I Puffi: Viaggio nella foresta segreta

Once again from Sony Pictures Animation movies - the animation is fantastic with great character designs that stay faithful to Peyo's comic series of the same name and does a great job bringing them alive in 3D form, but the hard work from the animators is once again wasted, because all of previous works by the same studio suffer the same problems like the story, characters, dialogue and especially the music (being very bland and forgettable and putting very famous songs has become a tradition for Sony) and all of the weak aspects combined together makes Smurfs: The Lost Village look very beautiful, but unfortunately it feels very mediocre at best and yet at the same time i still consider it an improvement over the awful live-action/animated hybrid Smurfs movies.

Well this is the first time Smurfs movie was done in 3D animation. The previous 2 movies were all combined with humans with some well known actors and actresses played in the movie such as Neil Patrick Harris, Jayma Mays and Hank Azaria. The animation of this movie was done very beautifully and I am pretty sure the 3D effects are very good (although I did not see the movie in 3D, but I can imagine some scenes that would be very great seen in 3D). Furthermore, the movie was shot in 3D and not converted into 3D at later stage like other recent live action movies. So the effects would definitely be good.

The movie seemed to be aimed for children and family as there was no heavy story line and the movie also felt very colorful, with few nice songs here and there. The jokes/humors were not the adult type and should be easily understood. So parents should not be worried of bringing their kids to see this movie. My wife and I enjoyed the movie as it was quite light and was funny with some touching moments as well, plus some good moral message.

Because the movie was aimed for the younger children audience and putting emphasis on the cuteness of the smurfs, it should not be compared to heavier animated movies like Disney or Pixar production such as Toy Story, Moana and so on. I am confident that if you go to see this one with the objective of being entertained and had some good laughs and to see those cute smurfs, you would definitely be satisfied.

In addition to the above, it also had some other well known names providing their voices such as Julia Roberts, Michelle Rodriguez even Meghan Trainor who also sung a song titled I'm A Lady. By the way, during the end credit, there was some brief funny scene that you could enjoy. So be sure to wait in the cinema and watch this part before you leave.

So if you are a fan of Smurfs and want to see them running around, providing funny moments, plus the usual chasing of Gargamel and Azrael, then you would not be disappointed. But if you are looking for some serious animated movie, then beware that this is not that kind of movie.

The Smurfs - The Lost village is a tribute to Peyo and his artistic ability in 1958 in creating the Smurfs. Great work to the director, crew, stars and of course Sony Animation to creating a lost village like no person not even some Smurfs has ever seen before. Avatar had loads of colour. The Lost village is that and more. Great movie for everyone.

I went to see this movie over the holidays and i absolutely loved it there were plenty of new friends to make and it was super fun my only gripe is that it took so long to get to the girl Smurfs when the previews made it seem like they were gonna be in the entire movie but aside from that it was good and i definitely recommend that you go see it take the family and have a good smurfiing time

Better than the "realistics" movies, this new Smurf adventure in 3D animation is a pleasure. New history, new characters and a new world, all ingredients for a good time with or without child ! Only one thing : if the movie was a little bit longer, and don't have a "quick" end, it had 10/10
