Who produced The Super Mario Galaxy Movie with Shigeru Miyamoto?

Chris Meledandri produced The Super Mario Galaxy Movie with Shigeru Miyamoto.

Meledandri is the founder and chief executive of Illumination, the animation studio behind the film. Miyamoto is Nintendo’s legendary game designer and the creator closely associated with Mario, so their producer partnership brings together Hollywood animation expertise and Nintendo’s stewardship of the character and game world.

The arrangement continues the collaboration established for The Super Mario Bros. Movie in 2023. Nintendo and Illumination jointly developed the animated films, while Universal Pictures handles distribution. Miyamoto’s involvement helps protect the identity of the Mario brand, while Meledandri oversees the production relationship and Illumination’s animation pipeline.

A common mix-up is choosing Matthew Fogel, who wrote the screenplay, or Brian Tyler, who composed the score. Kevin Feige is associated with producing Marvel Studios films, not this Mario project. The credited producing pair is therefore Meledandri and Miyamoto.
