In most cases, due to her long blonde hair, her ears are concealed. This is originally the Series Premiere. Getting Started Contributor Zone ». Edit page. Top Gap. See more gaps ». Create a list ».

If you go by its synopsis, the movie is about a previously unknown village of Smurfs hidden in a forbidden forest—but really, it's about Smurfette, and who exactly she is.
The movie begins by pointing out the obvious: She's not intrinsically "clumsy" or "hefty" or good at baking, the way her single-attribute brothers are. So what's the one adjective or activity that sums up the blonde-haired lady Smurf? Various Smurfs offer ideas, but nothing works out. Over the course of the film that follows, the question of what easy label to stick onto Smurfette slowly turns into a larger problem: Is she even a real Smurf?
She was created by Gargamel, the wizard who wants to capture the Smurfs and drain their magic juices, after all. So the issue of whether she's allowed to have a personality other than "female" is slowly overtaken by the question of whether she deserves acceptance or trust—a subtle nod to the reactions of people who are skeptical that women are even "real" fans any time they seek greater representation in major franchises.
And of course, there's a twist about the Lost Village, which I won't give away but totally upends the ideas most viewers have had about Smurf gender and politics over the years. She often suggested courses of action. She was tough, too. In "The Astrosmurf," she lugs around the huge propeller of a dismantled spacecraft.
Smurfette's new spirit carried over into the printed comic, which is still in production. In an April story, "La Grande Stromphette," she even becomes the leader of the village. But as some see it, as long as Smurfette is the only girl in The Smurfs , modifying her character is not enough. Then they could show good and bad, but variety, among female characteristics. She points out that in the recent J. She starts out as a very dominant character, but in the end, she's kidnapped by the horrible alien monster and has to be rescued by this boy who looks like he's about And it's very striking that [the others] represent this range of character types, but she is just everything female.
It's quite remarkable that there's only this one woman, and it's never equal. Beyond Gargamel's sarcastic remark about the to-1 ratio, the new Smurfs movie does try to address Smurfette's singularity. In one scene, a human character, Grace, asks Smurfette, who's voiced by Katy Perry, why she's the only female Smurf.
He cast a special spell and made me the Smurf I was meant to be. In the film, the "one girl" meme is also mined for emotional substance. After bonding with Grace they give each other a "high four" , Smurfette says wistfully, "I've never had a girlfriend before.
According the director, Raja Gosnell, inventing a new female Smurf for the screenplay was never on the table. We really wanted to stay true to Peyo's original creation, and the fact that there's 99 Smurfs and one girl is part of the lore. We didn't want to just say, 'Let's throw another girl Smurf in there, just because.
That's not to say the movie plays total fealty to the comic strip. For one thing, it's set in modern-day New York. And the filmmakers actually did throw a new Smurf into the mix: Gutsy, a stereotypical "angry Scotsman" character typical line: "I was about to make Haggis with your innards".
Why we created him is, we needed a character who was going to be that first-into-the-breach guy, that man of action, that jump-before-you-think type of a character.
