Getting to see this hit theaters this April is fantastic. It successfully builds on the original's adventure format while giving us exciting new settings to explore on the big screen. It is an undeniably fun theatrical experience for the month.

The film brings back Chris Pratt and Anya Taylor-Joy in their leading roles. Since it is a direct sequel to 'The Super Mario Bros. Movie', relying on the same core voices makes sense for continuity. We will see how audiences continue to respond to their performances in these new galactic settings.

Taking Mario and Princess Peach beyond the Mushroom Kingdom was exactly what the franchise needed to keep things fresh. Introducing these new environments builds perfectly on the adventure format we already love. I am so glad they maintained the fast-paced structure of the original film.
