When you fall in love with a movie, sometimes you wonder what happens with the characters later. That’s exactly what happened after we watched Home by DreamWorks Animation. Oh was such a cute character, and his relationship with Tip was so heartwarming. But luckily Home fans don’t have to question much longer – DreamWorks just announced a partnership with Netflix to bring Oh, Tip and other characters from Home to Netflix for a fun animated series.
Picking up where the hit 2015 animated film left off and building upon their enduring friendship, this coming-of-age buddy comedy follows fearless Tip and overenthusiastic Oh, as they navigate the crazily combined human and alien culture they live in, finding adventure everywhere they go. The series will also include tons of memorable and toe-tapping original music that highlight Rachel Crow’s extraordinary vocal talents.
The voice cast is led by the multi-talented Rachel Crow as Tip and Mark Whitten (Rolling High) as the voice of Oh, along with Ana Ortiz (Devious Maids, Ugly Betty), Ron Funches (Get Hard, Undateable), and Matt Jones (Breaking Bad, Mom). Throughout the series’ first season, recurring and guest-starring voices will feature comedy dynamos Cheri Oteri (Saturday Night Live, Liar Liar), Abby Elliot (Saturday Night Live), Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite, Blades of Glory), and Wayne Knight (Jurassic Park, Seinfeld). Developed by Ryan Crego (Sanjay and Craig, Shrek Forever After) and Thurop Van Orman (The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack), the series is executive produced by Ryan Crego.
The first season will be available exclusively to Netflix members in the U.S., Canada, Latin America, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, the Nordics, Benelux and France beginning July 29.
In addition to HOME: ADVENTURES WITH TIP & OH, Netflix will launch several new original series in partnership with DreamWorks Animation in 2016. Along with a reimagining of pop culture phenomenon Voltron, also comesTrollhunters from master storyteller Guillermo del Toro, who will unleash a new, fantastical world centered on two best friends and the startling discovery made beneath their hometown.
Stay tuned for more information on Home: Adventures with Tip & Oh the closer we get to the summer!
