Thing promised, thing due. During its last Nintendo Direct, the Japanese firm unveiled the first trailer for Super Mario Bros., an animated film adapted from its cult mascot in the history of video games. The opportunity to discover the work of Illumination Entertainment, the French production company notably behind Moi, ugly and mean and its sequels. it must be recognized that our national studio is doing feats with fluid, ultra-colorful animation that is rather faithful to the world of video games, which is particularly felt through an impressive Bowser and a very cute Toad (even if we are less of a fan Mario’s look). As a reminder, the film offers a large cast, led by the respective voices of Chris Pratt and Jack Black in the roles of the plumber and his lifelong nemesis. We will also find Anya Taylor-Joy (Princess Peach), Seth Rogen (Donkey Kong), Keegan-Michael Key (Toad), Charlie Day (Luigi) or even Fred Armisen (Cranky Kong). On social networks, many Internet users, including in the United States and abroad, prefer the French voice of Mario to that of Chris Pratt, closer to the original character. We can thank voice actor Pierre Tessier for that. Finally, the movie Super Mario Bros. would already be controversial among fans because of the buttocks of our plumber, considered too small according to part of the community. As a reminder, the animated feature film will be released on March 29, 2023 in our dark rooms.
