Which production company made The Super Mario Galaxy Movie with Nintendo?

The production company that made The Super Mario Galaxy Movie with Nintendo is Illumination.

Illumination is the animation studio behind Despicable Me, Minions, The Secret Life of Pets, Sing and The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The studio was founded by producer Chris Meledandri and operates as part of Universal Pictures’ wider film business.

Nintendo co-produced the movie, bringing ownership of the Mario characters and games to the partnership. Illumination handled the animated-film production, including work by Illumination Studios Paris. Universal Pictures distributed the finished film.

A common mix-up is confusing Illumination with Universal Pictures. Universal is the distributor and corporate partner, while Illumination is the animation production company. Pixar, DreamWorks Animation and Sony Pictures Animation were not the Mario film’s production partners. The sequel draws especially on Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2, released for the Wii in 2007 and 2010.
