 Okay, you know, I didn't know if I was going to make a video about the Mario movie. I figured it was a movie trailer I've never reacted to a movie trailer in a video on my channel But it is Nintendo and it actually is a pretty big deal It's Nintendo's first real stab at making a Nintendo movie unless you count and I do the Mario movie from like the 90s Which apparently I was the only one that actually liked the live-action Super Mario movie But they're trying it again But animated this time with illumination making the movie in tandem with Nintendo Apparently they said they've been making it for seven years and they revealed it today in a Nintendo Direct and at New York City Comic-Con now again. I really I don't think I was gonna stream my reaction to this because it's just a Movie I talk about video games But I started to realize this could really be the start of something big and It could it could lead to a whole Nintendo cinematic universe with Zelda and Donkey Kong and did I really want to miss the start of it and fill my reaction? What if it's bad think of the memes now? Yes, but we just watched it live and um Wow, I actually like it I actually like everything I am seeing here the animation looks fantastic the voice work is actually pretty good I've been going on and on about this ever since they revealed they were making this movie and gave us that ridiculous cast of characters But every single one of those characters those voice actors those people that they are hired to be in this movie have not done Character work before it's sure they've been in movies Jack Black was in Kung Fu Panda, but he was Jack Black Yeah, he just did a Jack Black voice done. Well I've done awesome and Seth Rogen was in sausage party, but he just did Seth Rogen I gotta tell everyone like he's all that these actors have only ever played themselves Whether it's in a live-action movie or a voice-acted movie, so I really didn't know how this was going to go I thought maybe they're gonna do a Jumanji thing where a bunch of these like actors these people and the Real will gets sucked in to a Mario universe, but then again It's illumination and all they do is animate it. So surely it had to be fully animated, right? So what what were they gonna do make these actors do voice acting for the first time? So they are doing character work. Yes, actually, that's what's happening and it works the animations really cool The story looks pretty much as you would expect You have Bowser going around different kingdoms I'm guessing because they're in this snow area that probably has an actual name. I'm a bad Mario fan Roasting all of these adorable little penguins very great animation with fun interactions It's already very a funny story as you would expect because I've seen the Minion movies and they are funny But I was so nervous to hear Jack Black speak for the first time has Bowser and he crushed it. I Do not The very first line he delivered didn't sound like him at all Open the gates. I could barely even tell that was Jack Black It just kind of sounds like a badass Bowser voice the next line He delivered had a ton more personality in it But it was very in tune with an animated movie version of what I would expect from Bowser and the The way they've animated the face to be your fun charming and character You know that goes in tandem with having a more natural sounding voice, but it has the Bowser grunt I do not Jack Black has taken inspiration from the character and how he breathes and talks and he's worked it into an actual Understandable dialogue, which I appreciate that a lot then the next voice that I was wondering how this was gonna work was toad and Keegan because toad is It's like it's just a bunch of these Nostral noises But Keegan even did a great job at taking the character at toad and Turning it into a voice and putting that that raspy element that that long drone of toad into the talk into the speech So again there We have a great Voice-acted version of toad from an actor who usually doesn't do voice work But these actors are taking inspiration from the Mario universe and implementing them into the characters, which I love And then you got Chris Pratt now How is the one we were all worried about right like what was he gonna do like I don't think he could do an Italian accent That would seem a little weird. I mean Charles Martin a does do an Italian accent, but Chris Pratt doing one I just don't think as a society. We're ready for that So there was talk of him doing a Brooklyn accent instead and having Mario be from the streets of New York and I Did react to this live and my chat and I had a little bit of debate about whether or not this is a Brooklyn accent I don't want to act like I'm any kind of professional here Just because I've moved an hour away from Brooklyn and I've been there a bunch lately But I don't know it's just it's not that thick I guess maybe it's slight But when you have a slight accent on somebody whose voice is as recognizable as Chris Pratt because he's literally in Everything always it's just