[Sweet Rabbit]

I can't see this movie being anywhere near good

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

Why would you put Smurfs in the real world? Make a bright, colorful cgi medieval fantasy cartoon with the little mushroom houses and all that. Seems like kids would be way more turned on by that than Manhattan and NPH.

 

[The Josh]

Not exactly how I would have ever wanted to see the smurfs get treated.

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

I don't know anything about the Smurfs, but this looks godawful.

 

[IronFingaz]

The horror... the horror...

Get with the times, kids will eat this ____ up like the chipmunk movies.

 

[MachineGunMan]

Im sick of kids movies being regurjataded manure, no substance or imagination whatsoever.

 

[Eiko82]

The trailer looks awful. They completely ruined the Smurfs. Why must Hollywood continue to ruin childhood classics?

 

[karamazov80]

Awesome. Looks like Avatar, but slightly different.

 

[Batty]

Smurfette looks hot!

 

[Shropt]

So first Sony steals our credit cards and now they steal our childhood?!?!

Actually, the trailer didn't look half bad.

Why do people _____ that some new movie ruins their childhood. If all your childhood was just watching ____ing tv and movies then you probably needed to pick up a sport and get some friends.

Exactly...Do people really love the smurfs that much?....

 

[Star Puffs]

But I really don't see the appeal of making this film at all - were they really that popular? Are they STILL that popular? Are adults who grew up with them going to take their kids?

I still have a large collection of Smurfs that I keep in bedroom (like when I was little). Kind of like Playmobil, which I also collect, they are just not as much in the Anglo-American pop culture loop.

The Smurfs are most popular in Continental Europe, particularly France, Germany, the Netherlands and of course their home nation, Belgium. Anglophones probably think first and foremost of the Hanna-Barberra cartoon, so it seems like an old 80's franchise, but the comics have never gone out-of-print over several decades and PVC figures continue into their fifth decade.

What the Smurf?!

Firstly, was there ever a Scottish Smurf, I never remember one?

Secondly, Katy Perry as Smurfette...

Lastly, it's a shame they went the Alvin and the Chipmunks route with this film, something a little darker set in Smurf Village would have been better for the fans.

Saw the trailer with Thor last night...
looks really lame... only 5 Smurfs? Really?... Weren't there supposed to be 99 of them?...

They all died like our childhood memories of what The Smurfs were actually like.

There are, but that's how many came over into our world.
