It is based on The Smurfs comic book series created by the Belgian comic artist Peyo, and is a Reboot film, unrelated to Sony’s previous live-action/animated films. It is written by Stacey Harman and Pamela Ribon, and directed by Kelly Asbury.
The movie sees Smurfette attempting to find her purpose in the village. When she encounters a creature similar to her in the Forbidden Forest who drops a mysterious map, she sets off with her best friends Brainy, Clumsy, and Hefty to find the Lost Village before the evil wizard, Gargamel, does.
It stars Demi Lovato as Smurfette, Mandy Patinkin as Papa Smurf, Joe Manganiello as Hefty Smurf, Jack McBrayer as Clumsy Smurf, Danny Pudi as Brainy Smurf, and Rainn Wilson as Gargamel.
