Are You Interested in Seeing a Modern Smurfs Movie?

February 18, 2008

Check out this very early peek at the 3-D computer-animated Smurfs movie, which recently surfaced over on ComingSoon. Even more than the Alvin and the Chipmunks movie, I'm not sure how to feel about a modern remake of the old animated series.

What do you think about a new Smurfs movie? Are you curious to see it? Or is it just plain sacrilege?

I didn't really like or watch the original, so I don't want to see it again, altered.

Do we REALLY need another less-than-mediocre, old kid's tv show made into a movie (again)? Now that the writer's strike is over, I hope that they will finally start churning out some good movies; I had heard somewhere that they had been taking old scripts (maybe the idea for a Smurf movie, ugh) and putting them into production to make up for lost time during the strike.

the only way hollywood could ruin my childhood memories further is if they slayed a live popple on my doorstep.

Sure, it might be cute.

Can't anyone come up with something new? Why do they have to keep on trying to bring back old cartoons into feature length movies?? What's next? Really?

No. I didn't like how they messed with Alvin and the Chipmunks very much, and although I really don't have any sentimental ties with the Smurfs, I'd rather that they leave them as they are. The kids that they are targeting today don't know what the old Smurfs looked like, so why not keep them as they are? The majority of people who would be going to see the movie anyway would be adults who grew up watching it and brought their children to the movie. The kids have no expectations, so why try to please them? Why not please their parents who will be very upset to see their beloved cartoon messed with?

Please stop messing with my childhood, There has never been a remake or a revamp that can live up to the original. Hollywood needs to stop dipping into the past to make money on nostalgia. Funny fact about the smurfs, they were actually the work of a belguim cartoonist, originally known as "Les Schtroumpfs" they debuted in 1958! I used to get a kick out of them getting drunk on smurfberries, that they never take thier hats off (thier bald, except for papa and grandpa smurf, and smurfette) Does anyone remember Puppy? the smurflings? clockwork smurf? the wartmongers? Bigmouth? Feathers?

ugh, this drives me crazy. i hope they don't ruin it, but they probably will.... Oh, and mamaseacat, I remember reading that they will be creating more female smurfs for the movie. http://www.iwatchstuff.com/2008/01/smurfs_to_become_less_of_a_smu.php I also read that it's supposed to be a trilogy... like a goofy Lord of the Rings.

"If they do make a movie, I do hope they come up with more female smurfs. Poor Smurfette! She was the only one the smurfs could "smurf" around with, or Vanity (the gay smurf)." That reminds me...I distinctly remember the one where it was Valentines Day and even Papa Smurf tried to hit on Smurfette! I was like NOOOOOOOOO!!!

The Chipmunks movie was a horrible idea and so is this. Leave my childhood shows alone!

MDF20 5 years 13 weeks

NO! I don't understand why Hollywood can't leave well enough alone.

emalove 5 years 13 weeks

Probably not...I DID grow up on the Smurfs though. But I can't see myself being interested in this.

"However, I watched the Smurfs very recently (on Cartoon Netowrk or Boom or some such) and was upset to discover the show to be pretty much unwatchable. So boring." LOL, ITA I tried watching one day and it lasted like 5 minutes, every other word they said had a smurf prefix and was smurfarific...I was like how the hell did I ever know what they were talking about!
