A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

It's been a long while since you've been around, UE5000. I'm sure in that time you've honed your art/animation skills, so I'm really looking forward to seeing anything you might put out. Knowing especially that you're taking the '60s-era Disney animal films to inspiration gives me something to imagi...

Hopefully this will be the last Mario Party game. The franchise sucks as it is already. The franchise has certainly had its lows, but when it's strong it's always something fun to return to. Nintendo waited nearly five years between the last Mario Party and this one specifically to give the series ...

The film really is a pleasure, though certainly not as guilty for some as for others. We acknowledge its flaws and feel that its strengths far outweigh them and make for a much more enjoyable experience. We appreciate you posting this article here. It really was a good read that really tapped into w...

From the Company's eyes: We're angry that a movie no one really watches doesn't get a extended cut so we constantly whine to Disney in emails while completely rigging the rating systems for IDMB and Amazon so it'll be higher. :twisted: This is just how it's done. Stepping on toes is the only thing ...

Serum wrote:A little bit off topic, but here's a movie written by Jennewein and Parker from 1992-- this is presumably what they did after getting fired from "Super Mario Bros."

They weren't fired. They were just let go along with the rest of the production following director Beeman's departure.

Not good enough, we deserve an extended cut in high definition. We really need to make Disney see why they have to release the movie as it was originally intended to be seen. I see a lot of new faces on the board posting their five star reviews on Amazon and ten star reviews on IMDb-- if we keep up...

There is such a thing as over-thinking a series explicitly stated by Miyamoto to not be about story. I think your theories are better suited for the Wild Mass Guessing page of TVtropes.

I've been playing a lot of Mario Party 2 since my birthday, so there's definitely a nostalgic feeling when it comes to this new game coming out. I just like the way it looks. It seems to be a fresh take on the franchise, which is something it desperately needed.

Star Fox, I'd love to see it as a CGI movie. Star Fox would have been a great property to see adapted to film in the '90s or even a cliche-filled action series. However, I don't agree that it should be in CGI. I would much rather have seen a '90s adaptation done with the puppets shown in the origin...

I didn't really enjoy this scene as much as the first. It just doesn't hold my interest, though that's likely due to how clunky and unnatural the dialogue reads. Dialogue should be smooth and concise and often fragmented to truly capture how people talk. I also found it confusing when Mario mimics t...

The chapter does read a lot more smoothly now, so it's a good change. You just need to keep everything in focus so that you don't slip into the completely insane or inane.

Looking forward to seeing them, mate.

The original version is not remastered like the 2004 update.

I never really thought about it until I became a fan of this movie a couple years ago. I think it makes much more sense as a last name or even just a title, much like King Bowser "Koopa", (as in, "King of the Koopas")

Thanks, everyone! I don't have as much to share as I did last year, but I still had a really good time. On Monday (the day before) I just invited over some friends and family for a few games of Mario Kart 64 and Mario Party 2 followed by an enchilada dinner. Everyone stayed until about 3am, spending...

Perhaps, perhaps, but that's another point entirely. I'm just talking about their "iconic appearance," as the point was made, and that it could probably have been done a LOT sooner. I'm saying that if the opening had been reworked more fully we could have possibly seen Mario and Luigi in ...

When it comes to the playable characters, would you guys want just Mario and Luigi? or some of the other characters as unlockables? A decent line up would be Mario,Luigi,Goomba Toad and Big Birtha. Maybe have a cheat where you could play as King Koopa :p It'd be interesting to play as Daisy explori...

It's still in the process of being made, though a few trailers have come out.

Stars Alexander Skarsgard, Liam Neeson and Rihanna, among others.

Just to play devil's advocate, they could have had Mario and Luigi use their coveralls to investigate Scapelli's tampering with the digging site, which was pretty early on, and had them wear the costumes from there. The only problem then would be the night club scene, which could probably be gotten...

Anyone else notice Marceline seems able to age herself? In some episodes she's skinny and undeveloped and then in others (especially the one where they have to form a band to open the door) she suddenly is curvy and looks 20. Never paid enough attention to notice, but that's probably just different...

