earth and create giant towns located in Australia. Oh wait, uh, spoilers.
04:16You weren't supposed to know that they were in Australia yet. Oh well. But yeah, Captain
04:20Smek's humans town is out here with zero crime, zero hunger, and zero poverty. All with
04:24this beautiful render of Captain Smek that looks like it's from Disney Infinity 1.0. But
04:28we get all kinds of shots of the Boov incorrectly using human technology, which is just oh so
04:32hysterical. And they use literally just a port-a-fort. I mean, it is just a port-a-fort to round
04:36up everything they deem not useful. They should have done that on my ex-wife, eh? And then
04:40we get the film's super epic title card, followed by one of its many pop songs, which we'll
04:44get to later. And O enters his new Boov abode. And he decides to make a housewarming party
04:48for all his new friends. And I realized during this shot, and it took me like 10 years to realize
04:53this. The weird tentacle things they have on the sides of their head, I guess are their
04:56nose. Like they blow air out of them, and they use them to smell. Honestly, this is
05:00crazy Boov lore. But we get some absolutely hilarious moments, like O using a toilet brush,
05:05it's a toothbrush, that's not where that goes. And while O stands at the door waiting
05:09his new house guests, we get introduced to a central character of the plot, Pig the
05:12Cat. And they name the cat Pig because it's got a curly little pigtail. I don't know how
05:17that works, but okay. And we're finally introduced to what's essentially the main character of this plot,
05:21who's name is Tip, and she's watching a video of her mom on her ThinkPad. And we
05:24learned that mom isn't there, and she was taken by the Boov. And Tip here is voiced by
05:28the one and only Rihanna. And this movie's gonna do nothing but reiterate the fact
05:32that she's played by Rihanna, they really want you to know.
05:34We love you so much, we want to see you again. And soon.
05:37So, you're coming to L.A.
05:40But as the Boov closes in on her apartment, Tip decides to grab some stuff, like a ukulele
05:45for some reason. Like she grabs, you know, like car keys and like duct tape and stuff,
05:49but like, she just grabs a ukulele. But she also grabs this present that she left her
05:53mom because Guardians came out the year before and already did that. But as she grabs the gift,
05:56she sets off a Kevin McAllister-ass booby trap for this Boov that has Sonic OC hair.
06:01And Tip just laughs at the Boov's transition. She hops in her mom's car and is pretty unfit to drive,
06:05it seems. Don't make a woman driver joke, don't make a woman driver joke. And as we cut back to O's
06:09party, there's this one thing about the audio in this film that I really wanted to mention.
06:12And you can hear it perfectly in this line here.
06:14Like, it sounds so much like it's in a studio, which like, yeah, no s***. But throughout the
06:20entire movie, the audio just sounds like this. And it's just very obvious that it's speaking
06:24through a mic. I mean, like, if you look at something that Disney made in the same year,
06:27like, I don't know, Frozen Fever, everything just seems completely normal and it doesn't take
06:31you out of the experience. But it's just so jarring throughout the entire movie. But anyway,
06:38O gets denied his party and turns blue. But I don't think I mentioned this yet,
06:41their emotions correlate to which color they are. Like, he is blue because he's sad. And he is red
06:46when he is mad. And he is pink when he is glad. However, O then spots his bestest friend Kyle.
06:52Now, Kyle's a very in-depth character with many layers and arcs to his dialogue. And O here believes
06:56that him and Kyle are bestest of friends. But Kyle would disagree. As he refuses to go to O's boove
07:01housewarming party for the ages, O sends an Evite to him. However, what if I told you that the entire plot
07:06of the movie was set in motion right here? Because instead of sending it to just Kyle,
07:10he sends it to the entire galaxy. Which means that their enemy, the Gorg, will now be able to find
07:15and destroy their entire planet. So then we get a wacky chase scene where O's trying to get to
07:19Antarctica because there's no boove there, I guess. And it eventually leads him to this convenience store
07:24where him and Tip will cross paths. To where Tip just shoves his ass in a freezer like that episode
07:28of Regular Show. And then O says his iconic line,
07:31Can I come into the out now? Remember this, it's gonna be important later. But then O sparks a
07:35flashback to when Tip's mom was captured by the boove. And it's like, very clearly Christmas here.
