Nice to see the Smurfs in 2D, but the real spirit is not really captured as the direction is less adventurous and more slapstick style. Especially the inclusion of Why you and rude jokes see straight out of the Warner Bros arsenal.
Also The animation is rough, The Smurfs look a bit messy, not reminiscent of the 80s cartoon.
If you look at this standing on itself its actually ok. But probably not the direction anyone would like to see for The Smurfs going forward.
It's nice to see Gutsy in cartoon form as he belongs in the comics too. Hopefully we will see him there too as an occasional/recurring or guest character. And we finally got to see Panicky who was part of the marketing campaign of the first movie, but didn't appear eventually.
