A suit-wearing briefcase-carrying baby pairs up with his seven-year old brother to stop the dastardly plot of the CEO of Puppy Co. A new baby's arrival impacts a family, told from the point of view of a delightfully unreliable narrator – a wildly imaginative 7-year-old named Tim. The most unusual Boss Baby (Alec Baldwin) arrives at Tim's home in a taxi, wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase. The instant sibling rivalry must soon be put aside when Tim discovers that Boss Baby is actually a spy on a secret mission, and only he can help thwart a dastardly plot that involves an epic battle between puppies and babies.
Reviews:
It's the rare cartoon that actually feels like a cartoon, propelled by its goofiness and sheer energy and rarely bogged down by boring, polemical lesson-learning. John Semley – Globe and Mail
The animation and sound effects are so superbly rendered – the fantasy sequences have an entirely different and nifty flavor – that a drop of drool or a puff of baby powder seems to have real texture and feeling. Mark Kennedy – Associated Press
The Boss Baby is a funny, clever take on sibling rivalry that should appeal both to children – especially those who, we can be thankful, are removed from politics – and their parents. Dan Webster – Spokesman-Review