07:40You know, Jesus' birthday and all. So I'm just asking, if this happened in real life,
07:43how many people would think this would be the second coming of Christ initially? And then Tip
07:46actually does let O into the out now because she needs him to fix her car. And then we cut to the
07:50newly formed boove world, where Smek is giving a rundown of how the government is handling the
07:54current matter with the utmost respect and diligence. And we're out. We are doomed!
07:58And Captain Smek summons the big-brained boove, which might just have some of the
08:02funniest character designs in the entire film. Like, my god, look at him. And they all get a
08:06grand idea. Just cancel his email. And they actually say the word email. So like, the boove have email?
08:13This implies that they just had regular mail in the first place? How long had the boove been a race?
08:17They have flying bubble cars, but they still have email. You'd think they'd find some super
08:21sophisticated high-tech way of communication that isn't email. I don't know, boove lore is inconsistent.
08:25But we finally get to see what O's invite looked like, and I'm just gonna let it speak for itself.
08:30You are all invited to a party. Just head to the Milky Way. Third planet from the sun.
08:36My best friend Kyle will be there. Kyle! Kyle! Kyle! Kyle is sent after O, the now fugitive,
08:43and then we get to see the greatest form of transportation ever created. I calls it
08:48And after creating hundreds of thousands of dollars in property damage,
08:50Tip decides to let O come along in a search for my mom. Who is my mom? No, my mom. What did I say?
08:57And they finally decide to put their differences aside and get to Paris to find Tip's mom.
09:00Since the boove headquarters is in the middle of the Eiffel Tower for some reason,
09:04I don't know why. I mean they could have just picked like, the Pentagon or something. I don't know.
09:08And then we do get this admittedly cool shot above the outskirts of New York.
09:11But then afterwards we get a way better shot.
09:13And afterwards we get to hear the legend of the Shusher, the Staff Captain Smek yields,
09:22and how he heroically ran away from the Gorg at a peace meeting,
09:25and just up and stole this random rock thing and created the Shusher.
09:28Now why is it called the Shusher?
09:29Josh!
09:30Hmm, whatever.
09:34We cut to later in the day, where now we can clearly see the Statue of Liberty has been transformed
09:38into its rightful form, the Statue of Smek. And now with Kyle hot on their tail,
09:42it leads them to the infamous bathroom scene, which if you remember any of the trailers for
09:46this movie, you'll remember this gem.
09:48Do not eat the blue mints! Thankfully there is a large bowl of lemonade!
09:53Do not drink the lemonade!
09:55But then out of nowhere Kyle shows up, and before he can demand the password,
09:58Tip comes in and beats the ever-loving shit out of O.
10:01The only thing that should be on everybody's face is extra cheese!
10:05And we finally get to what's easily the funniest shot in the entire movie,
10:08and I'm sure you've probably seen it somewhere recently.
10:10I erased him!
10:12Then we get to the scene where O and Tip are going across the Atlantic Ocean,
10:17and we get some simple dialogue between them.
10:19As simple as it is, it actually does give some genuine boove lore.
10:22Like how if probability levels for anything they do drop below 50%, the boove just give up.
10:26Which I guess is a little neat tidbit that adds to the lore.
10:28I mean, as much lore as this movie can have, but oh well.
10:31And afterwards, Tip decides to play a song on the radio.
10:33To where we get another instance of the film's banging soundtrack.
10:36No question, this is easily the best part of the entire movie.
10:39And you know how I said that they want to remind you that Rihanna voices Tip?
10:42Yeah, well, Rihanna also did like half the songs for this movie.
10:45So, Tip, who's voiced by Rihanna, put on a Rihanna song on the radio,
10:51and I guess just doesn't question the fact that she sounds exactly like her.
10:55I don't get it.
10:57But I will say, the song they play, Dancing in the Dark, is an absolute bop.
11:00But I obviously can't even play a snippet of it without getting demonetized to hell and back.
11:03So I'll leave a link to this film's banging soundtrack in the description.
11:06Feel free to check it out when you're done with this video.
11:08But yeah, when the song plays Oh Can't Resist Busting the Lime,
11:11and eventually starts having a seizure or something and decides to just jump out of the car like,
11:15I don't know, you do you man.
11:17And when he finally comes back literal hours later, Tip is rightfully mad for him just ditching.
11:21And we actually do get a heartfelt-ish moment where Tip explains how the boove ruined her whole life.
