Production [edit]

Upon reading the original book on which the flick is based McGrath felt a connexion to it, every bit he had an older brother and felt like "the boss baby of the family".[11] In keeping with that theme he stated, in an interview with Den of Geek, that "My personal goal with this was to watch this movie with my brother, and to run into how information technology afflicted him!", which resulted in McGrath's brother being moved to tears by the completed film.[12]

The producers listened to 30 to 40 children to choose the scratch voice. McGrath explained their decision: "No one sounded every bit authentic as Miles did. A lot of child actors are great, but they are over-clear for their age. Miles was just natural and charming. He had a little slur to his phonation at the fourth dimension and it was very endearing." Three years later, Miles was told that he got the part.[fifteen] Bakshi was 10 when he began recording the voice. During the long process, his vocalisation started to change and "by the end information technology got pretty tough", according to Bakshi, who was 14 when the flick was released. He had to get his vox "very soft, but when I got that perfect tone it was great."
