After Illumination's success with The Super Mario Bros. Movie, an animated Nintendo Cinematic Universe that rivals the MCU is possible. Ever since 1981's Donkey Kong and 1985's Super Mario Bros., Nintendo's Mario franchise has been synonymous with the video game industry. It popularized the platformer, racing, and party genres, and it remains the highest-grossing video game franchise to this day. However, Mario had only received one attempt at a big-screen adaptation in 1993 with the infamous live-action Super Mario Bros. movie, which discouraged Nintendo from entering the film industry for another 30 years after its critical and commercial failure.
