First off is an animated feature film which will surely warm your hearts and bring out the laughs this weekend. The story revolves around an alien named Oh, voiced by Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory), who’s on the run from his own people. He then finds himself on Earth and befriends a human girl Tip which is voiced by Rihanna (Battleship). The two then must band together to reunite Tip and her mother while stopping an alien invasion.
This is one adventure you don’t want to miss as it lets you realize the importance of family, friendship, and the uniqueness of being you! Aside from Jim Parsons and Rihanna lending their voices, we also got the legendary comedian Steve Martin (The Pink Panther) along with Jennifer Lopez (Hustlers) and Matt Jones (Brightburn).

This gives an opportunity for a larger world to explore while the weirdness and awesomeness would not disappoint you. JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Season 3 has already been released on Netflix this May 26th.
