Review of The Boss Baby (2017) by Jason H — 23 Apr 2017

DreamWorks' latest animated feature "The Boss Baby" could have easily been just another animated movie to pass the time, but surprisingly it had much more to it than you'd think. The film playfully puts you into the perspective of the main character Tim, as he deals with his newborn sibling literally invading his life.

There's a fantastic overall lesson that teaches younger audiences (especially those who are the eldest) of the importance of loving their younger sibling, which I haven't seen many films of this genre do.

Speaking of perspective, there are these brilliantly animated "imagination" sequences that not only entertain, but help older viewers be put into a place of childhood so you can better relate to Tim's character.

Details and concepts like that are never wasted in this film, which brought originality to an otherwise cliché storyline. Though it suffers from the usual DreamWorks problems in regards to certain jokes and scenes, it ended up not being an overall waste of time.
