Mario creator and Super Mario Galaxy Movie executive producer Shigeru Miyamoto has responded to the initial negative critical response to the starry animated sequel.
Broaching the topic of lower overseas critical sentiment for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie in an interview with Nintendo Dream, Miyamoto said (via machine translation), "Actually, I thought the critics' reviews of the first film were understandable. But I thought this time it would be different... and it was even harsher than last time, which I found strange."
