Hi! I'm writing to you in regard to a certain "Super Mario Bros." feature film, and I'm asking you to look into its re-release. You see, when the live-action "Super Mario Bros." film was released in the year 1993, it suffered both critical and commercial failure for being too dark, violent, and unfaithful in plot to Nintendo's wildly popular video game series. I understand that while this is currently the most talked-about "Super Mario Bros." movie at the moment, it was not the first one. An animated movie was made previous to this, dating as far back as 1986.
The movie, which is about an hour in length, is titled "Sūpā Mario Burazāzu Pīchi-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!", which, in Japanese, means "Super Mario Bros.: The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach!" This was one of the first movies ever based on a video game, produced by Grouper Productions in cooperation with Nintendo and distributed by the Shochiku Company. This film has been considered lost for many years, and to this day, it remains one of the rarest pieces of "Mario" media ever made.
Many "Mario" fans, including myself, would love to see this obscure classic released internationally. Could you please consider releasing the "Super Mario Bros." anime movie internationally? Thank you.

Please release this on dvd blu ray blu ray 3d 4k ultra hd digital and on streaming services and vhs tapes from etsy
We need this to be real
I agree!
The original Super Mario anime film is perhaps the first theatrical video game adaptation ever made. Given that stature, one would think the film would be discussed more. Instead, this attribution is often erroneously placed apon the 1993 American film, whose critical and financial standings created somewhat of disdain for video game film adaptations in the years to come. Thus, it surprises many to learn of the existence of the 1986 film, which has only ever been officially released in Japan. After a brief run in Japanese theaters and minor presence on home video, the film was left to obscurity for many years. That was, however, until fans eventually discovered a copy of the film on tape. While the film is no longer lost, it's a shame that no further official reissues have been made. It would be wonderful for this film to be officially released on Blu-ray and DVD worldwide.
I like the petition to sign and I like the 1986 Anime film called Super Mario Bros. The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach
Hope it gets released.

I would really love to see a restoration of the 1986 Super Mario anime film as well as an English dub. It is really interesting to me. I love it.
