            Here’s an interesting concept: Alec Baldwin playing a baby. Well, yes it wouldn’t work for live-action but that’s the reality we face in the first trailer for DreamWorks animated movie, The Boss Baby. Baldwin is familiar with playing businessmen before after his movie-stealing role in Glengarry Glen Ross as well as his current portrayal of business mogul and Republican nominee for the Presidential Election, Donald Trump on Saturday Night Live. It’s this movie however where the businessman happens to be an infant.

            The movie follows a seven-year-old whose world turns upside down when a new baby is welcomed into the family and of course, after further discovery, chaos ensues. He finds out that not only can the baby talk, but he’s also a businessman who’s on a mission of some kind. The trailer is cute and actually pretty funny.

            In addition to Baldwin, the film also features the voices of Miles Bahski, Jimmy Kimmel, Lisa Kudrow, Tobey Maguire and Steve Buscemi. It’s also directed with a DreamWorks mainstay, Tom McGrath (Megamind, Madagascar). The Boss Baby opens everywhere on March 31^st, 2017. Check out the trailer below!