Adventure Time is a cartoon that has many parallels to Mario, It's a cartoon that is fun for alot of demographics. The show is about Finn the Human and Jake the magical Dog who go on random adventures. Finn and Jake are like the Mario Bros, They have to Rescue many Princess's mainly Princess Bubble...

Not exactly Primal Rage, but they are currently trying to adapt Rampage.

I watched through almost the entire series and felt it was pretty good. I didn't enjoy that practically every iconic female Nintendo character became either a stripper/prostitute/junky girlfriend, but other than that the concept held well and it was all shot together professionally.

Jazz Jackrabbit in animated form as done by Don Bluth, director of hit animated movies like All Dogs Go to Heaven, An American Tail and The Land Before Time. I'd give my right nut to see that. Jazz Jackrabbit was essentially already adapted into a cartoon series with Bucky O'Hare and the Toad Wars ...

The problem is that there really is no legitimate reason to hate the film. This isn't The Last Temptation of Christ where it was your (perceived) god-given duty to criticize the film; rather, it's an adaptation of a video game that most people had only experienced for a little as 8 years. Even then,...

Do not like the news story poster's opinion of SMB movie. We're used to it by now. Every time a "unique new direction" is taken with the games it's inevitably compared to the film as superior; the last big example was the GTA "Brothers Mario" video , which took the Internet by s...

Ecco the Dolphin would make a pretty cool transcendental art film about evolution and self-identity. It wouldn't even need human actors. It'd even work as either live-action or animated. Legend of Legaia would be an awesome anime series since it deals with much the same themes that the Japanese exp...

Christ. The difference is unbelievable. It just makes you wonder what they could do with Super Mario Bros.

Also, the project has now raised $31,000+ of the needed $10,000 via Kickstarter.

You forgot Planet of the Apes . Personal favorite only because of the makeup effects and costume design. But, you're right; Burton is a hack. His films have had little substance for some time as he seems to be going bigger than he should. I'd be curious of a Beetlejuice -era Burton take on Super Mar...

I'm only surprised that we haven't brought this topic up before, especially as it's become more and more clear with each passing year and each new video game movie. http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/videogamemovies_8852.JPG Which video game-to-film adaptations do you feel are "worse&...

Nice poster! A bit overdone, but I like the visuals and costume-design. Hopefully it comes together on-film.

You shouldn't do it because I or anyone else asked. It's your story and we're only hear to offer our thoughts. You take what advice you like and ignore what you feel isn't necessary.

Phlibbit has a good collection of the film's many posters and has been meaning to scan them for some time. It may not happen soon, but it will happen eventually.

What you're describing is basically panspermia with a sci-fi twist; it's a theory that doesn't necessarily negate the idea of evolution, which has already been proven in some forms.

Has anyone noticed the striking similarities the ill-fated "Dragonball" live action film has to the "Super Mario Bros." movie? Both seem to have suffered from too many script-changes and studio pressure, whereas "Super Mario Bros." turned out fairly well as far as movi...

So I was visiting my local best buy and I decided to look for the Super Mario Bros movie on DVD, (Even though I already have it.) and I was happy to see that they had 3 huge rows filled with just SMB alone. Best Buy is fully loaded with it, maybe this is a new step towards that blu-ray release. Yea...

Those human-dino hybrid effects are kind of funky looking. I think it would fit the freaky world of Dinohattan nicely, actually, but they would definitely creep people out. But, hell, I get the creeps from the ACTUAL Goomba's in the game, so... If anything, the "dino-humans" would have at...

This was a great update. It's been something we've held onto for a long while, but have finally gotten the chance to share. It's unfortunately going to be the last update for at least a few weeks, too, so I hope it tides you guys over. Keep up the discussion!

Mario in a casual outfit. Notice I have a pallet swapped version of Bob Hoskins' jacket.

Very nice. Your Mario looks like a fun guy. I hope we see him mostly outside of the iconic overalls/jumpsuit and more in your "casual" outfit.

Disney seems to be too busy going after people who make props based on Marvel comics properties these days to do much else sadly. Considering all the other movies they've put out that are cult following movies (let's face it The Blackhole wasn't a smash hit) or their direct to dvd stuff you would t...
