Hollywood actor Chris Pratt, who is an outspoken Christian, is dominating the box office with his new “woke-free” movie “The Super Mario Bros. Movie.”
The film set a new all-time record on Easter weekend by generating $377 million in four days. It’s officially the biggest animated opening of all time.
The film beats Disney’s “Frozen 2,” which previously held the record at $358 million.
The film is entertaining for audiences of all ages, not only children. The movie also refuses to indoctrinate children into leftist ideology, the Western Journal noted.
Liberal Hollywood actor John Leguizamo, who starred in the original film as “Luigi,” called for boycotting the movie due to a lack of diversity in its casting.
“Hell no!” Leguizamo responded when asked if he will watch the movie. “No I will not [be watching].”

“They could’ve included a Latin character. Like, I was groundbreaking and then they stopped the groundbreaking.”
Film critic Christian Toto shut down Leguizamo’s criticism because the main two characters are Italian, not Hispanic. Moreover, the original film featured a British actor as Mario and the film was “a dud by most measures.”
Leguizamo argued, “They messed up the inclusion. They dis-included. Just cast some Latin folk! We’re 20 percent of the population. The largest people of color group and we are underrepresented.”
Mario Bros just grossed $377 million—a new record for animated features—despite John Lequizamo boycotting the film because it “messed up the inclusion” casting two white men, Chris Pratt and Charlie Day, as the Italian American leads. Nintendo refused to let Mario Bros go woke!

This weekend I took my kids to see Mario Bros. It was a fun and lighthearted KIDS movie. No woke agenda or exploration of the characters sexual identity.
Mario just saved the princess from the bad guy, like he’s been doing since the 80’s. @Disney should take notes. pic.twitter.com/DuSYWlZYRL

The original creator of Mario, Miyamoto, was heavily involved with the production of the animated film and insisted that it have as little plot as possible and just feel like one of the games
It has no woke narratives and all the characters are exactly like the original games pic.twitter.com/W3yX0NKrwT
