There are so many magical moments throughout. Several times I found myself times trying to find them in the scene. Also, there are many toys from the 70s and 80s included which I enjoyed. Watching a working large scale replica of one of my favorite games when I was young (Mouse Trap) was particularly fun. My favorite scene is when Tim and Boss Baby work together to sneak into Puppy Co. I feel that Baldwin's voice talent in this is one of the key reasons this movie shines.
His witty personality mixed with a take-charge attitude bursts through the screen.
Alec Baldwin voices this character with great panache. He says that the movie is partially an apology letter to his own brother for all the grief he put him in when they were young. The Boss Baby is fabulously directed by Tom McGrath, who you might recognize from his work on all three Madagascar movies and Megamind. And in the midst of it all, Tim and his new brother Boss Baby (Alec Baldwin) learn the true meaning of the love of family. Much to Tim's surprise, the two bond when they join forces to uncover the evil plot of the CEO of Puppy Co. Tim and Boss Baby face sibling rivalry, trying to both win the affection of their parents.
#Boss baby movie 1 full
7-year-old Tim (Miles Christopher Bakshi) had the perfect life and the full attention of his parents until one day, a new arrival took it all away and became the Boss of his family. Its ending is satisfying enough to almost make up for its shortfalls but those after a silly throwaway animation, can’t go wrong here.Dreamworks' The Boss Baby, is an extraordinary, fun and lighthearted animated film based on an award-winning picture book by Marla Frazee. Complete with puppies and babies, The Boss Baby is a good animation let down by a poor final third. The final third of the film gets a little too formulaic for my liking and the after-thought villain was a disappointment but families and kids should be happy – this is vintage Dreamworks material and complete with its bright, vibrant animation dripping with enthusiasm will be enough to sustain attention. It draws such parallels to the first couple of weeks and months of a new arrival to the family and I thought Boss Baby does a great job of showing this, albeit through the over-active imagination of Timmy. You see, where The Boss Baby really shines is when it explores the interesting sibling dynamic between Tim and the baby. It almost feels like it was tacked on as an afterthought and detracts from the main draw here – the baby and Tim. Whilst I appreciate as an animation a degree of disbelief can be forgiven (after all a talk baby wearing a suit is the main character here), it feels lazy when the main villain is given nonsensical motivations and a maniacal laugh for the sake of it. The further forward it delves though, the more far fetched it becomes. The gravelly, cool voice of Alec Baldwin as the Boss Baby is a great touch and his chemistry alongside brother Tim move the film forward. It’s great stuff and infused with the talent of Hans Zimmer on the music, its elevated more than it should be. A long haul flight turns into a game of walk the plank with pirates, sneaking downstairs turns into a tense spy espionage and a run round the garden turns into an explosion filled, physics-defying chase. This was arguably the best part of the film, making some of the more tedium parts of the film larger than life with an injection of creativity. Its an interesting idea and told through the unreliable narration of 7 year old Tim’s eyes, its given a burst of child’s imagination at every turn. Reluctantly, the two have to work together to stop a bigger evil at work but will they be able to put their differences aside to do it? To make matters worse, one of the management babies has been “chosen” as the child for Tim’s parents and what ensues is an interesting sibling dynamic between Tim and his new Boss Baby who’s on a secret assignment. Unfortunately for 7 year old Tim, his perfect life with his parents is about to be turned upside down when he discovers he’s about to be a brother. If you don’t? Well, its upper management for you and a life of endless memos and clawing to the top of the pile. If you giggle adorably like the masses, you’re a family baby. You see, babies aren’t born, they’re chosen through a complicated system of ticking with a feather. Where do babies come from? That dreaded question kids ask and the million and one variations told thereafter by parents is given a feature length film in The Boss Baby.
