It feels more like proof of concept than a film, and given the number of intriguing projects that have fallen by the wayside over the years while this one was in development (not least of which was Shadows, a project that Edgar Wright was going to direct and co-write with David Walliams), The Boss Baby feels remarkably lazy. Now, The Boss Baby feels like it might have been greenlit purely based on a room full of 40-something animators laughing at a CG baby doing Baldwin’s “coffee is for closers” routine from Glengarry Glen Ross. Disney’s head at that time, Jeffrey Katzenberg, eventually split with the House of Mouse to form DreamWorks Animation, a studio that has always seemed fixated on reeling in big names to voice their movies.
His parents (Jimmy Kimmel and Lisa Kudrow) adore the little rascal, but only Tim sees him as he really is – a fast-talking, business-minded tyke, who has been sent by the mysterious Baby Corp and talks just like Alec Baldwin.įamously, Disney convinced Robin Williams to play the role of the Genie in Aladdin, after animating a demo reel of the character performing the actor’s stand-up routine. Inspired by Marla Frazee’s bestselling picture book of the same name, it’s all about Tim Templeton (voiced by Miles Bakshi), a seven-year-old daydreamer whose family life is disrupted by a bouncing baby brother.
Their more acclaimed recent outings have have included the Kung Fu Panda and How To Train Your Dragon movies, but their default mode is still broad comedy and so it goes with their 34th(!) film, The Boss Baby. Watch The Boss Baby online in the UK: Sky Cinema / NOW / Apple TV (iTunes) / Prime Video (Buy/Rent) / TalkTalk TV / Rakuten TV / Google Playįar from the consistency of other major animation studios, such as Pixar, Aardman or Laika, you never quite know which DreamWorks Animation is going to turn up. Cast: Alec Baldwin, Miles Bakshi, Steve Buscemi, Jimmy Kimmel, Lisa Kudrow
