Illumination is probably the perfect company for Nintendo.

>Ke$ha starts playing WAKE UP IN THE MORNING FEELING LIKE IM P DIDDY

they absolutely fucking would too.

bruh

Every time

>this summer is going to be!

This part makes me the angriest, since it's the most realistic.

That's the only somewhat good idea in it though

So how would you do it, Yea Forums?

This, big enough name to draw a crowd but not so big Nintendo can't boss them around, that's exactly why they were chosen.

I was there when this was first posted and it never fails to be funny every single time

Five to ten minute Yoshi's Island origin recap
Rest of the movie is Bowser fucking up the mushroom kingdom and Mario going on a journey using items and power up from his past.
Mario is also fairly smug just to keep in line with Illumination's usual work.

Congrats, here's your upvote

Might be neat

not make a movie, instead make various shorts featuring mario characters in humorous situations
there's sound effects and all that but the characters don't speak more than what they say in-game

I can feel it in my soul that this is going to be accurate down to the letter, and I hate it. Though to be fair, what the fuck else could they even do with a Mario Bros. movie in the first place? Now that I think about it, that's probably how the original Mario Bros. movie happened

Attached: 253.png (600x814, 315K)

Wario will be in it and shit his pants!!

I'd watch it

So what is it, Yea Forums? An adaptation of a game or an original story? Or an adaptation of the cartoon?

I like this idea.

of course it's going to be an original, retarded story

>entire movie is an origin story showing how Mario and Luigi made it to the Mushroom Kingdom
>starts with Mario saving Pauline from DK, Pauline stays around for the entire movie
>emphasis on how fucking sick Mario's jumps are
>find the kingdom via sewer pipes
>Toad acts as an exposition dump about Peach, Bowser and the kingdom for the audience and tags along with them too
>movie cuts between Mario and the gang beating castles while showing what's happening on Bowser's end
>Mario, Toad, and Pauline are kidnapped before they can get to Bowser
>Luigi saves them and has a heroic moment
>Mario fights Bowser and saves Peach by jumping
>kingdom is saved and everyone celebrates
>sequel hook with Wario

Illumination’s issue is their writing
Otherwise their animation is top notch

every time i see this it hurts more, another dagger jammed right into my fucking chest
why can i visualize everything so well?

I'm unironically of the opinion this is one of the greatest things to come out of this godforsaken site. Every time I see it I giggle like a madman

I wouldn’t.

what you're describing there is actual fanservice, the proper definition.

That would please long term mario fans considerably to see, so I can guarantee you that something like that will not happen.

make a Zelda movie with Laika

>MY FIREBALLS

what the fuck else is there to do for a Mario movie
if I wanted an adaptation of a singular game I'd just play the fucking game instead

So what the fuck is wrong with illumination?

Sure they aren’t Pixar or dreamworks but they aren’t Sony pictures either.

I really hope they end up going with the song, so people will meltdown over the absurdity of this pasta actually being from the future

Save this. It will happen. Also, I'm laughing my ass off.

Agreed. It's pretty much guaranteed to be offensively mediocre with nothing interesting about it. It's not even going to be bad enough to poke fun at.

Detective Pikachu worked because it decided to be a roger rabbit situation instead of a reboot/retelling

If it’s anything like that, it should be fine

>top notch
Literally compare it to any other CGI animation company and they're garbage in comparison. Their animation looks fucking dead and stale, they only VERY recently tried their hand at stretch animation and use it sparingly. Now look at something like Clowdy with a chance of meatballs or literally anything Tartakovsky has done with CG animation and ask yourself if you REALLY think Illumination is still relevant in the current year.

>but they aren’t Sony pictures either.

they aren't the creators of cloudy with a chance of meatballs and into the spider-verse?

I honestly have no idea what to expect from this.
Most people fear something like
But that seems impossible with Miyamoto at the helm.
Modern Mario is just so video-gamey and sterile that I literally can't see how it would work as a movie. I can't even see Mario speaking actual sentences in the movie, or anyone else for that matter. It's so surreal. Illumination is known for bland, inoffensive comedy these days, so that's a given, but I have no idea what kind of plot it would have.

$10 says they make Toads into the new Minions.

post yfw Illumination makes Toads minion expys

Attached: image0.gif (540x304, 267K)

Theyre the equivalent of those finger family videos toddlers watch on YouTube.
Cheap to make.
Formulaic.
And way too fucking simple.
If youve seen Minions, Sing! or Despicable Me 1, 2, 3 you would understand the frustration.
For a franchise as iconic as this, it's a fucking shame to have one of the least creative animation studios working on it.
The founder of Illumination literally created it to make money, he said it himself. It's not a passion driven studio.

