Bakshi, and Tobey Maguire. The first installment in The Boss Baby franchise, the plot follows a boy helping
his baby brother who is a secret agent in the war for adults' love between babies and puppies. The Boss
Baby premiered at the Miami International Film Festival on March 12, 2017 and was released in the United
States on March 31. The film received mixed reviews from critics upon release, who praised its animation
and voice performances but criticized its plot and humor. It grossed $528 million worldwide against its
$125 million budget. The film received Best Animated Feature nominations at the Academy Awards, Annie
Awards, and Golden Globes A Netflix television series, The Boss Baby: Back in Business, premiered on April
6, 2018, while a sequel film, The Boss Baby: Family Business, was released in theaters and on Peacock on
July 2, 2021

PLOT:
Timothy "Tim" Templeton, an imaginative 7-year-old boy, relishes his parents' attention and is horrified
when a new baby brother arrives. Baby, who Tim saw arrive in a taxi, clad in suit and tie, and carrying a
briefcase, behaves normally around the adults, crying for attention and food and diapers all day and night.
However, Tim, who is quickly growing jealous, sees Baby behaving and talking like an adult whenever Mr.
and Mrs. Templeton aren't looking. One day, Baby holds a staff meeting with other toddlers and infants,
under the guise of a neighborhood play date. Timothy attempts to record them on a cassette tape, but he
is spotted and chased by Baby and his cronies. The parents see this as the children playing in the yard.
When Baby destroys one of Tim's favorite toys, Tim attempts to slingshot him out a window, but his
parents stop him and he accidentally slingshots the tape into the street, where a car smashes it. Tim and
Baby are grounded until they learn to get along. Baby makes Tim suck a special pacifier that allows them
to see Baby Corp, where babies come from. Most babies go to families, but those who don't respond to
tickling are sent to management, where they are given a special baby formula that allows them to think
and behave as adults while remaining young forever. Baby also explains he's on a special mission to
discover why the world's love of babies is being threatened lately by love of puppies, and came to the
Templetons because Tim's Parents work for Puppy Co. Once his mission is done, he will leave. However,
the boys overhear Baby's superiors threatening to fire him, should he fail. As that would mean Baby would
have to stay with the Templetons and grow up, Tim and Baby agree to work together to prevent this. On
Family Day, the Templetons take Tim and Baby with them to Puppy Co., where the boys sneak away to
investigate. They are captured by Francis; the CEO of Puppy Co. Francis reveals he was the Boss of Baby
Corp once but started to slowly grow up because he was partially intolerant to the formula.

He was fired and forced to live with a hillbilly family but saved his magic pacifier. He steals Baby's formula,
intending to use it to make a "Forever Puppy" that never grows up or dies, which will take all love from
babies and give him his revenge on BabyCorp. Francis whisks Tim's parents away to a conference in Las
Vegas and leaves his brother Eugene to watch the children in the guise of a female nanny. Without the
formula, Baby starts to periodically revert to normal infant behavior. The boys, with help from the
neighborhood toddlers, escape Eugene and head to Las Vegas, where they find Francis ready to send a
rocket of Forever Puppies out into the world. Mr. and Mrs. Templeton suspect something is wrong when
they hear their children and are locked up underneath the rocket to be burned. Tim and Baby fight Francis
on a raised walkway, pretending to be pirates; they knock him into the vat of augmented formula, where
he turns back into a baby and is taken home by Eugene. Tim saves his parents, but Baby goes completely
infantile and is stranded on the rocket, which is about to launch. Tim sings a lullaby, and Baby jumps to
him and is revived by the formula. Baby is taken back to Baby Corp and promoted, while all traces of him
are erased from the parents' house and minds. However, he and Tim miss each other terribly, and Tim
finally invites Baby back, saying if there is only love enough for one of them, Baby can have it all. Realizing
that love is something that grows, instead of being split, Baby returns, this time as a normal infant boy
named Theod.

PRODUCTION:
Upon reading the original book on which the film is based McGrath felt a connection to it, as he had an
older brother and felt like "the boss baby of the family". In keeping with that theme, he stated, in an
interview with Den of Geek, that "My personal goal with this was to watch this movie with my brother,
and to see how it affected him!", which resulted in McGrath's brother being moved to tears by the
completed film. The look of the film was inspired by design techniques popularized in the 1960s, as well
as animated films from both the 1950s and 1960s. This was due to McGrath's belief that contemporary
animated films focused too much on realism. To help his staff McGrath would play the opening scene of
Lady and the Tramp (1955) for new hires specifically noting that the film "should be easy on the eyes and
really lead your eye to what’s important in the shot. Voice cast Production Director Tom McGrath at the
2016 San Diego Comic-Con. In September 2014, Alec Baldwin and Kevin Spacey joined the cast of the film,
with further casting news announced in June 2016, including Steve Buscemi replacing Spacey. [14] Miles
Bakshi, son of the DreamWorks Animation's producer Gina Shay and grandson of the film director Ralph
Bakshi, who directed the 1972 American adult animated comedy film Fritz the Cat, provided the voice of
7-year-old Tim. Having been often present at DreamWorks, McGrath initially asked Bakshi only to provide
a temporary voice for Tim to see if the character "worked". The producers listened to 30 to 40 children to
choose the scratch voice. McGrath explained their decision: "No one sounded as authentic as Miles did.
A lot of child actors are great, but they are over-articulate for their age. Miles was just natural and
charming. He had a little slur to his voice at the time and it was very endearing." Three years later, Miles
was told that he got the part. Bakshi was 10 when he began recording the voice.

MUSIC:

The film was scored by Hans Zimmer, who had previously collaborated with McGrath on the Madagascar
trilogy (2005–2012) and Megamind (2010), along with Steve Mazzaro, Jacob Collier, and various artists.
The film's soundtrack was released on Back Lot Music & iTunes. "Blackbird" by The Beatles is used as part
of the plot at various points throughout the film. During the end credits, Missi Hale recorded a cover of
the Burt Bacharach song "What the World Needs Now Is Love" (first performed by Jackie DeShannon).
"My House" by Flo Rida is also used in the trailer for the film.

CONCLUSION:

“The Boss Baby” sounds like a killer concept for an animated caper to attract kids young and old. The
creators of “The Boss Baby” desperately try to find hooks for all ages to enjoy, inserting the Beatles’
“Blackbird” as the song Tim’s folks use to sing him to sleep, They tease with naked bottoms, tee-hee-
inducing pixelated baby privates and a wee fart that results in an expulsion of baby powder. The script
even mentions “Baby Jesus” in one of the better jokes. Sure, drop in a power nap reference and feature a
magic formula that is an actual baby formula. But as much as we got a kick out of a gathering of chubby
Elvis’s imitators heading to Vegas that uses on-screen subtitles for the slurred Presley-ese being spoken,
it has little connection to the race-to-the-end finale.
