Production
In 1986, Mario was already popular in North America and Japan so Grouper Studios produced a Mario movie. To advertise the anime, they released Mario phone cards, watches, rice containers, ramen noodles, a manga and a soundtrack. On July 20, 1986, the anime came out in theaters across Japan. How much it grossed and what reviews it got remain unknown. VAP Video later released the film on rental cassette. It was never released on DVD. It was also never dubbed in another language and never released in North America or any other International country and the only means of viewing this anime is video streaming sites such as YouTube. Due to its obscurity, it remains one of the rarest films to this day.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“I really know nothing more criminal, more mean, and more ridiculous than lying. It is the production either of malice, cowardice, or vanity; and generally misses of its aim in every one of these views; for lies are always detected, sooner or later.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“The growing of food and the growing of children are both vital to the family’s survival.... Who would dare make the judgment that holding your youngest baby on your lap is less important than weeding a few more yards in the maize field? Yet this is the judgment our society makes constantly. Production of autos, canned soup, advertising copy is important. Housework—cleaning, feeding, and caring—is unimportant.”
—Debbie Taylor (20th century)
“It is part of the educator’s responsibility to see equally to two things: First, that the problem grows out of the conditions of the experience being had in the present, and that it is within the range of the capacity of students; and, secondly, that it is such that it arouses in the learner an active quest for information and for production of new ideas. The new facts and new ideas thus obtained become the ground for further experiences in which new problems are presented.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
