In case there's a Blu-Ray coming, I wonder what the Blu-Ray / DVD cover will look like. Here are some choices, the Subway Doors poster or the Central Park Group poster.
Subway Doors
Central Park Group
See if Sony comes up with the Blu-Ray cover design that suits us.
More to come...

Hello again!
A recap on the Smurfs' Blu-Ray / DVD combo pack: in addition to cover art, the Collider interview with producer Jordan Kerner and director Raja Gosnell talked about a number of DVD / Blu-Ray features such as deleted scenes, making-of footage, interactive activities and more. And then they mentioned the sequel of course, but they also reveal a new holiday spin-off.
We'll hope to see what it looks like. So Smurf me a Smurfs-up on the Blu-Ray right before September when Back to School season begins and check for details as soon as possible. I saw Cars 2 in July when the film was released on June 24, 2011. Then Pixar already prepared the 3D Blu-Ray of Cars 2 for November 8, 2011. So when the Smurfs were released in July 2, 2011, maybe it will come home on Christmas. Enjoy a cute shot of Smurfs on a Taxi billboard for Blu-Ray disc.
Notify me in September! Thank you!
Director Raja Gosnell & Producer Jordan Kerner Talk SMURFS; Reveal They’re Already Writing the Sequel & the DVD Has a 22 Minute Original Christmas Movie
by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub
Posted:June 14th, 2011 at 6:45 pm
Earlier today, I attended a Smurfs movie presentation at Sony Studios in Culver City, California. While there I got to watch a number of clips (some were in 3D) and I watched an interesting and informative behind the scenes presentation by Sony Pictures Imageworks visual effects producer Lydia Bottegoni, visual effects supervisor Rich Hoover, director Raja Gosnell and producer Jordan Kerner. They explained the challenges of bringing Smurfs to the big screen and the technical hurdles they had to overcome. While I love learning about new movie technology, I know most of you just want to know about the footage. My quick answer is kids are going to love the movie and I thought the 3D looked great.
Shortly after the presentation ended, we went to a small conference room and we were able to conduct a small roundtable interview with director Raja Gosnell & producer Jordan Kerner. They talked about the challenges of doing a CG/live-action hybrid movie, how did they decide which Smurfs would come into our world, why NYC, how did Smurfs creator Peyo influence the movie, and why is Gutsy Smurf Scottish. In addition, they revealed they’re already writing the script for the sequel and the DVD/Blu-ray will be released this Christmas with an original 22 minute Smurfs movie with a Christmas theme. Hit the jump to watch the video.
Here’s what Kerner said about the 22-minute original movie being released on the DVD/Blu-ray:
“There’s a 22-minute original movie that we’re making right now with Image Works. It is all animated, that will come out—oh my goodness, the DVD comes out at Christmas! Imagine that. It is a Christmas-themed 22-23-minute piece that is just spectacular. One of the great conceits of it is that we enter—it’s a little bit of A Christmas Carol—we enter into the present world with the Smurfs that everyone will have known from our movie, the 3D photo-real Smurfs in a photo-real Smurfs village, the village that you all saw when you saw the film today. And then, when we go back, I don’t wanna give away too much, into Grouchy’s dream we’re now in the 2D world of the Smurfs, much more traditional in terms of what you would have originally seen in a Smurfs cartoon in that way, is a distant memory in that way, and then we go back into live-action again.”
Smurfs gets released July 29. Here’s the order of questions. Gosnell is on the right.
[*]How do you creatively get ready to make a kids movie
[*]Why CGI/live-action? What are the challenges of hybrid films
[*]Why does Gutsy Smurf have a Scottish thing going on
[*]They reveal they’re already writing the sequel
[*]They talk about contemporizing the story and setting it in NYC
[*]How did Peyo’s original series influence the movie
[*]How did technology play into the formation of the movie. They talk about how Gollum and Avatar influenced the film
[*]Kerner is asked how does he have the time to produce movies and also be the Dean of a school
[*]Who picked the music and how does it play into the movie
[*]What extras will be on the DVD/Blu-ray. They reveal they’ve made a 22 minute new all animated movie with a Christmas theme. Comes out this Christmas
[*]They say the sequel stays in our world

This is the cover art for The Smurfs in 3D (Blu-Ray) from the UK. Perhaps the North American version will also look the same?

I hope the 3D version will include the new Smurfs Christmas Carroll short, but I've only seen it advertised with the Blu-Ray version. ![[Frown]](frown.gif)

Really? I hope it'll be on DVD too...I am so not updating my collection again with another new media format such as Blue-Ray.
It was hard enough changing over from VHS to DVD back in the day (avid movie collector here, so it meant a lot of selling and replacing of titles). Costly and time consuming venture.

Most Blu-Ray DVD's these days have a combo pack that includes a regular DVD, too. That way would cost more than the regular DVD, but you could get the Smurf Christmas Carroll that way and still have a regular DVD.

By the way, Smurfy1For2, if you have a PS3 (Plastation 3), you can use it to play Blu-Rays! But don't take my advice, because I'm Stupid.

Smurfy1For2 - what are some of your fav movies?
The blue-ray / DVD combo sounds like a good option, if unavailable separately on DVD

Further Details:
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has announced 1-disc DVD ($30.99), a 3D Blu-ray/DVD Combo ($45.99), and 3-disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo ($40.99) releases of The Smurfs for December 2nd.

I found a photo from "The Smurfs' Christmas Carol". It's a bit blurry though, but maybe you could contact Sony Pictures Animation or the studio for better High Quality photos in HD now, wouldn't it?
