A first look at the Smurfs movie
Filed under: TV Royalty, TV on the Bigscreen, OpEd, Animation, Watercooler Talk, Children
Long have I prayed for the following kid shows of yesteryear to be made into movies: Smurfs, She-Ra, and Jem (*sings* Truly Outrageous!). And now, I only have to wait a little longer (late 2008 to be more specific) for the Smurfs to take the big screen. Cinematical is reporting that a film about Peyo’s little blue buggers is in the works. The film, produced by Paramount / Nickelodeon, will be directed by Colin Brady who has worked as an animation supervisor on films like E.T.,
Here’s what I’m not so jazzed about. The film is 3D CG-animated. What happened to regular animation? I just want my smurfs in regular 2D and only three-apples-tall (or however three-apples-tall translates onto a film screen). What do you readers think? Am I being too old-fashioned in saying that creative move will jeopardize the soul of the Smurfs? Well, perhaps that was harsh. besides, check it out for yourself. whether you’d like to see some production stills, click here.