kind of gonna sound like Chris That's just Chris also the delivery of the voice line. I feel was a little flat It's not even got that much excitement in it like he's going to mushroom Kingdom and he's just going Mushroom Kingdom here. We come And that's I think to be Expected like I've seen a lot of what Chris Pratt has done and I yeah, I kind of I kind I kind of just expected this I think it's a little bit more as my someone in my chat said uncanny Valley 2 because you have the whole Mario universe here You have characters like toad, which is not a humanoid character. I mean kind of but not really it's a creature It's a thing you have Bowser is a thing penguins are a thing all these things are talking with these very Animated cartoony voices even so much to as to try and incorporate the video game versions into the voices And then you have Mario who's changed. I mean visually this is on the animation the animation has made him look more human They've changed his face. It looks more like a Cartoonie version of a real guy not like whatever Mario actually is so now all of a sudden you have that character in this world Which is already a little uncanny Valley, but then you just give him a normal speaking voice Just a normal Chris Pratt speaking voice So it feels immediately jarring But then something that we went back and we talked about and we thought of is this trailer shows This Mario landing in the mushroom Kingdom for the first time he even says where am I because look he's like never been There before all right. I think we're on there's something. Yeah, he's never been there before that is actually how Mario the games started with Mario and Luigi coming through a tunnel and entering the mushroom Kingdom for the first time And they're not from there. They they land there. They they live there now, but that's not where they started So I do think there's merit here to the story and we're gonna find more about this later But maybe this is like a human character Maybe he's from New Donk City or maybe he's from the real world and it just like things are kind of more normal there And they just kind of talk like humans and he's been sucked into the mushroom Kingdom And now he's a human in the mushroom Kingdom and as much as this voice is jarring to me right now Or maybe to a lot of people for anyone that is worried I think when you see that and if that's the case and the pieces get put And I it seems like it is because you see him landing in and being confused and go in a mushroom Kingdom for the first time I think when you have the whole story given to you and you see a bunch of real characters in like New Dog City Or maybe even the real world which I doubt I think it'll be animated still but animated more realistically Then sucked into the mushroom Kingdom You'll be along for that ride and now suddenly Chris Pratt just kind of sounding like a slightly Brooklyn Chris Pratt But won't be nearly as jarring because you kind of understand a little more what's happening now as opposed to this first look Where we've seen the opposite. We've seen the mushroom Kingdom. We've seen Bowser. We've heard their voices They sound cool. They kind of sound better than we expected and then oh Yeah, that's Chris Pratt so I'm holding a lot of judgment out on that but overall Wow, I think that actually was very cool. I can see this being a super successful movie if not just for kids I mean that's obviously where movies like this are targeted towards anyway Doesn't mean adults can't enjoy them like Kim and I watching the minions the other day clearly a kids movie But you know we get a chocolate and we get a laugh and with this the Nintendo movie the Mario movie We get to see our childhoods be brought to life on the screen for essentially the first time. Oh wow Whoa, he looks kind of cool kind of weird. We didn't get to hear Charlie day We saw Luigi at the end for a little bit. I'm gonna assume that he came along for the ride with Mario So he probably sounds like Charlie day and they're not doing character work either I'm sure putting on a little bit of an accent, but he already has that Philly PA accent, which is Very adjacent, but not only that Charlie day kind of just Sounds like Louis. I don't know when Charlie day already has a very interesting voice And Charlie day is an incredible actor so I Definitely excited for that and then to see all the other characters do their versions of the mushroom Kingdom Characters and yeah animation looks great story looks great. I am surprised by this one I truly truly am I think this is gonna be a great movie any way you slice it man I spent hours of my life stomping Koopas. Oh my god cringe. All right, everyone. I Appreciate you guys. I wanted to give my thoughts on it because I actually had a lot more to say than I thought I did I'm gonna be live tonight on twitch So if you want to watch that come and hang out. I love you guys I appreciate you guys and let me know what you thought of the movie. Let me know down below I have a new video like tomorrow morning. So Watch that too.
