Smurfs movie to be 'animated Lord of the Rings' - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 11-29-2006, 06:01 PM

Jordan Kerner, producer of the upcoming Charlotte's Web, told web site Moviehole about The Smurfs Movie he is producing. "It's a 3D/CG [computer-generated] Smurfs," he told them.

Kerner also stated there will be an entire trilogy of Smurfs movies. He said the films will be "the animated Lord of the Rings -- through the world of these idiots. Because they're sweet characters but they're goofs. It's a comic version, but still very heartfelt, version of Lord of the Rings -- though not literally Lord of the Rings, but an epic story like that."

The films will also explore the origin of the Smurf's chief antagonist, Gargamel. "We'll learn [more] about Gargamel and Smurf Soup and how all that began and what really goes on in that castle. What his back story really was. There's an all-powerful wizard... There's all sorts of things that get revealed as we go along," Kerner told the site.

No word on an anticipated release date for the project.

Considering the fact that the Smurfs were a cartoon from the 80's, I wonder whether it'll be more children, or adults who go see this movie?? Many parents have to suffer through silly movies for their kids, but I have a feeling that parents from the age range of 20, to about 35, will be quite eager to see this one. I know I am.

Btw, I still watch the Smurf's Christmas special every year.

Some things you just never grow out of!!
