Mario is heading back to the silver screen

During the Nintendo quarterly investor relations briefing, Nintendo announced that they are partnering up with Chris Meledandri, the man who runs the studio Illumination Entertainment, known for Despicable Me and Minions, to produce a full length cgi Mario movie.

The only other detail we have right now is that will be produced by Shigeru Miyamoto as well, no release date has been hinted at yet.
