Baby (whose actual name we don't hear until late in the movie) demands Tim's help, promising that once his job there is done, he'll leave Tim's house for good. Tim thinks that baby is up to something, and Tim is absolutely right! He catches his baby brother talking – talking in complete sentences – on a (toy) telephone! Tim confronts the baby and the baby answers him! This Boss Baby (voiced by Alec Baldwin) tells Tim that he's on an undercover mission for Baby Corp., the company which produces and distributes babies all over the world. Tim thinks the little tyke isn't who he seems to be. That baby doesn't seem to be acting like a regular baby. But not only does Tim resent the new baby, he becomes suspicious of him. For example, his former bedtime ritual of both of his parents coming to his room to read him stories, sing him a special song and hug and kiss him goodnight turns into both of them running up and down the hall towards the baby's room and then passing out from exhaustion on the livingroom couch. But that all changes when his parents (Jimmy Kimmel and Lisa Kudrow) step out of a taxi cab, enter the family home, and introduce Tim to his brand new baby brother. He's happy with the way everything in his life is.
He has an active imagination, he loves to play with his parents and he's happy. Tim (voiced by Miles Bakshi) is a typical 7-year-old. It's that phenomenon, which parents with more than one child know so well, that formed the basis for a 2010 children's book by American author/illustrator Marla Frazee, and the animated feature film that the book inspired, 2017's "The Boss Baby" (PG, 1:37). When the new baby suddenly seems to be getting all the attention and when his or her every cry is answered immediately and every whim is catered to, that baby can seem to be the boss. To that firstborn, it can suddenly seem like absolutely everything has changed and that the new arrival is now more important than anything or anyone else. Having a second child in the home is tough to get used to – especially for the first child. He was uncharacteristically restless, up and down all night, while his sister seemed perfectly content (for that first night anyway). That first night, she slept like well, like a baby.
I learned something important about children right after my newborn baby girl came home from the hospital.
