This unusual baby knows how to talk, wears a business suit and, on instructions from the heavenly office, has to complete a secret mission, after which he promises to leave Tim’s house forever. To quickly get rid of his new brother, Tim is forced to help him.
There are numerous references to office realities and professional terms in Boss Milk-Duck, which are unlikely to be understood by children, but adults will certainly be forced to smile. However, for small viewers there are many jokes, touching and comic scenes. The result was a strange but funny symbiosis that allows people to watch this cartoon to people of all ages.
