Die Schlümpfe

Ok so if I watch one or two episodes that's fine but 3 or 4 in a row it makes me bored, and considering Nicktoons in my country (UK) sometimes airs it for an hour it shows that it makes me bored after 2 episodes, voices and storylines are fine.

Although it's a little better than the truly dreadful live action smurf movies, this tv show reboot of the wonderful 1981-89 classic based on the 50's comic strip still has none of the charm nor style of the original, although it does have some funny moments, the rest is too predicable, self righteous and truly boring, the original smurfs had more bite it will, like the other reboots, smurfs was based on classics, what it doesn't have is the same level of charm as the original, papa smurfs just bores me

I Gave the smurfs a D.

Dec 2022

So we now have a new series of updated "The Smurfs", now done in glorious CGI, and wow it looks great.

I have watched 70 of the 11or12 mins episodes, which i think is almost all, its not too clear on here just how many there are at the moment, but i really loved them.

There does seem to of been quite a lot of negativity from some of the reviewers and i really dont know why, would you really prefer they were done in the old cartoon style like before.

As far as i can remember all the main characters from the original series are still here, so i highly recommend these new ones for children and adults alike.

9 smurf hats out of 10.

This show is for kids. So why so nostalgic adults are bashing it? I can understand that you are not feeling the way you were on 1980 when you watched the first gen cartoons, but you were a kid and I remember the show was as corny as the one we got today.

Some here are trying to be a poor's man version of Leonard Maltin. How sad.

My kid loves this show and he's 3 years old. I don't expect him to still love the show in 20 years.

The 3D animation is very adequate, dialogues are made for kids to be entertain and Gargamel is as dumb as he always was. Giving 1 star for this show is pure bad faith.

As a regular viewer of the smurfs, I was happy when we got a new series. The plot is okay since I understood that the story is mostly episodic, but the voice acting in the English dub could use a bit more work, the voices were alright, but some lines were executed poorly IMO, its as if their voices were strained while they speak (Poet, Chef, Greedy, and Jokey's VA were good tho!). There were voices who didn't quite match the characters. I'm not sure if its the lack of available voice actors, but still some of them didn't match.

So yeah, I'm pretty much neutral with this series, mixed feelings with the dubs. I'm just hoping that it'll get better over time since I really love watching the smurfs and there's some potential for it to be better :D.
