Let’s go!’, this type of thing”, said Prattimitating the voice of Mario. “So we were trying to find a way to incorporate that into the moviebut in a way that was congruent with the story of these working-class, middle-class Americans from Brooklyn.”

“To us, it made perfect sense,” co-director Aaron Horvath said of the performance of Pratt of Mario. “He’s very good at playing a working-class hero with a lot of heart. For the way we characterize Mario In our movie, he’s perfect for the part.” The director described the brothers Mario as “working-class kids…from a family of Italian immigrants” who end up being transported to the Mushroom Kingdom.
Although Mario has spoken little in publicity, producer Chris Meledandri defended the casting choice in an interview with Animation Magazine.
“When people hear the performance of chris pratt, criticism will go away, maybe not entirely – people love to give their opinion, as they should,” said the Illumination founder and CEO. “I’m not sure this is the best defense, but as a person who is of Italian-American descent, I feel like I can make that decision without worrying about offending Italians or Italian-Americans… I think we’ll be fine.”
