Wow neat sponsor
I’m definitely going to buy it!
I don't blame the animators, I blame the heads at Illumination...
I think Chris Pratt as Mario, and Jack Black as Bowser, are silly choices and it will probably be a lame-o movie, but I genuinely liked the Sonic movie and I'll probably see Mario regardless of how bad it is. Mario is still my favorite game franchise. I'd love to see a Zelda story movie.
I'm convinced that Arlo’s gasp and realization that a Luigi's Mansion movie could happen was completely off script and he legit figured that out while recording.
That would actually be so lit
Yeah
Image the weird voice king boo would have
Dwayne Johnson as King Boo would sound super amazing.
Edit: Wow, no, it's King BOO, autocorrect!
I laughed so hard at his reaction xD
The videos of people reacting to the cast announcement alone was massive free publicity for the film.
Sonic also had that, and that was the most forgettable movie of the last few years
@@mikemcmullen5006
it still made alot of money anyway, just like the mario movie will do, probably
@@mikemcmullen5006 Sonic movie was Awesome!
Not to mention the most convenient thanks to covid and internet. How many other game-movies had that luxury?
@@mikemcmullen5006 Sonic was one of the few movies that came out in 2020 lol.
Luigi's Mansion the movie could be legit amazing.
And it would have a strong chance of being a cyclical movie that pops up every few years around Halloween.
Who do you think Mark Hamill would voice? My best guess is Professor E. Gadd.
# 001 I just want to see a Luigi's mansion game crossover with the Ghostbusters. I don't even care if it's good or not, the opportunity itself is just sitting there waiting to be dug up.
@@darreljones8645 expecially if he makes him sound similar to the joker. A true mad scientist. Thatd be amazing
@@darreljones8645 No way! Christopher Lloyd should play E. Gadd!
@@darreljones8645 king boo without a doubt
I will say, for all the damage the Minions have done to comedy, the first Despicable Me movie was actually really charming, sweet, and had a (then) really unique visual style.
I know right lol. The little girls in the first despicable me was honestly the pinnacle of my existence, they were PERFECT in that movie. And honestly I didn't mind the minions in the first movie, because they didn't have any annoying jokes or phrases and they didn't feel like they were the main focus. And also one thing, aside from the first despicable me, there animation is AWFUL. It's so plasticky and shiny it just looks unappealing, the colors look so flat and bland it's honestly disgusting.
The first Despicable Movie was before Illumination realized that they didn't have to try to make a lot of money.
@@jeepmega629 true true
I honestly feel like the main problem with the Minions is their voices. A large part of their comedy seems to be slapstick/physical comedy which has been a thing in animation for decades (like Tom and Jerry, Loony Tunes, or cartoons from the 30's). I think they'd be less seen as a "curse on animation" if they were relatively silent.
One thing I don´t see people talking about is the fact we are getting CRANKY and FOREMAN SPIKE, characters that represent the LIFE OF MARIO BEFORE THE MAIN GAMES. It´s so crazy to me that Nintendo is putting these almost forgotten characters (just Spike, Cranky REALLY isn´t forgotten) in new projects. Gives me hope for other characters like Tatanga, Smithy, Fawful, etc. to come back.
A movie with spike and fawful would be crazy
As much as I adore SMRPG (one of my all-time favorite games), there's zero chance for Smithy, Mallow, or Geno at this point. Square owns them. If they didn't even put them in Smash Bros Ultimate beyond the spirits, my hopes are nonexistent.
@@aninymouse1651 theres still a small chance if Square sees money opportunity? but im not entirely sure how square works haven't really looked at them too much
@@aninymouse1651 but anyone from the paper And M&L rpgs are %100 Nintendo
this means the movie is probably going to be a "origin story", since Cranky is the original DK and Spike is...mario and luigi first boss
this gives me some hope for the movie, it has been a while since nintendo tryed to explain with the detail the "mario lore"
Nintendo almost never gives attention to the mario rpg original characters, so i doubt we are going to see them in any future movie...for now at least
(this movie is also going to give us the first 3d model for spike...just hope illumination doesn't make his legs too thin)
I love how Arlo's go-to clip to use of Jack Black is the scene where he's been kidnapped by The Muppets, I would have expected nothing less.
