Review:
Yes, the little blue Smurfs will be appearing on the big screen this summer in the sequel to the silly 2011 film. Warner Bros. is taking advantage of the new movie by releasing the classic the 1980's The Smurf cartoon series on two new DVDs, Smurfs to the Rescue (out July 16th) and Smurftastic Journey. The latter is supposed to be released on October 15th, but I ran across it while I was browsing through the five dollar DVD bin at Walmart. I'm a big of the Smurfs, so I had to buy it.
The episodes on the release are:
- The Astrosmurf
- Painter and Poet
- Paradise Smurfed / Supersmurf
- Dreamy's Nightmare / All That Glitters Isn't Smurf
All Smurfs fans know Warner Bros. has been lazy with the DVD releases of the series. In 2008 they released season one on two two-disc volumes, but they now only release single discs with six to four random episodes on it, though A Magical Smurf Adventure did have ten episodes. I understand that a single-disc may sell better due to having a cheaper price, but the episodes on Smurftastic Journey have already been released on the season one sets. They could at least release new-to-DVD episodes!
I only paid five dollars for the DVD, so I'm not too upset about the price. I can see parents buying this for their kids who are fans of the new movies, but I would not recommend it for older fans, as they probably already own the episodes.
