The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Trailer

Nintendo released the official trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. We get to see bowser in his castle, painting frantically, fanatically. He creates a painting of Mario as a skeleton. Only to find out… he’s miniature! A teeny tiny bowser still being watched over by Mario and Liogo . He seems to be struggling with some anger issues. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie premieres in theaters on April 3, 2026.

Deadline confirmed that Sandra Oh (Invincible) is set to join the voice cast for the upcoming animated film Fairyheart.

“Fairyheart is “the story of Lala, the young prince of mythical Tundarra, who must save humanity from the wrath of the dark wizard Aterpater. Helping him along the way are his friend, Bea, a brave but lonely human girl, and Gigi, the magical capibara unicorn”.

Anita Doron will direct the project, and write alongside Attila Gigor.
