The problem with the 1993 movie is the conflict between the directors and Nintendo. Nintendo wanted a kids movie, but Annabel Jankel and Rocky Morton wanted an adult movie (which is why they hired real strippers for one of the scenes). I don't know if you heard John Leguizamo talk about making the movie, but it was quite the fiasco.

Hopefully this animated movie will be great. There are things you can do in animation that are pretty difficult to pull off with special effects in a live-action movie.
