DiC was going to make a Mario Movie?

So the MarioWiki Twitter posted this:

It probably still would be better than the live-action one.

i thought it said DC at first and i was thinking they wanted a batman vs mario movie

Well apparently DIC stopped making it. Illumination was given the job.

I SWEAR THEY BETTER CAST RICHARD ARMITAGE AND TOM HOLLAND AS MARIO AND LUIGI

I would have loved to see it since I tend to favour animated shows as opposed to live-action ones. It would probably be joyously cheesy (or what other people would say: "stupid") and as a Mario fan that would likely be nice to experience. Actually I would wonder how an Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog move would be like even though SatAM is more favoured by America (namely because Archie Sonic is based on this version of Sonic).

Thank you for reading.

I've sent an email to John Grusd (the producer-director of DIC's Mario cartoons) in case he remembers anything about this.
