Voice-acting legend Eric Bauza on his Mario Galaxy role and the Mario Bros. Movie scene that got cut

At the beginning of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Mario arrives in the Mushroom Kingdom and meets the citizenry known as the “Toads.” Each Toad is short, adorable and has a mushroom cap at the top of their head. They also all have similar, sweet voices. Of the hundreds of citizens, they all pretty much look and sound the same, but one Toad is unmistakably different. While his low-set reading glasses only slightly set him apart visually, his low, booming voice and commanding presence make him unmistakable. He is the Toad General and he is not to be taken lightly.
