It is, however, easy to go on the assumption that most people won't even be aware it was a children's picture-book at Barnes & Noble that was grabbed on its easy concept and title by animation execs that needed an idea--They'll more likely look at the character and think it was DWA's cheap lame imitation of Stewie Griffin.Dacey wrote:To clarify, I'm not implying that Boss Baby is a surefire flop. The concept is fun and easy to sell, and Kevin Spacey is popular right now. We also haven't seen any footage from the film, so a bit early to call it "bad."![]()
Whether they'll be wrong is also another question.
(Which sort of emphasizes DWA's elephant in the room that that keeps trampling their other plans:
It's not that we don't like their movies for reasons of marketing, date, industry competition, changing trends, etc., saturating more than one movie a year, or whatever reason JK gives this week...It's that we don't like them PERSONALLY.
Because the studio makes itself so very, very easy to dislike, and it becomes sort of naturally and automatically instinctive for the audience after a while.)
