The Super Mario Bros. Movie

Tonight, the Motion Picture Association and Comcast NBCUniversal co-hosted a screening of The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Ben Staub, Senior Vice President of Federal Government Affairs at MPA; Phil Tahtakran, Head of Federal Affairs at NBCUniversal; and Tejasi Thatte, Executive Director of Federal Government Affairs at NBCUniversal, all provided remarks prior to the film.

From the film’s official site:

With the assistance of a Mushroom Kingdom resident Toad (Keegan-Michael Key; The Lion King) and some training from the strong-willed ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom, Princess Peach (Anya Taylor-Joy; The Queen’s Gambit), Mario taps into his own power.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie features an extraordinary comedic cast, including Jack Black (Jumanji films) as Bowser, Seth Rogen (Neighbors franchise) as Donkey Kong, Fred Armisen (Portlandia, Saturday Night Live) as Cranky Kong, Kevin Michael Richardson (American Dad!, Family Guy) as Kamek and Sebastian Maniscalco (Green Book) as Spike, plus a special voice appearance by Charles Martinet, who has voiced the characters of Mario and Luigi in the Super Mario games for more than 30 years.
