It was one of those things where it was, like, 'Will he do it?' The other great thing," McGrath points out, "is that when Alec did 'Boss Baby', he had one child. "For the first one, as a test, we took the animation of Boss Baby and set it to a line from '30 Rock', and everyone who saw it thought just laughed at the idea, and that just proved the concept.
"The thing about Alec is not only is he a great actor, he's just funny, and just how he'd improvise is hilarious."
"What I remember loving about 'Boss Baby' was that he was so bossy!", laughs McGrath, explaining that 'Boss Baby 2' is more of a 'Battle of the Bosses', explaining that Baldwin's character is more of the 'Mad Men' era, while Sedaris' character is closer to the millennial generation. Although it's based on Marla Frazee's book of the same name, 'Boss Baby' and its sequel, 'Boss Baby: Family Business' has a lot of slapstick influences. When we talked to director Tom McGrath - who also happens to be the voice of Skipper the Penguin from 'Madagascar' - last week, this was also his thinking in what made 'Boss Baby' so funny. You've got to love the thinking behind 'Boss Baby', primarily because there's something just so strange and deeply funny about a tiny infant who sounds like Alec Baldwin, wears a Rolex, and pays off other babies when he's bored.
