Global entertainment brands Illumination and Nintendo jointly created the animated fantasy action film. Despite the colossal success, the film received mixed reviews, "With impeccable animation, funny lines that fall flat, and ample amounts of member berries, the film is little more than a movie-length reminder of the beloved video game franchise", reads the CE review of the film."
