2:35 The planet that tried to eat the Boov Mothership looks exactly like the Gorg Mothership in the book The True Meaning of Smekday. Dreamworks decided to change the shape and color scheme of the Gorg Mothership and changed the species name due to the original name somewhat sounding similar to the word nimrod.

[@DrPhil-bv4lp]

It's funny how this ended up becoming a movie.

[@blowyourmindscientist6497]

They already made or at least planned the movie when they made this, which are also based off the book, which I'm telling you, had a better story than the movie. They really botched the plot to make it more "wholesome" and kid friendly I think (even though the original book was already a children's book, but there were some swearing, actual weapons, implied deaths and the protagonist actively trying to be killed multiple times, so, eh). 6 to 7/10 movie for me. Not terrible. The soundtrack for this movie is surprisingly good tho.
