Trivia:

Faithful adaptation of Peyo's 9th comic album (graphic novel) starring Johan & Pirlouit: "La Flûte à 6 schtroumpfs", featuring some background 'cameos' from characters used in two other albums. The traveling performers at the start of the movie are from book 12: "Le Pays Maudit", while the dog howling in the rain and the two people coming out of the jewelers shop appeared in book 13: "Le Sortilège de Maltrochu".

Quotes:

[first lines]
Narrator: Once upon a time... wait a minute! This isn't just another once upon a time story. This story doesn't follow the book at all. It all began in a kingdom a long time ago in the middle ages. By decree of the good king, the kingdom was having a great celebration.

Great Smurfs movie!

I thought that the characters were really funny and all had great personalities. The animation in My opinion was crisp, clean, and really clear. Not to mention beautiful! Most of the characters in this show are hilarious like the Looney Tunes characters that we all love. in My opinion these characters are the funnies and talented ever seen. In fact, The things that goes on in this series' cartoons are in My opinion nuts which that is what makes them hilarious! There are so many to like and laugh at and the silly things they do! If you like the original Looney Tunes and animated films then I strongly recommend that you watch this movie today!
