I watched all the Smurfs cartoons and played with the collectible figures as a kid myself so it is nice that my own children can enjoy them as well through watching SMURFS: THE LOST VILLAGE. I particularly appreciated that this story went back towards the Smurfy vibe of the '80s compared to the last two live action with CGI films that had a more contemporary comedic focus. My kids really enjoyed the animation and getting a look inside the magical world of the Smurfs in this movie. Our whole family had a great time watching this movie together!
SMURFS: THE LOST VILLAGE has a run time of around 90 minutes. It is rated PG for some mild action and rude humor. For more information about the film, please visit smurfsmovie.com
