"Wahoo!!" Universal and Illumination Animation have debuted an amazing full-length trailer for the epic animated Super Mario Bros. Movie, arriving in theaters worldwide next April. This looks like quite an adventure that might live up to all the decades of Mario legacy. This movie is produced by Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto with Illumination's CEO Chris Meledandri. A plumber named Mario travels through an underground labyrinth with his brother, Luigi, trying to save a captured princess. The movie features the voices of Chris Pratt as Mario, Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Charlie Day as Luigi, Jack Black as Bowser (of course), Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong, Fred Armisen as Cranky Kong, Kevin Michael Richardson as Kamek, and Sebastian Maniscalco as Spike. I am digging all the little details in here - from the Tanooki suit, to Luigi's goofiness, to the fire flower, to the Rainbow Road Mario Kart finale. All the nostalgia! But I still love it. This looks great, seriously, I'm impressed so far.

Here's the first official trailer for Illumination's The Super Mario Bros. Movie, direct from YouTube:
