Super Mario Brothers: The Great Mission
to Rescue Princess Peach

7/20/1986 Movie 60 minutes Holly Planning Production/Grouper Production (distributed by Shôchiku Fuji)
HATA'S ROLE
Director
STAFF
Original Work: Nintendo
Producer: Suzuki Masakatsu, Hatano Tsunemasa
Animation Director: Matsuyama Maya
Script: Takayashiki Hideo
Music: Kimori Toshiyuki
Art Director: Abe Yukio
Key Animation: Kadowaki Kôichi, Ogawa Tomoko, Takeda Kazuhisa, Koyama Ryô, Ki****a Yoshio, Kusuda Satoru, Kodama Shunji, Kobayashi Akemi, Komamiya Shingo, Mitsueda Tadashi, Satô Atsushi, Takaoka Kiichi, Toshida Kazuyuki, Nakayama Katsuichi, Negishi Jirô, Hanawa Hiroaki, Yamazawa Minoru, Yama****a Satoru, Suzuki Eiji, Eguchi Takashi, etc.

This film appears never to have been released on video in or outside of Japan subsequent to its theatrical release, making it probably the most elusive Hata film. (talk about missed marketing opportunities!) This is doubly unfortunate because the film is in fact given a fairly positive review in 70 Years of Theatrical Films, whose writers are not prone to hyperbole. The closest thing available at this time is a film comic published in Japan around the time of the theatrical release.
(Correction: A Japanese rental video was in fact released at one time.)

Although I don't know the specifics, the animation studio that produced this film, Grouper Productions, was apparently some sort of re-incarnation of the old Sanrio Films studio. Most of the main staff members like animation directors Maya Matsuyama, Shigeru Yamamoto and Mikiharu Akabori continued working together on under this new umbrella. Hence, the Sanrio films produced hereon out were produced by Grouper Productions.

Wow, that's some lame drawing there. I'm assuming those positive reviews were based on writing and/or voice acting.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

1986...

That explains it.

I have one question.

Why are those Toads naked?

Mariosrpg loves Friends · 08-22-2003, 12:00 PM

Since when does Peach have a brother? Maybe thats her boyfriend? But what about Mario! And tell me the guy next to her with the big a*s beard isnt her father......

P.S. The Toads look horrible, but the brothers look pretty good

If Bowser ever spotted them, they could hide under their hats.

Is that a red shirt Luigi is wearing?
