Take that, Gargamel: "The Smurfs" are getting a brand-new series at Nickelodeon, the children’s cable network announced Thursday.

The blue crew will populate The Smurfs, a CG-animated reboot that will introduce a new generation of kids to Papa Smurf, Smurfette, Clumsy, Hefty, Brainy and the rest of the the popular cartoon characters who live in mushroom-shaped homes in the forest.

“The Smurfs have entertained generations of kids and families globally, and we are thrilled to bring these identifiable characters, their stories and universal themes of cooperation, sharing and caring for their community to Nickelodeon,” said Layla Lewis, senior vice president, Global Acquisitions and Content Partnerships, via statement.

The Smurfs are making a comeback with a new series on Nickelodeon? What a surprise because based on how popular the Smurfs movies were I knew that the cartoon would be someday revived. My mom and I LOVED the original The Smurfs cartoon and we knew the theme song by heart and we would sing it together every time an episode would begin. I wonder now that The Smurfs cartoon is being revived Nickelodeon will use the same actors that provided the Smurfs voices in the movies?

Hi, Bestie! My question is, if they remake the Smurfs, will they be regular cartoons, or computer generated? What do you think?
