I haven't talked about old anime for a long time, so today we'll talk about an older cartoon , "The Smurfs."
This cartoon should be very familiar to everyone, to what extent, as long as you see the words "on the other side of the mountain and the sea, there are a group of Smurfs", the brain will naturally sing. This alone shows how familiar this cartoon is. Alas, writing this, I can't help but think of this group of cute little guys again.
The Smurfs animated film originated in Belgium, and was later acquired by the American company Hanna-Barbera, producing an American version of the Smurfs, causing a ratings boom, and the Transformers at the time, from 1981 to 1990, the whole decade was the top ratings on Saturday mornings, and the popularity was evident.
The Smurfs' English name SMURFS is actually a coined word, because according to the setting, the Smurfs are only three apples tall and live in a mushroom house, so the producer combines the three words of "small", "dwarf" (dwarf) and "mushroom" (mushroom) to form the word "SMURFS", but when we were introduced in China, the translator did not do so many tricks at that time, and when the skin was blue, it was called "Smurfs". By the way, the Taiwanese translation is the blue elf, and everyone invariably starts with color.
There are many characters in the Smurfs, it is said that there are more than 100, but in addition to Papa Sludge and Sister Blue, the personalities of other characters are relatively single, such as making trouble, Le Le is always very happy, Cong Cong is very smart, and does not leave any deep impression, but the villain Ge Ge Wu and his Raz cat are memorable. The story is very simple, anyway, Gege Wu wanted to catch the Smurfs, but never succeeded. By the way, the cute blue sister was originally created by The Witch.
In the twenty-first century, the Smurfs were also 3D, and three movies were produced, the first two were filmed in combination with live-action and 3D animation, but in the third part, it became a pure 3D animation movie, as for the plot, watch the Smurfs don't think about the plot, watch this group of small things jumping is enough.
Since it fell into the hands of the Most Commercial americans, the brand value of the Smurfs has been greatly developed, peripheral products emerge in an endless stream, we were young Smurf books ah stickers ah very much, I remember the Smurf pattern of stationery box eraser and the like are also very popular, but I don't know if it is authorized.
