Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto made a Pikmin movie

Well, if that whole video game thing doesn’t work out, legendary game director Shigeru Miyamoto might have a future in a different entertainment industry.

The Mario and Zelda creator will premiere Pikmin Short Movies at the Tokyo International Film Festival, according to Variety. The event goes from Oct. 25 to 31. The film is a collection of three animated shorts based on the Pikmin franchise, a series of strategy games where players wander forested worlds collecting and commanding the flower-like creatures called Pikmin. The latest game in the series, Pikmin 3, came out for the Wii U last year.
