Directed in that classic illumination style, it pulls straight from the 2007 Wii game, focusing on wild gameplay vibes over deep story. Chris Pratt's back as Mario, Charlie Day as Luigi, with fresh voices like Brie Larson as Rosalina and Dama Glover as Yoshi. Earlier this week, critics noted how the plot kicks off with Rosalina getting snatched by Bowser Jr. voiced by Benny Safty pulling Mario's crew. Into a dash through familiar game worlds packed with easter eggs for true fans.
