SMURFS movie coming

It was sadly inevitable that Hollywood was going to get around to making a big budget, 3D CGI/live action movie based on The Smurfs. Eventually, every single cartoon ever made in the '80s will become a big budget, 3D CGI/live action movie. Turbo Teen. Rubik the Amazing Cube. On and on, they won't stop until there are no '80s cartoons left. And then they'll do movies based on characters from breakfast cereals. Jack Black as Captain Crunch. Mike Meyers as Lucky the Leprechaun. That day is coming, friends.

At least as we wait for the Smurfs movie to inflict itself upon the world, we can take some solace in this anti-war public service announcement in which the Smurf village is destroyed by bombs and the Smurfs all die horribly. Perhaps that sounds unreasonably cruel... But come on, these are the Smurfs we're talking about.
