Plot Summary
- The Smurf village is hidden inside an enchanted forest, beyond a medieval village. The village itself is protected by a force field, which makes it invisible to the outside world. At the village, each Smurf plays their special part. Papa Smurf has 99 sons and 1 daughter. Gargamel is the arch-nemesis of the Smurfs who plots to use their essence to become the most powerful wizard of the land. Gargamel's only obstacle is that he is not able to locate the Smurf village.As the Smurfs get ready for the Blue Moon Festival, Papa Smurf (Jonathan Winters) (The leader of the Smurfs) sees in his cauldron a vision of Clumsy Smurf (Anton Yelchin) (the dimwitted but friendly Smurf) reaching for a dragon wand and the Smurfs in cages while Gargamel (Hank Azaria) laughs.Not wanting this vision to come true, Papa Smurf disallows Clumsy to pick Smurf Roots outside of the village. Clumsy disobeys Papa and ends up unintentionally leading Gargamel and Azrael (Frank Welker) (Gargamel's cat) to the village. The Smurfs all flee for their lives while Clumsy unknowingly runs towards the Forbidden Falls (when he misreads a sign), with Papa Smurf, Smurfette (Katy Perry) (the female of the Smurfs), Grouchy (George Lopez), Brainy (Fred Armisen) and Gutsy (Alan Cumming) running after him.Other Smurfs in the village include Handy (Jeff Foxworthy), Jokey (Paul Reubens), Hefty (Gary Basaraba) a strong Smurf with a tattoo of a heart, Vanity (John Oliver) obsessed with his looks, Greedy (Kenan Thompson) who loves Smurfberries, Baker (B. J. Novak), Farmer (Joel McCrary), Chef (Wolfgang Puck), Crazy (John Kassir) the alarm for the village, and others.The Smurfs find Clumsy at the edge of a cliff, and while trying to help him up, they are sucked into a gigantic vortex (which forms at the moment the Blue Moon rises high in the sky) that spirits them to present day New York City emerging in Central Park. To make matters worse, Gargamel and Azrael follow.Patrick was hosting a marketing campaign near Central Park. The Smurfs reach the edge of the campaign location and are chased by Azrael, who bites off a bunch of Smurfette's hair. Clumsy falls into Patrick's campaign bag and is picked up by Patrick who takes a taxi. The other Smurfs were hiding in a tree and drop on top of the taxi to follow Clumsy. The Smurfs end up in the apartment of Patrick (Neil Patrick Harris) and Grace Winslow (Jayma Mays), a married and expectant couple and their Basset Hound Elway. Patrick has recently been promoted at work & has been asked by her boss Odile (Sofía Vergara) to come up with a brand-new campaign for Anjelou cosmetics in 2 days.After clarifying things, the Winslows befriend the Smurfs and allow them to stay in their apartment. The Smurfs need another blue moon to open the vortex to return home. The next day, needing to find a "star gazer" (a telescope), the Smurfs follow Patrick to his workplace at Anjelou Cosmetics, misunderstanding the previous explanation of his job as fortune-telling. Patrick calls Grace to pick them up.However, having extracted "Smurf essence" from a lock of Smurfette's hair, Gargamel also arrives at Patrick's office and ends up being treated by Patrick's boss Odile upon using most of his acquired magic on her elderly mother by restoring her youth and attractiveness. Odile is fascinated by what Gargamel did and woos him to give the secret of the potion to her.But Gargamel resumes his search upon recognizing Patrick and following him to FAO Schwarz but gets arrested after stealing a leaf blower and for causing chaos in the store with some customers while trying to catch the Smurfs. Gargamel manages to bust out of jail with the aid of flies. By that time, Papa Smurf manages to calculate the night he and the others can get home. But first, he must figure out the spell to do so.Patrick tells them that there is an old bookstore in the city near Anjelou Cosmetics as he bonds with the Smurfs after sending what he believed to be his finished advertisement, approved by Odile, to be published. However, the next day, Patrick learns that Clumsy accidentally attached a blue-moon themed side project in the email that went to publishing, instead of the ad approved by Odile and he loses his temper before walking out on both the Smurfs and Grace to save his job.Forced to search on their own, the Smurfs find the store and find the book L'Histoire Des Schtroumpfs by researcher Peyo, containing the spell to turn the moon blue. But learning of their location, Gargamel sneaks into the bookstore and finds a dragon wand, transferring his magic into it as he uses it to capture Papa Smurf as he sends the others to safety. Though the Smurfs promised Papa Smurf that they won't try to save him and return home, Clumsy and Patrick, having seen the error of his actions, convince them to plan a rescue.At Belvedere Castle, after increasing the dragon wand's power with bits of Papa Smurf's beard, Gargamel finds himself facing all the Smurfs, summoned to New York by Brainy conjuring the blue moon. As the Smurf army battles Gargamel, Smurfette defeats Azrael and saves Papa Smurf before they join the fray.Though Gargamel attempts to break the Smurfs by killing Papa, Patrick saves him while Gutsy knocks the dragon wand out of the wizard's hand, but he drops it. Clumsy tries to catch it, and to Papa Smurf's surprise, manages to catch it and sends Gargamel flying into a trash can and being hit by a bus with the advertisement "Blue Moon" on it before Papa Smurf breaks it.Soon after, the Smurfs take their leave as Patrick receives a call from Odile that he still has his job because he finally gave her what she wants, after she noticed the blue moon campaign that Brainy created. Later, Patrick and Grace have a baby boy, whom they name Blue to honor the Smurfs, who rebuild their village in the style of New York.In the aftermath, Gargamel wakes up and learns that he is still in the present and he looks at the audience before telling them "What are you looking at?" and blast them with his wand.
Storyline
- When the evil wizard Gargamel chases the tiny blue Smurfs out of their village, they tumble from their magical world and into ours -- in fact, smack dab in the middle of Central Park. Just three apples high and stuck in the Big Apple, the Smurfs must find a way to get back to their village before Gargamel tracks them down. — Columbia Pictures From the Creators of Open Season and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs comes the story of a group of blue people called the Smurfs who are being chased by the evil wizard Gargamel from their village and go to a portal and hide in Manhattan and meet Patrick Winslow. They are lost and need help getting back to their world before Gargamel gets them. — Andrew Collins With the Blue Moon Festival just around the corner, the Smurfs prepare to celebrate the exciting event in their well-hidden mushroom village. However, when evil wizard Gargamel and his loyal cat Azrael gate-crash the party, a magical water portal whisks the Smurfs off to a strange new land: New York City's Central Park. As wise Papa Smurf and his co-travellers--Smurfette, Clumsy, Brainy, Gutsy, and Grouchy--seek shelter in the apartment of compassionate Patrick and Grace Winslow, the tiny blue creatures must race against time to figure out a way to return home. Can the Smurfs escape from the world of giants before Gargamel finds them? — Nick Riganas A group of magical creatures are chased out of their village by their enemy and up in the real human world. With the help of their new friends, they must find a way back home while trying to escape being hunted by their enemy who is behind them. — RECB3
