Jordan Moreau The first trailer for Nintendo’s animated “Super Mario Bros.” movie is finally here, as Chris Pratt brings the mustachioed, Italian plumber to life.

Toad leads Mario through the valley of gigantic mushrooms, with Princess Peach’s castle looming in the distance. After the credits roll, the trailer ends with Luigi being chased through a spooky forest by a group of Dry Bones.