11:25Which like, I mean, I'd be pretty pissed if this happened myself.
11:27But this somewhat emotional moment is just cut off by this family guy ass cutaway gag.
11:31Where it shows what boove are like when they're young.
11:33Like, what were they thinking here?
11:35And then it just goes right back to the emotional stuff like, pfft.
11:37Then we cut to the boove mothership.
11:39Where the big brain boove are going to hook themselves up to these big brain boove machines.
11:43And the solution to get into Oh's account so they can cancel the invite before it reaches the gorg,
11:47is to simply just type in random numbers and letters and hopefully get the password.
11:51Which I won't spoil, but I'll tell you that it is very long.
11:54And if you do the math on how many keys are on a standard keyboard,
11:57as well as how many character slots are in the finished password,
11:59the chances of them correctly guessing the password would be one out of...
12:04I was going to look up what this number would be written out,
12:06but then it looked like this so I gave up.
12:07But yeah, I was going to go and look up how many days and years this would be.
12:11But screw that, I give up.
12:12I spent like 20 minutes trying to figure this out.
12:14I got things to do, like talk about more boove.
12:16But we move on to another scene of Tip and Oh flying through their slushiest.
12:19And we find out that Oh-
12:20It auto-corrected Oh to Ohio, I'm killing myself.
12:23And we find out that Oh has broken the boove rule of over nine mistakes and you're out.
12:26And he's on mistake number 62.
12:28And he's certain he's going to be erased if he returns.
12:31But like, he's on number 62.
12:33Like, I guess they've just been lenient this whole time.
12:35But like 53 times.
12:37I mean, I get this one's bigger and all.
12:39But 53 times.
12:40I mean, come on.
12:41I don't know.
12:41Maybe it's his boove charm.
12:42Knock, knock.
12:43Who's there?
12:44Interrupting cow.
12:45Interrupting cow who?
12:49Interrupting cow who?
12:50And then we go to the iconic makeup scene where they play Rihanna's only girl in the world.
12:54And they just give Oh a little dawn in his face so now no one will recognize him.
12:57Yippity-doo-dah.
12:58So then the two are able to sneak aboard the boove ship or whatever.
13:01And they get into the big boy boove room.
13:03And um, I think the less said about this the better.
13:06The two go to log in to boove's account with his password.
13:08Which is quote,
13:09My name is Oh, Captain Smech is great and anyone who does not think that is a Poomp One.
13:13It doesn't work and they have a panic attack.
13:15But then they realize Oh had the caps lock on.
13:17Oh you.
13:18And with literally a second to spare, they finally disable the message and save Earth from a Gorg invasion.
13:23And here's the part where I'd like to remind you that the main premise of the plot has been solved.
13:27And we are literally halfway through the movie.
13:29So the two use the boove navigator to find the location of my mom.
13:32And they find out that her alongside every other human is located in the good old country of Australia.
13:36God no wonder the boove sent them there.
13:38Living there seems like absolute hell.
13:39And the two find the location of Tip's mom, who is voiced by Miss Yennefer Lopez.
13:43And I swear to god she just looks like grown up Dora.
13:46Like especially with that new Paramount plus CGI Dora.
13:48I mean these two are literally the same organism, you cannot tell me otherwise.
13:51But the two exit the mothership and find out they've gotten boove'd.
13:54How many times have I said boove already in this video, dear lord.
13:57And Smech teases Oh on how many times he's messed up.
13:59And now he's got to erase him.
14:00But then Tip threatens to injure the portafort.
14:02But then they remember they're in zero build.
14:04This human's girl got an A in geometry.
14:07And then all the boove's just roll off to their deaths.
14:10Like there is no way of getting around it.
14:11There's no way all these guys could have landed and conveniently placed water or curtains and stuff.
14:15There's got to be a boove death count going.
14:17But eventually our dynamic duo break their bubble car thing.
14:20And our Lulu just hanging on for dear life at the needlepoint of the Eiffel Tower.
14:23And then after that we get some crazy rooftop hijinks.
14:26As well as an outdated 3D shot.
14:27And the two leave in slushies and for some reason they kept Starry Night by Van Gogh.
14:31Like if there is a single scratch on that thing they're going to jail for the rest of their lives.
14:35And blah blah blah another Oh and Tip dialogue scene.
14:38And they get in their car and oh hey look the ukulele's back.
14:41Chekov's gun in it's purest form am I right?
