Nintendo Partners With 'Minions' Studio for
Super Mario Movie The official announcement came Thursday. Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto will partner with Chris Meledandri, best-known for his work on the Despicable Me franchise and Minions movies. Details on the movie are scarce and a release date is unknown. Demand for everyone's favorite plumber is at an all-time high after the immensely successful launch of Super Mario Odyssey, which has sold more than 9 million copies since its debut in October. Nintendo is riding high as a company after it posted its highest revenue since 2009 in 2017, with the Switch outselling the Wii U
in just ten months.
