It definitely falls under the "so bad it's good" category.

You're talking about the live action one?

I've seen it precisely once in my entire life. It was 4:00 AM, and I'd just been up all night on a pretty good bender with my best friend at the time. We were in that weird state where we had passed through tiredness and gotten that strange, hollow second wind that you sometimes get, where you feel keyed up, but can tell that you're in no way rational. Pile this on us both being still pretty well drunk.

We fell off the fucking couch laughing at that one scene of all the small-headed dino-goombas shuffle-dancing and belch-growl-singing to the crappy waltz music in the elevator. Because it was exactly that kind of night. And it pretty much set the tone for the rest of the watch. I think we threw a couple six-packs worth of beer cans at the TV, cackling at every little thing.

Objectively, I know the movie is terrible.

But the memories I carry of it are so very fond.

for the stuff they were working with 20 years ago, it has great actors and a fun cast, and i used to get hella downvotes for saying so lmao.

I loved it as a kid. I don't want to watch it and see how poorly it's aged. I want to keep my pristine childhood whimsy intact on this one

I ruined "toys" for myself (Old Robin Williams comedy- semi rip of a tim Burton style. Aged horrendously) I'm not doing it with Mario
