Nintendo (NTDOF) stock was up on Wednesday after a new trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie was released by animation studio Illumination. This new film is a follow-up to The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which was a massive success thanks to its box office performance of $1.361 billion on a budget of $100 million. This was enough to make it the highest-grossing film based on a video game and the fifth-highest-grossing animated film.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie appears to be a mixture of several game stories and settings combined into one. It features elements from Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and Super Mario Odyssey. With this many sources packed into one, the film is likely to appeal to a large number of fans of Nintendo’s biggest mascot.
Nintendo and Illumination are no doubt hoping for such a response from fans. If the success of the first film can be repeated, it would be a major win for the video game company and the animation studio and could result in a possible third film.
