The official teaser trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is set to debut tomorrow, and a new look at the film was released yesterday.
To say that The Super Mario Bros. Movie was a success might be one of the bigger understatements of the post-pandemic world. Nintendo has guarded this IP for quite some time, ever since the live-action film was received so poorly by the public. When they teamed up with Illumination, of all the animation studios, some were nervous because of the three big theatrical studios consistently putting out animated work, Illumination tends to miss more than they hit. However, this was a hit and in a very big way. So no one should have been surprised that a sequel came to be, and we've been getting tiny teases of information about it this year. However, this week we're going to finally get some actual footage. A piece of art was released yesterday, and the trailer is set to premiere on the Nintendo YouTube channel tomorrow.
We got the official title confirmation and the logo for the film just a month ago, in September. Everyone involved is also doing the smart thing and attempting to make lightning strike twice by releasing this movie in April, just like the last one. Unlike other studios, they seem to realize that breaking something that isn't broken just because you think you might do better in the peak of summer [looking at you, M3GAN 2.0] is not the path to success.
