I have always enjoyed watching the Smurfs ever since I was a little girl. Now my own girls at 8 and 5 love the Smurfs too! Smurfette feels like an outcast because in her world a Smurf is named after their characteristic and Smurfette doesn?t know what hers is. One day she finds herself following a rogue Smurf into the Forbidden Forest and thus discovering a map that leads to a hidden location of another Smurf Village. Gargamel finds out about this lost village and wants to go there to take the Smurfs and steal their power. Smurfette and her friends must go to this village to warn them! Make sure to check out all the cool bonus features after you watch the movie. That has become our tradition after watching a movie. We like seeing “behind the scenes” so to speak. Smurfs: The Lost Village is especially fun for the kids as they get to see their beloved blue friends in a new adventure and it makes a great family movie night film!
