Review:
The blend of CGI and live-action was used in this summer's The Smurfs 2, which is based on the characters created by Peyo. Now Sony Entertainment is releasing all new animated mini-movie The Smurfs 2: The Legend of Smurfy Hollow is debuting on DVD Tuesday, September 10th directed by animation veteran Stephan Frank. Alan Cumming (TV's "The Good Wife"), Fred Armisen (TV's "Saturday Night Live"), Anton Yelchin ("Star Trek: Into Darkness") and Hank Azaria (TV's "The Simpsons") return to voice Gutsy, Brainy, Clumsy, and Gagramel.
The all new-mini movie uses a blend of CGI and traditional 2D animation (similar to the original cartoon series) and spins a new twist on The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving. Hefty, Clumsy, and Panicky (in computer animation) are huddled around an open fire telling ghost stories when Narrator Smurf shows up and tells the story about The Legend of the Smurfy Hollow! Now using hand-drawn animation, the Smurfs are told how Brainy Smurf wins the annual Smurfberry Hunt for the last nine years, but this year Gutsy wants to win, leading him to follow Brainy pass the Smurfy Hollow bridge, where most Smurfs are afraid to venture because of the fear of the Headless Horseman. To their surprise, Gargamel has set a trap for them. With the help of Smurfette, Gutsy and Brainy try to outwit Gargamel that is if they don't come face-to-face with the legendary Headless Horseman.
