The Smurfs (French: Les Schtroumpfs; Dutch: De Smurfen) is a Belgian comic franchise centered on a fictional colony of small, blue, humanoid creatures who live in mushroom-shaped houses in the forest. The Smurfs was first created and introduced as a series of comic characters by the Belgian comics artist Peyo (the pen name of Pierre Culliford) in 1958, wherein they were known as Les Schtroumpfs. There are more than 100 Smurf characters, and their names are based on adjectives that emphasise their characteristics, such as «Jokey Smurf», who likes to play practical jokes on his fellow Smurfs. «Smurfette» was the first female Smurf to be introduced in the series. The Smurfs wear Phrygian caps, which came to represent freedom during the modern era.

The word «smurf» is the original Dutch translation of the French «schtroumpf», which, according to Peyo, is a word he invented during a meal with fellow cartoonist André Franquin when he could not remember the word salt.^[1][2][3]

The Smurfs franchise began as a comic and expanded into advertising, films, TV series, ice capades, video games, theme parks, and toys.

Origin

At the time he came up with the idea for the Smurfs, Peyo was the creator, artist, and writer of the Franco-Belgian comics series titled Johan et Pirlouit (translated to English as Johan and Peewit), set in Europe during the Middle Ages and including elements of sword-and-sorcery. Johan serves as a brave young page to the king, and Peewit (called Pirlouit (pronounced Peer-loo-ee) in the original French version.) functions as his faithful, if boastful and cheating, midget sidekick. In 1958, Spirou magazine started to publish the Johan et Pirlouit story La Flûte à six trous («The Flute with Six Holes»).^[4] The adventure involved them recovering a magic flute, which required some sorcery by the wizard Homnibus. In this manner, they met a tiny, blue-skinned humanoid in white clothing called a «Schtroumpf», followed by his numerous peers who looked just like him, with an elderly leader who wore red clothing and had a white beard. Their first full appearance was published in Spirou on October 23, 1958.^[5] The characters proved to be a huge success, and the first independent Smurf stories appeared in Spirou in 1959, together with the first merchandising. The Smurfs shared more adventures with Johan and Pirlouit, got their own series and all subsequent publications of the original story were retitled La Flûte à six Schtroumpfs (also the title of the movie version of the story).

With the commercial success of the Smurfs came the merchandising empire of Smurf miniatures, models, games, and toys. Entire collecting clubs have devoted themselves to collecting PVC Smurfs and Smurf merchandise.

Name

Schtroumpf (IPA: [ʃtʁumf] (listen)) is pronounced like the German word «Strumpf» meaning «sock». However, according to Peyo, the original author of the Smurfs comic strip, the term and the accompanying language of the Smurfs came during a meal he had with his colleague and friend André Franquin at the Belgian Coast. Having momentarily forgotten the word «salt», Peyo asked him (in French) to pass the schtroumpf. Franquin jokingly replied, «Here’s the Schtroumpf—when you are done schtroumpfing, schtroumpf it back…» and the two spent the rest of that weekend speaking in «schtroumpf language».^[1][3] The name was later translated into Dutch as Smurf, which was adopted in English.^[2]

Both the comics and cartoons have been translated in many languages. In most cases, the original name «Schtroumpf» is replaced by a new term. The most common are variations on the Dutch translation «Smurf», while other names are indicative of their gnome-like appearance.

In English, they were briefly named the goblins in the book Dilly Duckling and the Goblins (1973) before being renamed the Smurfs.^[6]

In Spanish, they are called «Pitufos», a term invented by Miguel Agustí who was the head of the Spanish magazine Strong which first published the cartoon in Spanish. According to Agustí, he was walking around Barcelona while trying to come up a name for the cartoon. He came across a sculpture of the Ox of Patufet and was inspired by the word Patufet. From Patufet he derived the non-existent word Pitufo. The name later spread to most Spanish-language versions of the cartoon.^[7]

Smurfs universe

Smurfs

The storylines tend to be simple tales of bold adventure. The cast has a simple structure as well: almost all the characters look essentially alike—mostly male (a few female Smurfs have appeared: Smurfette, Sassette, and Nanny Smurf), short («three apples high»),^[8] with blue skin, white trousers with a hole for their short tails, white hat in the style of a Phrygian cap, and sometimes some additional accessory that identifies a personality (for example, «Handy Smurf» wears overalls instead of the standard trousers, a brimmed hat, and a pencil above his ear). Smurfs can walk and run, but often move by skipping on both feet. They love to eat sarsaparilla (a species of Smilax) leaves, whose berries the Smurfs naturally call «smurfberries». The smurfberries appear only in the cartoon; in the original comics, the Smurfs only eat the leaves from the sarsaparilla.

The Smurfs fulfill simple archetypes of everyday people: «Lazy Smurf», «Grouchy Smurf», «Brainy Smurf», and so on. All Smurfs, with the exception of Papa, Baby, Smurfette, Nanny and Grandpa, are said to be 100 years old. There were originally 99 Smurfs, but this number increased as new Smurf characters appeared, such as Sassette and Nanny. All of the original Smurfs were male; later female additions are Smurfette and Sassette. Smurfette was Gargamel’s creation, while Sassette was created by the Smurflings.

Language

A characteristic of the Smurf language is the frequent use of the undefinable word «smurf» and its derivatives in a variety of meanings. The Smurfs frequently replace both nouns and verbs in everyday speech with the word «smurf»: «We’re going smurfing on the River Smurf today.» When used as a verb, «to smurf» typically means «to make», «to be», «to like», or «to do».

Humans have found that replacing ordinary words with the term «smurf» at random is not enough: in one adventure, Peewit explains to some other humans that the statement «I’m smurfing to the smurf» means «I’m going to the wood», but a Smurf corrects him by saying that the proper statement would be «I’m smurfing to the smurf»; whereas what Peewit said was «I’m warbling to the dawn». So «I’m smurfing to the smurf» is not the same as «I’m smurfing to the smurf».^[9]

In the animated series, only some words (or a portion of the word) are replaced with the word «smurf». Context offers a reliable understanding of this speech pattern, but common vocabulary includes remarking that something is «just smurfy» or in some cases, «smurftastic».

In Schtroumpf vert et vert Schtroumpf (see Smurf Versus Smurf), published in Belgium in 1972, it was revealed that the smurf village was divided between North and South, and that the Smurfs on either side had different ideas as to how the term «smurf» should be used: for instance, the Northern Smurfs called a certain object a «bottle smurfer», while the Southern Smurfs called it a «smurf opener». This story is considered a parody on the still ongoing taalstrijd (language war) between French- and Dutch-speaking communities in Belgium.^[10]

Smurf village

When they first appeared in 1958, the Smurfs lived in a part of the world called «Le Pays Maudit» (French for «the Cursed Land»). To reach it required magic or travelling through dense forests, deep marshes, a scorching desert and a high mountain range.^[11] The Smurfs themselves use storks in order to travel long distances, such as to the kingdom where Johan and Pirlouit live, and keep up-to-date with events in the outside world.^[12]

In the Johan et Pirlouit stories, the Smurf village is made up of mushroom-like houses of different shapes and sizes in a desolate and rocky land with just a few trees. However, in the Smurf series itself, the mushroom-like houses are more similar to one another and are located in a clearing in the middle of a deep forest with grass, a river, and vegetation. Humans such as Gargamel are shown to live nearby, though it is almost impossible for an outsider to find the Smurf village except when led by a Smurf.

Characters

Papa Smurf is the leader of the community. Other Smurfs are generally named after their personality disposition, much like Disney’s Seven Dwarfs; for example, Brainy, Greedy, Vanity, Lazy, Clumsy, Hefty, Jokey, Dreamy, Grouchy, or their profession, for example, Poet, Actor, Handy, Harmony, Farmer, Clockwork, Painter, Tailor, Miner, Architect, Reporter, Timber, Barber and Doctor Smurf. The first female Smurf, Smurfette, was created by Gargamel to lure the other Smurfs. Papa Smurf then changed her into what we see today. The non-Smurf characters who would appear later would include their enemies: the wizard Gargamel, his cat Azrael, an ugly witch Hogatha, and Gargamel’s godfather Balthazar; and their friends: the page Johan and his young friend Peewit, and the wizard Homnibus. There are 105 Smurfs.

Smurf comics

Since the first appearance of the Smurfs in Johan et Pirlouit in 1958, 39 Smurf comics volumes have been created, 16 of them by Peyo, the others by his studio. Originally, the Smurf stories appeared in Spirou magazine with reprints in many different magazines, but after Peyo left the publisher Dupuis, many comics were first published in dedicated Smurf magazines, which existed in French, Dutch, German and Turkish. A number of short stories and one page gags have been collected into comic books next to the regular series of 39. English translations have been published in the U.S. by the graphic novel publisher Papercutz as well as a mini series published by Marvel Comics in the mid-1980s.

Other media

Motion pictures

In 1965, a black-and-white 87-minute animated film called Les Aventures des Schtroumpfs was released in theatres in Belgium. It consisted of five short cartoons made in the previous years for broadcasting on Walloon TV. German copies and copies with Dutch subtitles are known to exist. The stories were based on existing Smurf stories like The Black Smurfs and The Smurfs and the Egg, and were created by writer Maurice Rosy and artist Eddy Ryssack from the small Dupuis animation studios.^[13] In total, ten animated shorts were created between 1961 and 1967, the first series in black and white and the later ones in colour.

In 1976, La Flûte à six schtroumpfs (an adaptation of the original «Johan et Pirlouit» story) was released. Michel Legrand provided the musical score to the film. The film would be released in the United States in 1983 (after the animated series became popular there) in an English language dubbed version titled The Smurfs and the Magic Flute. A few more full-length Smurf films were made, most notably The Baby Smurf and Here are the Smurfs.</ref> created from episodes of the Hanna-Barbera television cartoon series.

Sony Pictures announced plans to begin a trilogy of live-action/computer-animated Smurf films, with the first film released on July 29, 2011;^[14] the project had been in various stages of development since 2003.^[15] In June 2008, it was announced that Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Animation had acquired film rights from Lafig Belgium. Jordan Kerner produced the film, with the screenwriters including Shrek 2 and Shrek the Third screenwriters J. David Stem and David N. Weiss.^[16][17] The film stars Jonathan Winters as Papa Smurf, Katy Perry as Smurfette, George Lopez as Grouchy Smurf, Gary Basaraba as Hefty Smurf, John Oliver as Vanity Smurf, Alan Cumming as Gutsy Smurf, Paul Reubens as Jokey Smurf, Hank Azaria as Gargamel, Neil Patrick Harris as Patrick Winslow and Jayma Mays as Grace Winslow, a couple in New York who help the Smurfs get back to their village. It was suggested that Quentin Tarantino would play Brainy Smurf, but this «didn’t work out» so Fred Armisen voices Brainy instead.^[18] A CGI/traditionally animated mini-film, titled The Smurfs: A Christmas Carol, was released on December 2, 2011, on The Smurfs DVD and Blu-ray.^[19] A sequel to The Smurfs, titled The Smurfs 2, was released on July 31, 2013.^[20] A fully animated Smurfs reboot film, Smurfs: The Lost Village, was released on April 7, 2017, with Demi Lovato starring as Smurfette.^[21]

At CinemaCon on August 25, 2021, it was announced that a new Smurfs movie is in the works. The movie will be a musical and it is planned for a 2024 release for Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon.^[5] In August 2022, Paramount Pictures announced that the movie was pushed back to February 14, 2025, in favor to Sonic the Hedgehog 3.^[22]

Television series

The Smurfs secured their place in North American pop culture in 1981, when the Saturday morning cartoon series The Smurfs, produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions in association with SEPP International S.à.r.l., aired on NBC from September 12, 1981, to December 2, 1989 (reruns until August 25, 1990). The show continued to air on the USA network until 1993, and on Cartoon Network until 2003. The Smurfs is still broadcast on the Boomerang channel throughout the United States. The show became a major success for NBC, spawning spin-off television specials on an almost yearly basis. The Smurfs was nominated multiple times for Daytime Emmy awards, and won Outstanding Children’s Entertainment Series in 1982–1983.^[15] The Smurfs television show enjoyed continued success until 1990, when, after nearly a decade of success, NBC cancelled it due to decreasing ratings and plans to extend their Today morning show franchise to create a Saturday edition, although they did not do so until 1992, two years later. The decreased ratings were the result of the network changing the format of the show, resulting in the final season featuring regular time travel with only a few Smurfs.

In the TV series, many classical masterpieces are used as background music during the episodes, among them Franz Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony (Symphony No. 8 in B minor), Edvard Grieg’s Peer Gynt and Modest Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition.^[23]

The Smurfs was named the 97th best animated series by IGN. It has been called «kiddie cocaine» for people growing up during the 1980s.^[24]

On August 31, 2017, it was announced that IMPS and Dupuis Audiovisuel would be working on the new Smurfs TV series with CGI animation. The series was scheduled for 2020 but postponed to 2021. It is co produced by Ketnet (Flanders), TF1 (France), KiKa (Germany),^[25] OUFTIVI (Wallonia), Peyo Productions, and Dupuis Audiovisuel^[26][27][28] (the TV branch of the comics publisher). It shows new stories, not adaptations of comics or other older stories.^[29] Nickelodeon picked up the series for a 2021 release in the United States.^[30]

On February 26, 2008, Warner Home Video released Season 1 Volume 1 on DVD, containing the first 19 episodes. On October 7, 2008, Warner Bros. released Season 1 Volume 2 on DVD, containing the remaining 20 episodes from season 1. Though Warner Bros. has decided to discontinue the season sets and release single-disc volume sets instead, they are reportedly still following the correct order of episodes.^{[citation needed]}

Crossovers

Papa Smurf, Hefty Smurf, and Brainy Smurf appeared in the cartoon crossover Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue along with Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck (from the Looney Tunes franchise), Huey, Dewey and Louie (from DuckTales), Winnie the Pooh and Tigger, Garfield, Alvin and the Chipmunks, the Muppet Babies (Kermit, Piggy and Gonzo respectively), Slimer (from The Real Ghostbusters), ALF, and Michelangelo (from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles). Smurfette appeared on the promotional poster, but never^{[clarification needed]} appeared in the actual film.

Merchandising

From 1959 until the end of the 1960s, Dupuis produced Smurf figurines. But the best known and most widely available Smurf figurines are those made by Schleich, a German toy company. Most of the Smurf figurines given away as promotional material (e.g. by National Garages in the 1970s and McDonald’s in the 1990s) are also made by Schleich. New Smurf figures continue to appear; in fact, only in two years since 1969 (1991 and 1998) have no new Smurfs entered the market. Schleich currently produces 8 to 12 new figurines a year. Over 300 million of them have been sold so far.^[15]

Other Smurf figurines have been created for advertising purposes, e.g. worldwide for McDonald’s and Kinder Surprise, or nationally for e.g. Albert Heijn in the Netherlands, and Delhaize in Belgium. Special Smurf comics were often created for advertising campaigns. This started in the 1960s for Kwatta and Kellogg’s, and later for companies like BP in the UK and Australia, or Benco (a Dutch chocolate drink).^[44] These comics were often only part of a larger campaign, e.g. the Benco comics were accompanied by a TV ad.^[45]

A Smurf balloon/float/Falloon (which is half float, half balloon) continues to be presented in holiday parades such as Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.^[46]

Smurfs had two cereals in the 1980s made by Post Cereals: Smurf-Berry Crunch cereal and Smurfs Magic Berries. Both had animated commercials on Saturday morning. Two Smurfs pastas, made by Chef Boyardee and DelVerde, were made in the 1980s as well. Also Libby’s and Heinz came out with Smurf-A-Getti canned pasta for the American and Canadian market.

The Smurfs had a commercial in the 1980s for the Mexican snack cake company Marinela Submarinos with a rare version of Smurfette (Pitufina) dressed in a red dress and her hair done in pigtails.

Music recordings

Over the decades, many singles and albums of Smurf music have been released in different countries and languages, sometimes very successfully, with millions of copies sold. The best known is the single The Smurf Song and its accompanying album, created by Dutch musician Pierre Kartner who sang under the alias Father Abraham, which reached the #1 position in 16 countries. Worldwide, more than 10 million CDs with Smurf music have been sold between 2005 and 2007 alone.^[15]

In 1989, I.M.P.S and R-Tek Music, International created Smurfin!: Tenth Anniversary Commemorative Album, released by Quality Special Products in Canada and the United States and Dino Music in Australia. It was also released in parts of Europe. The Album came out on LP, CD and cassette. The LP featured 20 tracks (The Canadian CD and cassette had 16, the American CD had 10). The songs were covers of popular songs like «Surfin’ U.S.A.», «Kokomo», «The Lion Sleeps Tonight», and «I Think We’re Alone Now», as well as two original songs.

Smurfs on Ice

For several years, the Smurfs were the children’s act in the Ice Capades travelling ice show. After they were retired from that function, the Smurf suits from the show were issued to Ice Capades Chalets, the show’s subsidiary chain of ice rinks, lasting until the show was sold to a group of investors led by Dorothy Hamill. The Chalets were sold to Recreation World. The Smurfette suit in particular had a somewhat different hairstyle from what was portrayed in the Hanna-Barbera cartoons.

Smurfs in theme parks

In 1984, the Smurfs began appearing in North American theme parks owned by Kings Entertainment Corporation. Each park featured a Smurf attraction and Smurf walk-around figures. Canada’s Wonderland had an entire Smurf village to walk through, ending with Gargamel’s Castle. «The Smurfs’ Enchanted Voyage» was located in Kings Island. Kings Dominion has «Smurf Mountain». California’s Great America featured a pint-sized steel coaster, «The Blue Streak». Carowinds had an artificial island that was named Smurf Island that had a Smurf village—including toadstool houses which could be entered. Hanna–Barbera Land had a Smurf district.

