Celebrate National Boss’s Day With New Trailer For THE BOSS BABY

boss-baby

In celebration of National Boss’s Day, DreamWorks Animation and 20th Century Fox have released the new trailer for THE BOSS BABY.

Check out the trailer below and share with the BOSS’s in your life.

DreamWorks Animation and the director of Madagascar invite you to meet a most unusual baby. He wears a suit, speaks with the voice and wit of Alec Baldwin, and stars in the animated comedy, DreamWorks’ THE BOSS BABY.

THE BOSS BABY is a hilariously universal story about how a new baby’s arrival impacts a family, told from the point of view of a delightfully unreliable narrator, a wildly imaginative 7 year old named Tim. With a sly, heart-filled message about the importance of family, DreamWorks’ THE BOSS BABY is an authentic and broadly appealing original comedy for all ages. Also features the voices of Steve Buscemi, Jimmy Kimmel, and Lisa Kudrow.

Directed by Tom McGrath, THE BOSS BABY hits theaters everywhere on March 31, 2017.

DreamWorks’ PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR – The Review

THE PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR

DreamWorks’ PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR will leave kids in stitches… while older audience members are left bored, with few laughs.

The penguins of Madagascar are back with an all new adventure. Skipper, Kowalski, Rico and Private, along with a new group of elite operatives group called The North Wind,are on a mission,  to save the penguins of the world after the villainous Dr. Octavius Brine sets his plan of destruction into motion. A world without penguins? Oh, my!

The ‘Penguins of Madagascar’ television series seems to go over rather well, and the film does too… for children. There are funny puns that will make audiences chuckle, but for the most part I was left spiritless. Tom McGrath, Chris Miller, Conrad Vernon and Christopher Knights really do work together well, and are humorous to watch (listen to) as the penguins. It would have been very easy for the studio to bump them for A-list names, but instead they went with strong voice talent. That, in my book, is terrific. There are incredible voice actors out there that are being bumped for big-screen actors… and all they do is speak how they normally speak. The craft is lost a bit. Having said that, it was fun to hear Ken Jeongas a baby seal named Short Fuse. Of course, all of the headlines list Benedict Cumberbatch (Classified) in their headlines. He was good. He didn’t impress me as much as the voices of the penguins, or John Malkovich as Dr. Octavius Brine / Dave. He brought depth to the character. He is an actor that should play with more voice work. Just sayin’.

THE PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR

This story was dull. Not the revenge plot. This was actually funny to me. I loved seeing the penguins interact with Dr. Octavius Brine / Dave. The whole ‘North Wind’ group threw me off. They didn’t give me enough backstory or character history to remotely care about them. They did nothing to really assist the story. They felt like time fillers. On top of that, I feel like the animation of Classified was second rate compared to the penguins. Certain parts of the film felt rushed (on the visual side). If they would have just stuck to the penguins / Dr. Octavius revenge plot it would have been much more enjoyable.

Aside from a few good puns, this film was not for me. It’s not for adults. This is a children’s movie. The kids in my screening were laughing hysterically. The adults… not so much.

OVERALL RATING : 2 out of 5 stars

PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR OPENS IN THEATERS NATIONWIDE NOVEMBER 26

Skipper, Kowalski, Rico & Private Star In New THE PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR Trailer

THE PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR

Featuring the voices of Tom McGrath, Chris Miller, Christopher Knights, Benedict Cumberbatch, Ken Jeong, Annet Mahendru, Peter Stormare and John Malkovich, here’s your first look at the brand new and funny trailer for 20th Century Fox’s and DreamWorks Animation’s THE PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR.

Super spy teams aren’t born…they’re hatched. Discover the secrets of the greatest and most hilarious covert birds in the global espionage biz: Skipper, Kowalski, Rico and Private.

These elitists of the elite are joining forces with a chic undercover organization, The North Wind.

Here’s a rundown of the team:

AGENT CLASSIFIED (Voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch)

First of all, his name is actually classified, and not “Classified.”  The leader of the North Wind — a spy agency that helps animals in need – he’s a highly-trained but cocky secret agent who underestimates the Penguins’ operation.

SHORT FUSE (Voiced by Ken Jeong)

Short Fuse may look like a plush toy but he’s a force to be reckoned with. An explosives expert for North Wind, Short Fuse lives up to his name through his touchy temper, but he keeps it in check around his idol, Classified.

EVA (Voiced by Annet Mahendru)

Don’t let the seductive Russian accent fool you; Eva is far more than just a pretty face. As an intelligence analyst for North Wind, she’s a thrill-seeking, brainy beauty with a killer instinct.

CORPORAL (Voiced by Peter Stormare)

Measuring 8 feet tall and armored in 1,000 pounds of muscle, this Norwegian bear’s brawn masks a soft spot for all things cute, especially our four Penguins.

Together, they must stop the villainous Dr. Octavius Brine, voiced by John Malkovich, from destroying the world as we know it.

THE PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR

For those who may need a refresher course on the Penguins:

SKIPPER (Voiced by Tom McGrath)

The team’s fearless leader and keeper of the penguin code, Skipper demands loyalty, obedience and order from his regimented flock. Skipper asks nothing of his men that he won’t do himself.

KOWALSKI (Voiced by Chris Miller)

Kowalski is the brains of the operation. Possessing a photographic memory and a mechanical engineer’s gift for problem solving, he’s the go-to guy when the penguins need a quick, life-saving fix.

RICO

Rico lives to blow things up.  When he’s kept on a tight leash, Rico is an effective weapon but left to his own devices, he’s a loose cannon… in more ways than one.

PRIVATE (Voiced by Christopher Knights)

Though he’s the runt of the rook, Private has the biggest heart of them all.  He’s always up for new challenges, but because the group still sees Private as the “baby,” he’s often sidelined during their missions.

THE PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR hits theaters everywhere on November 26, 2014 in 3D.

Alec Baldwin And Kevin Spacey Starring In DreamWorks Animation’s BOSS BABY

DreamWorks Animation BOSS BABY

Academy Award nominee Alec Baldwin suits up to play the boss (who FYI, is a total baby) in DreamWorks Animation’s upcoming comedy feature BOSS BABY. Joined by two-time Academy Award winner Kevin Spacey who will take on the role of corporate uber-villain (and baby nemesis) Francis E. Francis, the two will duke it out for the proverbial “World’s Best Boss” mug.

Inspired by Marla Frazee’s award-winning picture book of the same name (Publishers Weekly Best Children’s Picture Book of the Year in 2010), the CG film will be released by 20th Century Fox on March 18, 2016.

The film is directed by Tom McGrath (Madagascar franchise, MEGAMIND), produced by Ramsey Naito (The Spongebob Squarepants Movie) and Denise Cascino (Mr. Peabody & Sherman, Megamind) and written by Michael McCullers (Austin Powers films).

BOSS BABY is a fantastical family comedy about the bossiest member in every family – the new guy. From the day his baby brother arrived (in a cab…wearing a suit), seven-year-old Tim knew this fast-talking briefcase-carrying baby (voiced by Baldwin) was trouble – after all, there’s only so much love to go around, right? But as Tim embarks on a mission to win back the sole affection of his parents, he stumbles upon a secret plot by the CEO of Puppy Co. (voiced by Spacey) that threatens to destroy the balance of love in the world – and this brash baby executive masquerading as his new brother is at the center of it all. Now, they must come together as true brothers to stop the dastardly scheme, save their parents, restore order to the world, and prove that love is indeed an infinite force.
