It looks like a cute movie. I want to see it. I remember watching the cartoon The Smurfs as a child.

Another movie that looks cute that I want to see is coming out in late November called The Muppets.

My husband and I saw the previews for this when we went to see Kung Fu Panda 2. I wouldn't go see it in the theatre, but I might Netflix it. It looked kind of cute.
