The trailer for "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" has been released and, needless to say, the internet watched it in anticipation for the titular character himself, Mario. Or shall we say, the internet wanted to know how he sound like in the movie.
The trailer does not disappoint as we all get to hear Mario, voiced by Chris Pratt, speak. And many have gone on Twitter to voice their opinion about it.
'The Super Mario Bros. Movie' Trailer
Before we get to all the comments and reactions, let us first talk about the trailer itself. You can watch it in its entirety below:
As you can see from the video above, Bowser, who is voiced by Jack Black, features heavily in the trailer. You also get to see Toad, who is voiced by Keegan-Michael Kay, as well as a brief glimpse of Luigi.
The trailer also gives you a good look at how the Mushroom Kingdom will look like in the film. A report by Eurogamer describes it as "a striking take on the Mushroom Kingdom that's at once familiar and quite unlike anything we've seen in the games before - the vertiginous Toad town beneath a looming Peach's castle being a particular highlight."
And, of course, there is the main character himself, who appears toward the end of the trailer and speaks only two lines. Those two lines are enough to send many a fan to Twitter to voice their reactions.