14:44And then we get such epic things as the Smek Sphinx.
14:46As well as another pop song yippee.
14:48This one's actually pretty good.
14:49And they all have a nice little sleep in their car.
14:51Until the Gorge shows up and starts wrecking s**t.
14:54And every boove is doing what they know best.
14:55Running away as fast as possible.
14:57And after the slushies takes a hit.
14:59They lose the power of Tangerine Twist Big L.
15:01Resulting in a crash landing.
15:03And with the slushies down we get the most emotional death scene in all of cinema.
15:07Where slushies runs out of power and is deactivated.
15:09Where boys cried.
15:11Where men cried.
15:12And after Oh continues to be an annoying little piece of s**t.
15:14They see a trail of smoke only a few hundred feet away.
15:17And they find what's known as a Gorg Super Chip.
15:19Meaning that they can fully repair slushies.
15:21So yeah the whole slushies death thing was kind of a lie.
15:24They pulled a JJ Abrams on ya.
15:25However after that we get what's unironically my favorite scene in the whole film.
15:28To where Tip and Oh fly in and see the monolithic amount of houses and people that the boove have relocated.
15:32And it's honestly a pretty cool spectacle.
15:34And the song that plays here towards the sun by Rihanna.
15:36Is a perfect fit.
15:37And on it's own it's just a banger.
15:39And as Oh sees all the boove running away.
15:41He kind of kicks into his instincts.
15:42And he grabs Tip and tries to make her go with him into the boove ship.
15:45And we get the iconic animated film buddy breakup moment.
15:48But honestly I think it's done pretty well here I guess.
15:50Since the music and the whole spectacle with the boove running away in the final boarding ship.
15:54Is honestly executed pretty well.
15:56It gives the scene a lot more tension than it would otherwise.
15:58And we get this honestly neat part where Oh has to choose in a matter of seconds to run to the ship.
16:02Or to run after Tip and try to convince her to come with him.
16:04And he chooses the former as that's what he was taught his whole life.
16:07And honestly I really like how he changes to all his different colors in this shot.
16:10Since there's so many emotions going through him in these crucial seconds.
16:12It's honestly pretty well done for what it is.
16:14And when he finally gets onto the boove mothership.
16:16The Gorg mothership shows up and starts the assault.
16:19The Gorg mothership!
16:20And every boove runs away except for Oh.
16:22Who sticks the Gorg superchip in their computer bubble thing.
16:25And he sends their ship curdling towards the stars and allows them to escape.
16:28And then when our man Captain Smeck tries to interrogate Oh.
16:30The entire boove race finds out that one of their own ran towards the danger for once.
16:34Wowzers.
16:35And then Oh gives a generic animated movie speech about how boove bad human good.
16:39And then we get the hardest shot in cinematic history.
16:42And through a unanimous vote Oh is elected as the new boove captain persons.
16:53And Kyle and Oh finally become friends and it's super duper epic.
16:56And then we cut back to Earth where Miss Yennefer Lopez sings her song Feel the Light.
17:00And it honestly works pretty well for how Tip's unable to locate her mom.
17:03And she goes to that picnic patio area thing that she saw her mom in and she's devastated she's not there.
17:08Like did you really expect her to just be there?
17:10She's she would have been there for like days straight my guy.
17:13So she starts weeping like a stinky poopoo head.
17:15But then Oh comes in and is finally able to show Tip where her mom is.
17:18Since I guess now he has boove tech or whatever.
17:21And we get a very emotional scene where Tip reunites with Dora.
17:24And it's immediately followed by Oh and
17:27Jesus Christ.
17:28Oh decides to look inside the artifact gem rock thingy.
17:30Which Captain Smeck carelessly stole from the Gorg.
17:33And I swear to god every time I see this shot where he opens it up.
17:35I think he's just gonna take a little sif out of it.
17:37And finding out what's inside later it makes it very very funny.
17:40But then the Gorg mothership comes in hot and is ready to destroy the entire planet.
17:43And when they go to investigate Oh traps Tip and my mom into the slushiest.
17:47And makes an epic callback.
17:48Tip cannot come into the out now.
17:52And then he starts screaming like a goddamn banshee.
17:56And the Gorg couldn't see him so Tip gives mom her Christmas present.
17:59Which turned out to be a homemade mirror how adorable.
