While it has a better shot at the Bank of America Award than the Best Animated Feature Oscar, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie was a fun enough time for me. I teamed up with mojocore, a sister channel of WatchMojo, on this video review of the anticipated sequel. Watch to find out my thoughts on Illumination's intergalactic animation, the story sprinkled in among the onslaught of Nintendo Easter eggs, Donald Glover's (Oscar-worthy?) turn as Yoshi, and more!

And no, the film sadly doesn't have a Best Original Song contender like "Peaches."