“Actually Kane and Yoshiller edited the video” 🥸🥸🤓🤓
The man is at least 50% Muppet himself. Especially with the beard.
I’m genuinely pleased to hear Illumination’s CEO said they really want to keep Nintendo hands on with this film, at the same time I love how with this cast they just said “We’re ILLUMINATION, 15%-of-Sing’s-production-budget-is-music Illumination, you know who we are.”
My most ideal and plausible vision is a mix of genuine enjoyment and ironic meme enjoyment. Preferably more of the former, but if they REALLY go for the latter I might be able to live with that.
Illumination also created the Minions and even gave them their own movie. I have no hope for this film.
@@AlvinEarthworm Despicable Me is a good movie. Minions… not so much.
The character in your profile picture, he’s so cool
@@IcyDiamond Damn right
That’s good to hear because illumination in general tend to suck
I love how Arlo went completely silent at the very concept of a Luigi’s Mansion movie. I would definitely watch that.
I hope Mario does well enough that Nintendo gets the idea to commission a studio to make a sick Metroid show. Make it a more violent and dark version of Mandalorian.
Holy shit, the baby metroid could be a baby yoda parallel
That could either be cringe or dope as shit
Watch the entire internet bawl its eyes out after the baby Metroid sacrifices itself to save Samus
A Metroid film or show could be interesting. However, there is always the chance it could resemble Metroid's last attempt at something more story-heavy...
(In case it isn't clear, I'm referring to the infamous Other M)
Metroid is a good possibility as they've attempted to make a Metroid film before in the 2000s before canceling it. With Metroid Dread doing well, and the possible success of the Mario film, I could definitely see a Metroid film not being far off from Nintendo and Universal. However, I think Metroid would only be PG-13 at most as none of the Metroid games are M-Rated.
Unless it's something like Primal which focuses more on visuals and has 0 dialogue then no. I do not want to hear Samus talk, I do not want to hear her make quips, I do not want Metroid to be trying to copy the Guardians of the Galaxy's tone just because the MCU made it work for their space movie.
I do hope Nintendo did at least have Illumination rein back the cliches they’re infamous for.
Also I think it’d be a pleasant surprise if Chris Pratt took influence from either Captain Lou Albano or Walker Boone’s performances as Mario.
They said no italian accent
@@kolo5141 who said no Italian accent?
@@carlapaolagonzalez498 Illumination has commented on Pratt's casting, and said that he's not gonna have the accent, and they feel Charlie Day as Luigi covers the Italian side of things
@@SeleneDethly well that sucks doesn't make any sense either both Mario Bros always had the same accent if only one does the Italian stuff then how the heck can we call Mario Mario?
The Minions movie was painfully awful. The last thing we need is a Mario movie along similar lines. The first Despicable Me film was quite charming and rather good, I thought. Hopefully the Mario movie is more like this.
The funny thing is that the Sonic the Hedgehog movie turned out to be exciting, hilarious, well-acted and sharply-written, so Mario has quite the competition to live up to.
I never knew that I needed to hear arlo’s opinions on animated movies, I literally would love a video where he just talks about his favorite movies
I agree.
And I'd love to see an Arlo and Schaffrilla crossover someday in the future.
That'd be cool
@@aecholapis that already technically happened, years ago when shaff did YTP’s he did one on Arlo called “Arlos sharp critique of the pikmin cinematic universe” it has been unlisted so the only way to find it is to go to shaff’s channel and find it on his old YTP playlist.
He did a review of some Muppet movies with James Rolfe of Cinemassacre. I dare you to name a more based cross over. I dare you to utter heresy in my presence.
This stunned me too. Turns out Arlo has some solid movie knowledge to share as well.
3:27 I stand by this when I say Charlie Day was the best casting choice in the entire movie and I’m excited to see him in action, just watch some of the videos where people animated Luigi over Some of Charlie’s lines in Always Sunny and you’ll see that he fits perfectly
The first Despicable Me was a pretty unique and solid movie, so maybe they'll tap back into that for this but probably not
I think it’s most likely they probably will, considering how Illumination stated themselves that this will be unlike ANY movie they have produced. So there’s that.
All I see is Disney's marketing team buying time for the eventual death of American cinema. Aardman, Illumination and Light Chaser are superior in every aspect.
