About This Movie

Almost Home is an intriguing little short by Todd Wilderman that serves as a fun primer for DreamWorks' upcoming feature, Home. The animation has this engaging, almost whimsical quality, with vibrant colors and lively character designs that really draw you in. The pacing is brisk, which works well for a short, but it also captures a certain sense of urgency in the aliens' quest for a new home. The themes of belonging and exploration are pretty universal, and you can really feel that in the characters' interactions. The practical effects used in some scenes give it a tactile feel, which is a nice touch. It stands out as more than just a promotional piece, showcasing Wilderman's knack for storytelling.

Not a full feature, but complements Home wellInteresting character designsShort runtime makes it easy to revisit
