We all went to see Toy Story 3 over the weekend (it's awesome, BTW) and before the show began, we saw a preview... Click here... We got episodes of this on DVD for the kids to watch (from the 80s) and they love it, so naturally they were all excited by this... but it just looks so... wrong... We are in deep, deep trouble. The kids are dying to see it now!!!

You are correct. That is so wrong. Oh my God. I don't know if I can take that. Thankfully my daughter is almost as old now as I was when they first came out, not quite but close enough that I won't be dragged to see it. Shaking my head and wandering away with that annoying song stuck in my head. Smurf

Oh, God! All I can say is thank goodnes my youngest is in middle school now and none of them ever even got into reruns of that show. SJ, my sympathies. Maybe you and Flash can plan a vacation around the time the movie comes out, some place far away from movie theatres.

Oh nooooo... I loved Smurfs in the '80s, but they're supposed to be in forests in medieval Europe, with classical music as the soundtrack, and all that! I agree, this is cause for concern!

I'm not surprised. Look at all the other famous 80's cartoons that have been made into live action features:Transformers, Alvin & The Chipmunks, G.I. Joe, and The Smurfs aren't making it any better. What's worse is that Warner Bros. wants to make a live action Robotech movie (which I'm hoping will get canned and never see the light of day) with Tobey Maguire as executive producer, and not only that! Maguire also wants to play Rick Hunter! Kill me now. :killmenow:

Exactly! I knew you guys would understand my pain! I love the Smurfs... as they were on Saturday morning TV in the 80s. That's why I picked up those DVDs for my kids to begin with! But running around New York City, with a rap version of 'La la la la la la...' it's just WRONG!!!!!

I needs a shotgun. And a flamethrower. And a trained attack cat... Frickin' annoying three apple high little bastards all need to die, them and their little white hats and boots should all be minced and turned into dogfood... 'course, then the dogs'll be poisoned...

gatchamarie Gatchamaniac posted 22 Jun 2010 09:36

Thanks for the warning, TJ! Fortunately, even for me, my kids, although at a tender age, already do not like to see that show, which BTW is being aired at present on an Italian channel early in the morning! You don't even know how fast I switch channel when I happen to see them on screen! I used to watch some episodes when I was a kid but I always wasn't such a fan! And I don't know them by the name "Smurfs" but by the name "Puffi", which also pushes me away!

amethyst Wanted: $1000 Reward posted 22 Jun 2010 09:38

Hey, Ste, I'll get you the shotgun, just please don't feed them to my dog.

Get this. This is the movie's plot according to Wikipedia: Set in the Middle Ages, the evil wizard Gargamel (Hank Azaria) discovers the Smurf's village and chases them into some woods. The Smurfs get scattered and Clumsy Smurf (voiced by Anton Yelchin) wanders into a "forbidden" grotto and some of the other Smurfs follow. Since it's also a blue moon, a magical portal within the grotto transports them into Central Park in New York.[3] They take shelter with a married couple (Neil Patrick Harris and Jayma Mays) and try to find a way back to their village before Gargamel finds them. So Moe The Bartender is playing Gargamel, eh? That's not enough.

Askura Forum God posted 11 Aug 2010 04:42

Neil Patrick Harris is in this? What the heck have they got on him to make him do this?!?

clouddancer Gatchamaniac posted 11 Aug 2010 05:01

When you need money .... you will do anything. Not that I know about his financial situation. When he/I was younger I used to watch anything with him in it though. These days I see him around doing walk ons in various shows, so he must still be popular.

Transmute Jun Queen of the Bird Missiles posted 11 Aug 2010 07:24

I think he's popular on one of those sitcoms... I can't remember what it's called, but I see ads for it...

clouddancer Gatchamaniac posted 11 Aug 2010 07:34

You know I think you are correct. I think I saw an add when we were watching Big Bang together.

gatchamarie Gatchamaniac posted 11 Aug 2010 07:44

I loved his role in the sitcom "How I met your Mother" ... I don't know if you were referring to that one, TJ and CD!

clouddancer Gatchamaniac posted 11 Aug 2010 08:14

Is that what he is staring in at the moment? If it it that was probably it.

amethyst Wanted: $1000 Reward posted 11 Aug 2010 09:34

I think he has also taken over Tobey Maguire's role in the sequel to Cats and Dogs. Middle son wants to see that this weekend for his birthday. Am hoping that we can talk him into the water park instead. All that will cost is us gas and bottled water (nearly as expensive as the gas).

Transmute Jun Queen of the Bird Missiles posted 11 Aug 2010 11:49 (edited 11 Aug 2010 11:50)

I know! Movies are so darn expensive! It cost our family of 2 adults and 2 kids $50 to see Toy Story 3!!!! That was a matinee, with one bag of popcorn. This is why we so rarely go to the theatre. It's much cheaper to just buy the DVD 6 months later. ETA Of course, it might be worth the extra $$$ to just see the Smurf movie in the theatre, and never buy the DVD. IF I get the DVD, it will be watched over and over and over and over.... UGH!

I've been watching the sitcom I've mentioned some time ago, so I don't think it's something going on at present! Maybe it's the one, Amethyst has mentioned.
