“Mushroom Kingdom, here we come!!” Universal and Illumination Animation have revealed the first look teaser trailer for the new animated Super Mario Bros. Movie, arriving in theaters worldwide next April. They’re finally bringing Mario back to the big screen after many other strange attempts in the past!! This new one is produced by Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto, along with Illumination’s CEO Chris Meledandri. There’s not much revealed about the plot yet, but obviously it involves Mario having to stop Bower and his domination of the entire Kingdom. The film features the voices of Chris Pratt as Mario, Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Charlie Day as Luigi, Jack Black as Bowser (of course), Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong, Fred Armisen as Cranky Kong, Kevin Michael Richardson as Kamek, and Sebastian Maniscalco as Spike. This is an enjoyable first look!! I definitely want to see more footage, but so far so good. Pratt’s Mario voice is a bit odd but it doesn’t bother me yet. What do you think?

Here’s the first teaser trailer (+ poster) for Illumination’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie, from YouTube:
