Yeah she was supposed to meake them to fight with each other and thus make them easier to catch but anyway that was the smurfette's purpose... That was gross episode... In the end smurfs accepted smurfette as one of them and papa smurf used his magic to turn her into "real smurf" (gargamel made her look more like male smurf at first with black hair and big nose) And when the transformation was complete smurfette turned into hot-sexy-heel wearing babe we know today. And no, i'm not exaggerating, male smurfs react on that transformation clearly making us know they find her HOT... Sheesh... really kids today deserve to get better origin story for smurfette and i'm glad they propably got it with this movie.

Oh. Maybe different countries have different origin for her, in mine he used some kind of "magic plasticine" to make her. Made a mix in cauldron and also added: quote: "Some sugar and some spices, but only the gross ones, little bit of crocodile tears (in my country crocodile tears mean "dishonest/manipulative), half a dozen of lies, a bit of magpie shriek and the hardest stone instead of heart"... So yeah... Quite an origin story, eh?

I'll give this movie some encouragement. It's the best piece of Smurfs media I've seen to date, and though I missed Boss Baby, I'd rank it above LEGO Batman in terms of personal enjoyment. I appreciated the performances of the voice actors, as all of them came across as the characters they were playing rather than as their actors doing a voice. One of the pitfalls that the Smurfs historically falls into, particularly the live-action movie, is having too many characters involved in the story at once, making many of them unnecessary. This movie not only had a smaller main cast than normal, but each member was able to go beyond their standard one-note personality trait and feel like a more fleshed out individual. They got all of their one-note Smurf character gags out in the beginning and end of the movie, then picked a handful of characters to focus on and poured nearly all of the characterization into them. I also have to genuinely emphasize that this portrayal of Gargamel may have been his most competent iteration I've ever seen, in a way that didn't remove his generally comedic tone. The lack of character development is one of the movie's biggest shortcomings, and it's unfortunate that I find it to be an issue intrinsic to the Smurfs property. The Smurfs is so dependent on the status quo of its characters that growth simply isn't possible. Brainy must remain brainy, Clumsy must remain clumsy, Grouchy must remain grouchy, Gargamel must remain evil, etc. Fortunately, even in the area of character development, we still got more than your typical Smurfs property would be willing to provide. Clumsy gained a greater sense of confidence, Brainy and Brawny strengthened their friendship, and if anyone exhibited significant character change in a potential sequel it would be Smurfette. One thing I can really appreciate about this movie is how it really seems like the creators listened to the onslaught of complaints pulled in from the live-action movies and did their best to avoid them. The overuse of the term 'smurf' as a euphemism was annoying, so they toned it way down; the setting in modern day America and focus on real humans wasn't enjoyable, so they had it follow the classic Smurfs formula; the CGI smurfs looked kind of creepy, so they made the movie animated; the gross-out humor didn't fit the property, so they cut it out. They didn't even sing the Smurfs song and cheekily joke about how awful it is. They just didn't sing it, because they knew people didn't want it. That kind of subtle breaking of the formula is such a minor touch, but it goes so far in carving out this movie's identity as a Smurfs movie. I don't believe this movie broke any new ground as a movie, but as a Smurfs movie, I think was a major experiment into the unknown, even before getting into the girl Smurfs. It's a shame to me that it only turned out 'okay' by public opinion since it means we may not get another opportunity to see them refine the good, remove the bad, and improve what we get even further. Also, one last point: I'm in love with this movie's art and animation style, and I think it may be the most visually appealing movie I've seen from this studio, even more than the Hotel Transylvania movies.

I agree that the celebrity actors were not needed, actually I would say they are rarely needed. There are so many amazing talented voice actors out there who could have done so much more with these characters. Not that these celebrities aren't talented, but voice actors are far from "run of the mill" The original series was full of legends like Frank Welker, Don Messick, and Paul Winchell, not to mention the amazing Lucille Bliss the original voice of Smurfette. Who knows what might have happened if they used actual voice actors. Frank Welker is still one of the most versatile and amazing voice actors, add names like Rob Paulsen, Jim Cummings, Dee Bradley Baker, Tress MacNeille, Tara Strong, Mark Hamill (yeah Luke himself is an amazing voice actor, BTAS Jokeer!) and Sean "Sam-Wise" Astin. Hmm....wonder who they'd voice?

Lewtoons I can understand thinking that for the other three, but LEGO Batman? I agree, it's not as good as The LEGO Movie. It's not as imaginative or heartfelt or even well detailed, meaning things like the water not being made of LEGOs and such. But, in my opinion, it was equally funny and rewatchable. I just can't imagine someone not liking that movie, but I guess some people don't have the sense of humor you would have to have to really love that movie. I guess I'm just defending because I love The LEGO Movie so much and I don't want to see it's spinoff be any worse, but it's your opinion and I respect that you give your honest opinion, even if you would get hate for it. So, pretty much, I don't agree with your opinion, but I respect it highly.

yeah his hate for the LEGO Batman film is kind of unwarranted. It comes off like its the worst thing ever when films like The Boss Baby are more cynically produced. Hell, The Boss Baby should be lower since it's pretty much one joke with no heart and soul beyond that one joke. The joke can be funny and sometimes it really works, but at the same time, LEGO Batman had way more passion put into it.

rock dog is better than smrufs, little more original and less "fucks up the original source"

The Smurfs has been a huge part of my childhood. Not just because of the 1980's animated series but also the original comic books by the Belgian comic artist Peyo on which the animated series is based on. Since I live in the Netherlands (Where the Smurfs are way better known then perhaps in the US) I got more exposure to franchise. This is also why I went to see Smurfs: The Lost Village and I thought it did the comics and the animated series justice. Even if you're not much of a fan of the 1980's animated series, I'd suggest you'd check out the original comics if you can find them in English. Perhaps then you'd have a better understanding of the new movie.

I really enjoyed this movie! I hadn't seen any trailers going in, and was not expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. I thought the idea of exploring "what is an -ette" was cute, relevant, and super important for kids. The characters were much less one-dimensional than they usually are, the animation was great, and the gimmicks were tolerable.

Honestly I would like to see more quality specialized voice actors and actresses versus big names in our animated movies

You see? You don't always need to spoil movies to make a review on it. We need more people like you fam!

At this point I watch your reviews less to gauge whether I will like a movie and moreso to see a well made argument that I disagree with. Your ranking of these films differ wildly from my own and I think that's a good thing.

When you click on this video twice before but it brought you to other videos on your feed X_X

Smurfs was a Belgian comic book first and there are some stories in it that are very good. This is usually when Peyo the artist was critiquing human society through the Smurfs. Like "The King Smurf" which was basically a story about how dictators legally rise to power. I doubt we'll ever see that level of satire in an American family film about the Smurfs, though. They're too remembered over here as this harmless '80s cartoon.

I actually think this is underrated. The forest was dazzling and I was entertained by it

I haven't seen it but it has to be better than the live action ones

I wish the Smurf movies would recognize the other girl smurfs like Nanny and Sassette. They were I'm the original series- Sassette made to be Smurfette's sister and Nanny being the only natural-born, female smurf in the comics and TV show.

I saw Smurfs the lost village and I gotta say it's my all time favorite animated movie of the year so far.

this actually did alright at the box office compared to the live-aciton films because it faced compassion with DreamWorks animation's boss baby which made more money than Smurfs for some reason.

But in the cartoon, there were more smurf girls. There was the smurf grandma, and the little ginger girl Sasette. Why did everybody forget them?

Can't wait for when you review the emoji movie 😏

Let it be known I asked Chad if he hated mars bars as a meme on a live stream and it's haunted me ever since.

Up Next: Captain Underpants Then: Cars 3 Later: Despicable Me 3

Smurfs:better than boss baby *starts gagging *

what's more, smurfette is an outsider among the smurfs in several ways: not only is she the ONLY girl (well apart from the child girl but that's...just as confusing) but she isn't even a real smurf, she was created by gargamel to help him catch the smurfs but turned on him and now lives with the smurfs for real. thinking about her backstory and how it affects her personally is actually an interesting idea...which I doubt this movie did as well as it could've

Can't help fucking grooving to that intro eeerrr time

Why do studios on using big names for voice-acting? Since most animated films are assumed to be produced and marketed for kids, big names aren't going to make any impact to them. Professional voice-acting is a different bag to on-screen acting and there are many voice actors who would be more than happy to take on such projects and get a nice wage out of it. Since voice actors do more than one voice, they can take on multiple roles in a film which means a studio doesn't need as many people in their cast which means they wouldn't need to spend as much. Course, I don't know marketing or own a studio so what do I know?

Does Your Name count for this? It came out in theaters in English a month ago and is an amazing animated movie. My favorite this year

Andre disapproves

If you want to know a super Smurf fan's opinion, watch Black Nerd's review. He's a pretty big Smurf fan.

The smurfs pulled children in with heavy duty yet casual world building. The characters constantly explored, and built upon what they established, while adding new zany things. The films kinda just watered it down, while answering a question the show never bothered to ask

6:22 that zoom in though

I'm a huge *Smurfs* fan. Always been. But not the TV series. The comics. That of course is the original format. I haven't seen this yet, I honestly don't wanna go to the movies just for this. I will definitely come back here and tell you what I think once I've seen it. If you even care ;)

Hello Chad, there is a movie coming out in 2017 that not many people have heard about that I think you really should review. It's called The Breadwinner and it is released under the company Cartoon Saloon with other collaborative studios. As you seemed disinterested in the movies coming out this year, I hope this movie will change that. However I have no idea if it will be amazing or bomb. I just know that Cartoon Saloon has put out two Oscar nominated movies including one of my favorites, Song of the Sea. I don't know when the movie comes out, but like you did with the little prince, if you could review it but not include it in the voting at the end (that is if it isn't released in theaters) that would be awesome. Thanks!

How dare you not also mention not being able to unhear Wander's voice for Jack McBrayer.

I am not a smurfs fan, but to me this movie looked like it was as good as a smurfs movie was going to get.

To anyone who's already seen the movie - I'm curious, what are the female Smurfs like? Like, does the movie acknowledge or follow any village-of-all-females Amazon-style tropes? I'm just curious. (Warning, probably gonna be spoilers in this comments thread if anyone responds.)

huh. I kind of forgot this movie came out. I vaguely remember my dad saying he wanted to see it but he never did. anyways I'm at least glad they switched from live action/cgi to animation, it really works better visually and the design for the characters is admittedly pretty adorable. although honestly this plot feels like its recycled from the second live action movie? but maybe thats just me

I thought that Smurfette was created by gargamel (gargamell? Idk how to spell his darn name.) in order to catch the smurfs, but papa (and maybe the whole village idk) showed her the truth or something and she joined the smurfs.

Well I'm haven't a feeling that it might do well overseas like in France where it was made!

I'm actually surprised that they had a Smurfs movie where they didn't sing the happy song.

If you watch wander over yonder, you stop hearing fix-it felix jr and start hearing wander. Only problem is the same as before, you keep hearing wander not clumsy smurf.

my brother made me watch this movie, and the only thing that didn't bore me was listening to clumsy, because the voice actor was the guy for fix it Felix.

Smurfs are described as "three Apples high" so that's the refrence of that scène. I am not sure.

Poor chad. People aren't gonna let you live that list down.

I still can't stop seeing Clumsy as Wander... Help.

I watch all of these movie reviews before actually watching the movie. I don't really care about spoilers anymore because a lot of movies are cliche and you can predict the next scene or moment. Like Trolls and other animated movies. Side note I remember the other Smurfs movie and since I was a kid in the mid to late 90s I've wondered why Smurfette was the only female.

I really enjoyed this film :0 I thought it had a lot of heart and was really funny!

please tell us your opinion on the samurai jack ending

I'd rank it like this: One: The Boss Baby Two: The Lego Batman Movie Three: Smurfs: The Lost Village Four: Rock Dog

I'm an adult from the Smurf fandom and we all agree that this was a great film. Not perfect, but pretty good, especially compared to the awful live action films. We were very happy with it and are hoping for a sequel or at least a TV spin-off series, but we doubt it'll happen because it wasn't too popular :\

What's the next movie you'll be reviewing?

Yay! x3 A new video from my favorite animated movie review series ^^

How are you familiar with the regional Gargan Mel if you never seen tv the show before

WHY AM I SEEING ADS WHEN I HAVE ADBLOCK ON!?!!?!?!?!

I'm not a fan of the show, but I loved the movie

Although we didn't find what smurfette's name ment all we found out was there's girl smurfs....yay?