The Despicable Me franchise went from good to bad to awful. Hopefully they can buck this trend with the Mario movie.
@@MindinViolet The first two Despicable Mes were good, but Minions and the 3rd film range from okay to garbage.
It hasn’t even come out yet and we all know it’s going to be a meme goldmine
I have to agree with you Arlo on basically all the points you've made. The Mario movie will be massive. I just have this sinking feeling I'm going to leave the theater a little disgusted and heartbroken
Don't give up hope just yet! If we're not fond with the trailers, history may repeat itself as with Sonic.
Aside from the first Despicable Me Illumination has never made a movie I would consider above ‘fine’. I saw an ad on a cereal box for Sing 2 and I had genuinely forgotten about that movie’s existence. So yeah my hopes are not particularly high for it being ‘good’, just a phenomena.
@@pharoahcaraboo9610 while watching this video I thought to myself, "I don't think I've seen a single Illumination movie" then he showed all of them with their budgets and gross and I realized I've seen just about every Illumination movie...
I’m hoping if it’s bad, it’s at least a fun train wreck
@@pharoahcaraboo9610 despicable me.is like 7/10 at best as well.
I love the fact that he put a note saying that the Captain Underpants movie is good, and that you should watch it, so true lmao
I loved the books as a kid, and finding out WEIRD AL DOES THE SONG AT THE END!? YES PLEASE!!!!
@@PsychoDiesel48 Dav Pilkey is a huge fan of Weird Al; it was something of a surprise for him to learn Weirdathan Albert would be writing him a song
@@Fralexion excellent. So good.
I really enjoy hearing Arlo's opinions on the Mario movie
I also enjoy hearing arlos opinions on the mario movie
I also enjoy hearing arlos opinions on the Mario movie
I too enjoy hearing Arlo's opinions on the Mario movie.
This was the perfect chance to bring Roberta back, we miss her. Did you send her to a farm where she can run free with other horsey friends
A high-horse farm
"No Arlo, Roberta can't come home, she's gone to the great high-horse farm in the sky with her horsey friends" - Arlo's mother
@@MsMaydayGoingDown oh my god
I can’t wait for people to say “Wow, the Mario movie was so good they made games based off of it!”
Yeah kinda like the Pokémon movie and Sonic they made entire games just to prepare for the development of those movies
Mario's first appearance was in Donkey Kong which was based off of the movie King Kong. So it's all coming full circle.. or something
@@jayone8891 Donkey Kong wasn't based off King Kong but okay
@@sakuraanime122 Inspired by
@@psychokinrazalon it wasnt theres actually a lawsuit that occured between the two it was pretty cool to hear about it. The only similarity between the two is that both feature a big monkey.
Gosh darn it Arlo, now you have ignited my need for a Luigi’s Mansion movie with John Cena as King Boo.
"Bwah! You can't see me!"
Pffft!
He's not voiceing King boo he is just greenscreened into the movie
I feel like I'm the only person who was actually excited about the casting when it was announced. Like, as far as Chris Pratt goes, my first thought was that they're gonna go with the Brooklyn accent used in the old cartoons rather than the Italian accent when know today.
This works for me as I ALWAYS preferred the Brooklyn accent. Can't stand the italian one
Hey paisanos!
I would be fine with that accent.
Should've casted Vinny Vinesauce instead then
"Luigi, c'mon, Luigi"
I enjoy Mario in the games as much as the next guy, with his fun little WAHOOs lol. But I agree, I think going for what they did with the Mario Bros Super Show would work so well for a movie, and I honestly really liked Marios voice from those old cartoons (RIP "Capt." Lou Albano)
"It's hard to imagine a Charlie Day Luigi."
Not really. Charlie Day is good at playing characters that are absolute nervous wrecks. Which is why a Luigi's Mansion is something I would be excited about.
Agreed. Charlie Day was the one actor announced that made me say "yeah, I can see that being a good fit for the character." I think he'll be a pretty enjoyable take on Luigi.
Charlie day and Jack Black as Bowser are the ones I said ok that makes sense
4:11 I honestly don't really understand this take.
Miyamoto isn't a fan of big Mario stories because he thinks gameplay should always be the focus.
