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.”
Having been born the first of four boys and having four children of my
own, I know a thing or two about what happens when a new baby arrives in
a household and steals the spotlight from you. That’s why I couldn’t
resist voicing the part of Boss Baby. What is truly remarkable about
this movie is how it captures the reality of what it’s like to deal with
a new sibling ina family, all the while providing a barrage of
whimsical humor, imagination and pure heart,” 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
1940s, ‘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” opens April 15 in cinemas from 20th Century Fox to be distributed by Warner Bros.