In 1989, in the French region of Lorraine, the Sorépark group opened a complete Smurfpark, named Big Bang Schtroumpf. In 1991, the park was bought by the successful Belgian Walibi Group and renamed Walibi Schtroumpf with new attractions. After the Walibi Group was acquired by Six Flags, the park was named Walibi Lorraine, and all the Smurfs references in the park were removed in 2003.

Comics Station, Motiongate Dubai, Movie Animation Park Studios, and Dream Island feature Smurf sections.

Video games

The Smurfs have appeared in video games made for most major game consoles (including Nintendo’s NES, Super NES, and Game Boy systems, Atari 2600, ColecoVision, Sega’s Game Gear, Master System, Mega Drive and Mega CD systems, and the original Sony PlayStation) and for the PC. In 2010, the Smurfs expanded into the world of apps for Android, the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch with the game Smurf Village.

UNICEF

In 2005, an advertisement featuring The Smurfs was aired in Belgium in which the Smurf village is annihilated by warplanes.^[48] Designed as a UNICEF advertisement, and with the approval of the family of the Smurfs’ late creator Peyo, the 25-second episode was shown on the national television after the 9 p.m. timeslot to avoid children having to see it. It was the keystone in a fund-raising campaign by UNICEF’s Belgian arm to raise money for the rehabilitation of former child soldiers in Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo—both former Belgian colonies.

In honour of their 50th anniversary in 2008, the Smurfs began a year-long «Happy Smurfday Euro Tour» in connection with UNICEF. The Smurfs visited fifteen European countries on the day of their 50th «Smurfday» in the form of publicly distributed white figurines. The recipients could decorate and submit them to a competition. The results of this contest were auctioned off and raised a total amount of 124,700 euros for benefit of UNICEF.^[49]

Coins

The 50th anniversary of the Smurfs and the 80th anniversary of the birth of its creator Peyo, were celebrated by issuing a high-value collectors’ coin: the Belgian 5 euro 50th anniversary of The Smurfs commemorative coin, minted in 2008.

Sociological discussion

In 1998, writer Marc Schmidt wrote a parody article citing the Smurfs as an example of the impact of socialism in continental European culture.^[50][51] In 2011, Schmidt’s essay was scrutinised in a response essay by Kate Krake, who examined the nature of cultural theory built on textual observation and warned against creating false allegories out of texts like The Smurfs.^[52]

French sociologist Antoine Buéno described them in a 2011 book as a totalitarian and racist utopia.^[53] Studio Peyo head Thierry Culliford, the son of Peyo, dismissed Buéno’s accusations as «grotesque and frivolous».^[54]

The Smurfs (French: Les Schtroumpfs; Dutch: De Smurfen) is a Belgian comic franchise centered on a fictional colony of small, blue, humanoid creatures who live in mushroom-shaped houses in the forest. The Smurfs was first created and introduced as a series of comic characters by the Belgian comics artist Peyo (the pen name of Pierre Culliford) in 1958, wherein they were known as Les Schtroumpfs. There are more than 100 Smurf characters, and their names are based on adjectives that emphasise their characteristics, such as «Jokey Smurf», who likes to play practical jokes on his fellow Smurfs. «Smurfette» was the first female Smurf to be introduced in the series. The Smurfs wear Phrygian caps, which came to represent freedom during the modern era.

The word «smurf» is the original Dutch translation of the French «schtroumpf», which, according to Peyo, is a word he invented during a meal with fellow cartoonist André Franquin when he could not remember the word salt.^[1][2][3]

The Smurfs franchise began as a comic and expanded into advertising, films, TV series, ice capades, video games, theme parks, and toys.

Origin

At the time he came up with the idea for the Smurfs, Peyo was the creator, artist, and writer of the Franco-Belgian comics series titled Johan et Pirlouit (translated to English as Johan and Peewit), set in Europe during the Middle Ages and including elements of sword-and-sorcery. Johan serves as a brave young page to the king, and Peewit (called Pirlouit (pronounced Peer-loo-ee) in the original French version.) functions as his faithful, if boastful and cheating, midget sidekick. In 1958, Spirou magazine started to publish the Johan et Pirlouit story La Flûte à six trous («The Flute with Six Holes»).^[4] The adventure involved them recovering a magic flute, which required some sorcery by the wizard Homnibus. In this manner, they met a tiny, blue-skinned humanoid in white clothing called a «Schtroumpf», followed by his numerous peers who looked just like him, with an elderly leader who wore red clothing and had a white beard. Their first full appearance was published in Spirou on October 23, 1958.^[5] The characters proved to be a huge success, and the first independent Smurf stories appeared in Spirou in 1959, together with the first merchandising. The Smurfs shared more adventures with Johan and Pirlouit, got their own series and all subsequent publications of the original story were retitled La Flûte à six Schtroumpfs (also the title of the movie version of the story).

With the commercial success of the Smurfs came the merchandising empire of Smurf miniatures, models, games, and toys. Entire collecting clubs have devoted themselves to collecting PVC Smurfs and Smurf merchandise.

Name

Schtroumpf (IPA: [ʃtʁumf] (listen)) is pronounced like the German word «Strumpf» meaning «sock». However, according to Peyo, the original author of the Smurfs comic strip, the term and the accompanying language of the Smurfs came during a meal he had with his colleague and friend André Franquin at the Belgian Coast. Having momentarily forgotten the word «salt», Peyo asked him (in French) to pass the schtroumpf. Franquin jokingly replied, «Here’s the Schtroumpf—when you are done schtroumpfing, schtroumpf it back…» and the two spent the rest of that weekend speaking in «schtroumpf language».^[1][3] The name was later translated into Dutch as Smurf, which was adopted in English.^[2]

Both the comics and cartoons have been translated in many languages. In most cases, the original name «Schtroumpf» is replaced by a new term. The most common are variations on the Dutch translation «Smurf», while other names are indicative of their gnome-like appearance.

In English, they were briefly named the goblins in the book Dilly Duckling and the Goblins (1973) before being renamed the Smurfs.^[6]

In Spanish, they are called «Pitufos», a term invented by Miguel Agustí who was the head of the Spanish magazine Strong which first published the cartoon in Spanish. According to Agustí, he was walking around Barcelona while trying to come up a name for the cartoon. He came across a sculpture of the Ox of Patufet and was inspired by the word Patufet. From Patufet he derived the non-existent word Pitufo. The name later spread to most Spanish-language versions of the cartoon.^[7]

Smurfs universe

Smurfs

The storylines tend to be simple tales of bold adventure. The cast has a simple structure as well: almost all the characters look essentially alike—mostly male (a few female Smurfs have appeared: Smurfette, Sassette, and Nanny Smurf), short («three apples high»),^[8] with blue skin, white trousers with a hole for their short tails, white hat in the style of a Phrygian cap, and sometimes some additional accessory that identifies a personality (for example, «Handy Smurf» wears overalls instead of the standard trousers, a brimmed hat, and a pencil above his ear). Smurfs can walk and run, but often move by skipping on both feet. They love to eat sarsaparilla (a species of Smilax) leaves, whose berries the Smurfs naturally call «smurfberries». The smurfberries appear only in the cartoon; in the original comics, the Smurfs only eat the leaves from the sarsaparilla.

The Smurfs fulfill simple archetypes of everyday people: «Lazy Smurf», «Grouchy Smurf», «Brainy Smurf», and so on. All Smurfs, with the exception of Papa, Baby, Smurfette, Nanny and Grandpa, are said to be 100 years old. There were originally 99 Smurfs, but this number increased as new Smurf characters appeared, such as Sassette and Nanny. All of the original Smurfs were male; later female additions are Smurfette and Sassette. Smurfette was Gargamel’s creation, while Sassette was created by the Smurflings.

Language

A characteristic of the Smurf language is the frequent use of the undefinable word «smurf» and its derivatives in a variety of meanings. The Smurfs frequently replace both nouns and verbs in everyday speech with the word «smurf»: «We’re going smurfing on the River Smurf today.» When used as a verb, «to smurf» typically means «to make», «to be», «to like», or «to do».

Humans have found that replacing ordinary words with the term «smurf» at random is not enough: in one adventure, Peewit explains to some other humans that the statement «I’m smurfing to the smurf» means «I’m going to the wood», but a Smurf corrects him by saying that the proper statement would be «I’m smurfing to the smurf»; whereas what Peewit said was «I’m warbling to the dawn». So «I’m smurfing to the smurf» is not the same as «I’m smurfing to the smurf».^[9]

In the animated series, only some words (or a portion of the word) are replaced with the word «smurf». Context offers a reliable understanding of this speech pattern, but common vocabulary includes remarking that something is «just smurfy» or in some cases, «smurftastic».

