Do you have a source for this? Doesn’t sound too believable

My uncle works at Nintendo, and he said the film’s production was done within the Milky Way and Melty Monster Galaxies

It happened to my aunt Linda. You probably don't know her, she goes to a different school.

On the playground it was always "my uncle works for Nintendo Power."

Who's your uncle? My uncle works there too so they're probably friends!

I had completely forgotten that we are in the Milky Way galaxy. Such a random name.
