The Smurfs 2011

Sophie and her brother Sam stumble upon a fascinating secret: the doll their father brought back from Belgium is, in fact, a living, breathing smurf—none other than Clumsy Smurf! Eager to have Clumsy accepted as part of their family, Sophie takes on the challenge of convincing her parents to welcome him. However, as the story unfolds, it becomes evident that Clumsy’s true desire is to reunite with his fellow smurfs.

As the excitement of the Blue Moon Festival approaches, a worried Papa Smurf sees a troubling vision in his cauldron: Clumsy reaching for a dragon wand while his fellow smurfs are trapped in cages, and Gargamel cackles triumphantly. Determined to avert this dire fate, Papa Smurf forbids Clumsy from picking Smurf Roots. But young Clumsy ignores Papa Smurf’s warning, ultimately leading Gargamel and his cunning sidekick Azrael straight to their precious village.

In a frenzy of chaos, the Smurfs scatter for safety, while Clumsy inadvertently wanders towards the Forbidden Falls, prompting Papa Smurf, Smurfette, Grouchy, Brainy, and Gutsy to race after him. As they reach the cliff’s edge, a sudden magical vortex engulfs them, transporting them to the bustling streets of present-day New York City.

Things take a wrong turn as Gargamel and Azrael are hot on their trail, eventually landing in the apartment of an expectant couple, Patrick and Grace Winslow, along with their affectionate Basset Hound, Elway. After an explanation of their origins, the Winslows quickly become friends with the little blue beings and kindly offer them shelter in their home.

The following day, the Smurfs seek out a “star gazer” to help them return home, lingering at Anjelou Cosmetics where Patrick works. Meanwhile, Gargamel concocts a plan of his own. By extracting “Smurf essence” from a lock of Smurfette’s hair, he charms Patrick’s boss, Odile, in a bid to regain his faded magical abilities by turning her mother young. As the tension builds, Gargamel gets closer to discovering Patrick’s relationship with the Smurfs, leading to a thrilling chase through a toy store and a nail-biting escape from both children eager to snatch them up and Gargamel himself.

With Gargamel captured and jailed temporarily, the Smurfs revel in the brief respite while Papa Smurf calculates the right moment to return home. However, a mishap with Clumsy leads Patrick into an emotional crisis, jeopardizing their plans. Left with no choice but to search for answers without Patrick, the Smurfs eventually discover the book LHistoire de Schtroumpfs authored by the researcher Peyo, which contains the vital spell needed to turn the moon blue.

Outside the store, Gargamel lurks and ultimately finds the powerful dragon wand from Papa Smurf’s vision, catching the Smurfs off guard. As the stakes rise, Clumsy, along with a remorseful Patrick, unite the Smurfs for an epic rescue mission. In a climactic battle at Belvedere Castle, brainy antics abound as Smurfette faces off against Azrael and courageously frees Papa Smurf. Just when it seems all hope is lost as Gargamel plots to eliminate Papa Smurf, Patrick’s brave intervention ensures their safety, with Gutsy seizing the moment to disarm Gargamel.

In an unexpected twist of fate, Clumsy manages to heroically capture the dragon wand, sending Gargamel tumbling into a trash can, followed by a comedic hit from a bus adorned with the advertisement “Blue Moon.” Finally breaking the dragon wand, the Smurfs prepare to bid farewell as Patrick receives joyful news about keeping his job. The story culminates beautifully with the Winslows welcoming a baby boy named Blue in honor of their cherished smurf friends. Meanwhile, the Smurfs set out to rebuild their village, drawing inspiration from New York, and Gargamel along with Azrael remains humorously ensnared in the city.
