Nevertheless, although this may be true, soon, Tim and the new Boss in a diaper will need to put differences aside and join forces, as a sneaky scheme involving the head of Puppy Co. threatens to tilt the balance of power towards their insidiously adorable furry antagonists, not to mention that the next Pet Convention is in only two days..

Well, that didn't end well.

What?

What the...?

Thanks for dropping in, kids.

Francis Francis?

I see you've met my big brother, Eugene.

A man of few words.

None, in fact.

Can you put your head back on, please?

What is all this?

Surprise!

A Baby Corp binky? Where did you get that?

You don't recognize me?

Perhaps from my youth!

Super Colossal Big Fat Boss Baby?

He is him? And him is you?

Except older and wrinklier.

That's not right.

No. You were my hero!

How did you end up here?

You know what I do to little kids

who ask lots of questions about me?

Eugene!

I read them my story.

And, I baked cookies!

Eugene, my chair.

Now, it all started at Baby Corp...

a long, long time ago.

I was a hotshot executive...

headed straight to the top.

Everyone loved me.

They gave me a promotion,

the corner office...

my very own...

Personal potty?

I had it all.

But then one day...

I made a terrible discovery.

I was getting old.

The formula wasn't working anymore.

It turns out I was lactose intolerant.

- No!

- Yes!

I got called in

to see the board of directors.

Who are the boring directors?

The biggest baby bosses of them all.

I thought they loved me.

But they replaced me with someone new.

Someone younger.

That's horrible.

All of a sudden, she got all the love...

all the attention.

You know how that feels, don't you, Tim?

It hurts, doesn't it?

Yeah. It does.

And then what happened?

Well...

They fired me!

And took away my special formula.

Then they sent me down to live with a...

- family!

- Oh, Francis, no!

Baby Corp betrayed me!

And I'm finally going to get revenge...

with the Forever Puppy.

- Huh?

- That's it?

No, no.

Imagine a puppy that never grows up.

A puppy that stays a puppy forever.

Once I launch my Forever Puppies

to every corner of the world...

they'll be so adorable...

How cute!

...no one will ever want a baby

ever, ever again.

The end of Baby Corp!

Please.

A puppy that never grows up?

That's impossible!

Isn't it?

It was, until you brought me

the key ingredient.

My secret formula.

It's mine! It's mine!

It's all mine.

No!

You brought me the very thing I needed

to destroy Baby Corp.

- No!

- Yes!

You walked right into my trap!

- You'll never get away with this!

- Yeah, not if we...

What? Tell?

Who are you gonna tell, Tim? Your parents?

Where are the boys?

I told them to stay in the Puppy Zone.

I'm taking them both with me to Las Vegas.

So stay out of my way.

I'd hate for them to get terminated.

They'd never leave us alone.

Oh, really?

Wait until they meet Puppy Co's certified...

in-house childcare expert.

Oh, no.

- Don't be nervous, buddy.

- It's only overnight.

We'll be back before you know it.

Besides, you boys are in great hands.

That's right!

Eugenia is practically perfect in every way.

No.

Please don't go with him.

Francis Francis is trying to...

Believe me...

Eugenia won't take her eyes

off your children.

Not for one second.

That's very reassuring.

Now you see them.

And now, you don't.

Too-da-loo!

To the airport!

It's over. I'm through.

What do we do, Templeton?

What do we do?

We have to get to the airport

and stop Francis Francis...

before the plane takes off!

Yes! But how do we get past

Scary Poppins down there?

Okay. There must be something we can do.

Hey, it's not that bad.

Are you okay?

What's the matter with you?

Don't look at me!

Oh, no!

Without that formula,

I turn into a normal baby.

You know, goo-goo, Ga-ga. The whole bit!

Oh, no!

Gross!

I'm a ticking baby time bomb!

I'm going to turn into a puking,

pooping, helpless baby!

Wait a second. That gives me an idea.

What? What is it?

I've been through a lot of babysitters...

and they all fear one thing.

Now, ladies,

the secret to deep fried butter...

is a healthy dab of margarine.

Hey, Mr. Lady Man!

The baby. I think he's sick!

You gotta do something!

Oh, the horror!

- Templeton!

- Delicious!

Gross! It got in your mouth!

It got in my mouth, too!

I think I'm gonna be sick!

Swirly!

There's only an hour

before the plane takes off.

Let's take the bike.

The bike?

I don't know.

Let's move!

- Okay, but wait right here!

- What?

Where are you going? Templeton!

Always wear a helmet.

Too-da-loo, toilet head!

You'll never catch us!

Staci!

Staci, come in!

Oh, Staci!

- Is that you, boss?

- Code red!

I'm being chased by a killer babysitter!

Gather the team!

On it, boss.

- Hello!

- Hello!

- Hello!

- Code red.

Got it!

We got a code red. Repeat...

We got a code red!

What are you doing, Templeton? Go, go!

But that's jaywalking!

Here, I'll pay your ticket.

Go!

I think we lost him!

Oh, no, we didn't!

Flower power!

Pow, pow, pow!

That's my boy!

Poppy!

Run, run, run.

Uh-oh.

Run, run, run.

Tim, you've gotta go faster!

I can't do it!

You can.

You've got it in you, Templeton.

Now, eyes ahead.

I said eyes ahead, son!

Buttocks up! Now pedal like you mean it!

Either you run the day, or the day runs you.

Good!

Uh-oh!

My training wheels!

I can't ride without training wheels!

Whether you think you can

or you think you can't, you're right!

What are you talking about?

The path to success

is not a straight line, Templeton...

but rather a wild ride...

like a ship at sea.

And you're a sea captain...

taming a turbulent ocean!

I'm a sea captain, taming the ocean!

Good!

Tree! I'm gonna hit it!

Aim for failure, and you'll always succeed.

- What?

- Aim away from failure!

I'm doing it. I'm doing it!

Once success is a habit...

then it's all downhill.

Look!

There they are! Mom, Dad!

- Train!

- Choo-choo!

Stop!

What are you doing?

- We're gonna make it.

- But I don't have a quote for this!

You did it!

No! We did it.

And all without your training wheels.

Coming through!

Baby on board!

Hang on to your diaper!

Duck and cover!

Hold it, buddy!

I'm gonna need a strip search on two.

There they are! Mom, Dad!

Hey, not so fast!

Oh, no.

Templeton!

- Hey!

- Sorry!

Hey, where'd you go?

Oh, no!

Not again!

Not now!

What the...?

No, no, no!

Come on!

I think I ate $1.75.

Excuse me, coming through! Mom, Dad!

Hurry now! Move!

We don't wanna miss our flight!

- No!

- I warned you!

Wait!

- No!

- No.

Mom, Dad! Stop!

No!

No, no, no.

They're gone.

I failed.

I would've gotten to my parents

if I didn't have to go back for you!

What? We would have been here

in plenty of time...

if you knew how to ride a bike

like a normal kid!

We're never going to stop the launch on time.

Who cares? My parents are in danger.

I care! Baby Corp is going to go

out of business.

That's all you ever talk about.
