Wow, the smurfs! That is a blast from the past! They made up a huge smurfing part of my childhood and I can say that I am smurfing excited about smurfing seeing the movie.

PAPA SMURF  
Did they say why, Brainy, why they want to smurfinate my command?

BRAINY SMURF  
I was sent on a classi-smurfed mission, Papa Smurf.

PAPA SMURF  
It’s no longer classi-smurfed, is it? Did they smurf you?

BRAINY SMURF  
They smurfed me that you had gone totally insane, and that your methods were unsmurfy.

PAPA SMURF  
Are my methods unsmurfy?

BRAINY SMURF  
I don’t see any method at all, Papa Smurf.

PAPA SMURF  
I expected a smurf like you. What did you expect? Are you an assassi-smurf?

BRAINY SMURF  
I’m a smurf, sir.

PAPA SMURF  
You’re neither. You’re an errand smurf, sent by grocery smurfs to smurf a smurf.

As for bringing the Smurfs back, why not? I mean, [UNICEF’s already blown them to pieces.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=339080&highlight=Smurf)

[Lucille Bliss](http://imdb.com/name/nm0088520/), voice of Smurfette, is alive and kicking, but nearing 90.  
[/QUOTE]

Bliss was also the voice of Crusader Rabbit, the first TV cartoon character, and my personal favorite, Ms. Bitters from _Invader Zim_. “I wanted to be an astronaut too, until my rocketship exploded in space. I learned that dreams always end in horrible implosions.”

That’s the Smurfs’ original name. Peyo, a Beligum cartoonist, was thinking of the word “schtroumpf” (a word for when you can’t think of a word, such as “thingy” or “whatchamacallit”) and decided to create characters with this name.

Peyo’s original Smurf strips had a lot more charm to them than the American animated series, and if the new movie can channel that sensibility, I can totally get with that.

Why not a crossover with my other thread then “Improve a Television Show by adding Zombies”

the George Smurfero “Smurfing Dead” series  
“Night of the Smurfing Dead”  
“Dawn of the Smurf”  
“Day of the Smurf”  
“Land of the Smurf”

basically, Papa Smurf gets zombified, and goes around infecting the village, in a bizzare role reversal, Gargamel and Azreal find themselves on the run from tiny blue (and green and gray) decomposing flesh-eaters

Doubtful. Following recent animated movie trends, this picture will be starring Robin Williams, Julia Roberts, Rupert Everett, Mike Myers and, oh, I don’t know, Ice T.

I’d love to hear Billy West, Maurice LaMarche and Rob Paulsen do some Smurfs voices.

John DiMaggio too, while we’re at it.

And the above reply was, of course, directed at this post.