18:01And she uses it to shine a light into the Gorg's eyeball.
18:04And get his attention to look at Oh.
18:05And after seeing he has the shusha rock.
18:07The Gorg immediately stops the ship.
18:08But it won't stop in time.
18:10And we get A this really funny freeze frame.
18:12And B this really funny shot.
18:13But it's revealed that Oh is actually alive.
18:15Yippee.
18:16And we get a live Gorg reaction as he comes face to face with our heroes.
18:19And he opens his face like sister location.
18:21And we get this reveal of what the Gorg actually looks like.
18:23And I gotta say this is one of those character designs.
18:25That looks like if you touched it at all.
18:27It would just start screaming in pure agony.
18:29And that thought is very funny to me.
18:31And we get the grand reveal of what was in the shusha the whole time.
18:34It was the entire next generation of the Gorg.
18:37And with that the Gorg leaves.
18:38And now we cut to two weeks later where everything is back to normal.
18:41I mean like every building in the city had to have like a massive hole in it.
18:44So like they fixed this in two weeks.
18:46But then we cut to Oh who finally gets to have his housewarming party.
18:49Now featuring both Boove and human alike.
18:51And we get to see a picture of Tip and her mom doing the iconic Dreamworks pose.
18:55And they play dancing in the dark again.
18:56And all the best song in the movie plays.
18:58All our main characters have a dance party.
18:59Cause let's be real.
19:00Was there anything but a 100% chance it was going to end in a dance party.
19:03And we get to see that now most Boove live on the moon.
19:06That's goofy.
19:07And we get the shot of all the Gorg and his youngins.
19:09Which is rather swell.
19:10As well as a bunch of other aliens who are coming to earth for Oh's party.
19:13As of course the message would have reached all other aliens throughout the galaxy.
19:16And all three of these guys look absolutely terrifying and I hate them all equally.
19:19And then one final selfie ends the film.
19:21And that's it.
19:22That's home.
19:23Nearly six pages later we're finally through this hour and a half of pure adjectives.
19:28To begin I want to start with the things I actually did like.
19:31As I've said the music.
19:32Pretty much every song that's by a famous singer is an absolute banger.
19:36And I think pretty much every time one gets used.
19:38It actually does work pretty well with the scene.
19:39As well I think the voice acting is really good in this movie.
19:42I mean besides the whole Mike situation.
19:43I think everybody's lines sound pretty good.
19:45Especially Rihanna who until recently I didn't even really know she could act that well.
19:49Well at least voice acting.
19:50I mean I haven't seen her in anything else.
19:51I don't know maybe I can eventually watch that battleship movie.
19:54Uh yeah I think that's about it.
19:56Now onto the bad stuff.
19:57The humor in this movie is not very funny unironically.
20:01Because ironically this movie's a gold mine.
20:03Like I said I'm sure you've seen the one clip where he says I erased him.
20:08But there are so many shots like that in this movie that are just visually hilarious.
20:11And I'm pretty sure it was not their intention.
20:13Also the name Boove is very funny to me.
20:15And then there's the general writing.
20:17I mean it's a kids movie from Dreamworks in 2015.
20:20What do you want me to say here?
20:21It's not like this movie's deeper and thought provoking in many aspects.
20:24It's just kind of there.
20:25I sort of talked about it in the intro of the video.
20:27But Dreamworks in this era was kind of a mixed bag of audiences.
20:30And honestly they still kind of are.
20:31Like for every movie with themes that you can enjoy both when you're a kid and when you're a grown up.
20:35You just had some hot baby garbage like trolls or the boss baby 2.
20:40But this one is just weird because it really doesn't follow either of those.
20:43The writing isn't smart or clever like Shrek or How to Train Your Dragon.
20:46And it's definitely not as funny as something like Mr. Peabody and Sherman.
20:49Sherman!
20:50I've got to get you out of here before you touch yourself!
20:54But I wouldn't say it's a movie for actual toddlers.
20:56More like 9 to 11 year olds.
20:58And I think they tried to market this movie more so to girls rather than boys.
21:01Because I mean like you got Rihanna looking for her mom.
21:04And you got all the makeup scenes and stuff like that.
21:06I mean hell they released this tip doll which looks absolutely cursed back in 2015.
21:09Which actually brings me on to my next point of discussion.
21:11The marketing!
21:12Because if there's anything anyone remembers from this movie.
