The Boss Baby on siblings’ love
Dream-Works Animation’s latest fulllength feature The Boss Baby explores the wonders of a child’s imagination and celebrates the precious bond between siblings. Featuring the voices of awardwinning Alec Baldwin, Lisa Kudrow, Jimmy Kimmel, Steve Buscemi and Miles Bakshi, The
Boss Baby is packed with memorable and relatable characters based on the best-selling book by Marla Frazee. Directed by Tom McGrath, The Boss Baby is told from the wildly imaginative perspective of seven-year-old Tim Templeton (Bakshi). Tim has the perfect life, enjoying his daily rituals and all of his parents’ attention, until one day a new baby brother (Baldwin) arrives — in a taxi, wearing a suit. Like all new babies, Tim’s brother takes over the house and quickly becomes “the boss.”
“I’ve played a lot of tough-talking, coffee-swilling business executives throughout my career, but I have to admit none of them can hold a pacifier to the diaper-wearing boss I play in The Boss Baby, says Baldwin.
McGrath tells the story of The Boss Baby as seen through the eyes of a seven-year old, “Our aspiration for The Boss
Baby was no easy feat. We had to relearn the techniques from the mid-century masters of the ’40s, ’50s and ’60s. Not only did we want to create an enchanting world, but we also wanted expressiveness in our characters that previously could only be hand-drawn. These goals are evolutionary to the art of computer animation.”
The Boss Baby is opening on April 15 in theaters nationwide, from 20th Century Fox to be distributed by Warner Bros.
