A year and a half after it hit theaters, Super Mario Bros. the Movie, the highly anticipated adaptation of animation studio Illumination’s popular video game license, is now available on Netflix and is among the top 10 most popular feature films this week. Seen by the subscribers of the platform.
4036 stars out of 5
In a real relief to fans struggling to recover from the first live-action film dedicated to the Nintendo mascot (still considered one of the worst movies ever since its release in 1993), this New Mario adventure on the big screen has largely managed to raise the bar and convince the public .
The film definitely benefits from 4,036 stars out of 5 from AlloCiné viewers, but also and above all, exceptional at the box office: having collected 1.3 billion greenbacks worldwide, it is simply one of the biggest successes. animation.
Fun and rhythmic adaptation
Very effective and exceptionally well paced, this one hour and 32 minute animated attraction follows the adventures of Mario and Luigi, two brothers who dream of making their fortune by opening their own plumbing business. But as they try to fix a huge leak in the heart of the city, they stumble upon a mysterious green pipe that takes them straight to a fabulous new world.
As fun as the plumber’s adventure can be on the console, cleverly adapted by the artists of Illumination (Nintendo consultants diligently followed the grain), so Super Mario Bros is a real success that Netflix visitors are currently praising in streaming.
Given the success of this first feature film, new adaptation projects related to other Nintendo licenses should no doubt see the light of day soon. Maro’s new adventure is already scheduled to hit theaters on April 1, 2026 (and this is no joke) anyway!
