The Boss Baby

Movie · 2017

A fast-paced animated comedy about a 7-year-old boy navigating sibling jealousy when a suit-wearing, briefcase-toting baby arrives and turns out to be a secret corporate agent. The humor leans heavily on slapstick and potty jokes, with some imaginative peril sequences that may startle very young viewers.

Great for kids around 5 and up who enjoy silly animated adventure; sensitive children under 5 may need a preview first.
