The story is told from the perspective of 7-year-old Tim Templeton, a boy with an overactive imagination who enjoys being the center of his parents' world [1]. This idyllic life is upended when a new baby brother arrives—not in a stroller, but in a taxi, wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase [2, 5].
The film uses distinct animation styles to differentiate Tim’s imaginative daydreams from the "reality" of the story [4, 6]. Production and Reception
At its core, the movie deals with the anxiety of a first-born child feeling replaced, eventually evolving into a story about brotherhood [1].
