The sequel to 2017’s The Boss Baby follows in the profoundly unimaginative footsteps of such classics as Look Who’s Talking Too, Problem Child 2, Smurfette, and Lola Bunny by introducing a female version of our beloved protagonist. It’s the 21st century, baby!! She’s the girlboss, baby!!!
The Boss Baby: Family Business
Amy Sedaris joins Alec Baldwin as a cute, animated lil capitalist in The Boss Baby: Family Business. The first movie had a bizarrely complex plot and byzantine world-building, so adding Jerri Blank‘s vocals into the mix should just make things 200% more chaotic.
Despite these being dark, very adult times for Alec Baldwin, he’s back here as hedge fund CEO Ted, turned back into an adorable baby along with older brother Tim (James Marsden) by cutting-edge boss baby Tina (Sedaris).
The trailer below doesn’t dwell too much on the labyrinthine world of baby vs. puppy corporate espionage and the intricacies of boss babydom, instead giving the people what they want: cute animated babies dancing like the funniest 2000s ringtone video you’ve ever seen.
The board of baby bosses would be pleased to hear just how beloved their highly marketable visages have grown to be. This year’s public display of IP worship at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade included a gargantuan Boss Baby balloon, who enjoyed reverent chanting from the New York crowd. “BOSS! BAY! BEE! BOSS! BAY! BEE!”, they cried below, his rakish Dreamworks Eyebrow casting eternal salvation down from the heavens.

Take your whole family business along to The Boss Baby 2, but don’t come crying to us when they then pull some Succession shit and cut you out of any productive new mergers.
