What is happening is that in the past, you were able to freely make Smurf related videos or slideshows when the Smurfs really weren't that big or were forgotten. Ever since the Smurfs became popular again due to the films, big corporations are doing anything to keep their product under their own copyright, wether or not you live in Europe or the U.S. (Since Fabulous films is European) Theywill also use the term "Video" onanything that is uploaded into youtube, even if they're just pics. This is just my personal theory though.
