- * The film was featured by GamesRadar on their 'Top 10 Best Video Game Movies' as the fifth best video game adaptation of all time! This is not the first time the film has been promoted from 'worst adaptation' lists, but it does represent a growing trend of pop culture groups gaining a newfound appreciation for it. It can certainly be said that it at least fares better in terms of technical quality and heart than many of its contemporaries.
* David Oxford, a regular member of our fan community as well as a contributor to both The Examiner and Poison Mushroom, put together an article discussing the film's unusual and sometimes disturbing coloring book. This article was picked up by numerous gaming websites, including Destructoid, GoNintendo and Kotaku. Give them a read and have a good laugh at the film's expense!
* Finally, today is also the birthday of key makeup effects artist Jeff Goodwin! It was his makeup direction that brought to life the characters of Koopa and Lena, as well as many others in the film. Be sure to give our interview with him another read to commemorate the occasion!
