Nintendo, Universal Pictures, and Illumination have announced the impressive voice cast that they put together for their upcoming Super Mario Bros. animated movie.
This voice cast is actually pretty awesome.

The announcement says, “Each voice actor was cast for their ability to capture the unique spirit of their character.” I like the casting choices and they’re all going to be great in the roles that they were chosen to play!
The movie is being directed by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic, who previously worked on the animated series Teen Titans Go! and the film Teen Titans Go! To the Movies. The script will be written by Matthew Fogel (The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part, Minions: The Rise of Gru). It will be produced by Chris Meledandri of Illumination and Shigeru Miyamoto, Representative Director and Fellow of Nintendo.
