The main focal point of the story is Smurfette (Demi Lovato), who is the only girl in the Smurf village. It also should be said that those previous two Smurf films really connected with a broad audience, whereas Smurfs: The Lost Village caters to only a much younger audience and leaves the adults scratching for something more. On the other hand, what made those films so great was the Smurfs exploring the real world in silly, adventurous ways, along with a perfect performance by Azaria. On one hand, this all-encompassing CGI fest can focus more on the central characters and their stories, rather than the real world and its characters. Instead, it's another revamp for the series that's bittersweet to the taste buds. This is not the approach for the third film, Smurfs: The Lost Village, which doesn't really acknowledge any events or characters from the first two films. What worked so well in those two films was watching all of the Smurfs interact with the real world of Earth in a sillier Who Framed Roger Rabbit sort of way.Īdd to that the brilliance of Azaria's portrayal of Gargamel, which should have won awards, and the charisma of Neil Patrick Harris to satisfy both kids and adults into an entertaining two hours. The revamp even managed to gross more than half a billion dollars at the box office, which spawned a sequel a couple of years later that did almost as well with the same formula. With the help from Neil Patrick Harris and Hank Azaria playing the evil, but clumsy Gargamel, the Smurfs were on their way to superstardom once again. Back in 2011, The Smurfs got a major overhaul in the form of a live-action crossed with the latest in CGI that brought the masses back to love these little blue creatures. We've all grown up with the Smurfs in the form of comic strips, cartoons, and feature films.
