Info on the storyline for the upcoming Smurfs movie (GAH!) from Sony Pictures Animation has come out in the form of details about a couple of the parts being cast. This movie will be a hybrid of live action and animation, and will center on a couple of kids who find a Smurf attempt to get him back to his friends. EW.com has the story:
…the doll her dad brought home from Belgium is actually a living, breathing Smurf. And not just any Smurf — Clumsy Smurf! Sophie tries to get her mom and dad to embrace Clumsy as a member of the family, but ultimately realizes what he really wants is to reunite with his fellow Smurfs.
Great, this should hold me over until somebody pitches a live-action Gummi Bears movie….
