Enjoy the complete DreamWorks Animation short film "Almost Home" starring Steve Martin as the voice of Captain Smek.
DreamWorks Animation’s holidays 2014 film, Home, may not come out until November, but we already have a glimpse of the sci-fi opus that is to come thanks to the newest short film, “Almost Home.” Directed by Tom Wilderman, DreamWorks Animation and 20th Century Fox’s “Almost Home” tells the preamble saga of a race of aliens known as Boov while they traverse the stars and leave one hostile planet after another in their search for a new home. And when their Captain Smek is voiced by Steve Martin, of course there is more than a touch of comedy to expect.
An adaptation of Adam Rex’s children’s book, The True Meaning of Smekday and directed by Tim Johnson of Antz, Home follows the animated critter of choice these days: aliens. While being chased by an even bigger, badder alien, Captain Smek (voiced by Steve Martin) takes his alien race of Boov to Earth, however there is the problem of the current indigenous species on the planet. Thus, Smek kindly rounds up all humans for relocation, save for a resourceful young girl named Tip (Rihanna) who teams up with a bumbling invading alien named Oh (Jim Parsons). Also including the voice of Jennifer Lopez, the vocal cast is full of heavy-hitters.
Home opens on November 26, 2014.
