It’s weird that one of the things people have been most interested in until now Super Mario Bros. Movie concerns is how each sounds. I mean, we know who the cast is, we’ve always known thatbut what we don’t know is the extent to which any actor would screw it up.
Therefore all was so obsessed with Chris Pratt’s Mario, and why Jack Black looks perfect as Bowser because… he’s played that voice 1000 times and he was born for the role. A big voice we haven’t heard yet is Seth Rogen’s Donkey Kong, and it was also one that could have gone in all sorts of directions.
As this Thomas Game Docs video explains below, Donkey Kong’s voice has been heard everywhere for decades. While Charles Martinet’s Mario is Mario through successive generations, there was no consistency in Donkey Kong.
Which arguably means this film could take the character in any direction it wanted, and that’s exactly what happened. As this brief new trailer released tonight during the Eagles vs. Niners game reveals, Seth Rogen was hired to… just be Seth Rogen.
Much of this trailer has already been shown, with Mario beating the absolute shit out of him, but obviously that ending section with Donkey Kong talking is new. It’s also great to see the catsuit showing up, which is what makes this movie stand out Super Mario 3D world
Not that any of this talk about Donkey Kong’s voice matters, because it’s not like that’s the main attraction of the characters anyway.
