The new SMURFS movie is about Smurfette. You might remember her origin from the cartoon series. She was created by the evil wizard Gargamel out of clay to find the Smurf Village. She turned good and became one of the most beloved Smurfs. However, in this film, everyone has an identity and a name that matches their personality. No one is able to define Smurfette and it really bothers her. To make her feel better, her friends take her out of the village for a day of surfing. Right before she is captured by Gargamel, she comes face to face with a mysterious creature. Gargamel discovers The Lost Village and the rest of the movie is about uncovering the mysteries in the Forbidden Forest. SMURFS: THE LOST VILLAGE is now on digital and 4K Ultra HD™/Blu-ray™ + Digital, Blu-ray + Digital and DVD from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. The film is fully animated unlike the other movies. I think I like this version way better. After seeing this film, I love Smurfette even more.