21:15It's the fact of just how absolutely everywhere this movie was.
21:18I can't think of anything that didn't have this movie plastered onto it.
21:21Like if you were a real one you unleashed the true power of the Denny's home promotion.
21:25And you would have gotten that weird cup thing that had the boove ears.
21:28I mean this is just raw.
21:29And then there's of course the widely known McDonald's promotion.
21:31Which I gotta say was pretty mid.
21:33Because he literally just gave us oh and all his various emotions.
21:36They really thought they had something going with this whole oh having multiple
21:39colors and emotions thing didn't they?
21:41I don't know it's still better than anything McDonald's shits out nowadays though.
21:44Uh what else is there?
21:45Uh there was a bunch of figures and plushes released.
21:47Like this iconic baby boove plush.
21:49Then there's of course.
21:51But it seems all this was kind of in vain since it didn't really add up to a big box office total.
21:55The film cost a grand total of about 135 million to make.
21:58It had a worldwide return of 386 million.
22:01Which doesn't seem bad on paper.
22:03But in reality they had to do stuff like marketing and distribution.
22:06And all kinds of other stuff movies have to go through.
22:08So in reality they probably just barely broke even if that.
22:11So because of that this movie is kind of deemed a failure I'd assume.
22:14I mean they had just come off the heels of The Croods.
22:16Which earned nearly 600 million worldwide.
22:18Eventually netting it a sequel.
22:19Which by the way this is what Dawn Betterman looked like in the sequel.
22:23And this is what she used to look like during the film's development.
22:26I'm just laying that out there.
22:27And while The Croods was both a critical and financial hit.
22:30The next film Mr. Peabody and Sherman.
22:32Had even worse results ranking in 100 million less on a similar budget.
22:35So home was just kind of meandering and led to an underperformance.
22:38Moving on though here's something I'm not sure many of you know about.
22:40The movie was actually based on a book.
22:42And the name of that book was The True Meaning of Smeknag.
22:45You see he was with us the whole time.
22:47And to even entertain the thought I'm ever going to read a book.
22:50So like I'm just going to assume that it's the same plot with random little changes here and there.
22:54Like I doubt the urinal scene made a comeback in this.
22:57But the big takeaway from this whole book is the designs of the boove.
23:00Because you see this is what I'd call a boove.
23:03This is what I'd call Satan.
23:05These are genuinely some of the creepiest designs I've ever seen for a character.
23:09And I don't even think this was intentional.
23:11You see this this is just generic kids design.
23:13This is a demon.
23:15Like if you grew up with the book and the surrounding material maybe these are just what they look like to you.
23:19But me these are little gremlins that are going to rip out my spinal cord when I sleep.
23:23The book was written by Adam Rex.
23:25And I was thinking of maybe sending him an email and seeing what he thought about the movie compared to his original vision.
23:29But then I realized that he's going to look at this video and then realize that it opens with me smashing his creation.
23:34And then there's another thing I'd like to mention surrounding the film's marketing.
23:37Being the fact that they made this music video with Yennefer Lopez.
23:41Which is for that song that plays when they're trying to find my mom.
23:43And my god this is so unaware and so goddamn funny.
23:47Like you have Jennifer Lopez dancing around stars and space and stuff.
23:51And then we just cut randomly to clips from the movie.
23:53Like this elegant supermodel lady dancing throughout space.
23:56And then boove.
23:57This is the most tone depth thing I've ever seen.
24:00And then later a bunch of CGI boove start dancing with her and it's absolute gold.
24:05This is so goddamn funny.
24:06Like did nobody watch this and think yeah this is a bit much.
24:10My god.
24:11And then finally.
24:12The last thing I want to mention surrounding this movie and everything around it.
24:16Is none other than the Netflix show.
24:19Okay so if you don't remember.
24:20For some reason it was just gospel that every single DreamWorks movie that came out.
24:25Needed to have some sort of animated series to go with.
24:27And most of them were relegated to Netflix.
24:29Like for example you had Dawn of the Croods.
24:32A 2D animated film which is a prequel to the original film.
24:35And it has it like before all the neighbors died of the common cold.
24:39Or what about the Mr. Peabody and Sherman show.
24:41Which is just more of their wacky misadventures throughout space and time.
24:45And it's supposed to be a mix of the movie's character designs.
24:47As well as the original show's art style.
