Paramount Pictures has recently unveiled an exciting teaser trailer for its upcoming animated film, Smurfs, featuring an impressive lineup of Hollywood stars that promises to deliver a delightful cinematic experience!
Are you in the mood for some cheer? Paramount Pictures has something special to lift your spirits! This July, the studio renowned for its work on the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise is bringing back another beloved classic with the animated adventure Smurfs. This film is inspired by the iconic characters created by Belgian comic artist Peyo. While Paramount initially teased a snippet of the trailer, it’s time to dive into the full trailer for this animated/live-action hybrid adaptation of the beloved Smurfs.
Rihanna makes a charming introduction as the new voice of Smurfette and adds to the film?s allure with her cover of ?Heaven is a Place on Earth,? originally performed by Belinda Carlisle. Smurfs artfully blends the nostalgic charm of classic Saturday morning cartoons with cutting-edge 3D animation techniques. The plot unfolds in a devastated Smurf village where a mysterious force has kidnapped Papa Smurf. This sets the stage for an adventurous quest as a motley crew of Smurfs embarks on a mission to rescue him, incorporating elements of live-action into their whimsical journey.
The film, Smurfs, is directed by the talented Chris Miller, known for his work on Puss in Boots and Shrek the Third, featuring a screenplay penned by Pam Brady, who previously contributed to Hot Rod and Team America: World Police. The voice cast is exceptionally robust, including Rihanna as Smurfette alongside well-known actors such as Nick Offerman, JP Karliak, Daniel Levy, Amy Sedaris, Natasha Lyonne, Sandra Oh, Octavia Spencer, Nick Kroll, Hannah Waddingham, Alex Winter, Billie Lourd, Xolo Maridue?a, and James Corden, with the formidable talents of Kurt Russell and John Goodman also making appearances. The film is being produced by a dynamic team including Jay Brown, Ty Ty Smith, Robyn Rihanna Fenty, and Ryan Harris.
Previous installments in the Smurfs franchise include the beloved 2011 film The Smurfs, its sequel The Smurfs 2, and the animated adventure Smurfs: The Lost Village. These charming blue humanoid characters inhabit a mushroom village deep within an enchanting forest. Guided by the wise Papa Smurf, the Smurfs engage in various adventures, expanding their village while cleverly outsmarting the grumpy dark wizard, Gargamel, and his cunning cat, Azrael. Smurfs originated from the creative vision of Peyo, captivating audiences first through Belgian comics and later as a beloved animated series in the 1980s.
