Fans hear Seth Rogen's voiceover for Donkey Kong in the latest teaser trailer to 'The Super Mario Bros. Movie.'

CLOSE Source: Nintendo / The Super Mario Bros. Movie Movies made from classic video games are always a toss up with most being complete trash (Resident Evil, Street Fighter, Doom, etc.). But the upcoming Super Mario Bros. Movie seems like it might break that curse having gone the animated route instead of the live-action method. And we cant wait to experience what Nintendo and Illumination Entertainment have in store for us. Over the weekend, a new teaser trailer for the Chris Pratt starring film was released. In it we get our first look at Seth Rogens Donkey Kong taking on your favorite plumber from Brooklyn, and its as entertaining as youd expect. Taking on Donkey Kong in an arena la Super Smash Bros. and suffering a brutal beating, Mario knows he needs a power up to take down the angry gorilla and punches a question mark block in hopes of getting an assist.

Dont sleep on that cat suit from Super Mario 3D World because Mario can do some damage to enemies with it. Just how bad of a beating will Donkey Kong suffer at the hands of Meow Mario remains to be seen. But we already know Mario will emerge victorious by the end of the film.
