User Reviews

Classic characters from the Belgian Peyo. Some say the Smurfs are socialists and Gargamel is a derogatory Jewish caricature. Forget them.

The Grassy Noll

Fun vibrant 80s animated series, totally Smurftastic

I watched this a lot on TV and never really enjoyed it. So I guess this is better than staining at the wall! Props

I’m pretty young but I still loved this as a kid, this show is childhood.

Smurfing love this show. Want to watch this with my kids

Good as a kid, cringey and annoying as an adult

An absolute classic! Really funny characters and still watchable

A classic cartoon that I don't care much for. I don't like the new versions either. If you're gonna watch one or the other, this is better.

It’s a classic, but not necessarily a must-watch. I’ve seen most of the show, but mostly because nothing else was on.

The only way you should watch The Smurfs. Avoid the movies at all cost.
