Film Information
Super Mario Bros. is a 1993 American science fiction comedy adventure fantasy film based on the Japanese video game series of the same name by Nintendo. It was directed by the couple Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel and distributed by The Walt Disney Studios through Hollywood Pictures. The story revolves around the titular Mario brothers, as they find a parallel universe, ruled by the ruthless dictator King Koopa, who seeks to merge the two dimensions together so that he can rule both worlds, leaving it up to Mario and Luigi to join forces with Princess Daisy, the daughter of the world's displaced King, to stop Koopa. Although it grossed $20.9 million, it was considered a box office bomb due to its production cost, and it was criticized for many things, such as its storyline, characters, dialogue, and unfaithfulness to the source material. The production of the film was also not well-received by actors and crew, partially due to the studio wanting a more family friendly film while the directors wanted it to be more adult-like. Years later, however, commentators called it a cult film, and has a couple of fan-made projects and even a Blu-ray release in the UK.
