They didn't even count the original 1975 movie adaptation of the Smurfs and the Magic Flute in this update. They only mentioned the three God-awful failures that were the Sony Pictures 3D ones. I'll bet that this series will be all about the Smurfette Village in the most recent film, which COMPLETELY BREAKS ALL CANON because Smurfettes are not naturally-occurring creatures. They can only be made from a magical spell, which was first revealed in the original French version of "The Smurfette" in 1964.

I hope this series dies before it debuts, honestly. I have never been more upset so far with the modern works made from this franchise. I'm only twenty-three and probably know more about the entire world in which the Smurfs live than the entire production team at Sony Studios who worked on the three most recent films. I'll bet money on that.
