Not gonna lie, this explanation makes a lot of sense. They're portraying characters to promote their business, and obviously, they're not going to put on the voices the entire time. And yeah, Charles Martinet's Mario voice is best used in short bursts, not something you'd want to sit through 90 minutes of.
Like Charles cant perform as an actor and read lines normally !! This is total non sence.. the only argument is goddamn money!!! Cos this bastard bekieve that guy pratt is better known in cinema.. no one can repoace Charles, NO ONE!!
Those short bursts were Charles Martinent not chris pratt and I been saying that before the movie came out. But no one believed me. I guess that was done for the parts that Chris couldnt do and also remind the audience of the original mario ALONGSIDE with the cameo of Charles Martinet of jumpman aka guisepee and also Marios dad but marios dad being a regularly talking charles and jumpman being the original mario still.
@@chazzywaz Okay but Mickey, Donald and Goofy are also known for their voices, and they COULD get annoying if they were only "I LOVE YOU FRIENDS, HO-HA", [angry duck noises], and "GAWRSH"... But they're not JUST that. These are just the catchphrases/things they say that you think of first, but any movie portraying one or more of them gets their voice to simmer down WHILE STILL BEING RECOGNIZABLE when a longer dialogue is needed. Mario is all WAHOOS and IT'S A ME because that's all the GAMES need, but that doesn't mean his voice would have to be that ALL movie long. I'm totally sure that Charles Martinet could have done a performance that's both recognizably Mario AND YET perfectly sustainable and not annoying for the whole movie.
It works just fine for full dialogue and I actually think they sounded very charming. They could have had Charles probably tone down the accent and sound a little more full dialogue friendly, but what they did do works
I love chris pratt as mario and he brought a good voice for him plus he and charlie day really stand out in those characters and used in the original super mario cartoons dave! 😂❤😊💚
Oh I get it! Just like how Buzz in Toy Story was voiced by Tim Allen, Buzz in Lightyear was voiced by Chris Evans, cause the guy in the movie doesn’t have have the same voice as the toy.
Unfortunately haven't watched the movie in English since I'm from Italy and it was available only in Italian (looking forward to rewatch it in English and also Japanese at least as soon as the DVDs come out) but yeah, when they revealed Chris Pratt was voicing Mario and especially after hearing him in trailers I knew he was a good choice exactly because of what you mentioned in this video (like I said, can't wait to hear his and everyone else's voices throughout the full movie when I have the chance)!
I still never under the argument that the voice would be to annoying when we have multiple Mickey mouse films, and a minions movie. People really overestimated how "annoying" Mario's voice would be in a 2 hour film. Like if this was a genuine argument don't you think most people would start turning voices off in games like Mario Odyssey or would just mute their T.Vs? Hell wouldn't Nintendo at this point just replace the Mario VA??? Plus why are you even going to go into a Mario movie just to complain about the voice he's had for years? I do like that they have an in movie explanation but the argument for them not using Charles being that the voice would be to annoying is just dumb imo
(suggestions: listen to voices in a certain "Super Mario Bros. Super Show" TV program: listen to voices in a certain "Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3." TV program; listen to voices in a certain "Super Mario World" TV program) (note: these suggestions were made by someone who had always liked Mario voices, Luigi voices, Toad voices, King Bowser Koopa voices, and Princess Peach Toadstool voices in the "Super Mario Bros. Super Show" mentioned earlier in this message more than other such voices in other mediums (including video games))
Still a huge slap to the face for Martinet & Kelly, they could have just kept them but tweaked their voices a little bit Example: Peach had a lower voice in Mario 64
Interestingly, Martinet plays M & L’s father in the movie and the voice he used there would’ve been very well suited to Mario in the film. I guess they wanted someone younger? Or more likely, someone with more ⭐️ Star Power ⭐️
Fans: we want the popular Mario voices. Film makers: you willing to sit through 90 minutes of them doing that instead of just short snippets like in the games? Fans begrudgingly agreeing: you win this round.
They're not really fans if they somehow find Mario's voice too annoying for 90 minutes but give a free pass to Mickey Mouse and Spongebob. Martinet spoke for hours in the old PC games and trade shows, that's how the game voice was originally designed.
