GIMME THAT STARFOX MOVIE! - Super Mario Galaxy Full Movie Watch Along: https://www.patreon.com/thereelrejects The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Animated Movie Reaction & Breakdown with Greg Alba, Andrew Gordon, Jon Maturan, and John Humphrey! With the absolute massive box office success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie setting up a fast-paced multiverse, Nintendo, Universal Pictures, and Illumination Studios Paris have returned to the cosmos for the biggest event of the Super Mario Bros. 40th Anniversary celebration: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. - Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Apparel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ In this full Super Mario Galaxy movie reaction, the Reel Rejects crew dives deep into the incredible, fast-paced world building and jaw-dropping computer graphics of Illumination's latest video game adaptation masterpiece. We break down the massive ensemble cast, including Chris Pratt (Guardians of the Galaxy, The Lego Movie) returning as Mario, Anya Taylor-Joy (The Queen's Gambit, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga) as Princess Peach, and Charlie Day (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Pacific Rim) reprising his role as Luigi. We also check out the massive new cast additions, including Brie Larson (Captain Marvel, Room) as outer-space princess Rosalina, Donald Glover (Atlanta, Solo: A Star Wars Story) bringing the iconic Yoshi to life, and Benny Safdie (Oppenheimer, Uncut Gems) as the unhinged, approval-seeking Bowser Jr. Our hosts break down all the chaotic, sensory-overload action sequences, the mind-blowing transitions from 2D tribute animation back into full 3D models, and the amazing orchestral score by composer Brian Tyler. From the introduction of the Boomsday weapon and Bowser Jr.’s paintbrush mechanics to the unforgettable Star Fox crossover sequence featuring Glen Powell (Top Gun: Maverick, Anyone But You) as Fox McCloud flying the Arwing, this movie gave our hosts plenty to unpack. We also discuss the unexpected father-son dynamics between Jack Black’s (School of Rock, Kung Fu Panda) King Bowser and Bowser Jr., the pixel pinñata party, the Honeyhive Galaxy run featuring Issa Rae (Barbie) as the Honey Queen, Luis Guzmán (Wednesday) as Wart at the GameCube roulette casino table, and that incredible Terminator 2 homage ending with Lava Bowser becoming the Skull King. As we dissect the mixed critic reviews versus the massive audience score, we're asking: is The Super Mario Galaxy Movie better than the first film? Does the bare minimum of storytelling work when a movie completely understands its experiential assignment? And are we officially getting a full-blown Super Smash Bros. cinematic universe?

I really loved the dynamic between Bowser and Bowser Jr. The way the son is so proud of his father's evil deeds, helps him reconnect with that side of him, and how much both care about each other. It's really sweet in a morally twisted way.

Even though the story was lacking, the animation and action choreography are genuinely top-tier.

I had the best unhinged kid in my screening of this movie. When Mario asked “Do you think a princess would ever date a plumber” this seven year old behind me just shouts “NO!”

Out of all easter eggs, probably the best most subtle shown is when Bowser Jr says "Time to meet your maker" then basically a Mario Maker level appears lol

There were a bunch of kids and families at my screening. It was pretty loud, but we had a lot of fun. I may have screamed the loudest when Daisy showed up. 👑🥰