A movie doesn't have gameplay. The entire thing is all story.
And Miyamoto really understands how to make things entertaining, imo. He directed the Pikmin short films, and those are amazing. I'm sure he's had loads of great input for the Mario movie.
That being said, I'm also pretty worried, because Illumination convinced him to allow Chris Pratt to be Mario, and it's likely Illumination are convincing Miyamoto that some other bad choices are actually good ones... So uh... I'm not that optimistic anymore.
But at the very least, I think Miyamoto being involved is a very good thing.
Miyamoto is a massive boomer with a fried sense of what's funny and what isn't. The pikmin short films were great cuz those were short and sweet and lacked dialogue, which made it perfect for the things he's good with.
I'm mainly banking on Koizumi having a say in how things are going with this film to one extent or another.
I know it's the big thing to hate on Chris Pratt as Mario, but who would you have casted? And please don't say Charles Martinet, the man is a treasure, but having that voice for a feature length film would be incredibly grating and lack any nuance.
@@Yohoat Charles Martinet has voiced Mario in full sentences before.
have you watched the lego movie? Chris pratt was great in that. Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong scares me a bit...
@@matthewkrekeauthor Yes I have watched the Lego movie multiple times and yes Chris Pratt was great. But I don't really think that fits mario.
The video aged well.
The rush of adrenaline I felt as I came to the same Luigi's mansion movie realization as you did in the video is astounding!
Same!!!
Omg me too
Well... Mario movie is currently on trajectory for a $1.5 billion box office, even before opening in Japan and South Korea, its biggest international markets... so, uh, yeah, Arlo was right and the box office analysts were wrong.
the finest wine.
I’d love nothing more than to learn about the biology of Arlos.
I wanna get that Arlo Lore.
Arlore, if you will.
I love the way Arlo gasped when the idea of a Luigi's Mansion movie came in. 17:06 Also with that poster, I hope the implication is Christopher Lloyd as E. Gadd and Mark Hamill as King Boo because that's casting I could get behind.
I'd be slightly less pessimistic about the movie if Illumination wasn't involved. They are competent animators, but they are truly the poster children of the "Celebrity first, eh who cares about the rest" animated feature trend. I've seen a few of their movies somewhat involuntarily over the years and they're the cinema equivalent of way off brand junk food. They're not even twinkies or store-brand twinkies, but sketchy podunk gas station knock offs that make you regret your culinary choices.
I will give credit where credit is due, the hotel transylvania movies are *phenomenally* animated, but the stories are shite. I hope the movie Is actually good though.
@@Scrittlescrattle Hotel Transylvania was animated by Sony, which is kinda ironic thinking about a mario movie lol
@@LeMiraculer PFFT YOURE RIGHT! How could I have forgotten🤦♀️
@@LeMiraculer even worse, they're gonna have the director of that film to be the director for the movie.
It would be pretty bleak if Nintendo wasn't as involved with the movie as they are.
hearing arlo say minions are a menace has repaired my soul
I can't believe they managed to cast the original voice of Mario- Chris Pratt!
If “The Secret Life of Pets” can make 800 million world wide, I feel it’s nearly impossible Mario will be a flop money wish. Love them or hate them, Illumination is good at marketing, budgets and being “good enough”. Even if you are like me and think it’s a plague of hollow soullessness, you have to admit it works sadly.
Moviegoing audiences are dumb.
Well you also have to take into consideration that the secret life of pets was also a movie that came out before a pandemic existed so that can play a part as well.
@@iraford5788 that is a solid point
@@iraford5788 after minions rise of gru, I pretty much have no doubts that they're still dominating the financial side of animation
I just hope it's either a hilarious dumpster fire or unironically amazing. Just not mediocre. Please, god, not mediocre.
3:27 tbh Charlie day doing his neurotic, mile a minute ramble shtick would be excellent for Luigi.
There’s also Illumination’s EXTREMELY aggressive marketing.
Like, they will plaster the Minions on anything, so you know that when we are nearing the Mario Movie release they will put Mario’s face everywhere.
One thing working against “Mario”: it’s opening the Wednesday after “Avatar 2” and “Aquaman 2” both open, both of which are going to hit huge with families and come on the heels of $1 billion-grossing originals.
