It COULD be good. I'm remaining optimistic, but at the same time I'm not going to worry too much about it until it comes out

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

I wanna see mario eat those twinkies.

This'll be either great, or horrible. I'll definitely watch it. Luckily, it will be better than the *cough cough*other mario movie*cough cough* since Nintendo will definitely learn from their mistakes.

not holding my breath

I can't wait for the Mario Minions cross-over, I'm just trembling in my boots, the Rabbids weren't enough.

You're not thinking big enough, the Minions and Rabbids could be a tie-in crossover

It's a good animation studio, but the directors and what makes up the film is horrible

 

[Anfroid]

I want to see this movie come out the same weekend the duke nukem movie comes out.

I really hope they breed.

I am sure the staff will not be hammered in the making of this movie.

I think at that point, we would all need a lobotomy.

"Ode to Peach," a Grammy and Oscar nominated song from Pharell confirmed.

It'll be good, Mario will be kept to his own universe, and the Minions/Rabbids to theirs, but this will obviously be targeted at children, so you still can't expect too much.

- Like I've said before Nintendo has some gold.. if they just do it right... Mario Party Online.. and I swear to God.. this new Metroid prime better have some online multi-player like the DS game did.. total boss.

as long as it's not live action, I'm all good ! my kids will love it

 

[Veho]

Two companies that live off of milking their respective mascots for all they're worth and then some, and have become very very good at it, collaborating on a kids' movie. This will make an infinite amount of money.

Lemme just quote myself from the previous thread about this:

What are you willing to bet the Goombas will act like Minions? It's a formula that (evidently) works.

I don't care what others say, the original movie was under appreciated, and still better than its sequel "Land of the Dead"

the original mario movie is still enjoyable to me to this day, they could have done better but I think it's fun
but I dont get your reference about land of the dead, what has that got to do with mario?

It also stars John Leguizamo, and Dennis Hopper, and has a similar comedic tone in a dark setting. If you haven't seen it, check it out sometime you'll understand.
