Super Mario Bros. Directors Explain Why Chris Pratt Is Perfect Casting

Despite the backlash aimed at Chris Pratt's casting in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, directors Michael Jelenic and Aaron Horvath are still defending Pratt. Given Pratt's prominence in Hollywood, the actor was cast to voice the iconic video game titular character in The Super Mario Bros. Movie. His casting has drawn considerable critique, which was amplified by the first looks from the trailer, where Pratt did not embody Mario's quintessential voice.
