On June 4, families and collectors can bring the lovable space adventure home when Escape from Planet Earth lands on DVD and Blu-ray. After its energetic 3D run in theatres earlier this year, the film returns to shelves just as summer kicks off, giving audiences a reason to gather for a movie night at home. The release is timed perfectly for vacation weeks and weekend binges, turning a trip to the store into an easy family ritual. The animation bursts with bright colors, punchy action, and jokes that land with kids and adults alike. The pacing keeps the momentum high, while the gentle emotional undertones add heart to the laughs. The result is a playful yet respectful space yarn that invites viewers to revisit Baab and its quirky crew without feeling like they’ve outgrown it. In short, it’s the kind of release that earns a spot on any kid-friendly shelf.
Voice work from Rob Corddry as Gary and Brendan Fraser as Scorch Supernova anchors the film’s humor and energy. Sarah Jessica Parker lends her familiar warmth to a memorable supporting role, while Jessica Alba brings direction and authority to BASA as Lena. Together the ensemble anchors a story that leans into the comedy of two brothers who cannot be more different yet refuse to let their disagreements derail a mission. Corddry humanizes the brainy technician who worries, plans, and sometimes hesitates just long enough to make the moment feel earned. Fraser delivers the film’s larger-than-life hero with charm and bravado, creating a character audiences want to root for.
Set on Baab, Escape from Planet Earth follows two brothers who work for BASA, an organization dedicated to saving worlds. Scorch is the fearless risk-taker who revels in the thrill of rescues and constantly seeks new adventures. Gary is a thoughtful, analytical thinker whose careful calculations keep Scorch from leaping into danger without a plan. Lena, the capable BASA chief, becomes the guiding voice in crisis and helps the brothers navigate the limits of their skills. When Lena detects an SOS from Earth, the so-called Dark Planet, Scorch quickly volunteers for the perilous mission. What begins as a routine rescue spirals into a test of family loyalty when Scorch is captured, and Gary discovers that bravery can look different on different people. He must trust in his own abilities to save his brother.
From chase sequences across dazzling starfields to clever sight gags that pop on screen, the film balances action and warmth with a light touch. The two brothers spar and tease each other, then pull together when the stakes rise, illustrating a simple truth about heroism: you don’t have to be loud to be brave. The movie nudges audiences toward a message about teamwork and mutual respect, showing that brains and bravery complement one another. The humor stays fresh through character-driven scenes and quick dialogue, while the animation keeps a crisp, glossy look that makes every planet feel alive. Even the minor characters feel like real people, which helps the world feel lived-in rather than just a backdrop for stunts.
With the home release comes extras that reward fans who watched closely on the big screen. Deleted scenes provide a glimpse into alternate jokes and character dynamics that didn’t make final cut. Music featurettes reveal how the soundtrack was shaped to match the film’s rhythm and emotional tempo. A behind-the-scenes look offers a peek at the making of Escape from Planet Earth, from voice recording sessions to animation pipelines. These extras add texture to the viewing experience and encourage repeat viewings to catch the subtle details that make Baab feel tangible. The release also makes it easy to revisit favorite moments, rewatch key sequences, and explore the artistry behind the world.
The soundtrack brings additional fuel to the adventure with tracks from Owl City, Cody Simpson, and Delta Rae, among others. The music blends pop melodies with cinematic scoring to underscore both punchy action scenes and quieter character beats. Listeners will notice how certain songs echo Gary and Scorch’s evolving relationship and the film’s sense of wonder. For families and fans, the audio experience extends beyond a single listen, turning the disc into a mini concert that can be enjoyed again and again.
