This short follows the "Boss Baby" as he tries to fend off three villains set out to get rid of him one way or the other. This is one of Netflix Interactive programs where, much like those "Choose Your Own Adventure" series, you choose which paths to follow until the ending.
I'm kinda just putting this in here for fun, but I did give this a try the other day at the request of my youngest. This is my first proper experience with the "Boss Baby" franchise, other than a few glances here and there when my kids have been watching the series or the film.
Truth is that I just don't get the appeal, either for adults or kids. Seems like the "adult baby in a corporate-like world" angle is more geared towards adults and would be lost on a kid, while the opposite would happen with the more juvenile angles of the babies physical comedy. Even my kids aren't that much into the whole franchise, as it's not one of their regular picks (right now, they're on a DuckTales or T-Rex Ranch phase).
I used to be a fan of those "Choose Your Own Adventure" series, so I've always kinda liked the interactive aspect of these shorts, and so does my kids (they really love one that Bear Grylls does, You vs. Wild, and see it often). But still, my youngest one didn't seem to be that invested into this one (we only did two runs of it), and neither did I.
