The Smurfs Appreciation Thread



The Smurfs is a comic and television franchise centered on a fictional group of small blue creatures called Smurfs, created by and first introduced as a series of illustrated comic strips by the Belgian cartoonist Pierre Culliford (also known as Peyo) on October 23, 1958. Culliford's initial comic first appeared in the Belgian magazine Spirou, and several decades later was adapted into an English language children's television series by Hanna-Barbera Productions, entitled The Smurfs.

I'm looking into the DVDs. I hate that they are sold in volumes instead of full seasons.

I sure remember the Smurfs. Watched it a lot. It's available On Demand. I watch it every now and then. Brings back memories.

They are making a Smurfs movie with Neil Patrick Harris!

Melis

I haven't watched since I was a kid. lol

I recently found a Smurfs folder that I had as a child. It was surprisingly in good condition. Hehe.

That should be interesting. I think NPH was joking about it.

I never knew they were a Belgian thing.

Melis

Me either until I started reading more about them.

Barrybgb

That's news to me too.

Melis

I think I still have my stuffed Smurf. When I was at Target, I found got some Smurfs magnets. Hee.

Barrybgb

Cool. I think I had a Papa Smurf that I got in a Happy Meal once. Lol.

Melis

Oh cute! It seems Smurfs are making a comeback. I see stuff in the stores.

Barrybgb

I haven't really noticed. I'll have to check when I am in some stores.

Melis

I've mainly seen little things like the magnets. I saw a bag once.

I'll have more to say after I get my DVDs.

I'm forgetting a whole bunch of the main characters, but I think you just reminded me that Papa was my favorite, lol. What's up with there only being one girl?

Barrybgb

Smurfette!!. Lol. I never really thought about that. Kinda makes you wonder. Her dating card must of been busy.

Melis

Hehe, I loved Smurfette.
