UNN offers a selection of films that can be watched next year.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie

Trying to prevent Princess Peach's abduction, Mario finds himself in space, where he meets Rosalina, the guardian of small star-shaped creatures called Lumas. She tells him that in the past, Bowser attacked her home — the Comet Observatory, a kind of spaceship — and stole its power source, the Power Stars, which caused the observatory to get stuck in space. After this, Mario embarks on a dangerous journey to collect the Power Stars, restore the observatory's operation, and, of course, save Peach.
