I've been saying this for YEARS!!! CGI Mario Bros, either Pixar or Dreamworks. Shrek 1 is a great example of Action and Comedy, and ofcourse Incredibles. I just don't think Pixar would do it because it's not an original Property, and can't imagine Pixar working with someone else's material. Dreamworks, however, I think would be hungry for another Franchise after Shrek.I'm not sure if Dreamworks could handle something like Mario right. It'd be too comedic, some comedy is good but it needs to be sort of action-y.
He's a plumber that fights turtles to save a princess. It should be comedic.
It probably was done after a night of hard drugs too.
The live action one was WAY too dark. They really didn't get what Mario is supposed to beI only see them pulling off the magic from the video games in CGI-Land. We've already seen a live-action version as ugly as can get, and I really don't want to see that again.
I now, I was so depressed when watching the film because of that. Maybe if it wasn't based off of the game and instead have just been an original film, I would've liked it. But... it's not. It's based off of one of the best games of all-time, and even if they put a little effort into trying to be faithful to the series of games, it would've succeeded, despite it's flaws.The live action one was WAY too dark. They really didn't get what Mario is supposed to be
They can't pull off half the stuff Mario does in the game, in reality, so why bother basing it in reality? As soon as I hear confirmation of the fact that they may make this film live-action... AGAIN! Immediate fail. That would've only worked back when the other 'Mario Bros.' film was released, but it didn't, so don't try it again.I agree with some of the above comments. The only way Mario would ever work is as an animated film. Once you start dressing character actors up like goombas, it all goes to ****.
QFT.
Honestly though, I really want to know how the meeting went down at Nintendo when they decided to make a Mario game. I can just see it.
"Okay, so you know that little guy we called Mario in the Donkey Kong games?"
"Yeah."
"Well, just work with me here, imagine this. We give him his own game, and make him an Italian plumber, who goes into the sewers and finds an entire new world now ruled by an evil fire breathing turtle who commands other evil turtles and evil mushrooms...and has captured a Princess that you have to save. Oh, and eating mushrooms and strange plants will be able to make Mario grow bigger and shoot fire out of his hands."
"..............BRILLANT!"
Wasn't he "Jumpman" in Donkey Kong? I remember his girlfriend was Pauline or something.
LOL, its cool.They can't pull off half the stuff Mario does in the game, in reality, so why bother basing it in reality? As soon as I hear confirmation of the fact that they may make this film live-action... AGAIN! Immediate fail. That would've only worked back when the other 'Mario Bros.' film was released, but it didn't, so don't try it again.
(P.S. Sorry Episode29, I mean... I sound like I'm arguing with you, like: "YOU'RE WRONG! HE/SHE'S WRONG! THEY ARE ALL WRONG!!!But me)