In Schtroumpf vert et vert Schtroumpf (see Smurf Versus Smurf), published in Belgium in 1972, it was revealed that the smurf village was divided between North and South, and that the Smurfs on either side had different ideas as to how the term «smurf» should be used: for instance, the Northern Smurfs called a certain object a «bottle smurfer», while the Southern Smurfs called it a «smurf opener». This story is considered a parody on the still ongoing taalstrijd (language war) between French- and Dutch-speaking communities in Belgium.^[10]

Smurf village

When they first appeared in 1958, the Smurfs lived in a part of the world called «Le Pays Maudit» (French for «the Cursed Land»). To reach it required magic or travelling through dense forests, deep marshes, a scorching desert and a high mountain range.^[11] The Smurfs themselves use storks in order to travel long distances, such as to the kingdom where Johan and Pirlouit live, and keep up-to-date with events in the outside world.^[12]

In the Johan et Pirlouit stories, the Smurf village is made up of mushroom-like houses of different shapes and sizes in a desolate and rocky land with just a few trees. However, in the Smurf series itself, the mushroom-like houses are more similar to one another and are located in a clearing in the middle of a deep forest with grass, a river, and vegetation. Humans such as Gargamel are shown to live nearby, though it is almost impossible for an outsider to find the Smurf village except when led by a Smurf.

Characters

Papa Smurf is the leader of the community. Other Smurfs are generally named after their personality disposition, much like Disney’s Seven Dwarfs; for example, Brainy, Greedy, Vanity, Lazy, Clumsy, Hefty, Jokey, Dreamy, Grouchy, or their profession, for example, Poet, Actor, Handy, Harmony, Farmer, Clockwork, Painter, Tailor, Miner, Architect, Reporter, Timber, Barber and Doctor Smurf. The first female Smurf, Smurfette, was created by Gargamel to lure the other Smurfs. Papa Smurf then changed her into what we see today. The non-Smurf characters who would appear later would include their enemies: the wizard Gargamel, his cat Azrael, an ugly witch Hogatha, and Gargamel’s godfather Balthazar; and their friends: the page Johan and his young friend Peewit, and the wizard Homnibus. There are 105 Smurfs.

Smurf comics

Since the first appearance of the Smurfs in Johan et Pirlouit in 1958, 39 Smurf comics volumes have been created, 16 of them by Peyo, the others by his studio. Originally, the Smurf stories appeared in Spirou magazine with reprints in many different magazines, but after Peyo left the publisher Dupuis, many comics were first published in dedicated Smurf magazines, which existed in French, Dutch, German and Turkish. A number of short stories and one page gags have been collected into comic books next to the regular series of 39. English translations have been published in the U.S. by the graphic novel publisher Papercutz as well as a mini series published by Marvel Comics in the mid-1980s.

Other media

Motion pictures

In 1965, a black-and-white 87-minute animated film called Les Aventures des Schtroumpfs was released in theatres in Belgium. It consisted of five short cartoons made in the previous years for broadcasting on Walloon TV. German copies and copies with Dutch subtitles are known to exist. The stories were based on existing Smurf stories like The Black Smurfs and The Smurfs and the Egg, and were created by writer Maurice Rosy and artist Eddy Ryssack from the small Dupuis animation studios.^[13] In total, ten animated shorts were created between 1961 and 1967, the first series in black and white and the later ones in colour.

In 1976, La Flûte à six schtroumpfs (an adaptation of the original «Johan et Pirlouit» story) was released. Michel Legrand provided the musical score to the film. The film would be released in the United States in 1983 (after the animated series became popular there) in an English language dubbed version titled The Smurfs and the Magic Flute. A few more full-length Smurf films were made, most notably The Baby Smurf and Here are the Smurfs.</ref> created from episodes of the Hanna-Barbera television cartoon series.

Sony Pictures announced plans to begin a trilogy of live-action/computer-animated Smurf films, with the first film released on July 29, 2011;^[14] the project had been in various stages of development since 2003.^[15] In June 2008, it was announced that Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Animation had acquired film rights from Lafig Belgium. Jordan Kerner produced the film, with the screenwriters including Shrek 2 and Shrek the Third screenwriters J. David Stem and David N. Weiss.^[16][17] The film stars Jonathan Winters as Papa Smurf, Katy Perry as Smurfette, George Lopez as Grouchy Smurf, Gary Basaraba as Hefty Smurf, John Oliver as Vanity Smurf, Alan Cumming as Gutsy Smurf, Paul Reubens as Jokey Smurf, Hank Azaria as Gargamel, Neil Patrick Harris as Patrick Winslow and Jayma Mays as Grace Winslow, a couple in New York who help the Smurfs get back to their village. It was suggested that Quentin Tarantino would play Brainy Smurf, but this «didn’t work out» so Fred Armisen voices Brainy instead.^[18] A CGI/traditionally animated mini-film, titled The Smurfs: A Christmas Carol, was released on December 2, 2011, on The Smurfs DVD and Blu-ray.^[19] A sequel to The Smurfs, titled The Smurfs 2, was released on July 31, 2013.^[20] A fully animated Smurfs reboot film, Smurfs: The Lost Village, was released on April 7, 2017, with Demi Lovato starring as Smurfette.^[21]

At CinemaCon on August 25, 2021, it was announced that a new Smurfs movie is in the works. The movie will be a musical and it is planned for a 2024 release for Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon.^[5] In August 2022, Paramount Pictures announced that the movie was pushed back to February 14, 2025, in favor to Sonic the Hedgehog 3.^[22]

Television series

The Smurfs secured their place in North American pop culture in 1981, when the Saturday morning cartoon series The Smurfs, produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions in association with SEPP International S.à.r.l., aired on NBC from September 12, 1981, to December 2, 1989 (reruns until August 25, 1990). The show continued to air on the USA network until 1993, and on Cartoon Network until 2003. The Smurfs is still broadcast on the Boomerang channel throughout the United States. The show became a major success for NBC, spawning spin-off television specials on an almost yearly basis. The Smurfs was nominated multiple times for Daytime Emmy awards, and won Outstanding Children’s Entertainment Series in 1982–1983.^[15] The Smurfs television show enjoyed continued success until 1990, when, after nearly a decade of success, NBC cancelled it due to decreasing ratings and plans to extend their Today morning show franchise to create a Saturday edition, although they did not do so until 1992, two years later. The decreased ratings were the result of the network changing the format of the show, resulting in the final season featuring regular time travel with only a few Smurfs.

In the TV series, many classical masterpieces are used as background music during the episodes, among them Franz Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony (Symphony No. 8 in B minor), Edvard Grieg’s Peer Gynt and Modest Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition.^[23]

The Smurfs was named the 97th best animated series by IGN. It has been called «kiddie cocaine» for people growing up during the 1980s.^[24]

On August 31, 2017, it was announced that IMPS and Dupuis Audiovisuel would be working on the new Smurfs TV series with CGI animation. The series was scheduled for 2020 but postponed to 2021. It is co produced by Ketnet (Flanders), TF1 (France), KiKa (Germany),^[25] OUFTIVI (Wallonia), Peyo Productions, and Dupuis Audiovisuel^[26][27][28] (the TV branch of the comics publisher). It shows new stories, not adaptations of comics or other older stories.^[29] Nickelodeon picked up the series for a 2021 release in the United States.^[30]

DVD releases

On February 26, 2008, Warner Home Video released Season 1 Volume 1 on DVD, containing the first 19 episodes. On October 7, 2008, Warner Bros. released Season 1 Volume 2 on DVD, containing the remaining 20 episodes from season 1. Though Warner Bros. has decided to discontinue the season sets and release single-disc volume sets instead, they are reportedly still following the correct order of episodes.^{[citation needed]}

Crossovers

Papa Smurf, Hefty Smurf, and Brainy Smurf appeared in the cartoon crossover Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue along with Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck (from the Looney Tunes franchise), Huey, Dewey and Louie (from DuckTales), Winnie the Pooh and Tigger, Garfield, Alvin and the Chipmunks, the Muppet Babies (Kermit, Piggy and Gonzo respectively), Slimer (from The Real Ghostbusters), ALF, and Michelangelo (from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles). Smurfette appeared on the promotional poster, but never^{[clarification needed]} appeared in the actual film.

Merchandising

From 1959 until the end of the 1960s, Dupuis produced Smurf figurines. But the best known and most widely available Smurf figurines are those made by Schleich, a German toy company. Most of the Smurf figurines given away as promotional material (e.g. by National Garages in the 1970s and McDonald’s in the 1990s) are also made by Schleich. New Smurf figures continue to appear; in fact, only in two years since 1969 (1991 and 1998) have no new Smurfs entered the market. Schleich currently produces 8 to 12 new figurines a year. Over 300 million of them have been sold so far.^[15]

Other Smurf figurines have been created for advertising purposes, e.g. worldwide for McDonald’s and Kinder Surprise, or nationally for e.g. Albert Heijn in the Netherlands, and Delhaize in Belgium. Special Smurf comics were often created for advertising campaigns. This started in the 1960s for Kwatta and Kellogg’s, and later for companies like BP in the UK and Australia, or Benco (a Dutch chocolate drink).^[44] These comics were often only part of a larger campaign, e.g. the Benco comics were accompanied by a TV ad.^[45]

A Smurf balloon/float/Falloon (which is half float, half balloon) continues to be presented in holiday parades such as Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.^[46]

Smurfs had two cereals in the 1980s made by Post Cereals: Smurf-Berry Crunch cereal and Smurfs Magic Berries. Both had animated commercials on Saturday morning. Two Smurfs pastas, made by Chef Boyardee and DelVerde, were made in the 1980s as well. Also Libby’s and Heinz came out with Smurf-A-Getti canned pasta for the American and Canadian market.

