Nintendo is working with Illumination to bring Mario to the big screen

From the studio that brought you Despicable Me

Nintendo have announced that they will be partnering up with Illumination Entertainment to create an animated Mario film.

Illumination Entertainment, a division of Universal Studios, is best known for their work on the Despicable Me franchise (yes, including Minions), as well as The Secret Life of Pets and Sing. The Mario film will be co-produced by Shigeru Miyamoto and Chris Meledandri.

We’ll bring more details as they come.