Aquamam's a serious problem for sure, but let's be honest does anyone really think Avatar 2 is coming by now?
Aquaman yes, Avatar? Who cares about that movie? I thought it was long forgotten
@@billcipher8645 Right there you go my point exactly.
@@Cloud-dt6xb Teaser trailer came out, it looks great, it's coming.
Hopefully it'll do the Mario franchise justice 🤞
*Me looking at what Illumination did to Dr. Sues*
Anatomy we know Arlo has:
-Eyes
-Mouth
-Ears (for RayCons)
-Glarfileptor
- arms, hands, fingers
I want to to see someone compile something using Chris Pratt's voice from the Lego Movie or Parks and Rec over cutscenes from Mario games, just to get an idea on how it might be like.
I had that exact same idea! Except instead of Mario, getting clips of Jack Black for Bowser's dialogue in the Super Mario Sunshine cutscenes.
A lot of these have already been made, especially with other characters!
@@benhayes1118 Awesome! Could you recommend some for me?
This movie is either gonna be a dumpster fire or the best film to grace the Earth.
Its probably going to be boring considering its by Illumination. :/
Both.
At least casting Seth Rogen as DK gives Seth "hates Christmas" Rogen a character he can accurately portray the intelligence of.
to be fair to Seth Rogan christmas is an awful holiday
@@METC500 yes, so terrible to wish peace and joy to the world /sarcasm
17:04 NGL if that Mark Hamill starring role was for King Boo. That would actually be a great casting choice.
There’s a small part of me that wishes it would be based of Super Mario Super Show. That would probably be a terrible option but I kinda want to see it regardless.
Judging from the promos you're not totally wrong
The Fast & Furious franchise is a prime example of how an F-Zero film could easily work. And Metroid? It's already based on the Aliens movie series.
A Luigi’s Mansion movie would be a dream come true, they could even base it off of the original game. I’d also just like to see the Luigi’s Mansion King Boo style on the big screen
A Donkey Kong Country has such insane potential. It would raise the status of Donkey Kong to incredible new heights.
Nintendo might actually start showing some real care for Donkey Kong again, and that's phenomenal.
17:16 I love this poster. the corniness, the actors (mark Hamil as king boo for sure), and most of all the perfectly imperfect thanksgiving release.
Yep he was right.
I love hearing you rant about the mario movie, it's so.. wholesome? In a way? Your passion is amazing! Keep it up buddy!
I find its interesting to see a children friendly Arlo express dislike for childrens movies. (Well looks like he is an RLM fan it appears)
@@kerred legitimately forgot Arlo is a muppet and had no idea what you were talking about for a second there. Also yeah your right that's part of the appeal to his channel, it's like sesame street but for adults. (Arlo if you're reading this I mean it in the most kind and nostalgic way possible)
@@Scrittlescrattle edited to mean Arlo instead of character. :)
I will once again reiterate my thoughts on the cast:
Mario - Chris Pratt has proven his skill as a voice actor with the LEGO Movie (and Ben 10: Ultimate Alien which I am including here solely because of personal bias), which came out before he was famous. We don't know what Mario will sound like, but I'm sure Pratt can come up with a good voice for him.
Peach - I only know Anya Taylor-Joy from Split, but if that's anything to go by then she'll do a great job.
Luigi - Charlie Day is, quite frankly, perfect. I would have gone with John Leguizamo again because it would have been funny, but Charlie Day can absolutely portray a nervous wreck as he has proven many times.
Bowser - This is the one everyone seems to agree is good, so there's not much I can say about it.
Donkey Kong - Seth Rogan already kind of sounds like what DK would sound like if he had a human voice. If he just deepens his voice a little, it'll be a dead-ringer for the games.
Toad - It could be pretty hilarious if Keegan-Michael Key does a deep voice for Toad, and if that's the joke they're going for I'm here for it.
Foreman Spike - I honestly don't know crap about Sebastian Maniscalco.
Cranky Kong - I grew up watching Fred Armisen on SNL, and I can imagine him easily doing a "back in my day" kind of grumpy old man.
Kamek - Kevin Michael Richardson is usually known for his deep voices, but he has done voices that sound pretty much like Kamek before.