The Smurfs had a commercial in the 1980s for the Mexican snack cake company Marinela Submarinos with a rare version of Smurfette (Pitufina) dressed in a red dress and her hair done in pigtails.

Music recordings

Over the decades, many singles and albums of Smurf music have been released in different countries and languages, sometimes very successfully, with millions of copies sold. The best known is the single The Smurf Song and its accompanying album, created by Dutch musician Pierre Kartner who sang under the alias Father Abraham, which reached the #1 position in 16 countries. Worldwide, more than 10 million CDs with Smurf music have been sold between 2005 and 2007 alone.^[15]

In 1989, I.M.P.S and R-Tek Music, International created Smurfin!: Tenth Anniversary Commemorative Album, released by Quality Special Products in Canada and the United States and Dino Music in Australia. It was also released in parts of Europe. The Album came out on LP, CD and cassette. The LP featured 20 tracks (The Canadian CD and cassette had 16, the American CD had 10). The songs were covers of popular songs like «Surfin’ U.S.A.», «Kokomo», «The Lion Sleeps Tonight», and «I Think We’re Alone Now», as well as two original songs.

Smurfs on Ice

For several years, the Smurfs were the children’s act in the Ice Capades travelling ice show. After they were retired from that function, the Smurf suits from the show were issued to Ice Capades Chalets, the show’s subsidiary chain of ice rinks, lasting until the show was sold to a group of investors led by Dorothy Hamill. The Chalets were sold to Recreation World. The Smurfette suit in particular had a somewhat different hairstyle from what was portrayed in the Hanna-Barbera cartoons.

Smurfs in theme parks

In 1984, the Smurfs began appearing in North American theme parks owned by Kings Entertainment Corporation. Each park featured a Smurf attraction and Smurf walk-around figures. Canada’s Wonderland had an entire Smurf village to walk through, ending with Gargamel’s Castle. «The Smurfs’ Enchanted Voyage» was located in Kings Island. Kings Dominion has «Smurf Mountain». California’s Great America featured a pint-sized steel coaster, «The Blue Streak». Carowinds had an artificial island that was named Smurf Island that had a Smurf village—including toadstool houses which could be entered. Hanna–Barbera Land had a Smurf district.

In 1989, in the French region of Lorraine, the Sorépark group opened a complete Smurfpark, named Big Bang Schtroumpf. In 1991, the park was bought by the successful Belgian Walibi Group and renamed Walibi Schtroumpf with new attractions. After the Walibi Group was acquired by Six Flags, the park was named Walibi Lorraine, and all the Smurfs references in the park were removed in 2003.

Comics Station, Motiongate Dubai, Movie Animation Park Studios, and Dream Island feature Smurf sections.

Video games

The Smurfs have appeared in video games made for most major game consoles (including Nintendo’s NES, Super NES, and Game Boy systems, Atari 2600, ColecoVision, Sega’s Game Gear, Master System, Mega Drive and Mega CD systems, and the original Sony PlayStation) and for the PC. In 2010, the Smurfs expanded into the world of apps for Android, the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch with the game Smurf Village.

UNICEF

In 2005, an advertisement featuring The Smurfs was aired in Belgium in which the Smurf village is annihilated by warplanes.^[48] Designed as a UNICEF advertisement, and with the approval of the family of the Smurfs’ late creator Peyo, the 25-second episode was shown on the national television after the 9 p.m. timeslot to avoid children having to see it. It was the keystone in a fund-raising campaign by UNICEF’s Belgian arm to raise money for the rehabilitation of former child soldiers in Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo—both former Belgian colonies.

In honour of their 50th anniversary in 2008, the Smurfs began a year-long «Happy Smurfday Euro Tour» in connection with UNICEF. The Smurfs visited fifteen European countries on the day of their 50th «Smurfday» in the form of publicly distributed white figurines. The recipients could decorate and submit them to a competition. The results of this contest were auctioned off and raised a total amount of 124,700 euros for benefit of UNICEF.^[49]

Coins

The 50th anniversary of the Smurfs and the 80th anniversary of the birth of its creator Peyo, were celebrated by issuing a high-value collectors’ coin: the Belgian 5 euro 50th anniversary of The Smurfs commemorative coin, minted in 2008.

Sociological discussion

In 1998, writer Marc Schmidt wrote a parody article citing the Smurfs as an example of the impact of socialism in continental European culture.^[50][51] In 2011, Schmidt’s essay was scrutinised in a response essay by Kate Krake, who examined the nature of cultural theory built on textual observation and warned against creating false allegories out of texts like The Smurfs.^[52]

French sociologist Antoine Buéno described them in a 2011 book as a totalitarian and racist utopia.^[53] Studio Peyo head Thierry Culliford, the son of Peyo, dismissed Buéno’s accusations as «grotesque and frivolous».^[54]

You may also be looking for the cartoon episode called «The Smurflings», or its comic book adaption.

The Smurflings are a group of four young Smurfs who are main characters of the 1981 Smurfs cartoon show from Season 5 to 8 (with only Sassette and Snappy appearing in Season 9) and minor characters of the comic books. They live together in their own playhouse made from a tree stump.

The group consists of:

• Nat — A Smurfling who loves animals and wears brown ragged pants (held up by a single suspender) and a straw hat. He is the de facto leader of the Smurflings due to his slightly more mature attitude, often arguing with Snappy.
• Snappy — A Smurfling who gets irritated easily and snaps at others, especially when he doesn’t get his way. He wears a yellow shirt with a thunder cloud on it. Some see him as the «self-proclaimed leader» of the Smurflings.
• Slouchy — A calm, laid-back Smurfling who wears a red shirt and a drooping Smurf hat. He is the shortest of the Smurflings (probably because he slouches too much).
• Sassette — The only girl Smurfling. She wears pink overalls and has ginger hair with braided pigtails. She seems to be the smartest of the four Smurflings, as well as the most emotional.

Origins

The boy Smurflings were originally adult Smurfs who were de-aged to around 50 years old due to Father Time’s backwards-running grandfather clock. Their unique outfits were picked out by themselves, much to Tailor Smurf’s disapproval.

Sassette is a girl Smurfling who was magically created by the three boys in the episode of the same name, with the intention of making a sister for Smurfette. She was made with the same formula used for the creation of the latter, though with less clay. The boys got in trouble for doing so and were forced to do several chores as punishment.

Role In The Village

The Smurflings are a tight knit group and can be seen playing together in (and out of) Smurf Village frequently. They often get into more trouble than their adult peers but are sometimes capable of saving them or themselves from danger.

The Smurflings are also often seen doing various chores and activities for the Smurfs, such as helping Farmer with harvesting crops in his fields and Greedy with serving (and baking) his various goodies.

Relationships With Others

On occasion, the Smurflings play with Baby Smurf. They don’t enjoy doing so in the episode «Unsound Smurfs», but soon warm up to the infant. In «Bringing Up Bigfeet», the group wanted to watch over Baby, but were told that babysitting was no job for Smurfs their age. Disappointed, the Smurflings then offer to take care of Bigmouth and Bignose’s nephew Bigfeet while the couple go to the Ogre Ball.

Although Puppy was a gift for Papa Smurf, he seems to be more the Smurflings’ (and Baby’s) pet, as they’re often seen playing with the dog or using him as a form of transportation. In «Smurf Pet», the Smurflings try to sneak a Nebbit into the village as another pet (with chaotic results) before having to send it back home.

Out of all the adult Smurfs in the village, the Smurflings seem to be closer with Papa Smurf and Smurfette. Papa Smurf, just like how he is portrayed by the adult Smurfs, acts as a father figure to the Smurflings. Meanwhile, in a follow-up story in «The Wild Smurf» titled «School For Fairies», it was revealed how Smurfette acts as a teacher for the Smurflings, having to provide them education from time to time.

The Smurflings once made a friend in the form of Ripple, a mischievous prankster of a wood sprite who ended up causing more problems for them and others than expected.

in Season 5 of the 1981 cartoon show, they barely had the chance to meet Peewit, who is a friend of the adult Smurfs.

In Season 6 of the 1981 cartoon show, they obtain somewhat of a rival in the young Scruple.

In Season 8 of the 1981 cartoon show, they become friends with Balthazar’s niece, Denisa.

Band

The Smurflings form their own band (originally excluding Sassette because she was yet to be created). The music they play is considered «new» and «different», receiving mixed reactions from the older Smurfs. Only Brainy voiced complete disgust for the Smurflings’ music when they made their debut, as it didn’t sound very traditional.

• Nat plays a washtub bass.
• Slouchy plays the Saxophone.
• Snappy plays the drums.
• Sassette plays the piano.

In the 1981 cartoon show, the instruments the Smurflings play in their band performances (or otherwise) aren’t completely set in stone and thus can differ from episode to episode.

Other Smurflings

Besides the four main Smurflings in Smurfs media, the adult Smurfs have at one time or another been changed into Smurflings through other magical means.

