- I deep dive into the 1993 Super Mario Bros Movie. taking a look at the process Lightmotive went to find the perfect way to adapt the classic game franchise to the big screen, which ended up being an apocalyptic alternate dimension adventure romp with cyberpunk aesthetics, titties and Dennis Hopper which we will also dive into

I'm just going to point out how great one joke is, because nobody ever gets it. When Iggy an Spike come out of the evolution machine, one says a "transformation" has occurred, but the evolved one suggests it is more of a "transfiguration". The joke is that transfiguration is a religious concept, originally, and it refers to the evolution of a human soul becoming a spirit in heaven, or the divine manifesting on earth, it indicates a higher level of change than just the physical, which is what has happened. He's already aware of his higher potential spiritual awareness due to the intelligence boost, as he is now able to imagine a whole lot more and conceive of higher ethical and moral constructions, what many would say is the human quality that separates us from the animals. And they chose to express this awesome concept with a two line gag and not directly address any of it. This movie's greatest crime will always be it's wasted potential to have been so much more.
I will forever have a special place in my heart for this film with Hoskins and Leguizamo’s chemistry being a highlight. I like the movie for what it is and it’s based off arguably my favorite video game character ever. The criticism it got was a little too harsh.
Since the new Super Mario Bros. movie came out last year, do you ever think to do a vid on it? Or draw relations between this film and the new one? That would be awesome.
There really isn’t much to compare because of how vastly different they are. Haven’t watched the new one yet. Just haven’t gotten around to it
That animated intro at the start with the dinosaurs sure looked a lot better when I was a kid. Now, it looks like a dialogue scene from a "cutting edge" Sierra adventure game for PC during that mid 90's period where they inexplicably started making their games uglier through "realistic" digitized graphics and cheap looking animation instead of beautiful pixel art.
It’s sad when the cheap Latin American dinosaur cartoon from the “ye” meme looks better than a major Hollywood production
