Pixar is hopping into theaters this weekend with Hoppers, but Illumination isn't far behind with The Super Mario Galaxy Movie set to be released next month. The first film was a massive hit, so to say the expectations for this one are high would be an understatement. It seems like people are excited about the movie and the blend of old and new that they are teasing so far. In the new TV spot, we see some more of Baby Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi, all of which were present in the early years of the series. However, the entire concept of the film, the galaxy thing, was a bit more modern and was introduced in 2009 with the release of the Wii. On top of the new TV spot, we also got a new poster, and it is just as busy as all of the marketing for this movie has been. Nintendo also confirmed the final trailer will be released during the Nintendo Direct presentation on Monday.
