Four years after the second smurfs movie which didn't do well domestically but gets a reboot in this version, I will admit that I miss hearing the smurfs gags like the happy song and mentioning the word smurf but it should be enjoyable for fans of the cartoons. The film also has a new cast in which Demi lovsto takes over the smurfette role. Mandy pantankin takes over from the late Johnathan winters as papa smurf. Jack mcbayer takes over the clumsy role from the late Anton yelchin who was great in the role.

Well this is the first time Smurfs movie was done in 3D animation. The previous 2 movies were all combined with humans with some well known actors and actresses played in the movie such as Neil Patrick Harris, Jayma Mays and Hank Azaria. The animation of this movie was done very beautifully and I am pretty sure the 3D effects are very good (although I did not see the movie in 3D, but I can imagine some scenes that would be very great seen in 3D). Furthermore, the movie was shot in 3D and not converted into 3D at later stage like other recent live action movies. So the effects would definitely be good.

The movie seemed to be aimed for children and family as there was no heavy story line and the movie also felt very colorful, with few nice songs here and there. The jokes/humors were not the adult type and should be easily understood. So parents should not be worried of bringing their kids to see this movie. My wife and I enjoyed the movie as it was quite light and was funny with some touching moments as well, plus some good moral message.

Because the movie was aimed for the younger children audience and putting emphasis on the cuteness of the smurfs, it should not be compared to heavier animated movies like Disney or Pixar production such as Toy Story, Moana and so on. I am confident that if you go to see this one with the objective of being entertained and had some good laughs and to see those cute smurfs, you would definitely be satisfied.

In addition to the above, it also had some other well known names providing their voices such as Julia Roberts, Michelle Rodriguez even Meghan Trainor who also sung a song titled I'm A Lady. By the way, during the end credit, there was some brief funny scene that you could enjoy. So be sure to wait in the cinema and watch this part before you leave.

So if you are a fan of Smurfs and want to see them running around, providing funny moments, plus the usual chasing of Gargamel and Azrael, then you would not be disappointed. But if you are looking for some serious animated movie, then beware that this is not that kind of movie.

How do I know? Because I went to see both movies this weekend. And, while there only eight other people (besides myself) in the theater showing the Saban reboot, I was quite literally _the only one_ in the theater showing SMURFS: TLV!

Not a very encouraging sign for an opening weekend.

That being said, I thought it was a nice change of pace compared to the first two Smurf features. Primarily, because Sony didn't over-rely on a _third_ trip to the live-action world (Neil Patrick Harris and all). Instead, I got a nice little tale of romance between Hefty and Smurfette. Plus, a brief explanation of Smurfett's origin, along with the answer to the age-old question: "Why are there no other girl Smurfs?"

The only reason I deduct two stars from a potential perfect ten? While I like the fact that they gave an end credit dedication to Peyo's widow for her colorful contribution to her husband's brain-children, I was a little disappointed that they didn't give one to Jonathan Winters and Don Messick (the first two voices of Papa Smurf).
