You can watch Pet Alien (2005) for free on Hoopla.

As if adolescence weren't difficult enough, 13-year-old Tommy Cadle must not only find his own place on the planet but also play host and tour guide to a group of feisty aliens who have taken up residence in the lighthouse where he lives.

This surreal animation trades typical childhood whimsy for a chaotic, loud-mouthed menagerie of extraterrestrials crashing into a quiet lighthouse. It captures the awkward friction of puberty by pairing a lonely teenager with a group of cosmic pests who refuse to follow human rules.
