Maximalist assault on the senses. It starts running immediately and never stops. Every single second has a million things to look at. I’ve never been this immersed for an entire runtime in a theater.

Beautiful to look at. Seamless transition from game to film keeping all the fun elements and using them in cinematic ways. One of the funniest kids movies I’ve seen in a long time. Felt accessible for everyone. The voice cast was all great, but particularly Bowser was my mvp.
Peaches is a banger song.
