I had some issues with it story/characterwise but overall enjoyed it because i just really loved seeing my culture on screen to beautiful animation. the king and the mockingbird is pretty great too. still plan to see others i missed/not 2017 exclusives like "la reine soleil" which i FINALLY found on vimeo with english subtitles :)

Haven't seen any of them.

this was actually a good movie, fight me

^intrigued. I watched it in theaters with my adult money and enjoyed it and would like to hear an opinion other than the destroyer of modern animation (obviously false since the animation was amazing)

I actually loved this movie. It was a bit cheesy, but a good kind of cheesy. It was such a cute movie overall!

@lana seriously!! i'm not a huge fan of cgi but i love what boss baby does with it, especially wrt to character design and the imagination sequences. so well done, more stylized and less generic looking - i didn't get the impression i normally do that i was watching toys act this stuff out.

the premise is weird, sure, but it's pretty easy to suspend disbelief considering it's all happening within the context of some kid's overactive imagination. and that's actually a totally reasonable reaction to getting a new sibling. it's probably a lot less weird to a 6 year old boy than hearing about where babies really come from lol

i think people just don't know how to swallow animated humor outside the disney/pixar paradigm imo, and just kneejerk hate when dreamworks tries it. 20 years ago people were brutal about el dorado and sinbad, and now everyone's all "those were masterpieces" and "why doesn't dreamworks do movies like that anymore?" and i bet 20 years from now it's going to be the same thing with this movie.

@unholynoise I hope so! a lot of people are complaining about the "kid era" going on at dreamworks rn but i'm still enjoying myself? (i actually paid the adult money of my work to enjoy HOME, Trolls, and da Boss Baby in theaters....though me being a dreamworks kid has something to do with it :P) and if nothing else there's this experimentation they have going on with textures and artstyles and the tempo of the animation fluidity and the colors!!! i thought people were going gaga over colors? i mean that's why they're supposedly mad at modern "dark" movies and praised the heck out of other animated movies/regular movies.

(also the "why doesn't dreamworks do movies like this anymore?" makes me want to scream. you/audiences letting them flop because you were too good for animated movies who weren't disney/pixar are the reason they don't do it anymore)

if nothing else i feel like these "kid era" movies are enjoyable enough for a rewatch for the animation at least and some light humor and heart.

^^ I don't necessary think "why doesn't dreamworks do movies like that anymore?" necessairly contradicts with previous criticizism of Sinbad and El Dorado or show any inconsistency. For example, I'd LOVE to see Dreamworks movies, visually(!) similiar to Sinbad and El Dorado because these two movies are in my opinion visually(!) perfect and MUCH more beautiful than most of 2010s animated movies. But at the same time I think that Sinbad and El Dorado are very flawed and problematic and far from best 2000s animated movies. I'd love to see more eleganly 2D Dreamworks movies with pseudohystorical settings but without Tulios and Chels.
Of course, some may change their minds but I believe Sinbad and El Dorado are BOTH visually gorgeous yet flawed in other aspects movies.
