# GOOD NEWS FOR FANS OF THE SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE
If you’re a fan of the Super Mario Bros. Movie and have been waiting for a US release with Japanese voice-acting, now is your chance. Although it will be for a limited time only, select theaters in Honolulu, Los Angeles, Seattle, Toronto, New York, San Francisco, and Vancouver will be showing Japanese-language screenings of the film as of this Friday.
# A DELIGHTFUL SURPRISE FOR FANS OF MARIO
While the English-speaking cast did a competent job, some fans were disappointed with the lack of authenticity in the voiceovers. For instance, Princess Peach’s voice sounded like Anya Taylor-Joy, which wasn’t close enough to the character’s video game persona. Therefore, fans can finally enjoy the Japanese version of the movie, which may be purer to their ears.
# ENGLISH VS. JAPANESE VERSION: WHAT TO EXPECT
While some might argue that the voices in the Japanese version might not be perfect either, the fact that the entire movie will be in Japanese is a huge plus. Fans of the game series will surely appreciate that they can listen to the voices of the original Japanese voice actors, thus giving them the ultimate experience with their favorite characters.
In conclusion, the Super Mario Bros. Movie with Japanese voice acting is finally arriving in select theaters in the US for a limited time. Fans should take advantage of this opportunity to have a unique and authentic experience with one of the most beloved video game adaptations ever made.
