Home is officially rated PG. Bontent's independent parent guide recommends it for ages 6+.

Home is an animated adventure about an optimistic alien named Oh who forms an unlikely friendship with a human girl named Tip while hiding from an intergalactic enemy. The film focuses on themes of family separation and belonging, which may be emotionally resonant for younger viewers. Parents should be aware of mild…

There is no sexual content in the film. A brief, non-sexual scene shows an alien character in a shower from the chest up, and there are very mild instances of character transformation played for comic effect.

Violence is limited to mild, stylized slapstick common in animated features. Characters are occasionally hit with gadgets, vehicles crash, and there are tense chases, but all violence is cartoonish and devoid of blood or lasting injury.

Language is very mild. The dialogue includes infrequent instances of name-calling such as 'idiot' and relies on harmless, bathroom-focused humor involving references to bodily functions.

There is no use of alcohol, tobacco, or drugs. The characters interact with various alien liquids, but these are purely fictional and non-intoxicating in nature.

The central theme involves the forced relocation of humans and the emotional distress of a child separated from her mother. While the tone is ultimately uplifting, the narrative focuses on the fear of abandonment and the challenges of being an outsider.

Home runs 94 minutes, directed by Tim Johnson, released in 2015.
