What happens

The Boss Baby: Family Business (known in some territories as The Boss Baby 2) is a 2021 American animated comedy film produced by DreamWorks Animation. Loosely based on the picture books The Boss Baby and The Bossier Baby by Marla Frazee, it is the second installment in The Boss Baby franchise, and the sequel to The Boss Baby (2017). The film was directed by Tom McGrath and written by Michael McCullers. It stars the voices of Amy Sedaris, Ariana Greenblatt, Jeff Goldblum, and Eva Longoria, with Alec Baldwin, Jimmy Kimmel, and Lisa Kudrow reprising their roles from the first film and James Marsden replacing Tobey Maguire. The film follows the now-adult Templeton brothers as they are brought back together after Tim's daughter Tina requests their help for Baby Corp to stop a professor from erasing childhoods worldwide. Plans for a Boss Baby sequel were announced in May 2017 with McGrath returning to direct. Animation began at DWA Glendale, and some production assets were borrowed from Jellyfish Pictures, with voice acting being done remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The film was theatrically released in the United States on July 2, 2021, by Universal Pictures, and was also available on paid tiers of Peacock for 60 days. The film received more negative reviews from critics than the first installment but the audience were more acclaming. The film also grossed $146 million against an $82 million budget.
