The jurassic world Actor Chris Pratt, who is Mario’s voice actor, teased fans by claiming that the character’s voice was going to be “looks like nothing” they’ve heard of it before.

While many people aren’t impressed with Pratt’s attempt, the movie’s trailer still gets tons of positive reactions. Maybe that could end up covering up the seething conversation about Mario’s fun voiceover too.
