Supposed leaks about the Mario movie from test audiences


-Art style is similar to Hotel Transylvania but with Mario
-Humor has puns, meta stuff about being from a game series. No dabbing. No fart jokes. Not like Minion.
-Mario and Luigi have slight redesign, start movie off with dusty clothes, muted color schemes.
-They switch to iconic outfits during the movie. They have BROOKLYN ACCENTS.
-DK Jr., Paulina, Toadsworth are said to appear. Daisy is named dropped. Female toads present, none named "Toadette". Foreman Spike is not a villain character, but is a greedy, bossy character.
- Goombas, Koopas, Hammer Bros, Ninjis, Bullet Bills, Bonzai Bills, Lakitus, Fuzzies are enemies in the film.


-Film opens with Charles Martinet narrating various jobs Mario has had before he starts working for the wrecking crew.
-He fights Donkey Kong in the "real world" (still animated).
-Mario is famous from this, when he hears about monkeys and turtles fighting he goes into sewer to investigate.
-Mario meets an older "Cranky" Donkey Kong. Mario cannot communicate because he doesn't speak monkey.
-They end up falling through a pipe into the Mushroom Kingdom.
-There are musical numbers akin to a Disney film. First song is a Bowser song detailing his backstory and desire to take over the Mushroom Kingdom.
-He kidnaps Peach and flees in his ship. Mario and Captain Toad pursue him.
-There is a song all about plumbing.
-Luigi follows Mario into the Mushroom Kingdom and meets Yoshi.
-Bowser beats Mario and throws him off the ship, he reunites with Luigi.
-They get their iconic costumes and head for Bowsers Castle.
-They fight 3 Bowser clones that when defeated turn into some gross indescribable enemy.
-Kamek gives Bowser a mushroom that makes him grow. He chases Mario and Luigi through a pipe maze where they go through various locations (desert, ocean, forest, clouds, etc.). This is the only part of the movie where Fire Flowers and Stars make an appearance.
-Yoshi and Kamek "have history" and fight.
-Bowser is defeated when he is tricked into going into a pipe that drops him into a lava pit.
-Mario decides to open a plumbing business in the Mushroom Kingdom. Post credit scene is Dry Bowser emerging from the lava.

The leaker apparently compared it to the Lego movie.

I think this is fake with how much of it seems to take stuff from the old cartoons from the late 80's/early 90's. It honestly sounds like MovieBob fanfiction, but if it was true oh boy would it be hilarious.

I'm not too sure if it will be a box-office flop. I am not defending the movie so far, because I know it's going to suck hard, but given Illumination's track history of marketing over the years, it's still going to be a massive hit at the box-office because of the company's namesake.

Shit, even the Jim Carrey Grinch movie is more kino than Illumination's movie will ever be. The only thing that I remember about Illumination's version is how people meme'd this like hell.

I never got the hate for the Jim Carey Grinch. I think he did a better job than what Mike Myers "attempted" to do with Cat In The Hat. Even though the Grinch is an asshole, he comes off like-able due to his sarcasm.

I'd say the Mike Myers Cat in the Hat movie is a guilty pleasure to me. It's bad, but it has a lot of hilarious moments and it's visually appealing, even in today's standards. But yea, the Jim Carrey Grinch felt more ambitious, as he felt more animated, especially expression-wise. And speaking of Dr. Seuss/Jim Carrey collab, Blue Sky's own Horton movie was also a gem. It has also given a pretty bum rep when it came out, but I personally loved it and honestly, it's the only computer animated film that visually captured the Seuss magic unlike whatever Illumination has done with its two efforts.

Grinch is a legit well made film and I'm tired of pretending it isn't. The concept is immensely retarded, but once you get past that you have a good Christmas flick.
