List of Super Mario in... Films (1931-82)

Here's a list of Super Mario in... films that were created by Gavin Brown between 1931 and 1982.

To view the soundtrack based on the films, go to the public domain to view the films based on the soundtrack.

In 1983, Gavin Brown partnered The Walt Disney Company to own these films before the first 20 Super Mario in... films are in the public domain. In the 1992 VHS of Super Mario in "The Princess", Gavin Brown removed the MGM logo and replaced it with the Walt Disney Pictures logo after The Walt Disney Company owned the films, because the first Mario movie was owned by Disney in partnership with Turner Entertainment Co.

In 2000, Shigeru Miyamoto watched and liked the films though, they did get 2001 Nintendo/Disney re-releases of all 30 Super Mario in... films.

The Super Mario in... films are now available to stream on Disney+, though in the very beginning of Super Mario in "The Princess", it removed the MGM logo and replaced it with the Disney logo.
