Hollywood Movies The Smurfs 2011
Storyline:
When the evil wizard Gargamel chases the tiny blue Smurfs out of their village, they tumble from their magical world and into ours -- in fact, smack dab in the middle of Central Park. Just three apples high and stuck in the Big Apple, the Smurfs must find a way to get back to their village before Gargamel tracks them down.

In advance of the July 29 release of “The Smurfs,” the real wizards (sorry, Gargamel) at Sony Pictures Animation opened up their facilities to the press for one fun-filled afternoon. We were treated to a sneak peak of the film, a roundtable interview with Hank Azaria and Jayma Mays, and the opportunity to both animate and voice our very own Smurfs. Getting to see all the different aspects of the production at work at Sony Pictures Animation was something that truly blue my mind.
The day began with some opening words from the film’s director, Raja Gosnell (“Beverly Hills Chihuaha,” “Scooby-Doo”), and producer Jordan Kerner (“Charlotte’s Web,” “Inspector Gadget”). After hearing from the men behind the Smurfs, we got to see our first peek at the Smurfs in 3-D. As the story brings the Smurfs saga into the real world, the hybrid film required almost two years of production work in both live-action and computer animation. To bring the Smurfs to the big screen, the film required 20 million frames of film to be rendered.
The highlight of the afternoon was the opportunity for members of the media to actually voice a Smurf. There were two separate clips available to provide the voices for. We had the option to re-voice Anton Yelchin’s work as Clumsy Smurf or Katy Perry’s efforts as Smurfette. With all due respect to Mr. Yelchin, I would like to think that my version was a Smurfy interesting alternate take on the scene.
You can judge my performance for yourself by clicking the YouTube video on this page. You can also check out “The Smurfs” on July 29 in theaters nationwide. It’s a film that will certainly satisfy family audiences with plenty of jokes and nostalgia for a generation of fans who grew up with “The Smurfs.”
