Smurfs

QuoteRaja Gosnell has been tapped to direct Sony?s live-action/animated ?Smurfs.? The film will be released in 3-D and 2-D formats on Dec. 17, 2010.

Another childhood cartoon destroyed by Hollywood.  :angry:

At least there is finally headway on it. This has been surfacing around since 2002! It could be good though. I liked Rocky and Bullwinkle for what it was.

I've always been bothered by The Smurfs.  Definitely unenthusiastic about this project.

Not a big smurfs fan either.  I just saw nothing appealing about it, even as a kid growing up when it was popular, and find the whole thing unsettling for many reasons.  I just can't see any Smurfs movie ever appealing to me.
I am the cat that walks by himself, all ways are alike to me.

 :( why are they doing that? i was raised with the schtroumpfs. my very firt comic, that my grandmother got for my 4th birthday. Now i understand from the article that you mostly know them through the cartoon, wich i didn't really like (the mood was really different than that of the comics) so i can't blame you from not being "smurf" fan.
I can't see any way that this movie won't fail. And 3d? I don't know any kid willing to stay put with headaches-giving glasses for 90 minutes.
Make it direct to video and 2D, and that would be enough.

This is one of the sillier things I've ever seen....there are about a million jokes about Hollywood that you could make...but at this point, it almost seems like a parody of itself....I mean, really, Penny arcade once posited that these vultures would pick over Teddy Ruxpin's corpse in an attempt to find something so outlandish that it would be funny, but are we really that far away from it anymore?

Yeah, In my hometown in Mexico we had a few Smurf urban legends (involving the dolls biting children, based on one episode) so I could care less what they do with the property.

As an animator, I want to be happy about this because it means more work for my kind...

but on the other hand, I can't imagine the poor, sad souls stuck working on this... I met one of the animators from Alvin and the Chipmunks 2: The Squeakuel, and he had a horrible dead look in his eyes when discussing the project...

I apologize in advance for everything I say on here. I regret it immediately after clicking post.

I just died a little inside. Just one thing: the smurf don't live in the real world. having them in new york is nothing short of an heresy.
The only good part of that video was that Neil Patrick Harris was introducing it.

Every time I enter this forum, another little part of me dies.

Haha.........yeah, I'm thinking this whole thing is a rather bad idea.

ok, this might not be so bad.
That's what I thought until two seconds later when I realized NPH isn't even in the movie.
Actually, he is. He's the human the Smurfs end up living with in the real world..

I really. Really. Really. Don't have much hope for this film...

you guys do realise it's done like enchanted, the smurfs get stuck here they don't come from our world, which is why gargamel (sp) looks like the cartoon

docdelorean88

UE has it perfectly correct. I really think this is going to be great actually, but maybe im overly optimistic.
