    With every reveal and interview, the more excited I get about this movie. Was VERY apprehensive at first that Illumination was chosen but I also knew that Nintendo wouldn't allow their most valuable IP to be tarnished with a below-average movie. Not to mention, going with a smaller newer studio (and not Disney, Dreamworks or Pixar) avoids the issue of Nintendo having to put with extensive executive meddling - the bigger the studio, the more heads you answer to. Looking forward to this adventure!

    The amount of Mario stuffs that the Illumination team had gave us in the Mario movie is really great. The human characters were stylized just as it should : Mario-esque artstyle, no off-putting/clashing artstyle like the random Odyssey human NPCs. The world-building was also great since a lot of Mario IPs were culminated into one world, and they also included Brooklyn for Mario's homeworld. I think this easily belongs to Top 10 animated movies of 2023.

It's purely made for people who love Mario, which just happens to be almost everyone in this world! This is why this new Mario movie is such a huge success! It gives the fans what they want! Very beautifully animated, very funny, very cute, and most of all, very action packed! I hope there would be a sequel and I also hope this Mario movie would encourage more Nintendo games like Zelda and Metroid to be turned into movies as well! Let this be a lesson to all future movie makers. Focus on what the fans want and you'll succeed!
