Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With soft box office, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Best for anyone curious about anime and anyone who loves a world with magic in it. Its magic has rules, and the story plays by them. Shelve it next to KONOSUBA – God's blessing on this wonderful world! Legend of Crimson or Sword Art Online the Movie - Progressive - Aria of a Starless Night. Relationships are put under a microscope, for better or worse.
The mood
Light and funny, feel-good.
The pace
Paced for all ages, at 1 hr 1 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).

When Princess Peach is kidnapped by the monster King Koopa, Mario and his brother Luigi journey to the Mushroom Kingdom to rescue her.
