Here’s Neil Patrick Harris introducing the new teaser for “The Smurfs,” which will be in the 3D and will feature enough celebrities (Neil Patrick Harris, Katy Perry, George Lopez, Hank Azaria, Tim Gunn, etc…) that the youngsters will find themselves buying tickets even though they are barely old enough to remember liking the smurfs in the first place.
Per IMBD:
When the evil wizard Gargamel chases the tiny blue Smurfs out of their village, they tumble from their magical world and into ours — in fact, smack dab in the middle of Central Park. Just three apples high and stuck in the Big Apple, the Smurfs must find a way to get back to their village before Gargamel tracks them down.
That’s right – the Smurfs are out of their magical forest and thrown into New York City. And get this – Gargamel no longer wants to eat them. In this version, he’s trying to capture the Smurfs to use as lucky charms. The rebooted smurfs look pretty similar to the ones we knew from the 1980s television series. They’re still a pretty shade of light blue and adorably perky looking, with more realistic features like white furry beards and glossy eyes popping out in 3-D. The very brief teaser trailer for the film doesn’t actually show very much footage of the Smurfs themselves. We see a montage of world landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and the Sphinx turning blue as they get “Smurf’d” before you catch even a glimpse of a Smurf.
If my childhood classic gets screwed up enough, I just might cry.
