The first trailer for The Super Mario Bros Movie has been met with an overwhelmingly positive reception, despite the ongoing debate around Chris Pratt voicing Mario.
The trailer was shown last week as part of a special Nintendo Direct presentation, and shows two scenes: Bowser invading a penguin clan’s castle, and Mario arriving in the Mushroom Kindom for the first time. It’s the latter section that has garnered the most discussion, since it gives viewers the first brief sample of Chris Pratt’s performance as Mario. While Pratt’s voice acting appears to be divisive, across YouTube the trailer has been getting significantly more likes than dislikes.
