What’s most bothersome about Smurfs: The Lost Village is how often it’s unwilling to own up to its creativity.

They can be Farmer Smurf (Jeff Dunham), or Jokey Smurf (Gabriel Iglesias) or Baker Smurf (Gordon Ramsay) or Grouchy Smurf (Jake Johnson), but they each fill their individual purpose. They’re a lot like the seven dwarfs in that specific regard. You see, the Smurfs are defined by single characteristics. But through the magic and kindhearted grace of Papa Smurf (Mandy Patinkin), Smurfette became a beautiful, loving Smurf just like every other blue-skinned citizen of Smurf Village.Įven though she’s welcomed by her male peers, though, Smurfette never quite fits in, and the rest of the village aren’t quite sure what her purpose should be. Created by the evil Gargamel (Rain Wilson) as a means to trick the Smurfs into boiling in his cauldron, Smurfette was created from clay as a means to inflict evil and misery. But that’s not the only reason why she’s different. Smurfs: The Lost Village, in a refreshing change of pace, is mostly centered around Smurfette (Demi Lovato), who’s the only female in the village. It would give us the Smurfs movie we should’ve gotten from the get-go, all before uncreative influences decided to smurf everything up.

Giving viewers a chance to watch Poyo’s original animated creation as it was intended (well, sorta), The Lost Village would let viewers see environments that were only hinted at, spend time with Smurfs we only got a glimpse of, be engulfed in a colorful (though mostly blue) world that was totally different from our muddled own, and more importantly, actually see Smurfs be Smurfs. That’s why I was initially eager to visit Smurfs: The Lost Village, the first fully-animated theatrical Smurfs movie that, thankfully, avoids anything involving our own world.

They were everything the resulting 80 minutes (and change) weren’t, a glimpse into what could’ve been if Sony Animation decided to cut their losses and stick with the animation. These segments were lively, engaging, inspired and, dare I say it, kinda fun. They came near the top of the films, as we watched our CG Smurfs interact in their animated environment known as Smurf Village, away from their dreaded, pointless impending visit to the Big Apple.

But amongst the drivel, there were always shining little moments of promise and potential. It bounces up and down, up and down, up and down, and eventually, something gets smashed or broken, but the kid is (seemingly) transfixed. The Smurfs and The Smurfs 2 were, for the most part, rambunctious, asinine, lazily written child distractors, the cinematic equivalent of a big, bouncing blue ball.
