neutral · AI labelView post →Sounds like a thing Diaz to mindlessly hate on others for having something that gives them joy and entertainment for decades like The Smurfs. Especially since France and Belgium are where the series is at it's most important, especially Belgium since Peyo was born there
neutral · AI labelView post →No matter what people think about it nowadays, nothing will ever make me stop loving The Smurfs as a franchise. Much like Sonic, Spongebob and Simpsons, it has basically become a important series to my life and while there's some lows, the highs definitely outweigh it.
positive · AI labelView post →Time to do a Smurfs movie rewatch before the 2025 film drops on Friday and surprisingly, I never really saw Magic Flute fully because the Smurfs themselves don't show up until the 35 minute mark and I didn't had the patience back then

neutral · AI labelView post →the only “on-ice” show I ever saw was Snorks on Ice. They were like an underwater rip-off of the Smurfs. I didn’t watch the cartoon, didn’t buy any toys, but I really really wanted to see Snorks on Ice. My mom took me. That was the last time I ever expressed a desire to see an “on-ice” show

When they asked me why I was so anti-Smurf, I finally told them about how my babysitter told me that if you watched more than one episode, the Smurfs would come out of your TV and eat you.
negative · AI labelView post →Just finished watching one of the Johan and Peewit episodes of The Smurfs a few minutes ago. Always enjoyed those tales. Great sword-and-sorcery fantasy from Peyo. Those stories are where the Smurfs came from. Always felt they deserved a show of their own. They're getting one in 2027, and... eh.

neutral · AI labelView post →… Yes, writing sociological drama is hard, and so is writing a sweeping historical epic. But they didn't even try. They even go as far as finding tricks to make characters reusable for centuries. The Smurfs is a better adaptation of Marx's ‘Das Kapital’ than this series is of Asimov.

neutral · AI labelView post →The Smurfs is a comic series that I really don’t think about too often, but occasionally I’ll find something like this book. It doesn’t have the big stories like King Smurf, the Smurfette, The Astrosmurf or The Purple Smurfs, but there are some memorable stories from about 1975 to the 1980s.

neutral · AI labelView post →Just because of bad movie adaptations like 2025 one with exception of Magic Flute and even Lost Village, you associate The Smurfs with bad movies. They actually have good/decent content like comics, 1961 series, 1981 series and even 2021 series. It's has become more annoying. #TheSmurfs #Smurfs

neutral · AI labelView post →I was glad to learn that The Smurfs originated as a comic strip before becoming a book series, if only so that my list didn't have to start with two terrible Popeye slasher movies. I thought about leaving them off, but I already had Netflix's Jason Momoa Public Domain Slumberland on there.

Why are they saying the Sonic series has lost all dignity?? It’s attached to Sonic Rumble of all things. It’s super easy to just ignore this and move on.

neutral · AI labelView post →Latest selkie selfie and doodle. Remember Snorks? That show was dumb as Hell but I loved it. It wasn't 𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘭𝘺 the same as The Smurfs. It was underwater and had a contemporary setting. Stay hydrated, wear sunscreen, steal silverware from chain restaurants, eat ass often. I love you all. 🖤🩵🖤🩵🖤🦭
neutral · AI labelView post →Kelly had to get permission from the estate of Peyo, creator of the Smurfs, to show a Smurf doll. They also told Kelly the film could talk about Smurf sex, because they considered what had been written in the script to be an accurate description. 29/36
neutral · AI labelView post →The fact this show was animated by the same company who worked on Sonic Boom and shared some of the same writers for The Smurfs (2021) astounds me. Also, I really hate the designs for the Chipmunks. THEY'RE NOT EVEN CHIPMUNKS!

The 2011 Tintin movie by Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson and Asterix & Obelix: The Big Fight would had a great chance to make them popular and more well known in America and show them that there's other European comics besides The Smurfs.

negative · AI labelView post →Maybe because for whatever reason I got hooked as a kid on Johnny Carson, SNL, but most importantly SCTV. So when I woke up Saturday morning and scrambled eggs or poured cereal my first show was on with the TV itself. THE SMURFS. My prime Saturday morning obsession for like four full years.

neutral · AI labelView post →The previous Smurfs movie "The Lost Village" was far from perfect (some of the jokes didn't land) it was still pretty good, and was a faithful adaptation of the series, and shock of all shocks; it takes place completely in the Smurfs universe! No universe/dimension hopping to be seen!

It just makes me hate the 2025 movie even more
