I like the actors for Luigi, Peach, Bowser, and Toad, but Chris Pratt as Mario is certainly a choice.
Jack Black as Bowser?
Sounds more fitting than Chris Pratt as Mario
Yeah... so a Mario film doesn't need big voice actors to sell it, they know that right?
I don't know about this...
They went for pretty high profile names.
This cast honestly just seems like a giant meme and I'm here for it
Hhhhmmmmm. I hope it works out, but I'm not impressed.
Chris Pratt voice doesn't match Mario, sorry but ths is a miscast, if you've got an animated movie you really do not need famous people to do voicing.
Out of all the actors that were cast for the live action Mario film, Chris Pratt is one of them.
If you listen carefully you can hear twitter uses explode in rage.
Why Crisp Rat? D:
I think Anya Taylor-Joy would be great as Peach! Not so sure about Chris Pratt as Mario though...
Looks more like a cast of Sausage Party. That will be very interesting to see.
For a moment there I forgot this is animated movie and was pretty much in WTF sentiment...after realizing my mistake I'm somewhat ambivalent about lot of that cast, but can't say I watched anything voiced by most of them.
His IMDB says that he also voiced a character in the Lego movies 1 and 2.
The lead character no less.
looks exciting!
before u give chris pratt the benefit of the doubt!
people were sceptical with heath ledgers portrayal of the joker before the movie hasn't even released yet,
maybe chris will give a legendary performance of everyones fave plumber!