In the episode «The Fountain Of Smurf», Papa Smurf was changed into a Smurfling by unknowingly drinking water from the Fountain Of Youth; it took some work in his laboratory to restore himself to his normal age.

In «Smurf Van Winkle», Lazy accidentally caused his fellow Smurfs to become Smurflings by using a youth formula on them when he originally assumed that they were now elderly Smurfs, only to reveal that they have been using fake beards and other disguises to make themselves appear elderly. Papa Smurf created a counter-formula that restored the de-aged Smurfs to their normal ages, though in the process the same formula turned Gargamel into an old man.

In Season 9’s «Grandpa’s Fountain Of Youth», Grandpa Smurf became a Smurfling through a Fountain Of Youth much like Papa. Although, in Grandpa’s case, his beard didn’t disappear when he was de-aged.

Unlike these situations, the three boy Smurflings were never magically restored to their proper ages in the 1981 cartoon show simply because Father Time had no way of causing time to go forward in the same way he was able to make time go backward, while in the comic books, the three boy Smurflings were never magically restored to their proper ages as they liked how they are.

Stachel-ing Smurf, a character created for the Smurfs’ Village game as an April Fool’s Day joke, was originally introduced by Beeline (the then-developers) on social media as the new «fifth Smurfling». Stachel-ing’s namesake was his mustache and five-o’clock shadow. He was also said to have a hut that provided a mini game.

• Snappy and Slouchy are the only known Smurfs in the cartoon show to wear t-shirts.
• In the cartoon show, the boy Smurflings seem to have no recollection of their past except going to Father Time’s workshop and knowing who the other Smurfs are. In the comic books, however, the boy Smurflings are pretty much aware of their past as former adult Smurfs.
• The age of the Smurflings appears to be around 8-11 in human years; they don’t look like kindergartens, but rather like pre-teens.
• The Smurflings appear much more in the cartoon show than in the comic books, where (besides their origin story) their only other appearance as main characters is in the album The Smurfs Halloween. Sassette and Snappy are also given cameo appearances in Can’t Smurf Progress.
• The Smurflings did not have many human friends aside from Peewit, as most of the humans were phased out before season 5 or those humans appeared in stories that don’t feature them.

You may also be looking for the cartoon episode called «The Smurflings», or its comic book adaption.

The Smurflings are a group of four young Smurfs who are main characters of the 1981 Smurfs cartoon show from Season 5 to 8 (with only Sassette and Snappy appearing in Season 9) and minor characters of the comic books. They live together in their own playhouse made from a tree stump.

The group consists of:

• Nat — A Smurfling who loves animals and wears brown ragged pants (held up by a single suspender) and a straw hat. He is the de facto leader of the Smurflings due to his slightly more mature attitude, often arguing with Snappy.
• Snappy — A Smurfling who gets irritated easily and snaps at others, especially when he doesn’t get his way. He wears a yellow shirt with a thunder cloud on it. Some see him as the «self-proclaimed leader» of the Smurflings.
• Slouchy — A calm, laid-back Smurfling who wears a red shirt and a drooping Smurf hat. He is the shortest of the Smurflings (probably because he slouches too much).
• Sassette — The only girl Smurfling. She wears pink overalls and has ginger hair with braided pigtails. She seems to be the smartest of the four Smurflings, as well as the most emotional.

Origins

The boy Smurflings were originally adult Smurfs who were de-aged to around 50 years old due to Father Time’s backwards-running grandfather clock. Their unique outfits were picked out by themselves, much to Tailor Smurf’s disapproval.

Sassette is a girl Smurfling who was magically created by the three boys in the episode of the same name, with the intention of making a sister for Smurfette. She was made with the same formula used for the creation of the latter, though with less clay. The boys got in trouble for doing so and were forced to do several chores as punishment.

Role In The Village

The Smurflings are a tight knit group and can be seen playing together in (and out of) Smurf Village frequently. They often get into more trouble than their adult peers but are sometimes capable of saving them or themselves from danger.

The Smurflings are also often seen doing various chores and activities for the Smurfs, such as helping Farmer with harvesting crops in his fields and Greedy with serving (and baking) his various goodies.

Relationships With Others

On occasion, the Smurflings play with Baby Smurf. They don’t enjoy doing so in the episode «Unsound Smurfs», but soon warm up to the infant. In «Bringing Up Bigfeet», the group wanted to watch over Baby, but were told that babysitting was no job for Smurfs their age. Disappointed, the Smurflings then offer to take care of Bigmouth and Bignose’s nephew Bigfeet while the couple go to the Ogre Ball.

Although Puppy was a gift for Papa Smurf, he seems to be more the Smurflings’ (and Baby’s) pet, as they’re often seen playing with the dog or using him as a form of transportation. In «Smurf Pet», the Smurflings try to sneak a Nebbit into the village as another pet (with chaotic results) before having to send it back home.

Out of all the adult Smurfs in the village, the Smurflings seem to be closer with Papa Smurf and Smurfette. Papa Smurf, just like how he is portrayed by the adult Smurfs, acts as a father figure to the Smurflings. Meanwhile, in a follow-up story in «The Wild Smurf» titled «School For Fairies», it was revealed how Smurfette acts as a teacher for the Smurflings, having to provide them education from time to time.

The Smurflings once made a friend in the form of Ripple, a mischievous prankster of a wood sprite who ended up causing more problems for them and others than expected.

in Season 5 of the 1981 cartoon show, they barely had the chance to meet Peewit, who is a friend of the adult Smurfs.

In Season 6 of the 1981 cartoon show, they obtain somewhat of a rival in the young Scruple.

In Season 8 of the 1981 cartoon show, they become friends with Balthazar’s niece, Denisa.

Band

The Smurflings form their own band (originally excluding Sassette because she was yet to be created). The music they play is considered «new» and «different», receiving mixed reactions from the older Smurfs. Only Brainy voiced complete disgust for the Smurflings’ music when they made their debut, as it didn’t sound very traditional.

• Nat plays a washtub bass.
• Slouchy plays the Saxophone.
• Snappy plays the drums.
• Sassette plays the piano.

In the 1981 cartoon show, the instruments the Smurflings play in their band performances (or otherwise) aren’t completely set in stone and thus can differ from episode to episode.

Смурфы (франц. рас. Les Schtroumpfs, Смурфики) — существа, придуманные и нарисованные бельгийским художником Пьером Кюллифором (Pierre Culliford), работавшим под псевдонимом Пейо (Peyo). Впервые мир увидел смурфов в журнале комиксов «Le Journal de Spirou» 23 октября 1958 года, в 1980-х начал выпускаться анимационный сериал «The Smurfs» — именно тогда в англоязычном мире произошел всплеск популярности этих маленьких существ. В России смурфы известны прежде всего благодаря игрушкам из шоколадных яиц и показу мультсериала на канале «Карусель».

Суть™[править]

Живут себе в волшебном лесу и никого не трогают маленькие синие — кто бы вы думали? Смурфы. Конкретно: 99 особей мужского пола и одна самка. Живут при социализме, так как денег не имеют и всем делятся пополам. Общаются друг с другом на эдаком «смурфоязе» — вполне человеческом языке, но с добавлением слова «смурф», например: «смурфить», «смурфнуться», «смурфный» и т. п. Добывают пропитание собирательством и сельским хозяйством. В том же лесу живет и Гаргамель, злой волшебник, который старается выпилить смурфов. Вот и вся суть. А ты чего хотел?

Персонажи[править]

Интересные факты[править]

• Смурф считается совершеннолетним по достижении возраста 150 лет. В мультфильме и комиксах средний возраст каждого около 130—140.

• Смурфорелигия — католическое язычество.

• Несмотря на то, что все смурфы из одной популяции, многие разговаривают с акцентом, соответствующим их занятиям. Больше всего в этом плане доставляет Портной, со своим еврейским расовым.

• Смурфы как бы веганы, но не совсем: частенько можно увидеть их уплетающими мясцо.

• Смурфы доставляются расовым алкогольным напитком собственного производства — настойкой сарсапариллы.

• Смурфы несут лучи добра и света в этот мир!

• При просмотре фильма можно и о смысле жизни подумать.Да-да, анон. У смурфов нет половых органов, под их белыми штанишками! И в этом — вся алогичность существования cмурфов. Какой смысл в жизни, если у тебя нет члена?

Экранизации[править]

Сабж не раз становился жертвой экранизаций. Разберемся по порядку:

Les Aventures des Schtroumpfs[править]

В далеком 1965 году смурфы впервые появились на экранах. Не поддается описанию, однако можно посмотреть одну серию здесь. Как видите, технологии еще не нано, поэтому мультфильм черно-белый. Позже из серии таких короткометражек склеили полуторачасовой мультфильм.

The Smurfs And The Magic Flute[править]

Первая (и, как тогда думали, последняя) полнометражная экранизация сабжа.

Smurfs[править]

Собственно, мультсериал. Эпичнейший (и единственный) вин смурфов на ваших голубых экранах. Несмотря на то что сериал и оригинальные комиксы довольно сильно разошлись в сюжетах, считается каноничным и православным и имеет лютую, бешеную популярность. Тру-смурфоеб может и не знать о комиксах, но мульт посмотреть обязан!

