Mario movie studio fit, Aardman claymation pitch

April 4, 2026Geoff Thew

Geoff Thew argues Aardman would be a better fit than Illumination for Mario, proposing a claymation style and a Thousand Year Door inspired world to make the film feel more distinctive.

“Illumination’s the perfect studio for Mario” no sorry it’s actually Aardman.
Make Mario a little plasticine weirdo who communicates exclusively in “wahoos” and “lets-a-gos,”
base the world/story on TTYD w/ claymation gags instead of paper, and baby, you got an actual film going.
