MANILA, Philippines- In her first animated film, seven-time Grammy Award winning singer and actress Rihanna stars as the voice of Gratuity Tucci, known as Tip in the film “Home.”
She’s a feisty, independent and very relatable girl who has to fend for herself when her mother is captured by an alien species, the Boov, along with all the other humans on Earth.
Tip is separated from her mother (Jennifer Lopez) when an alien race called the Boov take over the Earth. Humans are rounded up and relocated – and Tip appears to be the last girl on the planet. She meets one of the Boov, Oh, (Jim Parsons) who is also alone. An outsider, unpopular with his species, he has become a fugitive after making a big mistake and is in trouble with his leader, Captain Smek (Steve Martin). Oh and Tip are both on the run and set off together in an amazing flying car, on a thrilling and funny adventure.
