The Movie of Mario

This is also me rn
New clip:
I dig the musical references in this, and even the way Mario runs feels authentic to the games.
But man, they straight up stole that clear pipe gag from Futurama.

Yeah, this just looks so fun and bright.

The best clip by far, and makes me more optimistic about this movie if they can keep the focus on slapstick like that.
I figured Keegan Michael Key would slap as a voice actor but I never in a million years would have predicted him as Toad. He's perfect. I love the Captain Toadness of this main Toad, too.
Pratt is definitely going for a Lou Albano vibe, which is the correct choice, even if I'm still meh on the casting.

Any more information will ruin this headline so I'm not going to look into it.

I hope the author just woke up in a cold sweat with that headline in their brain and then spent a day desperately searching for old news stories of Chris Pratt interacting with bees to reprint.
Looks like we'll be seeing some of the more modern power-ups as well as the classic stuff:
Also, Donkey Kong sure is Seth Rogen.

And hey, the clip is already prime meme material.
That's pretty much what I expected, but I'm okay with it.
New poster.
It's kinda funny we still haven't seen any sign of Foreman Spike, but the poster features this as-yet unnamed Koopa Paratroopa as prominently as the other characters.

Dang. The only deeper cut would have been referencing the 'Mario wheeeereee aaaaarrreeee yoooouuuu??' commercial.
Might be a controversial statement but this is the best thing I've seen from the movie so far; not because its a reference (one I'm not surprised someone pitched but am surprised made it assuming its in the movie) but one that makes sense and works within context of the film universe - it feels similar to the bad Ghostbusters commercials at the beginning of the movie and I hope they use it to similar effect, with either Mario/Luigi upset they spent so much money on a bad TV spot or they absolutely love it and can't understand why they're still not getting any calls.
Also - dial the phone number if you want to hear the longest sample we've gotten of Charlie Day's Luigi yet.
EDIT: Also funny to think I usually show the Super Show opening to my Game History students and how the reaction's going to change from this point on.

Excited! This still looks like pure joy to me. Not amazing, but speaking directly to the four-year old, who had some book with puzzles or something, themed after Super Mario Bros., and fantasizing about this world. This is pretty close to what I thought it would be. Love it.
Also, I want to be able to do this in Mario Kart. Give me some platformer mode, or something.

I'm looking forward to it. I don't head to the theatre very often but I want to be the uncle of takes the kids to the movies and I'm taking my niece to this one either Easter Weekend or the weekend of my birthday (a week later).

Well there aren’t any Koopalings, but…
Gotta save something for the sequel.
Just joking, that will be Bowser Jr

I'm hoping the required Mario Kart 8 commercial is short. We already had a video game race in Wreck-It-Ralph, and the cars were made out of pastries!

This just looks FUN. I'm excited.
