The Smurfs return to theaters this summer in an all-new animated musical film under Paramount Pictures. The film boasts a star-studded cast, including Grammy winner Rihanna in her first film role since 2019, who stars as Smurfette. The Smurfs Movie promises a mix of music, comedy, and interdimensional travel as the blue creatures embark on a journey to discover what a Smurf truly is.
It's time to hit the music because The Smurfs are back. Over eight years since the little blue creatures last graced the big screen in Smurfs : The Lost Village, they're finally marching back to theaters with a new film this summer under Paramount's banner after three adventures with Sony. Announced in 2022 and titled The Smurfs Movie, it's an entirely animated, star-studded musical affair with Grammy winner Rihanna—in her first film role since 2019—playing the iconic Smurfette.
Paramount's first crack at the franchise, created by Belgian comic artist Peyo, aka Pierre Culliford, will be a reboot and marks the beginning of a new series of films made in collaboration with Nickelodeon Movies, LAFIG Belgium, and Peyo Company.
The Smurfs Movie hails from Chris Miller, who's best known for his work both in the recording booth and at the helm of DreamWorks projects, including Shrek the Third and Puss in Boots. Bringing the comedy, meanwhile, is Pam Brady, who employed her writing experience from another beloved, but far raunchier musical, South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, to pen the screenplay.
'The Smurfs Movie' Has Been a Long Time Coming for Paramount The road back to the big screen has been winding for the Smurfs, as their latest installment was twice delayed from its original December 20, 2024, release date. Paramount hopes it can make bank on the long-awaited return though.