Содержание серий сводится не только к постоянной беготне от Гаргамела, но и вполне серьезным жизненным темам (что довольно необычно для мультфильмов тех лет). Также время от времени попадаются и грустно-лиричные истории. Но это не мешает просто отключить моск и наблюдать за жизнью синих человеков под веселую музычку.

Снят мультсериал в начале 80-х студией Hanna-Barbera. Состоит из девяти сезонов по 20-25 серий. С пятого сезона потихоньку начинает скатываться в сраное говно — сценаристы решили что нужно больше персонажоты и добавили неких «Smurflings», неведомую ебаную собаку, смурфодедушку и смурфобабушку, которые совершенно не нужны и отвлекают на себя слишком много внимания. В девятом сезоне решили добавить еще moar креатива, перенеся действие из смурфо-деревни в мир людей, разбавив все это перемещениями во времени. Конец немного предсказуем… Девятый сезон оказался настолько уебищным, что полностью похоронил сериал в 1991 году.

Несмотря на то, что мульт известен народным массам уже довольно давно, вспомнили о нем лишь в 2010 году, аккурат к выходу полнометражного фильма. До этого смурфосериал даже не издавался (если не считать несколько убогих релизов на VHS). Как можно было упустить такой гешефт — решительно непонятно. Сейчас издатели наверстывают упущенное, но на сегодняшний день издано почему-то только два сезона. В России так же, только с условием, что диск практически невозможно достать, благо есть торренты. Интересный факт: российский релиз вмещает один сезон на одном диске, а западные релизы на 4-х DVD, из чего можно сделать вывод о качестве рассеянского продукта.

The Smurfs[править]

Недавняя YOBA-экранизация, выпущенная в 2011 году каким-то индусом. Действие происходит в Нью-Йорке, куда смурфы случайно попали, спасаясь от Гаргамела. Является обыкновенной пиндосской хуитой, которой очень много выпускается в последнее время. Фирменный американский юмор, дурацкие спецэффекты и схватка Смурфетты с Азраэлем 80-го уровня один на один не дадут заскучать анону.

Среди фоннатов и простых зрителей хорошим тоном считается поливать фильм говном. Зато вин все же есть — мир опять вспомнил о подзабытых смурфах. К тому же, это один из немногих фильмов, на которые анон мог сходить в кинотеатр вместе со своими дражайшими детишками.

Творец и его тварение[править]

Отношения у самого Пейо со смурфами сложились довольно интересные. Вначале смурфы появились в его древнем комиксе о двух малолетних долбоебах. Чуть позже было принято решение раскрыть тему синежопых — выпущен отдельный комикс. Пипл схавал и потребовал еще. Машина для промывания моска запущена — комиксы, игрушки, книги, фигурки из ПВХ. Вскоре слава дошла до этой вашей сраной америкашки, где и сняли мультсериал, что вызвало вторую волну помешательства на синих человечках. Запахло деньгами и Пейо тут же спихнул всю работу на сторонних художников и сценаристов, а сам только получал денюшки за использование сабжа, чем по видимому прогневил Б-га. Здоровье Пейо пошло на убыль и в 1992 г. (в канун Рождества) маэстро приказал долго жить. Goodnight, sweet prince!

Надо сказать, многочисленные отпрыски Пейо до сих пор имеют неплохой профит (около 5-7 млн вечнозеленых в год) за использование как смурфов, так и псевдонима «Пейо» в качестве торговой марки. Вот такая ирония судьбы — смурфам не нужны деньги, но смурфы нужны деньгам.

Срачи[править]

Да, да! Даже в такой няшной и кавайной теме всегда найдется место срачу. Правда, в основном они происходили IRL, поэтому рядовому Анонимусу мало о них известно:

• Смурфов в свое время люто, бешено возненавидели феминистки, обвиняя создателей мульта в сексизме и утверждая, что бедную Смурфетту угнетают.

• Гомофобы и некоторая часть интеллектуального большинства с пеной у рта доказывают, что голубой окрас смурфов должен как бы намекать и требуют их перекрасить.

• Особенно ПГМ-нутые овуляшки негодуют на то, что в мультфильме очень часто раскрывается тема влюбленности и женитьбы, а шестилетним долбоебам о таких вещах знать пока рано. Травмированную детскую психику уже никогда не восстановишь — запомни, Анон!

• В один прекрасный день Пейо и компания выпустили новый комикс под названием «Черные смурфы», о том как в деревне смурфов появилась неведомая ебаная зараза. Распространялась она посредством укуса за хвост. После укуса зараженного смурфы чернели и тупели, что весьма огорчило известную часть человечества. Хотели устроить нашествие зомби, а получилось как всегда — мировая общественность не поняла гениального замысла. Поэтому в мультфильме вместо черных смурфов появятся фиолетовые.

• Смурфы таки есть антисемиты. То как они издеваются над бедным ЕРЖ Гаргамелем не ускользнуло от внимания всем известной организации. Защищая своего агента, вышеупомянутая организация начала информационную войну, о чем прочитаете ниже.

Алсо: смурфов судя по виду можно приравнивать и к фашикам и националистам: все смурфы носят белые колпаки на голове чем-то напоминающие колпаки Ку-клукс-клана (еще больше подливает масло в огонь тот факт, что простое смурфы носят белые колпаки, главарь же (как и в случае с KKK) носит красный колпак), в некоторых сценах можно наблюдать жесты похожие на зигу.

• Откровенно социалистические взгляды смурфов вызывают бурю эмоций у всего прогрессивного человечества и прочей либерастии.

• Есть мнение, что смурфы — агенты проклятых капиталистических свиней, а не коммунистов. Посмотрите на цены смурф-товаров (игрушки, книги, прочая хуйня) и сразу поймете обоснованность таких претензий.

Драма UNICEF[править]

Срач всех срачей. В 2005 году, примерно в 9 часов вечера по бельгийскому зомбоящику показали ролик фонда UNICEF, в котором деревню смурфов бомбят в мелкие ошметки. Говна взбурлили мгновенно и выплеснулись наружу, задев это ваше ООН. Негодующим хомячкам объясняли, что цель ролика — привлечь телезрителей к сбору средств для детей-сирот, потерявших родителей в войнах. Тут говнеца решили подкинуть из кабинетов самого ООН — они хотели добавить в видео побольше гуро, но потом передумали, а ролик был сделан не для детей. Но, блеадь, показали его почему-то в такое удобное время, когда вся малышня сидела около телевизоров и тихо охуевала от происходящего. Nuff said.

Кстати, семья Пейо дала полное одобрение на создание этой рекламы.

На данный момент хомячки разбились на два лагеря: одни одобряют (дескать призывает к человечности); другие поливают говном создателей ролика, фонд, ООН, семью Пейо и вообще всех, кто с этим связан.

Кстати, об «Аватаре»…[править]

Версия о том, что на’ви с далёкой Пандоры являются потомками смурфов, имеет право на существование в силу ряда общих признаков тех и других, которые трудно объяснить простым совпадением:

1. Антропоморфность и бипедальное прямохождение
2. Наличие малофункционального хвоста
3. Четырёхпалая хватательная конечность с противопоставляющимся большим пальцем.
4. Характерный синий цвет кожных покровов.

Изначальная мысль о том, что на’ви могли произойти от местных лемуроидов, не выдерживает никакой критики. Изначально существовала версия о том, что две передних пары лап лемуроидов срослись и превратились в пару рук разумных пандорян. Если бы это было так, в строении кисти на’ви прослеживались бы видимые невооружённым глазом свидетельства этого события (например, ладонь была бы похожа на клешню). Далее, плечевой сустав «прото-на’ви» на стадии, примерно соответствующей человекообразной обезьяне, сильно потерял бы в подвижности: за один шаг редукция «лишнего» сустава не произойдёт, и он будет сильно ограничивать подвижность руки, позволяя ей вращаться только вокруг оси, проходящей через оба сустава «сросшихся рук». С точки зрения эволюции такой шаг, явно снижающий приспособленность к среде обитания, маловероятен. И это является ещё одним доводом в пользу независимого происхождения на’ви с их четырьмя конечностями по отношению к прочей пандорской фауне «позвоночных», состоящей из шестиногих форм. Гораздо более вероятным продуктом эволюции существа со свободными хватательными конечностями на Пандоре был бы кентавроид. Но мы видим на Пандоре антропоморфных четверолапых прямоходящих на’ви.

Далее, биологический USB-разъём (на’вийск. расов. цахейла) у местной фауны присутствует в виде двух симметричных структур. У на’ви это одиночное образование, размещённое по центру. Это обстоятельство заставляет сделать вывод о том, что у на’ви это образование появилось не в ходе естественной эволюции, а, возможно, в результате целенаправленного вмешательства в геном.

Таким образом, есть серьёзные свидетельства в пользу того, что разумная жизнь на Пандоре появилась не в ходе естественной эволюции, а была привнесена извне. И наиболее вероятными кандидатами на роль предков на’ви являются смурфы. Высокий рост на’ви по сравнению с предковыми смурфами легко объясним эволюцией в условиях пониженной силы тяжести Пандоры и движущим естественным отбором в условиях присутствия в биосфере агрессивных макро-хищников.

