FalcoLombardi Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 I had fun while watching it. Didn't enjoy it as much as the GF and friend we went with. 6/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, I hate that notion. It's no excuse. Plenty of Kids movies can hit just as hard as any other movie. There's a damn good reason why Lilo & Stitch is my favourite Disney movie, and it isn't just because of wacky alien hijinks, it's because it's a relatively realistic depiction of the issues families can face with child services. That movie's great! I wanna watch it again now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 A kids film doesn't even have to be deep to be good. My favourite animated film is Megamind - the plot isn't anything deep or meaningful, but it keeps you entertained and guessing all the way through.

Got my niece into it so when my mom and I went to Hawaii recently we had to tell her Stitch was on holiday to stop her asking to join. But it does have a really nice message about made family. And I found out recently there's a manga where Stitch lands in fuedal Japan and I need to read that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowserBasher Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 The only bonus feature listed that interests me is the making of. So guess no super duper edition for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted June 16, 2023 Author Share Posted June 16, 2023 One thing I didn't expect to come out of this movie was the Luna becoming a nihilistic meme on Spanish* Instagram. Seen a few just browsing but here's an example I could find again. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CsZQlSOOEw9/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== (My Spanish is basic but it's something like "happy birthday friend. Another year older, another year closer to death") *Not sure whether it's a specific Spanish-speaking country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEVILMURRAY Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Watched this at the cinema today, much better than I thought it was going to be. My eyes dotting all over the place for all the lil tributes/homages etc. I think it's the music that made this for me* and will probably invest legally in the OST. *Not that dogshit Peaches stuff though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WackerJr Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Has anyone heard when this is likely to drop on any of the streaming services without having to buy or rent it, in the UK? I haven't yet found anything beyond paying for it on Prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have Sky, buy it digitally with the blu-ray, then take the blu-ray down to CEX 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted November 9, 2023 Author Share Posted November 9, 2023 It's coming to Netflix (presumably US) December 3rd so maybe it'll be coming to the UK one too: https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/9/23954261/nintendos-shockingly-excellent-super-mario-bros-movie-hits-netflix-this-december Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindFreak Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 I believe Netflix tries to put out content at the same time all over the world. So it's more a question of them getting the streaming rights on Europe. I hope they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmsly Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 (edited) The Super Mario Bros movie was the most profitable film of 2023: https://deadline.com/2024/05/the-super-mario-bros-movie-profits-1235902894/ Quote Not only is The Super Mario Bros Movie the highest-grossing Illumination movie of all time with $1.36 billion at the global box office, but it’s also the most profitable at $559M, besting Minions‘ net of $502M in 2015.

BowserBasher Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Bring on the Nintendo Cinematic Universe 😜 Seriously though this is great news. We all hoped it would be a good fan service film and it certainly was received well by most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
