Smurfs: The Lost Village is a 2017 American computer-animated fantasy adventure comedy film based on The Smurfs comic series by Peyo, produced by Columbia Pictures, Sony Pictures Animation and The Kerner Entertainment Company, and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing. A reboot of Sony's previous live-action/animated hybrid films and the third installment in Sony's Smurfs film series, the film was directed by Kelly Asbury from a screenplay by Stacey Harman and Pamela Ribon, and stars the voices of Demi Lovato, Rainn Wilson, Joe Manganiello, Mandy Patinkin, Jack McBrayer, Danny Pudi, Michelle Rodriguez, Ellie Kemper, Jake Johnson, Ariel Winter, Meghan Trainor, and Julia Roberts. In the film, a mysterious map prompts Smurfette, Brainy, Clumsy, and Hefty to find a lost village before Gargamel does. The film introduced the female Smurfs, who appeared in the franchise the following year.

Smurfs: The Lost Village premiered on April 2, 2017 and was released in the United States on April 7, 2017 to mixed reviews from critics (although some considered it an improvement over the previous two films), and grossed over $197 million worldwide against a $60 million budget. The film was dedicated to Jonathan Winters, the voice of Papa Smurf in the original film series who died in 2013, Anton Yelchin, the voice of Clumsy Smurf, and Nine Culliford, wife of Peyo, who both died in 2016.

Storyline[]

In Smurf Village, the Smurfs live peacefully among themselves, each other, and their leader Papa Smurf. Some of the Smurfs include Clumsy Smurf, Brainy Smurf, Hefty Smurf and Smurfette, who was created by the evil wizard Gargamel from a lump of clay, but was redeemed by Papa Smurf and became part of the village, and yet, she feels that she does not fit in as she tries to find her purpose in life, which the other Smurfs have. Meanwhile, Gargamel makes it his mission to capture the Smurfs, steal all of their essence, and become the most powerful wizard in the world.

During a smurfboarding trip one day, Smurfette discovers a possible Smurf creature, only to get captured by Gargamel and taken to his castle. There, she accidentally reveals a hat the creature dropped, enabling Gargamel to create a brew that causes him to locate the village on a map. Soon enough Hefty, Brainy, and Clumsy help Smurfette escape and they return to Smurf Village, where Papa Smurf confines them to their houses as punishment for almost disobeying his orders, dismissing their claims of the existence of another Smurfs village. However, Smurfette sneaks out to look for the lost village with Brainy, Clumsy, and Hefty joining her, but Gargamel soon discovers them trying to find the village and heads out with his pet cat Azrael and his pet vulture Monty to stop them.

The four follow the map and end up in various adventures and encountering bizarre creatures, including a colony of fire-breathing dragonflies (who are provoked into attacking the Smurfs by Gargamel) and a cavern maze, from which they eventually escape with the help a stampede of glowing green rabbits. Eventually, the four Smurfs reach to a river where they sail on a handmade raft to get to the lost village, only to encounter Gargamel, Azrael, and Monty again. Following a brief chase, Gargamel is thrown out of his own raft, leading the Smurfs to save him. However instead of thanking them, he pushes them out of their own raft, leaving them to plunge down a waterfall.

The four are soon captured by the leaf-covered creatures who reveal themselves to be female Smurfs. They are taken to Smurfy Grove where they meet Smurf Storm, Smurf Blossom, Smurf Lily (the Smurf from earlier), Smurf Melody, and their leader Smurf Willow, who all welcome the Smurfs to their home. Smurf Storm and Clumsy head away from the village to locate Gargamel and alert the others. During the trip, Clumsy reveals that Smurfette was created by Gargamel, which causes Smurf Storm to distrust Smurfette. Gargamel, who was led into a piranha-infested swamp, and Azrael spot Clumsy and Smurf Storm, and has Monty attack them, but they fly away to return to the village.

Following a village tour, Smurfette begins to grow accustomed to life in Smurfy Grove, much to the dismay of Hefty and Brainy. Smurf Storm and Clumsy come back revealing that Smurfette was created by Gargamel. The female Smurfs prepare an attack that night but instead of Gargamel, Papa Smurf having discovered the quartet's absence, arrives to bring them home and the female Smurfs accept him into their home. Unfortunately, Gargamel, Azrael, and Monty suddenly invade and destroy Smurfy Grove, capturing every Smurf. However, Smurfette is spared because Gargamel has noted that she is not a real Smurf, and thus, is of no more use to him, and they leave. Feeling heartbroken for her actions, Smurfette is shown a picture of herself with her friends, and after realizing what not being a real Smurf truly means, she heads back to Gargamel's lair to save her fellow Smurfs.

At Gargamel's lair, Brainy makes a plan to escape, which Papa Smurf and Smurf Willow accept. Hefty, Brainy, Clumsy, and some of the female Smurfs succeed at the plan until Gargamel and Azrael spot them and put Clumsy and some other female Smurfs into his Smurfilator, a machine capable of extracting their essence. But before the plan succeeds, Smurfette arrives and deceives Gargamel into believing she wants to be an evil Smurf again. Satisfied at her false proclamation, Gargamel willingly tries to turn Smurfette evil again, only to realize that Smurfette is actually absorbing his magical powers instead, to the point where the lair explodes, sending him, Azrael, and Monty flying back into the piranha lake. The Smurfs are freed but despite their victory, Smurfette has been reverted to a lifeless lump of clay.

Back at Smurf Village, the Smurfs make a memorial for Smurfette, and silently mourn her loss, with Papa Smurf referring to her as the truest Smurf of them all. Luckily, their energy and love for Smurfette brings her back to life and everybody happily celebrates. In the end, Smurfette finds her purpose, to be anything she wants to be.

During the credits, Gargamel, Azrael, and Monty walk back to their lair and Gargamel wrongfully blames Azrael for ruining his plans instead of his own idiocy, and thus, reveals Azrael's adoption, while trying to stop the music and the rolling credits.
