A race of squishy semi-adorable aliens overcomes Earth and relocates the humans. One endearing misfit (Jim Parsons) causes a calamity and teams up with a lost girl (Rihanna) to find her mom. This colorful animation starts with a fast-paced first hour: lots of eye candy and quick comedy. Once the inevitable emotion kicks in, the pace slows and the action is accompanied by tender songs. Still, there’s enuff creativity in the characters and originality in the visuals to delight the eye and charm the imagination.
