A Mario animated movie by Sony Pictures!?!

Re: Sony Pictures had the rights to make a Mario animated movie

there could be a story that started out how the mario bros rescued the princess and all

how they got to be heroes and well known ones at that

sure the platformer series doesnt have much of a story but that doesnt mean a writer couldnt make one out of all the information of the series

OK so have no story and be about platforming only? That sounds like a flop if you ask me.

It's not so much characters like Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Bowser that I'm concerned about. It's more the secondaries, such as the Toads, the Koopa Troop, and even Yoshi.

I'm actually concerned about Mario. They cannot possibly have him be his usual boring self if this comes to be.

He may be boring but he kicks Bowsers ass XD

Anyway I'm not sure about an animated Mario movie, let's see if it actually happens.

you CAN make stories on mario games as long as you have a competent director who understands the source material

he knows that

hes just trying to say stuff to justify not making a movie about the super mario games
 
Re: Sony Pictures had the rights to make a Mario animated movie

No I'm wondering why everyone is so against making a movie based on the games that actually have decent stories.

Because if you want to start off a movie about a game series, you should probably start off with a main series game, not a spin-off series.
 
Re: Sony Pictures had the rights to make a Mario animated movie

Unless the main series has no story, plus technically this isn't the first Mario movie anyway

Mario Galaxy or Sunshine could work as a movie, but even then they'd have to add quite a bit of filler stuff which would ultimately ruin the charm the games had imo. With one of the RPGs they wouldn't have to add as much filler and it would be almost as good as the game.

let me ask you a question

have you ever watched the super mario bros. anime?
 
Re: Sony Pictures had the rights to make a Mario animated movie

In my opinion, I think the Great Mission to save Peach is one way to do a Mario movie without a conspicuous amount of filler into it.

Scrap the ---- ending though.

Which means nothing. It provides a perfectly valid set up for a movie to base its characters around.

Like what the fuck are you expecting? Do you think that if it actually bases itself off the primary series that it won't have any actual plot at all? Because thats really idiotic.
