The time to release the dvds and still be popular is slowly drifting away, I believe.
Don't be so sure! I heard the audio commentary and the directors and producers are actually considering a sequel and they seem they really want to expand the new world of the Forbidden Forest!

Great! I hope it's like Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Pirates of the Carribean where it will be a long series of movies.

Maybe.. even the mystery as to why the two villages were seperated all those years? To the point of them not existing to each other until the events of The Lost Village.

That's something I'd like to know. I also would like to know if there are other villages. I know there are many villages of all sizes in my fanfic.

Firstly, I'm thankful for this movie, Smurfs: The Lost Village, as it got me into Smurfs. I had a smurf plush when I was little (no longer have it sadly), and haven't seen much of or paid attention to the cartoon until now. When we got Cartoon Network, if it came on, it came on and that was it. Even saw the two live action movies shortly after, which in my opinion were fun, though I consider Lost Village the best of the three movies.
That said, I really loved this movie. Just everything about it, the adventure Smurfette, Brainy, Clumsy, and Hefty went on. The introduction of the other girl smurfs. Smurfblossom being really bubbly. Also Smurfette herself, finding out what she was meant to be. Not to mention my favorite moment was the climax all the way up to the end, it both had me excited and in tears.
I really hope there's a sequel, or even some short films. Really loved this movie, honestly, I'd like to see more done with this.

Good news to all. The Smurfs are getting a new TV series again.
The Smurfs to Star in New TV Show
September 1, 2017 Joanna Padovano Tong
IMPS and Dupuis Audiovisuel have teamed up to produce a brand-new Smurfs television series following the adventures of the iconic blue characters created by Pierre “Peyo” Culliford.
The show, which is expected to have 13-minute episodes, is currently in pre-development. Véronique Culliford, the president of IMPS, said: “The Smurfs TV series produced by Hanna-Barbera in the ’80s is highly successful, still being broadcast on a global scale. But creating a new series, giving the Smurfs an updated look, was just a logical next step for the property after three Hollywood movies. We are very happy to embark on this exciting journey with the Dupuis group, one of our historical partners on Smurfs comic books and animation.”
Léon Perahia, the CEO of Dupuis Audiovisuel, added: “Our collaboration with Peyo on Smurfs goes back to the first publication of the Smurf character in the magazine Spirou and the co-produciton of the Hanna-Barbera series. We’re delighted to be able to use our experience in bringing comic-book characters to life in service of this marvelous and enchanting universe.”

Very good news indeed. Upon Googling it, I found yet another article, and this one has a picture of work in progress. I'm liking the look of this so far, even if it is a work in progress.
IMPS, Dupuis Developing New Animated Smurfs Series
Official Smurfs licensor IMPS and the studio behind adaptations of ‘Spirou,’ ‘Little Spirou,’ ‘Papyrus,’ ‘Jojo,’ ‘Cedric,’ and more join forces to produce a new Smurfs TV series giving the little blue creatures an updated look.

Official Smurfs licensor IMPS and Dupuis Audiovisuel have decided to join forces to produce a new Smurfs TV series. The series is currently in pre-development. Episodes are planned to be 13 minutes long.
“The Smurfs TV series produced by Hanna-Barbera in the eighties is a highly successful series, still being broadcast on a global scale. But creating a new series, giving the Smurfs an updated look, was just a logical next step for the property after three Hollywood movies,” said IMPS president Véronique Culliford. “We are very happy to embark on this exciting journey with the Dupuis group, one of our historic partners on Smurfs comic books an animation.”
A subsidiary of entertainment conglomerate Media-Participations known for producing screen adaptations of famous European comics like Spirou, Little Spirou, Papyrus, Jojo, Cedric, Kid Paddle, Little Furry and Marsupilami, Dupuis Audiovisuel has a catalog of titles including The Garfield Show, Tintin, Asterix, Lucky Luke, and The Red Turtle. The group has two animation studios: Ellipsanime in France and Dreamwall in Belgium.
“Our collaboration with Peyo on Smurfs goes back to the first publication of the Smurf character in the magazine ‘Spirou’ and the co-production of the Hanna-Barbera series,” adds Dupuis Audiovisuel CEO Léon Perahia. “We’re delighted to be able to us our experience in bringing comic book characters to life in service of this marvelous and enchanting universe.”

That remains to be seen. One thing I'm certain of is that it's back to being more about Peyo's vision than the incarnation made from the live action movies. Just my two cents.

My only concern is that, in addition to the original Smurf comic style, the original humor shall also be maintained (in other words: no toilet humor, please). ![[Roll Eyes]](/ubb/rolleyes.gif)

I don't think that would happen. That seems to be a thing with Sony's movies. At least the live action one had it (was watching the first one last night), Lost Village, all I remember off hand is Hefty's little chalkboard joke he did to Brainy.
I think the article didn't mention Sony.

Perhaps in my opinion, they're doing it in the homage and style from the original Hanna-Barbera series, it was the longest running show with 9 successful seasons

Yes, I remember that moment and I must confess I didn't enjoy it. But that gag involving Gargamel and the champagne bucket in the first movie was even much worse. What is usual in cartoons such as Ren & Stimpy or Billy and Mandy's Grim Adventures isn't good for both Smurf cartoons and movies. ![[Gargamel]](/ubb/graemlins/gargamel.gif) ![[Azrael]](/ubb/graemlins/azrael.gif)

Understandable, still loved Lost Village despite the chalkbord scene.
Yeah, that was definitely much worse. For me, my favorite things from the live action movies were the interactions with some of the characters. For example the scene where Smurfette hugs Vexy always gets to me. I tend to enjoy those scenes a lot more.
It's worth noting I haven't seen Smurfs 2 until after seeing Lost Village, funnily enough I bought the game for Wii U before seeing the movie, being a Smurfs thing. I think mom rented Smurfs 1 years ago, at the time I wasn't into the Smurfs. I pretty much own both movies now, also came in a pack with A Christmas Carol and Smurfy Hollow.

Yes, SmurfyDash, friendship and union scenes have always been constant in the Smurf movies like in Smurf cartoons. An example?
The scene when Smurfette gives her life to save everysmurf and becomes a blue clay form again reminded me Ducky's death (The Smurfs Springtime Special) at once. I felt moved as well at that moment...
I loved the Lost Village mostly because Peyo's work was carefully studied, getting a meticulous and great result. The several references taken from original comics came to our eyes (like a little observation game inserted in the movie) such as Farmer's scarecrow wearing King Smurf's crown and clothes. And Gargamel's pet bird Monty was inspired by the terrible Howlibird - to mention something.
I agree with you: no doubt it was worth watching it!

That scene always makes me cry Squeaky, even a bit more when she comes back. Just showed that Smurf Village and Smurfy Grove loved Smurfette as a friend. Even Smurfstorm was sad, she just was suspicious of her.
What Smurfette did to save them, and seeing her come back help make her my favorite smurf.
I caught the scarecrow after seeing a making of featurette about returning to Peyo's work. Now I think about that scene every time I watch King Smurf. I thought of Monty when I saw the Howlibird.
Of Peyo's works, I did pick up The Smurfette from my local book store. So far, it's mostly been the 80's cartoon on DVD for me.
Indeed, I find myself putting on the movie a few times a week. I loved this movie so much.
