I was seriously mistaken when I made this post. Jack Black Bowser is awesome. Keegan-Michael Key is a good toad. While I'm still on the fence about Chris Pratt, I haven't heard enough of Charlie day's Luigi.
But let us not forget that these guys played the brothers for a few years.
So why don't we hold off on the "Pratt is a horrible Mario" for a while since they were the definitive voices before Charles took over and made a few people mad.
Why is it every time Hollywood makes an animated film based on a long running game, they never get the original actors to play them; Sonic wasn't played by Roger Craig Smith, and while the I did enjoy the film, Ben Schwartz didn't exactly sound convincing sometimes. and the entire cast of Scoob! (Save Scooby) were replaced by big names who sound nothing like the originals.
Now for the Mario film, we get a casting that makes no sense; Jack Black as Bowser? Really? Seth Rogan as Donkey Kong? Can't see it. Keegan-Michael Key might be a good toad, though, I just hope he actually does the voice. But my biggest concern is Mario and Luigi; Charles Martinet has been voicing the two for nearly thirty years, perfecting the art, and while I do like Chris Pratt (and I'll be honest, I've never heard of Charlie Day), you can't just throw out the guys who have brought so much personality to our favorite characters.
