Illumination CEO Chris Meledandri says the massive success of the Super Mario movies is all thanks to Nintendo and series creator Shigeru Miyamoto.
"The secret is being able to bring Miyamoto and the team into the center of the process," Meledandri said in a red carpet interview, when asked what is the "secret" to the films being enormously successful. "It's not something that we had ever done at Illumination. You know, we had made 10 movies at Illumination. We had made all of them completely inside the studio. So, this was the first time that we were going to work in a new way."
