Theodore Lindsey "Ted" Templeton Jr. (also known as The Boss Baby and BB) is the titular main protagonist of the DreamWorks franchise of the same name, serving as the titular deuteragonist of The Boss Baby and The Boss Baby: Back in the Crib, and the titular main protagonist of The Boss Baby: Back in Business and The Boss Baby: Family Business. He is the second born son of Janice and Ted Templeton Sr. The younger brother of Timothy Leslie Templeton the paternal uncle of Tabitha and Tina Templeton and the brother-in-law of Carol Templeton

Theodore debuted in The Boss Baby. He is voiced by Alec Baldwin in The Boss Baby and Family Business, and JP Karliak in Back in Business and Back in the Crib.

Appearance[]

Theodore is a blonde, green-eyed baby. He always wears a full suit (and cries if put in anything else) or just his diaper.

As a teenager, he had a mullet. As an adult, he still wears formalwear such as suits.

Personality[]

As long as he drinks Baby Corp Formula, Theodore remains sentient and does not physically age.

Theodore only cares about himself at first, but he cares about others as well, especially his older brother Tim.

In Back in Business, he fights for Baby Corp, his family and friends. He also establishes that everything he does at work is to promote baby love.

In Family Business, as an adult, he is now the boss of an unnamed corporation. He becomes successful and rich, he's also quite resentful with Tina for writing up him and Tim together to stop Armstrong, but reluctantly agrees. In the end, the brothers finally reconciled.

In Back in the Crib, Theodore clashes with Tina about work-life balance. Also, despite his hyper-capitalistic attitude, he doesn't like the trickle-down economics of the 5 Percenter System, and believes that bringing baby love to all babies would be more productive.

Relationships[]

Timothy Leslie Templeton[]

Timothy Leslie Templeton is Theodore‘s older brother. They didn’t get along in the beginning due to Tim originally not wanting a little brother however, in the end they worked it out and became brothers. They fight and argue occasionally like all siblings but they care deeply for each other and will do anything they can for each other. Tim was the first to find out Theodore’s secret and never told anyone except his wife Carol and daughter Tabitha.

In The Boss Baby, Tim and Theodore hated each other on sight. Theodore saw Tim as a pawn in his mission and Tim saw Theodore as stealing his parent's love and affection. They fight until they realize that working together on Theodore's mission will get him out of Tim's hair. However, as the movie ends, Tim and Theodore realize that they love each other and want to be brothers, and Tim promises to always be there for Theodore.

In Back in Business, Tim and Theodore have a normal sibling relationship. They bicker and fight over sharing a room, over Theodore's habit of prioritizing work, and countless other conflicts. They also bond over doing mission work together, have each other back's, and hang out just because they can.

Between Back in Business and Family Business, Tim and Theodore grew up. At first, they were very close. Their parents called Theodore "Tag-Along Teddy", with how close the two boys were: where one was, the other wanted to be. Unfortunately, they drifted apart. Tim missed Theodore's law and business school graduations and Theodore missed Tim's wedding to Carol. By the time Back in Business starts, the two brothers rarely see each other at all. When invited to Tim's family events, Theodore doesn't arrive, and instead sends lavish gifts such as the pony Precious. However, Theodore still cares, as shown when he drops all of his meetings to check in when he hears Tabitha fell off the pony. Through the movie, the brothers learn to be close again.

In Back in the Crib, Theodore goes to Tim for help, as Theodore had turned into a baby to hide from the FBI. Tim agrees to let Theodore stay with his family, as long as Theodore behaves

To be added

Tina[]

Tina, Theodore's younger niece, idolized him in the time before Family Business. His time at Baby Corp was commemorated with a large, golden statue and everyone

In Back in the Crib, Theodore and Tina team up as co-leads to the field team. They often disagree on how to do their jobs, with Theodore putting business before everything else and Tina supporting a healthy work-life balance.

Tabatha[]

Despite rarely seeing each other (with quality time replaced by Theodore sending lavish gifts to his niece), Tabatha and Theodore care for each other deeply. In Family Business, when he hears that Tabatha fell off her horse Precious, Theodore dropped all of his meetings to check in on her. She greeted him with a kiss on the cheek, which she had previously told Tim was too childish for her. Theodore's story of The Boss Baby is also a bedtime story that Tim often tells Tabitha.

Carol[]

In Family Business, Carol wants Theodore and Tim to get along, and is glad to hear that the boys are bonding throughout their "trip".

In Back in the Crib, Carol lets Theodore live in the Templeton household, but routinely threatens to kick him out when he misbehaves.

Gigi[]

In season 2 of Back in Business, Gigi decides on meeting Theodore that he is too bossy for his own good, merely because he wears a suit. Gigi has always been anti-capitalist, which stands against everything Theodore believes in. She constantly praises Tim and complains about Theodore, which causes a rift in the family.

Francis Francis[]

Francis is the major antagonist in The Boss Baby. When he was a baby, he served as Super Colossal Big Fat Boss Baby at Baby Corp, and Theodore idolized him. However, (unknown to Theodore,) Francis grew lactose intolerant and could no longer stomach Baby Corp's formula, so he bitterly grew up as a mortal baby. As revenge for doing him wrong, Francis started Puppy Co, which is the company that Theodore's parents work for and the reason he was placed with them. Theodore and Tim take down Francis in The Boss Baby. As an antagonist, Francis pushes Theodore to develop as a character by showing what Theodore would be like if he continued to prioritize work over family.

Dr. Erwin Armstrong[]

Dr. Armstrong is the major antagonist in Family Business. Although he takes Theodore under his wing as a "purple acorn" and reveals his plans to Theodore, Dr. Armstrong didn't trust Theodore from the start. Dr. Armstrong, like Francis Francis, shows Theodore the importance of family by serving as a warning of what too much isolation and business-oriented thinking can do to a person.

Triplets[]

The t.riplets are sometimes on Theodore's field team. In The Boss Baby, they were simply yes-men, which frustrated Theodore to no end. In Back in Business, they have odd jobs that are sometimes useful, sometimes useless. In Family Business, they have grown up to be policemen who chase Theodore in the chase scene.

Marisol[]

Marisol is the Templeton's' usual babysitter in Back to Business (and Get that Baby!). At first, Theodore hated her presence because he felt out of control, but he grew to tolerate her sitting. He greatly appreciates her business attitude. In S2E7, Tim claims that Theodore fell in love with Marisol, but it's not actually confirmed.
