Now there’s a Christmas special, The Boss Baby: Christmas Bonus, a sweet 45-minute feature about the Boss Baby’s misguided attempt to boost efficiencies at Santa’s Workshop.
When the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown meant everyone was stuck at home in 2020, my family went on to watch all the Boss Baby content that followed: four seasons of the Netflix series The Boss Baby: Back in Business, the 2021 sequel The Boss Baby 2: Family Business, and the 2022 Netflix series The Boss Baby: Back in the Crib. Boss Baby portrayed a farcical, dystopian version of many things we think about. I appreciated that the parents were well-meaning but laughably clueless, dorky adults - as so much of parenting feels. I had been a business reporter for a good portion of my career, and I cackled at the idea of a baby angling to be CEO of a corporation hellbent on reclaiming babies’ market share of adult love from puppies. Implausibly, half a decade, a sequel film, and a few seasons of a Netflix series later, I still do. My colleague Scaachi Koul had given it a strong endorsement, Alec Baldwin was on a hot streak playing Donald Trump on SNL, and I was a new parent, so I figured, why not? My son, still a toddler, enjoyed it, but to be honest, I was the one who loved it. I first watched The Boss Baby after it left theaters and became available to stream years ago.