Ещё одно свидетельство родства смурфов и на’ви можно обнаружить в культуре на’ви. У на’ви очень давнее время в их истории называется «Время первых песен». С другой стороны известно, что смурфы в повседневной жизни часто напевают одну и ту же песенку с привязчивым мотивом. Также традиции на’ви по приручению в качестве верховых животных различных летающих животных Пандоры явно ведут начало от традиции смурфов летать верхом на аистах.

Для подтверждения или опровержения данной гипотезы следует уделить больше внимания сравнительно-анатомическим исследованиям смурфов. Также желательно провести полное секвенирование генома смурфа; данная научная программа поможет освоить в полном объёме денежные средства в размере приблизительно 5 — 6 млн долларов с перспективами дальнейших финансовых вливаний.

Также, эта тема обыгрывается в South Park’е серии 1313-Танцы с гномами (смурфами) Dances With Smurfs. По мнению «Южного парка»: автор сценария Эрик Картман, после хитроумно до банального скопипиженного Венди и проданы ею права на экранизацию Джеймсу Кэмерону, так-то.

Алсо[править]

О житье мелких существ голубого цвета с единственной самкой писал незабвенный Терри Пратчетт, хотя он писал скорее под влиянием народного фольклора, однако не исключено, что и мульт видел. Впрочем, у Пратчетта фиглы, как называются эти существа в Плоском мире, постоянно пьют и дебоширят, а синий цвет кожи вызван большим количеством наколок.

Алсо, два смурфа засветились в первой серии мультсериала Drawn Together, где дрались между собой на ножах.

Смурфики (англ. Smurfs) — раса существ имеющий голубой цвет тела, которые также жили в лесах Евр

Деревня смурфов[]

— дом для всех смурфиков. Они живут в грибных домиках, которые проектирует Архитектор, а воплощает в жизнь Мастер.

Жизнь в деревне[]

Смурфики всегда живут в грусти, печали и злобе. Они всегда делятся друг с другом, прекрасно ладят с большинством животных ^[1].

Всеми смурфиками руководит Папа Смурф. Он отличается от остальных тем, что носит красную одежду, тогда как другие носят белую ^[2]. Папа Смурф — талантливый волшебник и алхимик. Поэтому под его руководством смурфы всегда одерживают победу над злом.

Роль остальных смурфов не менее важна. Каждый имеет свой уникальный характер и вносит свою лепту в жизнь деревни.

Война с Гаргамелем[]

• Опасная борьба с прокуроромневнимание в добро. Простак и Сассетта являются единственными смурфами, которые считают, что нужно иметь сострадания к нему, Смурфетта, Заноза и Крепыш после магической операции Папы Смурфа никогда не уделяли внимания в добро Гаргамеля. Наибольшей способностью к активному имению состраданий является Сассетта, хотя другие смурфы не согласны с её мнением. Гаргамель вечно голоден и хочет съесть смурфов из-за изменений характера. Эти изменения характера также повлияли на его маму, и она стала такой же, как Гаргамель.
• Смурфы никогда не простят Гаргамеля из-за угрозы превращения в золото или съедения.

Физические характеристики[]

Физически, Смурф, как правило, в росте измеряется «тремя яблоками» (в сравнении с человечским ростом, рост взрослого смурфа — 3 дюйма, в 2011 году фильм записывает их как — 7,5 дюйма), также у смурфов система несколько изменена, чем у человека. Ноги позволяют Смурфу прыгать на высокие места или через скалы и ветви. Смурфы могут бегать до 10 футов в секунду и иметь вертикальный или диагональный прыжок в 4-12 дюймов.

В основном, у смурфов преобладает только один пол: мужской. Очень немногие Смурфы женского пола.

Смурфы мужского пола в основном без волос. Также будут отсуствуют  волосы на лице (борода и/или усы) до тех пор, пока Смурфу не исполнится 400 лет, об этом сказал Папа Смурф в серии «Символы мудрости»,
Смурф Храбрец быстро отрастил свою бороду. Тысечелетний Дедушка Смурф является единственным Смурофм в настоящее время, который имеет длинную бороду, тогда человека такой рост бороды будет 165 см в завимости от роста человека. У смурфов есть своя традиционная одежда:белые брюки с обувной поддержкой и белая шапка (фригийский колпак). В другом цвете этот носит Папа Смурф, так как является «смурфстаростой» смурфдеревни

Смурфы, как правило, живут в 20 раз дольше, чем люди, и таким образом, есть отличия возраста от человека. Смурфы по комиксу достигают возраста совершеннолетия 100 лет, а в серии «Умная вечеринка Благоразумника» Смурфы достигают совершеннолетия в 150 лет. как правило, Смурф считается взрослым по психической зрелости людей в период с середины подросткового возраста и до начала двадцатых годов. В мультсериале, это связано с истечением срока Камня тысячелетия, который сохранит любому Смурфу долгую жизнь. Никаких подобных объяснений не было дано для их долговечности во всех редакциях в СМИ

Смурфы, как правило, вегетарианцы.

В серии «Чудесный Смурфер», Доктор Шарлатан заявляет, что красная кожа лечит простуду человека.

Развитие смурфов[]

Развитие Смурфа очень высокое. Есть опасные генные мутации, препятствующие развитию Смурфов в серии «Фиолетовые Смурфы», Лентяя отправили собирать еду в лесу, но его заразила фиолетовая муха, что в реальности это будет клещ и вошь. Эпидемия распространилось по всей деревни, Папа Смурф пытался вылечить Смурфов, но это было безуспешно, эпидемия закончилась уничтожением его дома и всей деревни. После этого эпидемия продолжилась, Гаргамель пришёл и он нанёс вред всем Смурфикам съев их всех. К счастью, в следующей серии в самом начале пришла машина времени и откатила всё до событий серии предшествующей «Фиолетовым Смурфам». Другие есть в серии «Смурфик-ученик», одно заклинание убило Растяпу и выявило гоблина.

Смурфы также вели себя, как Наполеон Бонапарт. В серии «Король Смурф» Благоразумник возомнил себя «прирождённым лидером», вернулся в деревню и призвал всех жителей Смурфидола построить ему дворец, Смурфетта и Растяпа были настроены против Благоразумника. Весельчак хотел совершить «террористический акт», но Благоразумник сажает его в тюрьму. Потом Гаргамель съел Весельчака и тюрьму. Смурфы хотели устроить Майдан за Весельчака, и на этот раз Гаргамель организовал новый план: террорический акт всего дворца. Гаргамель съел Папу Смурфа, Благоразумника, Смурфетту и всю деревню. КОНЕЦ СЕРИИ. В Лекарстве Весельчаке, всё откатилось до концовки «Красавчика в беде».

В самом конце 6 сезона, в серии «Притяжение сферы» Смурфы решили организовать праздник, но ему помешала злая ведьма, она подарила Поэту сферу, после чего Смурфы стали больше всего психозно торопится, и вот беда, притяжение сферы — это болезнь. Позднее, они разбили её, организовав праздник.

Социальность и культура[]

Смурфов контролируют один взрослый Смурф, которым и является Папа Смурф, возраст которого составляет 542 года (546 в фильме «Смурфы и волшебная флейта»). Он функционирует как староста деревни, направляя Смурфов в своих ежедневных задачах и выступающей в качестве посредника в спорах, используя свои навыки, мудрость, интеллект и власть с добротой. Каждому Смурфу дается имя, которое, как правило, основывается на профессиональности, или доминирующих чертах индивидуальности Смурфа. Папа Смурф является единственным Смурфом, который носит красную одежду, в то время как большинство Смурфов носит белую. Из других смурфов, например, родителей Папы Смурфа другой цвет одежды имеется у Дедушки Смурфа, что означает, что разные поколения предков Смурфов могут носить разные цвета

Сообщество Смурфов как правило, принимает форму колектизма Папы Смурфа, совместного использования и доброй среды, основанной на принципе, что каждый Смурф имеет что-то хорошее в нём и тем самым способствует его смурфколлектизму. Каждый Смурф должен работать в условиях Папы Смурфа. Смурфы не имеют никаких денег, хотя иногда они могут торговать что-то ценное для посторонних, чтобы получить то, что им нужно, например, Ковбой добывал шерсть в серии «Дикий и мохнатый».

Сообщество Смурфов в настоящее время состоит из общества чуть более ста смурфов, который включает в себя Папу Смурфа, Смурфетту, и других. Некоторые жители их деревни имеют своих домашних животных, таких как щенок (смурфидольский), который Хомнибус подарил Смурфам. Смугл — питомец Нянюшки.

Смурфы общаются на человеческом языке, который они называют «Смурф».

Смурфы вправе праздновать дни рождения и праздники. Эти дни являются выходными в Смурфидоле.

Интересные факты[]

• Количество Смурфов равно 110
• Смурфетта создана Гаргамэлом из глины,чтобы заманить Смурфов в ловушку, но потом благодаря магии Папы Смурфа стала доброй и осталась жить в деревне
