Created by the Belgian comics artist known as Peyo, the Smurfs have been the subject of several feature films over the years, most recently at Sony with 2011's "The Smurfs."
Despite negative reviews, the Neil Patrick Harris-led film became a commercial smash and spawned 2013's sequel "The Smurfs 2" as well as 2017's "Smurfs: The Lost Village." The franchise moved to Paramount and Nickelodeon in 2022.
