Mario, Nintendo’s iconic plumber, is on the rise after the announcement of the animated feature film developed by Illumination, the studio to which we owe the recent All in Scene 2, which will be released in 2023. The Super Mario film will benefit from ‘a big voice cast, since we’re talking here about Chris Pratt in the role of Mario, Seth Rogen in Donkey Kong, Anya Taylor-Joy in Peach or even Jack Black in Bowser. But that’s not the first time that the cult character goes through the “seventh art” box. We obviously think of the nanar with Bob Hoskins released in 1993, but not only. You may not have known it, but the most famous plumber was the subject of an animated feature film… in 1986. Mario Bros: The Great Mission to save Princess Peach tells the adventures of the little man in the red cap who will, once again, have to free Princess Peach, prisoner of Bowser – sounds familiar? A one-hour feature film, directed by Masami Hata, which remained unknown to the general public for a long time . Indeed, when it was released, the film did not cross the border of Japan. Not to mention the fact that in 1986, only the first video game was released – the second was then only available on the Archipelago. The film not having been a hit, it remained unknown for many decades. , spent the next few years painstakingly remastering the project. The result, more than five years later: a rather impressive 4K version. A unique object, accessible free of charge on the Internet. What more ?
