THE BOSS BABY: CHRISTMAS BONUS (Internet Release USA 2022)

 Ben Meyers’ Rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì 

The Boss Baby: Christmas Bonus Special—short film with great animation and great voices—has a simple story for an adult audience and animation that suits children, It’s difficult to know who the movie was made for as each winning element seems to vie for attention to the detriment of the final outcome of the product. The film is entertaining to some extent, and one may go along until the end of the film. But, when all is said and done, one must ask: What was left out and why is there this empty feeling that nothing truly of value was left for the audience’s dollar and time investment?

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe? 

Maybe. It’s a shorter animation movie that will suit children’s shorter attention spans, but they may not really understand the storyline because it works on the more adult theme of business and finance.
