That actually sounds interesting, I've came up with a basic idea in a dream: All the Smurfs want to use the Imaginarium to "visit" the parent Smurfs, Papa Smurf warns them not to use it for too long as Mother Nature warns them of an approaching thunderstorm; with all Smurfs agreeing. What happens next is the Smurfs get too preoccupied with the setting; thus losing track of time, the thunderstorm arrives over the village and a lone lightning bolt strikes the Imaginarium, causing the crystals to overload and crash (similar to how a website crashes when it's overloaded with data).

So, in the sense, all the Smurfs are trapped in the setting and Papa Smurf has to figure out how to get the crystals up and running again while inside the setting. As all that's going on, the Smurfs begin the believe that their "parents" are really real and it hurts them when they realize they're not and Papa Smurf is their real father.