Captain understands was amazing and deserved much more than what it got. No one saw it and it made me sad. My entire family loved it!
As much as I enjoyed the books, I'll admit I thought the movie was going to be terrible. Saw it on streaming a few months ago, and while it was certainly different in parts and mixed up a lot of the different stories in the series, it was great! Did the books justice while being its own thing!
3:20 not gonna lie though, the more ive thought about it the more it fits PERFECTLY! Chris Prat may not have sounded right at first, but he has the right tambre, just needs to put on *some kind* of accept, could be brooklin, could be itialian, I have no clue what hes gonna do but its gonna sound like Mario. Charlie Day as luigi I think we all knew was a fit. Jack Black as bowser is simply amazing, it doesnt even really *need* to sound all gravely and grumbly, im sure he will make it his own. And for toad.... Idk anyone can play Toad if they dont want to use their vocal chords for the forseeable future.
I'm just waiting for the memes. I feel like we're at least going to get some GOOD memes. Also I've mostly heard (and kinda agree) that Illumination's films are just mediocre, not terrible, which is way worse imo. Usually when a film's terrible it would at least make it at least worth watching ironically or critically. When a film's mediocre, who gives a crap.
Like I’d much rather watch Jurassic park 3 than the minions, but the minions are a better movie
The big factors that will decide if this film makes money is
1. Are we still in A Pandamic
2. What animated films are released around it
3. How the movie is received on it first week
The movie will be competing with Avatar 2 and Aquaman 2 so there's that.
Yeah, if that his all a thing then, they should definitely push it behind.
Nintendo's other franchises become insurance. Please let me explain:
When Mario does well, there will be sequels and spinoffs. Donkey Kong will happen before Luigi's Mansion or Captain Toad, but they're all up there as probable. I could even see a Super Princess Peach or Paper Mario eventually, but not likely within the first 8 movies in the series. Once it's an established series of movies, sales will start to trail off a bit eventually, but it will be a long while before that happens. To reinvigorate interest when it eventually does, another Nintendo property will be tried next. This will be Zelda, because obviously. This creates the need to tie the movie franchises together because that will allow them to also act as marketing for one another, increasing their overall effectiveness. Tying in Detective Pikachu (and whatever sequels it will inevitably get) as well would only be the smart thing to do, and they could probably get Sega on board to bring in movie Sonic (and its coming sequels), giving it a good solid base to work from of several IPs and plenty of movies.
So once they make a Smash Bros movie this way, all of these lesser known characters that are in Smash are now open for getting their own movies. (Most won't and some will only get one, but it makes a few more of them plausible, like Pikmin, which I could see being attempted as just a one-off eventually but becoming the Nintendo Cinematic Universe's equivalent of Minions, resulting in more sequels being made.) Also, Nintendo will want a way to use their Smash Bros IP effectively in the future, and there's no way for the next Smash game to top the current one, so they'll likely have to skip a console or two before releasing the next Smash game with a "back to basics" marketing strategy... But in a movie, they could sell that concept easily once established, and it could become their Avengers.
"But a billion different companies have tried and failed to create cinematic universes" - Yeah, because they all rush it too much and push overarching storylines instead of making each movie its own thing. Marvel's worked because they had enough establishing movies first, and each movie in the set works on its own (except for a couple of the ensemble movies that came in late enough to not need to work on their own anymore). Right now, Illumination isn't focusing on making a shared universe, they're focusing on one movie at a time. That is, coincidentally, the right way to make a shared universe, and the IPs exist to do it, so it's just a matter of long term success to make it eventually happen... And we all know that there will be great financial success here, for all the reasons you talked about in your video.
This will, in turn, feed back into the video games. It makes sense to release a Mario game alongside a Mario movie, right? Hype for either one feeds into the hype for the other, doubling the effect of all marketing for either. (I'll be surprised if the next Mario game doesn't come out around the same time that the movie does, even if they'll be unrelated this time through the cycle... Maybe a Mario Odyssey sequel?)
The result of all of this is that we could wind up someday seeing a Pikmin reboot video game based entirely on a movie version of Pikmin that are a Nintendo's Cinematic Universe's equivalent to Minions... How's that for a cursed monkey's paw wish?
"Why are Disney remakes making so much money?" That's an easy answer, they're cashing in on nostalgia.
