'It's like having the secret to Coca-Cola': Illumination CEO attributes the success of the Super Mario movies to the 'inclusion of Miyamoto and the Nintendo artists'

The Super Mario Galaxy movie.

The Super Mario Galaxy movie released to some shaky reviews; most critics have slammed the sequel for "having no centre", being only "a series of large, vaguely connected explosions", and simply "a way of gouging cash out of families."

But all the awful reviews of the sequel aside, CEO of Illumination Chris Meledandri is still gushing about the movie's somewhat invisible successes, and how great it was working with Nintendo and director Shigeru Miyamoto during an interview with Cherry the Geek TV: "The secret is being able to bring Miyamoto and the team into the center of the process."
