Andre did a review of the movie, since he's a big Smurfs fan.

Unrelated the film specifically, I'm losing it over The Smurfs having tails. Mandela Effect sorta thing. In my mind, they never had tails, yet, they always have, according to my "research". Weird. Don't like it.

Weird.... they always had tails in the cartoon. Did those 2 cgi/live action movies leave them out?

Every Smurf toy I've ever seen has tails. But it seems to be only a trait amongst male smurfs as when the females first see the males in the movie a couple of them looking over Brainy pinched his tail and were confused by it.

I really wish this movie did a lot better, I would have loved a sequel or two. It would have been nice to see more characters(allies and villains) from the original series and comics.

It's a surprisingly dark movie at the later parts. I like it.

I still want to see it, but doesn't seem to have a release date for Japan listed, unless I missed it.

Watched it the second time.

The graphic and animation are absolutely gorgeous, it's like the comic literally comes to life. Reminds me of the Snoopy movie, very faithful. I love watching the Smurfs stepping on grass and how the grass moves. There's actual physics and weight to everything even to the smallest details.

It's a full house when I went and the audience seems to react very well. They gasped/wowed loudly when the ladybug acted like a printer lol!

I hope there's more sequels to come!

I saw this tonight only because a friend of mine really wanted to go. It was actually much better than the live-action/animated films and the voice acting was fine, but it was nothing extremely entertaining. The main issue with the movie is that it is very forgettable and is probably something only very young audiences would enjoy. Another problem is that it seems this film "borrowed" stuff from Return to Neverland and Care Bears the Movie II: A New Generation (a complete waste of my early childhood) as well as a tiny bit of Pokemon: The First Movie.

Spoiler:
What it took from Return to Neverland is that like Jane, Smurfette first gets captured by the villain and then she accidentally leads him to her allies. What it borrows from Care Bears II is that the lead female female at one point worked with the main bad guy and then makes a sacrifice to save everyone else to make up for what she did. This leads to her ceasing to exist and then everyone gathers around and magical power brings her back. A similar situation kind of happened to Ash Ketchum in the first 'Pokemon' movie and Tinker Bell in 'Return to Neverland' as well. Although the latter didn't make a sacrifice in that movie.

I saw the film, watched the series on Boomerang when it aired on that channel and I hated the live action films, Sony seems to have learn it's lesson with that thank goodness. The new specials have been solid in my opinion, the Halloween one being my favorite. I love what they've been doing with Brainy Smurf and LOLz the rivalry between Hefty and Brainy fun. The Animation was amazing and it was fun seeing them outside of smurf village and learning to adapt to the surroundings. I'm buying this on DVD and would love it if they did a reboot on the Smurfs series with a continuation of this film, seeing the girls smurfs and boy smurfs interact and stuff
