Yeah, the movie could be a hot mess. Or it could be awesome. But before everyone freaks out:
1. This movie is being creatively controlled by Peyo's (the original creator's) family and the current Belgian owners.
2. The Smurfs folks have wanted to make a feature-length film for years and were waiting for the perfect confluence of events (creative, financial, otherwise) to come together.
Next they're going to rummage through our attics and try to make a movie adaptation of out of our old coloring books! Leave my childhood alone Hollywood! What's next, a He-Man remake? Thundercats? The Get-a-Long-Gang? Is nothing sacred?
@nyc-caribbean-ragazza: I was going to type something like "And next up: Candyland the Movie, starring Anne Hathaway as Princess Lolly and Johnny Depp as Lord Licorice! HAW HAW HAW!"
And then a quick Google search told me that there is actually a Candyland movie in production. Dog help us all.
@nyc-caribbean-ragazza: How about "Life." I'm just concerned that they may have difficulty with plot development when every character is an identical plastic peg.
This reminds me of that article that was in the Onion about a Thundercats movie being produced by Michael Bay. In it he says, "I just want to fuck it up royally. I love ruining your childhood memories with loud explosions and cgi graphics lacking plot".

Hmmm that might be a problem.
Or not. Movies don't need plots these days...just things blowing up.
