NEWS: The Smurfs Trailer



From Sony Pictures Animation!

Yes, it appears that childhood toy favourites and unlikely pop stars, The Smurfs are making their way to the big screen this Summer.

The movie - simply entitled The Smurfs - features a mix of live-action and CG animation (I'm sure you can figure out which characters are portrayed using which medium.) Starring Neil Patrick Harris, Hank Azaria, Alan Cumming and... er Katy Perry, The Smurfs sees everybody's favourite blue Belgians transported from Smurfland to our world, with the evil Gargamel in hot pursuit.

Whilst the Smurf effects look pretty cool, I'm a little disappointed to see that they didn't opt to make them the same scale as the 70s and 80s toys (which apparently are still being produced to this day...) No doubt the tie-in toys will be produced at this larger - more profitable - size.

Anyway, The Smurfs is due for release on July 29th. Until then, you can check out the trailers here.
