SML: The Movie

**The SuperMarioLogan Fan Movie** was a planned film based on the popular YouTube channel, SML (Formerly known as SuperMarioLogan). A teaser trailer to the unreleased film was released on July 9, 2015. A newly reworked version of the film titled **The *SML Movie*** was released on August 21, 2022 on the PhantomStudiosSMLMovie channel.

why it was cancelled

1. There is a bit of strong language.
2. Overall, the draft is darker than the unreleased final cut, and it had on-screen deaths and was going for either a PG-13 or an R rating.
3. *Good Morning America* did a segment on SML. It stated that YouTube is not doing enough to prevent inappropriate family-oriented content like *SML* from being viewed by kids, even though almost all of it is aimed not at kids but instead aimed at a primarily teenage and adult audience and has a large number of children's following. In interviews, kids admitted they knew the videos were inappropriate for them. Most parents stated that the channel should be eliminated from YouTube due to kids watching inappropriate content, despite SML not being meant for kids in the first place. Later, the segment was uploaded separately to *GMA's* YouTube channel. A majority of Logan's fans immediately hated the video, currently holding a roughly 1-to-10 like-to-dislike ratio and defended him in the comments.
4. Some cast members still hate each other and barely perform on screen together. (Lovell Stanton with Elaina Keyes and Anthony Miller; and Chilly Jimenez with Keyes).
5. Series creator Logan Thirtyacre repeatedly gets demonetized on YouTube and does nothing about the kid fans who subscribe and watch him.
6. SML has still gone downhill.
7. Budget problems during the production.
8. The film would age poorly due to adding new characters and changing the main characters (Mario, Bowser, Rosalina, Bowser Junior, Cody, Joseph, Black Yoshi.) from plushies to human version puppets while other characters (Shrek, Woody, etc.) haven’t upgraded into puppets yet.
9. The Apocalypse affected the film by Federal Trade Commission‘s Children‘s Online Privacy Protection Act, which was created in 1998 and effected in 2000. Due to YouTube violating the law, They were sued for $170 million by FTC. On November 12th, 2019, the new policy was added to YouTube Creator Studio; if a channel chooses an option of the channel’s demographic for children, YouTube will remove features such as comments, notification of a new video, being recommended, being searchable, the community tab, stories, info card, end title, and personalized ads. That YouTube cut 90% of lost revenue, making less money to support the film’s budget. If the channel chose the option of the channel’s demographic not for children but instead target for adult and teenage audiences but incorrectly that wasn’t made for children, YouTube would've paid a fine of $42,530 per video. This policy would come into effect by January 1, 20
10. Copyright Issues with Dreamworks Animation For Using Shrek
11. according to Phantom Studios’s Tweet, Gui was “too scared” to announce the film’s cancellation. Otherwise, the fans would be upset and harass him if he did. Instead, they decided that fans would forget about the film’s existence.
12. SML doesn't want to gui use the old versions of the SML characters anymore because he promised SML a job to work with the Phantom Studios crew and later on did not respond about the Job confirmation, which almost caused Logan to lose his current position. This fractured his and PhantomStudiosFan2001/PhantomStudiosSMLMovie's relationship.
13. When a SML fan asks, "Where is the SML Movie?" Phantom Studios never respond and ignore it, especially in Q&As.
14. On February 11, 2022, PhantomStudiosSMLMovie received a cease and desist letter from SML, stating he is no longer allowed to use the old plushies in videos (they accused him of using the old versions of the SML characters to profit on). Gui announced that the human puppets would be used and become a permanent change to the movie.
15. PhantomStudiosSMLMovie himself got a lot contreversies at the time just using plushies without permission.
