Illumination and Universal Pictures' highly anticipated animated film The Super Mario Bros. Movie brings an entire beloved world to the big screen in 2023. During this year's New York Comic-Con, the first teaser trailer was shared with attendees before being released online. While the animation is gorgeous, and the enormity of Super Mario Bros.'s reach looks promising, there's still something that just isn't quite reaching its full potential.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Unfortunately, in the teaser fans saw from NYCC, that may not be the case. In the two-and-a-half-minute trailer, we got some excellent performances from Jack Black as a guttural, growling Bowser, Keegan-Michael Key as a harried Toad, and even a Shakespearean Penguin King from Khary Payton. It was the titular brother, the short king himself, that fans found themselves disenchanted with.
Though we only get a very short snippet, the English trailer showcases a bit of a lackluster Mario. It gives the impression that the studios were relying on Pratt's star power coming off his leading role as Star-Lord in James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy. Unfortunately, voicing an animated character — especially one so iconic within the zeitgeist — is tricky business.
should release this one in theaters for select showings—infinitely better.
