Elixir Of Life

The Elixir Of Life is a potion that is said to give inanimate objects life when it is poured upon them. It can be mixed with paints in order to restore talking portraits, although when used to create new pictures of people and things, it captures the very things and puts them right on the canvas itself, causing them to disappear from normal space.

It appears unnamed in the Smurfs cartoon episode "Every Picture Smurfs A Story", where Painter uses the paints mixed with the elixir to create new pictures said by the artist Maestro to "capture life". However, when Painter creates a portrait of Papa Smurf with the elixir-laced paints, it captured Papa Smurf and put him right on the canvas while Maestro was released from the canvas that he was held prisoner on. To free Papa Smurf, Painter used his own paints to create a portrait of Maestro to send him back on the canvas when Maestro, seeing what Painter was up to and thinking Painter must have his magicked paints, inadvertently gave Painter the magicked paints, believing them to be Painter's own regular paints. With the magicked paints, Painter completed the portrait of Maestro, thus sending Maestro back onto the canvas and freeing Papa Smurf from the canvas he was imprisoned on.
