Sir Johan tries in vain to recover the musical instrument, but a thief named McCreep beats him to it, intending to use the flute to steal gold from the King’s subjects. It’s the Smurfs to the rescue when Papa Smurf devises a plan to create a second magical flute, and Peewit and Sir Johan go on a great adventure to find McCreep, win the musical duel and save the kingdom!

About the Smurfs 
The story of the Smurfs – a property created by Peyo – started in 1958 with the creation of comic books which were later brought to the big screen and on television. Over the years, the little blue characters haven’t just limited themselves to the page and the screen. The Smurfs have inspired records and CDs that have sold millions of copies, entire collections of figurines and toys, and many more products. In all, more than 3,000 derived products have been produced and leading brands and companies have spread their messages worldwide with the help of the Smurfs. A multitude of new projects appear regularly, thus making the success of the Smurfs planetary! 


My Take on the DVD 
This was a great DVD that brought back my memories of sitting and watching this great cartoon on Saturday mornings when I was a child. The DVD was a great movie and my kids loved watching it with me as well. Ever since they saw the Smurfs movie, they have been hooked on the cartoon, so having this new movie to share with them just solidified their love of the little blue characters. Outside of the movie itself though the bonus features on this DVD were so much fun and you will leave watching them so much more "in the know" about Smurf lingo (my favorite) as well as character guide (a close #2) that will leave you knowing a bit about every smurf! Overall, this is a DVD that any Smurf fan will simply love!