I’m so hyped to hear Jack Black as Bowser lol. He’s gonna steal the show! (So are Charlie Day and Seth Rogan!)
I need Jack Black Bowser to have a musical number in the film. I fucking need it.
@@CBreezie ye same
@@CBreezie YES!! Lmao
Seth Rogan is the one that worries me the most, tbh...
@@CBreezie I've been meaning to see if I could use the internet to float the idea by Jack Black to cover the song Ignorance is Bliss by the Jellyfish, a song written in the 90s licensed by Nintendo wherein Bowser sings about a plan to become an oil Tycoon and grind all the Yoshi's into fossil fuel.
I can just hear the angelic sound of Rich Evans beautiful laughter even without sound.
9:21 it's funny to imagine the minions making the background music.
How could it not be huge? It stars Chris Pratt (he’s so cool)
Oh heck yeah we get to learn more about arlo's anatomy!
It’s rare that I go back to the beginning of the spon section, love your ads Arlo! 💙
“Especially Mario himself, who has never spoken more than just short phrases.” Allow me to remind you of the Mario Sports Mix interview with Mario, Mario Teaches Typing 2, the Super Mario’s Nintendo 3DS Tour video, Mario dissing Sony at E3 2007, and Charles Martinet doing special video performances as Mario for malls with Nintendo’s Holiday Mall Experience!
I would actually love a Luigi’s Mansion movie!
Let me just predict the story here, like I think, Illumination would do it:
The movie starts off with Mario and Luigi working for some plumbing company in a city, with Spike being their boss.
Luigi is a coward, Mario is a classic "guy-who-wants-more-from-his-life", who is a little self-centred.
Eventually they find a portal or something and get to the mushroom Kingdom, where Princess Peach gets/got kidnapped by Bowser.
Bowser is a goofball villain, with Kamek as his smarter, more competent but loyal right hand and an army of minion-like goombas.
Mario and Luigi go on a journey through some dangerous areas towards Bowser's castle.
On the way they get attacked by some of Bowser's minions and also meet DK, who is your typical big, strong guy with a heart of gold.
Eventually they reach their goal, where they have a battle with Bowser, in which Luigi overcomes his cowardness and Mario overcomes his self-centredness, completing their arcs.
After Bowser's defeat they return to Peach's castle, do a dance party (cause Illumination)
Happy End!
16:52 I would unironically love a Toad movie XD
I think that what most people may not know about Illumination’s goal of making cost-efficient films is how they are really made. While the character design, writing, and storyboards are done in California, the actual animation process is outsourced via Illumination Studios Paris or formerly, Illumination Mac Guff.
This is in stark contrast to Disney, Pixar, and Dreamworks, which often has movies budgeted in around $100-$150 million due to the animation process being done in California.
Also, Illumination also decides very early on if a film should go straight into development or be scrapped instead of spending years on pre-production like the other animation houses have often done.
So for the past 4 years, I have been trying to create a Super Mario Bros. Fan Film out of Pure Spite for Illumination. My friends & I have been hard at work creating a Fun Movie. Not a Stock Image Movie, a GOOD movie. I am very proud of what Wii have accomplished and I hope that you all will feel the same once it’s complete! (The Film will be available on my TH-cam channel “Water Me Loan 64” & our team channel “Fruit Salad Films”!)
When and where can Wii see it?
So how would Wii be able to keep up with the development of this movie?
Could Wii get any sneak peeks?
I gotta see this--!
It's not official so it doesn't matter.
I honestly kind of wanna hear more of Arlo's film industry takes.
I honestly really relate to Arlo’s sense of humor. One of my fav channels!
17:03 might be the funniest moment of any Arlo video for me, lmao. That face.
Well obviously it’s cause Charlie day is playing Luigi, just like how the Lorax did well because of Danny Devito.😆
Both Charlie Day as Luigi and Danny DeVito as the Lorax make sense ngl
PLEASE do a video about all these hypothetical spin-offs and what they could be about.
17:05 I love that you are just floored at the possibility.
Fun to come back to this video with the knowledge that this movie became the highest grossing animated film ever within in barely two months of being in theaters
A Luigi's Mansion movie. Arlo, you have brought light and life to my existence. Thank you for thinking of the next logical step in a Mario Movie franchise before anyone else.
