The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) directed by Aaron Horvath, Michael Jelenic, and Pierre Leduc
Mario (Christ Pratt) and Luigi (Charlie Day) do their usual plumbing heroics in the Mushroom Kingdom, soon discovering the cute dinosaur Yoshi (Donald Glover). They are all invited to Princess Peach's (Anya Taylor-Joy) birthday party at her castle. During the party, Peach discovers that her sister Rosalina (Brie Larson) has been kidnapped by Bowser Junior (Benny Safdie), who wants to free his dad (Jack Black) and rule, or maybe destroy, the universe. Bowser is a shrunken prisoner of Mario and Luigi. They take him on the rescue mission where they have many strange adventures on many odd planets in their galaxy.
Even at home on a television, this movie is visually amazing, with a bright color palette and a lot of the details from various Mario games thrown in. The plot is mostly a structure to hang on the visuals and the gags, which do come at a fast pace. I enjoyed it on that level, though I imagine I won't retain much of it a week later.
Mildly recommended--your knowledge of the Mario games will go a long way in your appreciation of the movie.