This movie can go Smurf itself eks dee

I'm 48 and I liked it. I cried at the end.😁

Didn't the life action movie already takkle smurfettes identity issues? Wasn't there like a grey smurf girl she befriended?

I think it was very much like the whole Force Awakens thing, what they needed to make was a competent movie, cause the last ones were well... just fucking look at them XD

No the smurfs have used that joke of replacing words with smurf. I'm pretty sure they did it in the first live action film so you wouldn't know

For some reason, I had this strange want for Lego Batman and Rock Dog to stay as close to each other. Don't know why honestly.

Has the Boss Baby called you yet chad?

Damn its like the new movies seem to be hitting last place all the time. Calling it now! Cars 3 gonna be on top spot

I liked the new Smurfs movie! Definitely better than rock dog.

Personally I think Smurfs:The Lost Village is the best animated movie that's come out this year so far

Was that... was that a bill o'reilly reference?!

Same with fix it felix. Erving from Phineas and Ferb will always be Fix it Felix to me

for anyone who's only interested in it, the current ranking is at 5:25

Demi and Mandy could've definitely done a musical.

well, is Spark next?

I Know how about someone makes a movie about the Smurfs meeting the Snorks!

The comics were targeted more to kids than adults, but they're still fun to read. It's better than the show, in my opinion. There is a more obscure animated film about the smurfs, from 1975. www.imdb.com/title/tt0074539/ I don't know if it's better or worse than the Sony animation film, because I haven't seen the latter.

I thought the 2nd live action film already covered the topic of why Smurfette is the only female smurf lol

Smurfs The Lost Village is honestly the Ratchet & Clank Movie for 2017 honestly because just like that movie it isn't frustrating but it isn't something that is good either so this movie in my opinion is average and Rock Dog is The Wild Life for 2017 aswell for me

Boss baby was the first animated movie, i wished was over, 30mins into it..

Smurfette is supposed to be the only female smurf, because gargamel created her to catch the smurfs

Just a question, is anime not included in this series?

I live in his area and saw 'Your Name' in theaters.

I never saw the movies, but I read the comics and saw the 80's show. The show could've done better at capturing the absurd humour of the comics, but it was pretty entertaining. This movie, form description and indeed the bit where they barely, if ever, use the word "smurf" to replace something - that's terrible. I get it from a "we need the kids to understand it" perspective, but it's such a huge part of the Smurfs and in some cross-over comics they have some great running gags with it. As for Smurfette being the only female Smurf, that never changes in the comics as far as I'm aware. At some point the Baby Smurf does appear, and Smurfette takes it upon herself to take care of the baby Smurf (because let's be honest, who else could? There's no "Care-Taker Smurf". Also sexism probably). Only in a later comic is it revealed that "once in a Blue Moon" a new Smurf is born. A "Blue Moon" happens when in a single month there are two full moons, but in the comics of course the moon turns blue and I believe a stork brings the Baby Smurf to Smurfette's doorstep, or just the town center... I don't quite remember the details. I sometimes wonder if it might be a bit "too European" for American audiences to enjoy. Maybe the humour is too absurd? Like a Smurf running in circles around a hole chanting "37, 37, 37..." for another to get curiuos and look in the hole, then the running Smurf pushes him in and starts chanting "38! 38!" - always cracks me up :P Maybe it's just a dated concept with the Single-Trait Smurfs that only works for short gags but not entire storylines? The comics also tackle some more adult themes like say Hitler in one comic, and the idea of currency and communism in another. There was also this entire storyline of the "northern smurfs" and the "southern smurfs", as to replace which word with "smurf" as a cultural identity thing. (For instance, soup spoon becomes "soup smurf" or "smurf spoon".) TL;DR: The comics were better, but maybe "too European" for adaptation.

I never clicked on video so fast.

I loved that movie

The idea from the original cartoon is that Smurfette was created by Gargamel to sabotage Smurf village but there was also a little girl Smurf I forget her name she had red hair. So this movie isn't that original and the original idea is even better I think.

So, the plot of this movie makes no sense because it was sort of already answered in the original series as to why Smurfette is the only female Smurf... Gargamel created her to lure the Smurfs into a trap. She's not a real Smurf, or wasn't initially. Of course, that's only true of the animated series, not the comics that the animation was based on. The comics had several females.