I'm not the only one who thinks Mark Hamill is fit to voice King Boo
Imagine if the Mario Movie opens with The Minions shouting Illumination (as usual) only for Toad to appear and throw a red shell at them to shut them up. I'm sure That would be hilarious for both people who like and dislike those Minions.
Update: The “Super Mario” movie just got pushed to April 2023. A quick glance at BoxOfficeMojo shows the competition will be much less stiff than the Avatar 2 and Shazam 2 it would’ve faced this December.
A Luigi's Mansion Ghost Busters lookalike would be funny. Luigi and his ghost dog, then throw in Wario and Waluigi so Luigi has a team and will likely get made fun of a LOT (again)
Oddly, I recently wrote about this for a college economics paper. The benefit of brand extensions like remakes and sequels is to reduce risk to production companies. Remakes and sequels don't often make more money than a successful original IP but they consistently do well enough at the box office to pay for themselves. I think the mario film will probably be incredibly successful but I have no doubt that it will at least make the producers their money back and cover Chris Pratt's salary.
My question with these kinds of situations is if a company has an IP as popular as Mario, guaranteed to make money in most scenarios, why not go with an animation studio that would make a more critics-pleasing movie, like DreamWorks (also part of Universal)? Companies take a safe bet, and they spoil it in a bid to make it even safer, it seems.
OK. That moment at 17:00 REALLY got me. I do think that could be quite good but all of your spinoff ideas were golden.
It's enjoyable watching Arlo talking about the movie industry!
If the reactions to the trailer were anything I can't wait to see how people compare the Sonic movie to the Mario movie after a few weeks. they both grab the people's attention with commercials alone
Mario and Sonic at the Hollywood Games
I fully agree, there is no way this movie is gonna fail. No matter how good or bad it is, it's gonna make all the money in the world. They could just c/p the 90's movie plot into CGI and I'm pretty sure it would still make bank for everyone involved.
Ngl. This could be the first movie to break 4 billion in box office sales
Love the video and everything you do. And understand that it may have been stressful lately. But I really hope arlocast is not gone forever. It made my week every time.
7:42 I’m glad Arlo/Kane knows about the absolute magnificence of the Captain Underpants movie!
I hope they make a new 3D Mario to coincide with the movie, Bowsers Fury was made by Nintendo of America, so its a possibility.
wait what? was Bowsers Fury made by and American team?
This just gives me Ratchet and Clank flashbacks. Please don't put movie scenes in my games.
I got so invested in this casetify ad I thought the video was over before the actual content even started
Arlo should do more movie discussions, I’d watch every single one
Personally, I think the movie’s gonna be awesome, and I can’t wait to see it. Yeah, it may feel weird hearing Mario speak so much, and I’m still a smidge worried about how Chris Pratt’s gonna voice him, but I am here for this movie nonetheless! Couple of side notes: I’m likely one of very few people that loved the Lion King remake, and I died laughing when you gushed over a possible Luigi’s Mansion movie. Never stop being you, Arlo!
I’d say this will surpass Sonic and Detective Pikachu due to the fact it’s a complete CG film. Every single video game movie has been a live-action insert “these creatures live in our real world” or “this character came through a portal into our world so now they just exist with people”. To have a video game movie that’s like a multi-million dollar super long cutscene, that would open the doors to many similar video game movies.
PLEASE let the Luigi’s Mansion become a reality. I’d say 2028 - 2030, maybe!
Well, I mean, that could still be the case for this movie, we really don't know much about it, haha
Not if it's bad it won't and as someone pointed out in the comments it does have some serious competition if they keep the movie where it is. So if it's bad Mario won't just be able to coast by on guiliability.
And then a zelda movie where we save Marin from being trapped as a seagull forever !
I was just watching reaction compilations of the cast reveal and now Arlo uploads this
The mario movie made a billion dollars
Dude as long as it’s not boring I’m going to love it
My sense of humour is Absolute Nonsense, Chris Pratt can day Wahoo and I’ll be in tears laughing
The irony of getting a sing 2 ad on this video is awesome
“If it’s a numbered Star Wars sequel…”
I see Arlo remembered Solo, a Star Wars Story. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
