Smurfs the lost village trailer

[Werewolf]

This looks awesome.

All animated. No live action. No modern world.

THIS is how they should've made them. Can't wait.

Try as I might, I just can't get into these new Smurfs...the cartoon is so ingrained in my mind...the voices, the music, that these new versions just feel all wrong.

The last two Smurfs movies were mostly awful, and I knew it by the time the first trailer came out. So much wrong with those. The great thing about the Smurfs was the mystical, magical setting of the actual world they lived in. But Hollywood used the typical "fish out of water" plot they've used a million times over to have them thrown into real life modern day NYC, USA (in the first one)...what a concept! And hilarity didn't ensue. Plus, they messed with the look of the Smurfs, and that just wasn't right.

This time around they are doing it right, keeping the original Smurfs in their own world and exploring the magic and mystery of it. There might actually be an engaging storyline in this thing, if you can stomach the constant bad pop culture reference humor (which unfortunately carries over from the other movies, it looks like).

I'm gonna give this film a chance. I wasn't a huge fan of the 80s cartoons (they were really watered-down and dumbed-down for kids), but I love the stories as told in the original comic strips...and if this movie can fall somewhere between the two without being dumbed-down too much then I'll be happy.

I've always kind of had a soft spot for the Smurfs so I'd give this a go.

I bet they find the village where there is one guy and the rest gals.