What if Illumination pulls off with Mario what The Peanuts movie is to Blue Sky?

There isn't really anything wrong with keeping their artstyle more cartoony than Pixar or DreamWorks desu, it kinda just works with their more kiddie movies.
That said I have never watched one of their movies, too cringe for me.

Two anons said it at almost the exact same time, it must be true.

was kinda hoping for something like this but it got scrapped

Illumination doesn't make their animation more cartoony as a decision for art style. They just make shit really cheap looking for the sake of ranking in high profit for cheap cost. Which, imo, makes it wrong and bad on that alone.

Hotel Transylvania, open season, fucking smurfs, Peter rabbit????

Their set pieces and environments are amazing.

I don't think that will be the case because as far as I know Miyamoto hated the idea of a Mario movie precisely because he didn't see the point of one, he actually liked the live action movie because of how different it was. I guess the best idea of a Mario movie story so far are the RPG, maybe this will go the extra mile and be unironically good and unexpected to be fair we don't know anything about it yet-

>Trailer start of with a pan of something mysterious (In America of course) like they're hunting bigfoot or soemthing. Some shots of kids or afamily man which makesyou think this isn't about Mario. Various signs of something being amiss pop up alongside "Mushroom sightings" before the stupid out of place 90's song starts up usually with a break when it's revealed that a bad cgi Mario is living in soem guy's attic.
>Also Bowser is some lovecraftian horror

You wanna talk about how cheap illumination is? Secret life of pets and sing use the exact same city. I’m talking one to one reused assets. Literally copy pasted.

Illumination would never spend an extra dime for any of that. Especially a complicated lovecraftian 3D model you'd have to animate, rig, render and sfx the fuck out of.

-5/10. See me after class.

Why is Ke$ha so good for shitposting

like what

It would literally be Pro tier Speed run the movie using references from other Mario games
Basically the whole movie outside 8 minutes of dialogue total out of 98 minutes movie makes you feel like you’re holding a controller and you’re an elder god at video games

That song was everywhere and no one understands why. It wasn't catchy, earwormy or memorable. But companies paid out the ass to include it in their ads.

Toads fit the minion role more than Yoshi though.

WB-Toho should get the Live Action rights already, that smash movie could be something.

sleep tight haha

>Movie starts with Mario beating Bowser and rescuing Peach.
>Bowser says something along the lines of "You wouldn't win if you weren't gifted with supernatural jumping abilities."
>Mario looks directly at the camera and says
>"You wanna fucking bet?"
This is the one curse word in the movie.
>Cut to the next day
>Peach is recapping
>"Alright, so Mario and Bowser have come to an agreement: If Mario can rescue me without jumping, Bowser will stop kidnapping me. But if Mario fails, Bowser gets to keep me."
>Mario has to learn the power of QPU's and Pedro Spots in order to save the day

Blue Sky when they're not making a franchise film.

So like the Pikmin shorts?
youtube.com/watch?v=LQ8HfktJEl0

They'll do it like the Lorax film and make Toads, Goombas and Yoshis all Minion copies.

Not to mention Cloudy eith a chance of meatballs 2 was shit too

They keep costs low to maximise profits.

Fuck i thought I was going crazy when I kept thinking about this. I feel like the only major difference was that Pets had a New York style bridge since that's where a major part of the story took place.

Make it meta. There's not much story to draw from via the game, but Shiggy sees the characters a troop of actors right? Maybe Bowser gets kidnapped by Wario, who wants to make his own global mega-franchise of games. That way you can sort of go through incorporate the whole history of Mario pretty easily too.

Laika would make an amazing Earthbound movie.

The only thing I want from this atrocity is to have at least one Shyguy as a supporting character

>Shy Guys become the new Minions

Dear god no

I just imagine you’re an employee at Illumination who read , saw that it was pretty accurate, and got offended. And now you’re like ”Well do it better yourself!”

>this is exactly what old white men in business suits who have never touched a video game think that people want

>The most interesting multimedia project on Nintendo’s docket currently is the Super Mario Bros. movie
Does the Nintendo World theme park count as a multimedia project?

Will there be a game to go along with it?

I seriously can't be bothered to think of a single good movie to come from this studio.

Fucker.

TOO LEGIT
TOO LEGIT TO QUIT

Secret Life of Pets. Remember that?

Ice Age 1 was the best movie the made, everything else is abject trash

I'm calling it:
This movie is going to create an unironic following for the original movie, because at least it was memorable and actually made some... "interesting" choices with the source material.
Think about it.
A post-apocalyptic dinosaur world with lizard mutants, conscious fungus, machines that de-evolve you into braindead servants. it was so fucking bonkers it was actually kind of admirable.
