Find out what Chris Pratt’s Mario could look like with this fan-animation
We spoke to Kevin Tšemmer - the animator behind the Chris Pratt/Marioź§ fan-animation

An anišmator has taken a 3D model of Mario andą¹ lines from The Lego Movie to give fans an idea of what the upcoming Super Mario Movie may look like.
Animator has shared a video to their YouTube channel of Mario reciting lines from 2014’s The Lego Movie, which Chris Pratt also starred in. The idea is that we’ll get a rough idea of what Mario will look like in animation studio Illumination’s upcoming Super Mario Movie, which confirmed its cast during a Nintendo Direct late last year.
If you weren’t already aware, Guardians of the Galaxy anš d Jurassic World star Chris Pratt will be donning the Italian plumber’s overalls in the upcoming animated movie adaptation alongside Charlie Day as Luigi, Anya Taylor Joy as Princess Peach, Jack Black as Bowser, Seth Rogan as Donkey Kong, and more. In Kevin’s video, we get to see what Mario will look like with Pratt’s voice as well as the process that went into making the video.
According to Kevin, who chatted with us about their work, the animation came about due to somebody posting a 3D rendeź¦r of Mario in an animating Facebook group, to which Kevin thought "it would be a funny and interesting challenge to see how [Chris Pratt’s] voice would fit [the character.]"
Luckily for Kevin, it didn’t take long to see their vision come to life - as the animator tells us it actually only took a day to produce. As Kevin explains: "Since it was a relatively short animation and not super polished, I was able to churn it out in a day. [...] I wanted it to feel like one of those heartfelt moments near the endā of an animated movie, but the context of it being Chris Pratt voāØicing Mario just made it turn out pretty hilarious."
Not only has Kevin shown fans what Chris Pratt’s Mario might look like, but they’ve also given - using a line from Day’s sitcom It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Both of Kevin’s bouncy animations have received praises in the cšomments of the video as well as thousands of views each.
When ašsked if they planned to do any other cš“haracters from the upcoming Super Mario movie, Kevin said: "I'd love to do more, but I've been having trouble finding rigs of the other characters that have the same amount of quality and controls as the Mario one."

As for other Nintendo or gaming IPs, Kevin added: "It would be great to try other IPs! I sort of go back and forth between pieces that are topical and more original personal projects. Sometimes things will just rāandomly inspire me, so I like to keep an open mind!"

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I bą²ecame a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horš„izons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
