Reviews
"While the old animated magic something is lost, but the same, the makers with wit and elegance. Schlumpfig. "
" The obvious strengths of the film lie on the technical side. The 3D process is relatively unobtrusive, yet effectively used, while the interaction of the actors has reached with the animated smurfs a astonishing degree of perfection. [ ... ] In the animated series, the individual Smurf adventures are told in ten to 20 minutes, even in the movie the plot now has little more substance than one of these episodes. "
" With many gags enriched 3D adaptation of the cult figures, which converts the clash of archaic Smurf world and present quite charming, but it puts a decidedly backward -oriented family picture of the day. "
"The film [ is ] actually crafted and attractively designed by the entertainment level of [ ... ], but it lacks that certain something. The special X - factor of the films such as Wall-E ',' Up 'or' Train Your Dragon has made easy ' made animation masterpieces and creative surprise success, wants to here simply do not adjust. [ ... ] If you do not überanalysiert the whole thing and just want to have fun, so you can spend a quite smurfy time even when going to the movies. But at Disney or Pixar animated gems of the film by far does not come close. "
