You won’t have to wait much longer to enjoy The Super Mario Bros. Movie from the comfort of home, as the film hit digital retails starting tomorrow!
Got a kid who’s been bugging you to re-watch The Super Mario Bros. Movie since you took them to see it in theaters? You’re in luck. Universal/Illumination have announced that starting tomorrow, May 16th, you’ll be able to digitally purchase the animated film (from your retailer of choice) and enjoy it on your couch at home!
Showcasing an all-star lineup to voice the iconic pop culture characters, THE SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE stars Chris Pratt (Jurassic World franchise), Charlie Day (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, The Lego Movie), Anya Taylor-Joy (Last Night in Soho, The Queen’s Gambit), Keegan-Michael Key (Key & Peele), Seth Rogan (Neighbors, An American Pickle), Jack Black (Kung Fu Panda franchise) and Fred Armisen (“Wednesday,” Portlandia).
The movie tells the story of two Brooklyn plumbers who are brothers and best friends: Mario, the brave one with the “let’s-a go” attitude, and the perpetually anxious Luigi, who would prefer to go nowhere. We open with the Super Mario Brothers reckoning with their struggling plumbing business, and wind up in a whirlwind adventure through Mushroom Kingdom. Through their journey, we meet a cast of familiar, lovable characters, ultimately uniting together to defeat the power-hungry villain, Bowser. The Super Mario Bros. Movie takes what millions of gamers worldwide have loved for thirty-five years and levels it up to a new and breathtaking cinematic experience.
No word just yet on the physical release (though I suspect it’ll be within the next month or so), but it’s still nice to be able to enjoy it at home this week.
