The Boss Baby is scheduled to be released on March 31, 2017 by 20th Century Fox.
A man named Tim Templeton (Tobey Maguire) narrates and describes his seven-year-old self (Miles Bakshi) as being jealous of his fast-talking, briefcase-carrying baby brother named the "Boss Baby" (Alec Baldwin). When he goes on a mission to win back the affection of his parents (Jimmy Kimmel and Lisa Kudrow), he finds out about a secret plot by Puppy Co.'s CEO Francis E. Francis (Steve Buscemi) which revolves around his baby brother and threatens to destabilize the balance of love in the world. Both brothers must unite to save their parents and restore order to the world and prove that love is indeed an infinite force.