The movie did so much to "stick it" to the people who were "skeptical." Mario and Luigi not having Italian accents, Bowser stealing the Power Star and Luigi instead of Princess Peach, etc.
I don't mind Chris Pratt and the other voice actors for the movie, but I am miffed that Hollywood still tries to think what fans want and still seems out of touch about it; much like Michael Bay wanting Hugo Weaving over Frank Welker for 4 TF Movies.
@@lightdarksoul2097 No disrespect to Hugo, but Frank could pull it off. Dudes got years of experience, and thanks the TF Prime, we know he could deliver a more menacing voice.
@@LowellLucasJr. I think he could but I'm not sure if he'd want to right? I mean it would be weird for a character you played for so long to say something like You will now DIIIIE. But skill wise yeah Hugo is better just meant if personality wise if he'd wanna do it you know?
LS Mark suggested that Charles Martinet's Cameo Character in the restaurant could've looked at the Camera and said something like "It's a me, the real Mario! That guy is just a faker!" Or something like that.
mario and luigi are not voice by chris pratt and charlie day in the plumbing ad. charles martinet was cast for the voiceover. you seemed to miss a part of the scene after the ad plays where a man playing a jump-man arcade machine named giuseppe (voiced by charles martinet) speaks in the classic mario voice, cameoing him charles and providing an explanation for who did the voice for the ad.
"This looks better than the unwatchable super Mario bros movie from 1993" (remembers having had often liked and enjoyed a certain "Super Mario Bros" movie dated 1993*) (*feelings of self (the creator of this message) expressed in a narrative way)
You say "90 minutes of cartoon voices would get annoying really fast". But Mickey Mouse movies and the Goofy Movie exist. Martinet spoke as Mario for hours in the early Mario PC games and trade shows, that's how Mario's game voice was originally designed.
I did not sau "90 minutes of cartoon voices" would be annoying. I said 90 minutes of the overly-cartoony MARIO voice would. There HAVE been Mickey and Goofy movies, but their dialog is ALWAYS kept to a minimum, and they are almost always relegated to cameos or small bit-parts. Movies and educational video games are VASTLY different - surely you can understand this. I very much doubt anyone stuck around at the trade show interactive thing for more than 10-15 minutes.
@@DaveLeeDownUnder In a Goofy Movie, Goofy talks a lot as he shares the role of main character with his son. He's able to talk seriously during emotional scenes (look up Goofy Movie Hot Tub scene on UA-cam) as its a story about mid-life parenting and teenage angst with serious moments. Professional voice actors like Goofy's and Mario's can extend their range so its the same cartoon voice, but serious or sad tones when needed.
To be fair... Goofy doesn't even have that much of a heightened cartoon voice. It's pretty normal, except for a few little alliterations. 90 minutes of Mario - one of the most heightened cartoon voices around would be annoying. So would 90 minutes of Mickey Mouse - exactly why Disney has basically never done it in nearly 100 years. I don't need to "look up" Goofy Movie. I'm well acquainted with it. I saw it in the theatre on first release, grew up with it, and own it.
Think about it for a second, this doesn't EXPLAIN anything at all. It just flips the thing on its head and tries to shoehorn a justification for the video game voices in the story of the movie. I find it way worse than just going with a different voice without "explanation". It's more like "the video games were just an act, this was always the real voice".
A toned down Brooklyn Italian accent or by a younger voice actor would have been nice. Somewhere in between the old voice and the new one by Chris Pratt would have been better. I have nothing against Pratt, but casting went way too American sounding, it took part of Mario’s and Luigi’s personality away.
Chris Pratt + Charlie Day Ruined Mario/Luigi’s Character In That Movie. Charles Martinet Has Mario + Luigi’s True Voice & He’s The One That Should’ve Voiced Em In The Movie Just Like He Has In Many Mario Games. I Love Charles Martinet So Much Better Than Chris Pratt + Charlie Day. I Only Like Chris In Jurassic World + Lego Movie.

Those voices are far more iconic and work more as "not-annoying".

thank you for telling me
Dave I have a question. Are you gotta do the evolution of Mario or find Easter eggs hidden?
Easter Eggs video tomorrow, Mario Evolution likely next week.
This looks better than the unwatchable super Mario bros movie from 1993😊😊
