I can not tell you how excited I am about this. Not only do I love animation (well duh, I have a degree in it) but I also know the talent of the people at Nintendo. There is speculation as to what the actual content of the movie will be, however the full length fill is scheduled to drop in 2006. It seems it will either be based on Nintendo’s video game characters, or on Japanese poetry. All of this was old man Yamauchi-san’s idea. It will be interesting to see how much of the multi-billion dollar war chest they will dig into to set this up.

Personally, Id love to see them base it on the Japanese poetry. I love all the Nintendo characters (except maybe Tingle…) but I would love to see them branch out and makes something different and new. Plus, if succesful, they could always turn around and make a game from the movie. I will certainly keep you updated as more information comes to light.
