The appointment was certainly late, but for nothing in the world we would have missed the broadcast of the very first trailer for Super Mario Bros. The Movie, scheduled during this special and ultimately quite short Nintendo Direct. Shigeru Miyamoto was present to introduce us to these first images, but also to reassure players that Nintendo has been watching over the grain and following the project for many years, from its conception until its release on March 29, 2023 at the cinema in Spain. (April 7 in the United States). The creator of Mario was accompanied by Chris Meledandri, producer at Illumination, who did not hesitate to display his pride in having worked on this film for so many years and to present the result to us. And it must be said that the visual rendering is breathtaking, with very neat animations, not to mention that the humor will also be present. The introduction of Bowser facing the penguin people at the start of the trailer also sets the tone and promises beautiful sequences. If Bowser is played by Jack Black who lends him his voice, slightly modified elsewhere, Mario is interpreted by Chris Pratt, who did not need to play with the vocal cords to give life to our Italian plumber. It's a bit confusing at first, but you should get used to it pretty quickly. It is also an opportunity to see that Mario's face modifications work wonderfully, which offers a little more humanity to the character. The trailer also allowed to see and hear Toad, while Luigi makes a short appearance at the end. We can now say it: the hype is present and total for this Super Mario Bros The Movie.