24:50Cool.
24:50Mr. Peabody is voiced by Jerry.
24:52God f***ing damn it.
24:53Because Caesar's army is the key to your return to power.
24:57All you have to do is get Caesar to-
24:58Also when I was looking up images to research this part.
25:03I found the logo.
25:06But like it was on a white background.
25:08So it just blended in with the Peabody part.
25:10So it just says end the Sherman.
25:12I don't know why I find this really funny.
25:14But this is f***ing end the Sherman.
25:17But the most absolute gangster one was turbo fast.
25:21Which I remember distinctly watching as a kid.
25:23And by that I mean I watched the first episode.
25:25I absolutely hated it and I never watched it again.
25:28I'm not even lying this is the only one I've literally seen anything of.
25:31But I can pretty much guarantee you the rest are probably in the same quality.
25:34Sounded like voice actors.
25:35Simple animation.
25:36And just overall not as fun or entertaining as the initial films.
25:39It's just for kids who are obsessed with the movies for like a week.
25:41And required some sort of supplemental material with these characters.
25:44You know like when I saw Turbo for the first time.
25:46Oh yeah I forgot we were talking about home or whatever.
25:49Yeah so this show is called Home the Adventures of O and Tip.
25:52And this art style man.
25:55Holy hell.
25:56I don't think I have ever seen a more ugly cartoon in my entire life.
26:00Like I'm not even joking I'd rather watch Problem Solvers.
26:03Say what you want about Teen Titans Go or Pony Life or f***ing Primos for that matter.
26:08But holy hell this is so ugly.
26:10As for the show itself I mean it's a pre-teen cartoon show based off of a 2015 animated movie
26:19that did poorly at the box office.
26:21It got four seasons.
26:22It is the most generic ass slapstick nonsense pre-teen propaganda I have ever seen.
26:27I watched it for a grand total of five minutes.
26:30They did the fusion dance for some reason.
26:32I hated it.
26:32And now I'll never go back.
26:34Here's a bonus useless Sonic fact for you.
26:36Did you know that Chakra X, the guy who made Nazo Unleashed, was an animator on this show?
26:43Yeah.
26:44The guy who made this shot.
26:45Tails.
26:47Son.
26:48He was directly responsible for this show's existence.
26:51Bless his soul.
26:53And there you have it.
26:54There's a look at Dreamworks' home.
26:57During this outro I'm going to be having a slideshow of random funny images I found on the internet
27:02relating to this movie so there's that.
27:05Comment your favorite one.
27:06This is easily one of the strangest movies to date.
27:08Like it's not egregiously terrible, but it's also not egregiously generic.
27:13There's a good amount of random memorable lines here and there and actually funny quips.
27:17You stole my mom.
27:18My mom!
27:20But as time goes on and the studio releases both bangers and stinky baby movies.
27:24It seems like more and more people just treat this movie as bro thinks he was part of the team.
27:28But it's really never been a more interesting time to observe Dreamworks.
27:31They tried to follow in the style of Disney and create franchise after franchise in the 2010s.
27:35And that really only led to varied success.
27:37But with the releases of stuff like The Bad Guys and of course Puss in Boots 2,
27:41it shows that there's really still people at this company who have a lot of creative ideas
27:44they want to share.
27:45And I mean hell with the way Disney's going down the shitter,
27:47it seems like they might actually be able to beat him this time around.
27:49We'll just have to wait and see.
27:51But anyway, thank you guys very much, very, very much for watching this video.
27:54This sure was a long one, so thank you for sticking through the boov nonsense.
27:58And this is a long ass script.
27:59I'm currently on page 9.
28:01This is gonna be one long ass video.
28:03But this was definitely a passion project of mine,
28:05as this movie really takes me back to the good old days.
28:07The days where all that mattered was the current Denny's promotion.
28:10If you liked what you saw and you want to see more, feel free to subscribe.
28:13It's always free and you can change your mind at any time.
28:15It greatly helps me in continuing to make videos, please.
28:18And if you have any other random ass movies and stuff like this you want me to talk about,
28:21feel free to let me know down below as well.
28:23And hey, maybe this video will inspire some of you to go and watch some other forgotten classics.
28:27Alright boys, who wants to go watch Planet 51 next?
28:29But yeah, I guess with that all out of the way,
28:31subscribe right now or I'm hitting you with the shusher.
