    Please tell me it’s a sequal/spinoff to the Super Mario Bros movie.

    And please tell me Arin Hanson voices the role of Donkey Kong JR.

    Now, in case you’re confused about which one DK JR is, there was a 1982 game called “Donkey Kong JR”. It was a sequal to the 1981 game game “Donkey Kong”. He also made an appearance in the SNES game “Mario Kart”.

    And then we never heard from him again.

    The Donkey Kong in Donkey Kong Country is actually Donkey Kongs grandson. Which would make Cranky Kong the original DK…AND THUS THE COOLEST!!!

    I just want Arin Hanson to guest cameo as DK JR.

      If Arin is in then i want Jontron and Dan there too.

      Maybe throw in Cho Sung Won for King K.Rool and all the other role.

        “Donkey Kong Island doesn’t need more immigrants from Crocodile Isle! Wealthy Kremlings commit more crime than the poorest of Kongs with no golden bananas.” -Jontron as Diddy Kong

        I mean…I feel like that’s enough, honestly. Jack Black voiced Bowser just because he can sing. Chris Pratt voiced Mario…for reasons I still don’t understand.

        I was never a Charles Martinet fan, and Capt Lou Albano is dead. But at least Arin IS a voice actor. Shit, he could probably do what The Simpsons and Family Guy do, where one guy voices like half the characters.

        He could do Mario, Toad, DK JR, and Sugar Bear. I know Sugar Bear isn’t a Nintendo property, but fuck it, ya know? Have you seen him voicing Sugar Bear and Granny? I could legit watch a weekly 30 minute cheaply animated show where they keep having Sugar Bear steal Grannys cereal.

        Although I do think he, and JackSepticeye, and Markiplier and Danny Sexbang all spread themselves a tad thin at times. Taking on too many projects at once.

        I can’t blame them though. Their lives look fun. Basically they wake up and get to ask themselves “Ok, what stupid shit do I want to do today?”

        And then we get the 10 minute power hour, where they learn to do cirque del soil, or they order a bunch of kit kat flavors from amazon.

        I’d be much fatter, but much happier if I was told "Your job today is to eat chocolate in the morning, and at 3pm you’re going to talk in silly voices working for Nintendo.

        Imagine living THAT life.

      Maybe because Nintendo doesn’t want to make a 2D animation. The Japanese studios aren’t known for their CGI work. And the fucking Minions movie made more than the highest grossing anime movie, Demon Slayer. Nintendo likes money and Illumination Entertainment knows how to make it.
