The Super Mario Bros. Movie is set to be released for streaming on Peacock. Fans of the highly successful film can soon enjoy it from the comfort of their own homes.
Having achieved enormous success at the box office, The Super Mario Bros. Movie earned $204 million in just its first five days and an astounding $1.3 billion overall. This achievement makes it the highest-grossing video game adaptation and the second-highest-grossing animated film, second only to Frozen II. The film boasted an impressive voice cast, including Chris Pratt as Mario, Charlie Day as Luigi, Anya Taylor-Joy as Peach, Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong, Jack Black as Bowser, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, and more.
Peacock announced on Thursday that The Super Mario Bros. Movie will start streaming on their platform from August 3rd, exclusively. Subscribers to Peacock will also enjoy bonus content, including behind-the-scenes interviews with the voice cast, an immersive video field guide, and a special lyrical video for the popular song "Peaches."
Fans will be thrilled to have access to the lyrical video of Bowser's song "Peaches," as Black's performance captivated audiences. It is uncertain if this lyrical video will differ from the previously released music video. The video field guide will provide additional insight into the film with various bonus features.
Despite receiving a mediocre response from critics (with only a 58% score on Rotten Tomatoes), The Super Mario Bros. Movie managed to captivate the audience with an impressive 95% score on the same platform. Joshua Kristian McCoy's review for Game Rant describes it as a delightful and nostalgic adventure that appeals to all ages. According to McCoy, the film understands its target audience perfectly and doesn't feel the need to go beyond their expectations.
