User blog:A Heroic Smurf/Mandy Patinkin to voice Papa Smurf

According to most news websites, it seems that Mandy Patinkin has been chosen to voice Papa Smurf in next years Smurfs movie. I had the idea that they would choose Jack Angel since he voiced Papa Smurf in A Christmas Carol and Legend of Smurfy Hollow, but I can completely understand why they haven't chosen him since he too is coming of age.

Let me know your opinions on this.
