The animated film was first reported by the Wall Street Journal back in 2018 that said Nintendo and Universal were close to a deal on a new Super Mario movie. One that won't be so weird and live-action.
The film is another collaboration between Nintendo and Universal which previously worked together to bring famous Nintendo characters and IP to Universal Studios amusement parks.
There is currently no release date announced for the Super Mario animated movie.
