Good choices of character voices.

Warning: Spoilers
I like all the actors who voice for this animated movie and they all are good here, although it took me a few minutes to get the image of Sheldon ("Big Bang Theory") out of my mind whenever Jim Parsons delivered his lines. After I did I found him a great choice for the main character, a little alien named Oh.

Oh and all the others like him have decided to take over Planet Earth for themselves, in a completely non-violent way. They simply suspend the force of gravity for a time, vacuum up all the Earthlings, then deposit them in idealistic prefab villages.

This of course causes problems for most Earthlings but in particular the singer Rihanna as Gratuity 'Tip' Tucci. She has been separated from her mother, Jennifer Lopez as Lucy, and she needs to enlist the help of Oh to locate Lucy.

The other famous voice is Steve Martin as alien Captain Smek. He is fine, nothing special though.

I found this on DVD from the public library and was prepared to be disappointed. It seems most animated features over the past few years just don't work very well. However not only was I NOT disappointed, I found it to be a very charming and entertaining 90 minutes. And the sound track is very good also.
