Weird to think they had both Mario and Sonic in their hands at a time in a parallel universe we're getting their Mario, Sonic, and their spinoff movies on alternating years.

[@ChiruKobra]

The moment you said Genndy Tartakovsky, I had to stop for a sec. The thought of a Tartakovsky directed Mario movie, considering his pedigree with stuff like Dexter's Lab, Samurai Jack, and what he was going to do with the Popeye movie... Oh, what could've been.

I just find it funny how Nintendo decides to make the super Mario movie with illumination owned by Universal who decades ago sued Nintendo over Donkey Kong

[@JSChronicle489]

If this was actually made, Nintendo would’ve officially partnered with PlayStation.

You say officially, but technically not Playstation is only a single branch and is separate from the film division. So it would not have been a partnership with PlayStation at all.

How much you wanna bet Universal is gonna wanna do a Mario cinematic universe? I don’t think it’s gonna happen, but with how popular it is, it might happen.

[@zillauniverse7208]

Yeah with Avi Arad heavily involved it’s probably a good thing this didn’t get made especially given that this was after he bastardized The Amazing Spider-Man movies and even if Genndy Tartakovsky would have directed it Arad would have most likely interfered with the project and ruin it.

[@benmalsky9834]

[@mutalix]

And now we have Nintendo and Sony pictures making a Zelda movie, ever since the Nintendo and Sony fiasco of 1991, never thought I'd ever see them partner up. Wonder what it means for future collaboration.

[@AshXXMayftw]

I appreciate the determination, but if that had gotten made, we would have never gotten the current movie we have today. And I know critics weren't a fan of it, but as a life long Mario fan, I really, really loved it. I hope this new movie gets a sequel, and maybe they'll be interested in pursuing more movies in the future.

I love Nintendo but they’ve always been the biggest pansies when it’s come down to leaks. They’re like that obnoxious teacher that cancels a party for the whole class because one student acted up. The smash bros thing still bugs me to this day, Sakurai won’t do another “subspace emissary” cinematic story because he got real pissy about people leaking cutscenes…after the game came out.

[@G.L.999]

To be fair, things like the Subspace Emissary should've never been uploaded to yt in the first place by people who had first hand experience in it. The people who did that should've kept their pride eyes shut and waited till every region of the world got to play and experience the game first; THEN upload them after a few months once each region of the world has the game in their hands!

[@dwainputnam9374]

Loved this video! But! First off, Why? Secondly, Sony and Nintendo were rivals back then since the scrapped idea of a cd-rom add-on to the SNES.

Not all Hope is gone. There’s a illumination, Mario movie

[@frankiewong.]

I wonder what the plot was like

[@HemmasStudios_]

I wonder about this myself, but I also wonder how much of the plot was set in stone with there likely being such a short time between closing the deal and Nintendo shutting everything down

[@aurahoneydew9607]

Knew about that but Sony's Pokemon and Smash Bros is quite a shock! Weird no one wants to touch Earthbound/Mother that seems like it would be perfect for an animated movie. Especially part 2 or 3.

[@HemmasStudios_]

I never thought about Mother, but yeah. Mother would have the potential to be a great adaptation.

I'm here again after the announcement of Sony's live action Zelda movie, so I might as well say: "IT'S A ME SUPER MARIO, ON THE PS4! WAHOO!"

[@daniexists6]

And then Sony just got the Zelda rights again, what the hell.

[@jmg2374]

Tbh, this had a lot of potential, like the mcu for Nintendo and the smaah Bros movie, which is like the Avengers movie, but since Illuminations mario movie is destroying the box office i guess mabye in the future we will get solo Nintendo character movies than we could possibly get the smash bros movie just done by Universal

I'm glad this didn't go through. Just like how I'm glad their partnership with Sony during the SNES add-on days didn't go through. Otherwise, Sony would've tried to absorb Nintendo into Sony as a 1st party developer for them through a loop-hole they made through their contract; which was designed to be rejected. Creating the 'Habsburg Ultimatum' Effect!

[@HemmasStudios_]

"If I ever become a KZbinr..." An unsolicited piece of advice- you can never become a KZbinr unless you *just start making KZbin videos.* Everybody walks the same path with this: When you first start, you're going to make videos for a long time before they're watchable and other people want to watch them, but you can't get past that period unless you just start creating. Give it a try, *go for it! :)*
