An Animated Super Mario Movie Is On The Way, From The People Who Brought You Minions

      

If you were a child of the ‘80s, chances are you’ll remember the 1993 live-action movie that starred Bob Hoskins as a weirdly cockney-sounding Mario. Quite frankly, it was terrible. However, Nintendo has seemingly learned its lesson, with the videogame giant set to team up with Illumination Entertainment, the studio behind the Despicable Me franchise.

Nintendo big dog Shigeru Miyamoto will be on co-producer duties, so hopefully the new film will be much closer in tone to the videogame series.
