    I was hoping Rogen was literally just going to do monkey noises for 30 minutes.

    New TV spot for the Super Mario Bros movie reveals Seth Rogen’s normal Seth Rogen voice.

    Seth Rogen’s laugh is like a perfect match for DK

  5. Riomegon

    Cat Mario looks fantastic.
    I had zero interest in watching this, but now..

  6. blukirbi

    Imagine if Donkey Kong had joined those other Seth Rogan characters in that Chip n Dale movie

  7. the_ecdysiast

    I need him to break out in an R&B number and I’ll have zero complaints

  8. zytherian

    I wish he at least tried to do a donkey kong voice in some way, and not just use his own voice.

  9. inteliboy

    Sounds okay? Doesn’t seem to fit… And weird hearing a famous Hollywood voice on an iconic character….

  10. frodo_sucks

    “Now you die” is on the list of things I would never expect Donkey Kong to say.

    I’m sad that this is going to be so shit.

  13. Redditor_PC

    Sounds perfectly fine. No complaints here.

  14. dres_sler

    Really like the way it sounds! This movie is going to be great fun

    I like Seth Rogen and I’m happy to seem him as DK but the problem with Seth Rogen is that everything Seth Rogen does sounds like Seth Rogen. He doesn’t really diversify his voice the way Black and Pratt seem to be doing.

    In fact, he made a gag about that in the Chip & Dale movie when his various characters made a one-shot cameo.

    The more I see about this movie, the more confidence I have in the people making it. I know the weird anti actors as voices people want it to be bad, but it’s going to probably review pretty well. I bet it gets an Oscar nomination.

    I can’t believe it took me all this time to realize that the scene of Mario fighting with DK was a Smash reference

    Oh good, the level of effort put into voice acting by Rogen matches Pratt’s. Why hire professionals when you can just pay vast sums to get “names” on the project?

    …why do I have no problems with Seth Rogans voice coming out of Donkey Kong, but Chris Pratts voice coming out of Mario is where I have issues (although it is growing on me, especially with the Game Awards clip).

  23. PurpleStabsPixel

    Oh boy…

    I like Seth but no. Just no….. he didn’t even the do the donkey kong shrill, the laugh seems half assed and I always assumed donkey kong was of few words had he be voiced…

    I am so excited to see this movie in theaters! I love the trailers and commercials.

  25. BrockReznor

    I just want to know how he pronounces “Ehueh-ehueh!”

  26. clorox2

    Sure. I’d go see it with my first grader son. If he likes it, I’ll be happy. Maybe we’ll play Smash after.

  28. KARURUKA2

    Am I the only one not feeling this movie?

    Animation and design looks fantastic but the voice actors…. Woof

  31. GladiatorJones

    Can we get at least a LITTLE post-production voice modulation on these characters? They did it to KMK’s Toad, pitching him up, and maybe even a little on Jack Black’s Bowser (and at least he sounds like he’s doing more than just his normal voice). The voice for DK feels like it could be pitched down more than Seth Rogen’s normal voice, and Chris Pratt’s Brooklyn-Italian accent is going to be a wild ride, if he slips in and out of it like this “meow” seems to indicate compared to the other lines we’ve heard so far. I’m fine with his normal voice. I’m fine with him going full-boar “Do the Mario” voice. I just hope for consistent in whatever it ends up being.

    Not trying to give final judgement before the release. I’m excited for the aesthetics of this movie. It’s visually spectacular from what they’ve shown so far (great references, great design of a functional Mushroom Kingdom, etc.). But some of these voices, in these trailers at least, are really taking the wind outta my sails. Hoping it’ll be different when viewing as a whole product and not pieces separated in trailers.

    I thought he was the perfect pick for DK.

    This made me change my mind.

  33. Fortyseven

    Not even trying for any real “character” in the voice huh? Just throw a famous actor in there and let him do their own voice and off we go?

    With a few exceptions, this flick feels like the epitome of what voice actors complain about with mainstream CG movies. Just hiring names not talent.

  36. Traditional_Bike8880

    Okay so…they really did just hire a bunch of non-voice actors to just do their normal voices and distracting sound like famous people….kinda a strange decision…no? Am I alone here

    I loved seeing the mario blocks from a 3d first person perspective.

  40. promotionartwork

    I like how they’re playing with the silliness of cat mario.

  41. Placiibo

    I’m glad they’re aware the cat suit is ridiculous. It has good gameplay, which I’m sure is why Nintendo made it. But they took it too far with the feline grooming. Mario is a man, an Italian plumber from Brooklyn. How many men like that would be caught dead wearing a cat suit?

  43. FedoraTheMike

    These Mushroom people laughing at Mario for getting the cat suit are reminding me more of Bikini Bottom fish in Spongebob lol
