Pixar: "What if... we show the emotions in a young girl's head, which have their own emotions and we can use that to create a story about the human condition and how the mind works and how we change as we grow and break the stereotypes of what depression is, and how sadness should not be seen as bad thing and shunned, but healthy and just as important as happiness as it helps us to grow and develop into better people."

Dreamworks: "What if... A baby in a suit voiced by Alec Baldwin!"

[kameronbiggs]

Poor Dreamworks. It's sad to see a great studio that rivals Disney be reduced to lackluster films like. It makes me miss Rugrats for how sophisticated and high brow it was, compared to this.

Here's hope Captain Underpants is a return to form for Dreamworks. Judging from the trailer it has some great potential.

[jojothebard]

So Ghost in the Shell and the Beauty and the Beast was dethroned by a film about a baby voiced by Alec Baldwin?


What world do we live in for this to happen?

[chaseosborn]

You're right AniMat, Boss Baby is definitely not the worst animated movie of the year. That title goes to The Emoji Movie and it hasn't even come out yet.

[bellem.e.]

The thing with the villan, if he makes puppies that will replace babies, those babies would never grow up into adults, therefore ending humanity as we know it. Clever, Dreamworks.

Sigh... Remember Prince of Egypt, Spirit, El Dorado, all the Shrek films, Madagascar, Monsters vs Aliens, Kung Fu Panda (and it's sequels), Dragons and DRAGONS II, Rise of the Guardians, all those excellent films rather they be serious adventures or good comedies.... yeah, how on earth did DreamWorks trip over and fall on their face with something the likes of this!? ... And to add, canceling actual good-sounding ideas. Even when they have films like Shark tale, Bee Movie, and Turbo, those are at least entertaining and creative, or at least funny and have a purpose. Maybe I should watch this before making a judgment... but life is too short to have low-quality food once in a while. Hopefully this drop will send DreamWorks into a much BETTER Renaissance -like period in the future!

To perfectly describe Tim and The Boss Baby's chemistry in The Boss Baby, it's basically Max and Duke's chemistry in The Secret Life of Pets done wrong. Plus Tim is the epitome of a Woody (Toy Story) rip-off

[brittanydavisghiblieaglesfan]

The first DreamWorks animated film to get the AniMat's Seal of Garbage. Alec Baldwin is the only reason I want to see this movie.

[Rpartin]

The writing can't be as bad as Shark Tale, can it?

[chrsmueller]

Actually, the baby does have a name. It's Theodore Lindsay. They name him that at the end.

[jetfan]

Ladies and gentlemen, I presented to you, the Academy Award nominated flick, The Boss Baby

[Wikkler]

Oh boy, this, Home, Trolls, and Turbo means DreamWorks is falling into the safe, generic kids film schlock instead of at least being creative.

[MTTT]

I still can't look at this Movie without thinking of the Family Guy gag, "Prom Night Dumpster Baby!"

10/10: Amazing
9/10: Great
8/10: Good
7/10: Okay
6/10: Meh
5/10: Mediocre
4/10: Bad
3/10: Awful
2/10: Abysmal
1/10: Shameful

[BenMeyer]

Am I the only one who thought it was just ok? I mean, yes it is dumb and childish, but dang it, the ending almost made me cry.

[alanoliva]

To me I prefer Alec Baldwin as a barracuda in the SpongeBob movie.

[OmnicidalClown]

You know, the very moment I saw the poster to this movie at my local theater, I immediately thought to myself, DreamWorks has given up.

And it looks like I'm right.

[PenGelatinandDonutFan]

Let me take a guess what the out of 30 system leads to out of 10 system:

3-4: 1/10 (Worst)
5-7: 2/10 (Abysmal)
8-10: 3/10 (Awful)
11-13: 4/10 (Bad)
14-16: 5/10 (Mediocre)
17-19: 6/10 (Average)
20-22: 7/10 (Good)
23-25: 8/10 (Great)
26-28: 9/10 (Amazing)
29-30: 10/10 (Best)

I didn't include 0/10 because Animat never uses the 0 rating for some reason.

Finally saw this movie today. And honestly, I didn’t like it but I found the animation beautiful and creative especially Tim’s fantasies. But the story was dull and predictable and the humor was not there. Definitely did NOT deserve an Academy Award nomination.
