If you haven’t seen the highest-grossing video game movie of all time yet, The Super Mario Bros. Movie is free to watch on Fandango. There’s no need to subscribe or pay anything, although you will have to sit through some ads.
Here’s a synopsis of Nintendo and Illumination Studios hit film that released in 2023:
“The movie tells the story of two Brooklyn plumbers who are brothers and best friends: Mario, the brave one with the “let’s-a go” attitude, and the perpetually anxious Luigi, who would prefer to go nowhere. We open with the Super Mario Brothers reckoning with their struggling plumbing business, and wind up in a whirlwind adventure through Mushroom Kingdom. Through their journey, we meet a cast of familiar, lovable characters, ultimately uniting together to defeat the power-hungry villain, Bowser. The Super Mario Bros. Movie takes what millions of gamers worldwide have loved for thirty-five years and levels it up to a new and breathtaking cinematic experience.”
The Super Mario Bros. Movie is getting a sequel on April 1, which makes Fandango’s offer timely if you somehow missed out on Mario’s big screen return. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie looks like it will be even better than the first film, as Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Bowser are joined by Yoshi, Rosalina, and Bowser. Jr.
The star-studded cast of Chris Pratt (Mario), Jack Black (Bowser), Charlie Day (Luigi) and Anya Taylor-Joy (Princess Peach) will also include Brie Larson as Rosalina, Benny Safdie as Bowser Jr., but it’s unclear who plays Yoshi at this point.
Mario’s next adventure seems to lean even heavier on the source material, as we see locations from Super Mario Odyssey in the trailer, and out of this world locales including space exploration.
It’s unclear how long Fandango’s offer will last, so don’t wait around too much longer if you watch The Super Mario Bros. Movie for free without signing up to streaming service. It’s also worth noting that you’ll need to be based in the US.
