Live action Smurfs?

June 11, 2008 By: BC Category: 80's, brian carl, movies, smurfs 7 Comments →

I get it Hollywood is spent of ideas. HecklerSpray has an article about the new smurfs movie and that it will be live action.

It worked for transformers and Alvin and the chipmunks, so they figure what other cartoons from that period can we recreate.

  • Well Thundercats?? Nah putting cats in human clothes is more effort than its worth.
  • DinoRiders? They are saving that for Jurassic Park 4.
  • Bucky O’Hare? Hero movies are trendy. but nobody respects rabbits.

I just picture this movie being the Blue Man Group combined with Honey I shrunk the Kids and my grandfather chasing them down with Eiffel 65 playing in the background.

If I could see one 80’s show as a live action movie it would definitely be Pirates of Dark Water. That show was awesome, but really they could only ruin it.
