In November, we reported on a rumor that Nintendo was in talks with Universal about making an animated Super Mario movie with Illumination Entertainment (the studio behind Despicable Me and the Minions). Tonight, Nintendo officially announced on Twitter that the movie is indeed happening, with iconic Nintendo developer Shigeru Miyamoto on board as a producer. On an interesting note, though, the tweet specifically says it’s “a movie starring Mario,” not “a Mario movie,” so it’s possible that this will be something totally disconnected from the proper Mario canon—which is absolutely the sort of weirdly protective thing Nintendo would do.
