The Big Picture The Super Mario Bros. Movie has been, without a doubt, a delightful present for fans who grew up playing the games. The 2023 animated film features a number of beloved characters, including Princess Peach, Luigi, Bowser, and — of course — Nintendo's adorable mascot, Super Mario. Although the film is stacked with familiar faces, its constrained theatrical runtime made it difficult to fit in even a fan favorite.
Through his official website, Diffenderfer — who worked as an artist and story developer on the box office hit movie — revealed some of the sequences he had "the opportunity to bluesky and provide vision for." Along with concept art images of Kung Fu Panda, Puss in Boots, Wreck-It Ralph, and Big Hero 6, Diffenderfer also shared the materials he created for the Super Mario Bros.
