The Smurfs (2011)

There is a place... a place that knows no sadness... where even feeling blue is a happy thing! :)

It's a happy world! It's the Smurf world! It's like... Trolls, but with Smurfs. Which of these came first anyway?

I watched the second movie recently so it seemed like I needed to watch the first one two. This one follows not just Smurfette, but the Smurfs as a species, and of course: Gargamel! The ever-so nefarious pain in their backs, who finds their hideout and causes them to (somewhat accidentally) smurf into the real world. Clumsy soon becomes the highlight of the show.

Overall it was way more feelgood than the first one. Err... the second, I mean. It had just the right amount of poppy tunes, and the Smurfs first appearance in the real world was something else. Second time around it's just... not the same. Even if I saw the second movie first this really felt like the original: a well-thought out piece with polished comedy and plot progression... and lots of Smurfs. Great watch.
