As a parent who collected little Smurf figurines when I was young, it makes me smile when my own kids develop the same interest. Better yet, the surprise and impressment that results when they find out that I know exactly what they are talking about.
It only goes to show, that we were all very interested in watching SMURFS: THE LOST VILLAGE. In this fully animated, all-new take on the Smurfs, Smurfette and her friends Brainy, Clumsy and Hefty embark on a thrilling race through the Forbidden Forest to find a mysterious lost village before the evil wizard Gargamel does. The rollercoaster journey leads to the discovery of the biggest secret in Smurf history.
Available to purchase now, it’s the perfect chance to settle in for a watch with the family. As busy as our June’s are with the end of school and so many must-do’s on our calendars – having a quiet evening at home is highly needed! The girls and I especially love movie nights this time of year, to unwind after a busy day and to take a break from the sun.
One thing I really loved about this movie was the humour, right from the start we were all giggling. Plus, the music is catchy and fun, but how could it not be with Demi Lovato and Meghan Trainor being in the film. Yet, animated films that are colourful and vibrant really catch my attention, the Forbidden Forest is simply beautiful.
As for the storyline, ‘girl power’ is strong in SMURFS: THE LOST VILLAGE. The girl smurfs {yes, plural – Smurfette isn’t the only girl Smurf!}, in this film are independent and brave, smart and very resourceful – exactly what this Mother wants my girls to see. Combine that with the message of not letting anyone define your purpose – well, that’s simply a message that wins all. Kids and adults alike could use the reaffirmation that self-identify isn’t decided on by others, and one can encompass many purposes in life and not just one {looking at you my fellow ‘Moms’, we’re more than that}.
SMURFS: THE LOST VILLAGE has an all-star voice cast includes Demi Lovato as Smurfette, Rainn Wilson as Gargamel, Joe Manganiello as Hefty Smurf, Jack McBrayer as Clumsy Smurf, Danny Pudi as Brainy Smurf, Michelle Rodriguez as SmurfStorm, Ellie Kemper as SmurfBlossom, Ariel Winter as SmurfLily, Mandy Patinkin as Papa Smurf and Julia Roberts as SmurfWillow.
- The Blu-ray and DVD editions feature a special offer for Smurfs-themed NailSnaps to help families show their true-blue Smurf love.
- Bonus materials include 10 fun and interactive featurettes, including Meghan Trainor’s “I’m A Lady” music video and “Lost Village Dance Along” where you can join in the Smurf dance party.
- Other bonus features include “Smurfify Your Nails” to create a Lost Village inspired manicure, then go inside “Baker Smurf’s Mini Kitchen” to follow along and guess what’s cooking, plus get step-by-step tutorials on how to draw your favorite Smurfs with three “how to” videos.
