Mandy Patinkin sounds like the name of a Disney teen idol

Looks great. This is what they should have originally made. Would have grossed 800+ worldwide and a sustainable franchise. Fools.

[Morieris]

They won me over with 'shade throwers', not even gonna lie.

[WrathOfHan]

This looks annoying.

[portgas]

Something about it feels and looks like a direct-to-dvd movie. Pass.

[MovieGuyKyle17]

While I did have a few chuckles (Papa Smurf pulling the sheets and seeing the Apples) but I can't help but feel this should be Direct-To-DVD. 

[MrFanaticGuy34]

I don't Direct to DVD-movies does very much to earn a buttload of money for the studios, particularly Sony.

 

Plus, they mostly don't have that much relevance anymore. That's why I usually prefer if they get released in theaters rather than Direct to DVD.

 

Cause, seriously? What's the point of putting few films to Direct to DVD? They usually make a fraction for a studio than what movies released in cinemas do.

[Kraken]

I'm smurfing ready for this

[babz06]

This will probably do angry birds numbers.

[YM!]

Well smurf me up the smurf, it seems like a direct to DVD movie but it looks decent, guessing it will sneak by $100M. $30M/$105M

Direct to DVD/home entertainment releases aren't huge budget fares and usually a studio only has a certain number of releases a year plus by releasing it by home entertainment, they're not paying as much for P&A plus they'll keep more of the revenue. 

[NoobSaibot]

I've never liked The Smurfs. Not even as a kid.

Pass.

I can see this too.

[The Futurist]

I have a pretty good idea why Smurfette chose to escape the village.

Spoiler

Guessing the jungle smurfs are a whole tribe of female smurfs since the film focuses on how Smurfette is the only female.

 

[Blankments]

Wow the teaser was fun, but the new trailer makes this look ROUGH. Probably shouldn't be surprised by that...
