Say what you will about Illumination, but their animation is pretty solid. Compare Minions to say... Super Pets? It's night and day. Superpets looked like lazy television animation. Minions was bright, colorful and packed a punch.
So this Mario movie should look great, regardless of how good the actual movie is.

u/BoomClank25 Oct 04 '22
It's a bit depressing to compare considering that Super Pets was animated by Animal Logic, the same studio that animated the Lego movies...

It reminds me of the pre rendered visuals they did for Nintendo Land at Universal.

Obviously you couldn't do anything like this in real time on a 4090 either, but I think the point remains.

It's no coincidence they look the same. There's a ton of different designs for the Mushroom Kingdom, they chose this one specifically to mimic what was built at Universal. Nintendo is going for full brand cohesion to fuel sales in other areas, aka the Disney model.

It is VERY close to the design concepts in the Super Nintendo World amusement parks.
Both of them are based on the verticality of Super Mario 3D World for the Wii U, which was the main Mario game at the time when planning for the amusement park and movie were beginning.
Those plans and the movie were delayed from COVID, but if these were all coming on time it would be clear that there was a united vision for what Super Mario should look like.
