#WHO IS THE VOICE OF BOSS BABY MOVIE MOVIE#
Yet, it is commendable effort to teach kids about accepting a new sibling, so the movie is not without value. But I’m not the one who should have been laughing. Yes, I probably haven’t laughed that much at a family movie in awhile. There is so much unrealized potential in the premise, that The Boss Baby is truly a disappointing effort. The film also raises the question of ‘where do babies come from’, and while the film itself creates its own airy and bright baby factory up in the sky, there will most likely be an awkward conversation between kids and parents following the film. Most children won’t have talking, college-educated infants as their new baby brothers and sisters, so they most likely will have trouble understanding. It sets a good, but odd example, of how children should act once their parents decide to expand the family. That being said, I respect that Dreamworks focused on the issue of older siblings accepting newborn siblings. Although it is clear that the primary relationship in the one between brothers, much of the time you’re just hoping that this fun cast of characters would grace the screen again. Although Baby Boss has a boardroom full, including Jimbo, Staci, and the triplets, they don’t appear nearly enough to justify even bothering to introduce them. What the film lacks is a tightly-knit pack of baby characters (think 90s cartoon hit Rugrats). Where were the secondary storylines? Why didn’t the other babies attend ‘Take Your Kids to Work Day’? All the time spent in imaginary worlds, could have been dedicated for further sequences with the other babies. But at times, it almost seems like too much for the film. CEO, Francis Francis.īright colored sequences, that transcend reality, bring to life the imagination sequences of Timothy. Steve Buscemi voices a fascinating villain in Puppy Co. Tobey Maguire is a relatable narrator, with just enough youth in his voice that it doesn’t feel disconnected from the 7 year-old character of Timothy Templeton. Templeton, blissfully unaware of the secrets plans of their suited baby. Lisa Kudrow and Jimmy Kimmel are great as the voices of Mr. But there’s only so much of this, that it seems an afterthought, rather than a focus to make the film appeal to kids. Or the golden toilet in the much coveted executive office for Baby Corps. potty humor to please the little ones, like a dog-shaped bounce house that the lead characters escape from using a small hole under the tail. He wears a suit, speaks with the voice and wit of Alec Baldwin. Not that the kids didn’t enjoy it, but they weren’t as ecstatic and enthused as I have seen with other films by the studio. DreamWorks Animation and the director of MADAGASCAR invite you to meet a most unusual baby. As someone who attended a screening where the majority of audience members were below the age of nine, I can say with confidence that Dreamworks missed that section of the audience with this comedy.
But when terms such as “severance package,” “yes man,” and “human resources” are needed to understand the punchline, the humor is likely completely lost on kids. But Baldwin by his very nature has a quality to his elocution that makes it difficult at times for children to relate, but luckily the animators created a big-eyed, round-headed, animated baby that is pretty adorable, and hard to hate.Įlevated word choice and business jargon will be lost on the children, but the parents will surely enjoy the jokes. So get ready to hear Jimmy Kimmel and Lisa Kudrow once again in their respective parental roles.Alec Baldwin is the obvious, and admittedly fantastic, choice as the voice of the baby executive who goes by the name “Boss Baby.” Truly, to his credit, much of the humor would not have landed correctly had he not been voicing the role.
It’s still better than nothing, though, right?Īnother piece of good news is that Alec Baldwin is set to return to voice the baby himself for the sequel, which means there's a good chance that the rest of the cast members will be back to voice their characters as well. That being said, Boss Baby 2 is set to premiere in theaters on March 26, 2021.

But since it's sure to inspire a renewed interest in the characters, it makes you wonder, will there be a Boss Baby sequel? The new Netflix series won’t be the last you see of the suit-wearing, talking baby and his older brother.Īccording to Deadline, Universal Pictures made the decision back in May 2017 to go ahead with plans for a Boss Baby sequel around the same time that plans for the next Trolls movie were approved. This new animated series is based on the movie that you may have been forced to watch at least a dozen times since it was released.
