The Boss Baby is a 2017 American computer-animated comedy film that follows the adventure of a unimaginable baby that pairs up with his 7-year old brother to stop evil plots of the CEO of Puppy Co.
It's the rare cartoon that actually feels like a cartoon, propelled by its goofiness and sheer energy and rarely bogged down by boring, polemical lesson-learning.
The Boss Baby is a funny, clever take on sibling rivalry that should appeal both to children -- especially those who, we can be thankful, are removed from politics -- and their parents.
The animation and sound effects are so superbly rendered -- the fantasy sequences have an entirely different and nifty flavor -- that a drop of drool or a puff of baby powder seems to have real texture and feeling.
The smartly written The Boss Baby lightly takes on commercialism while delivering a variety of witty gags that sound charmingly smug coming from Alec Baldwin's mouth.
Despite the fact that it's heading towards a conciliatory end, the way in which it measures and calculates its steps to it, is a pleasant surprise. [Full review in Spanish]
