Theatres will be turning blue when THE SMURFS 2 comes out this summer! In the sequel to 2011’s THE SMURFS, Gargamel targets Smurfs Village again. This time, the evil wizard creates the Naughties, which are Smurf-like creatures. He hopes that they can give him the Smurf essence that he craves. Gargamel discovers only a real Smurf can give him what he wants and also learns that Smurfette knows a spell that can turn his Naughties into real Smurfs. Gargamel captures Smurfette and brings her to Paris, where Gargamel is known as the world’s greatest sorcerer. Papa Smurf, Grouchy, Clumsy and the rest of the Smurfs return to the human world, where they reunite with Patrick and Grace Winslow (their human friends) to save Smurfette!

Most of the original cast is back for the sequel. Hank Azaria returns as Gargamel, while Neil Patrick Harris and Jayma Jays return to their roles as Patrick and Grace Winslow. Voices of the Smurfs include Jonathan Winters (Papa), Katy Perry (Smurfette), Fred Armisen (Brainy), Anton Yelchin (Clumsy) and George Lopez (Grouchy). Christina Ricci and JB Smoove join the cast as Vexy and Hackus, two of Gargamel’s Naughty creatures.

Fun fact: filming for the movie took place right here on Canadian soil in Montreal!

In the first film, the Smurfs are chased out of their village when Clumsy accidentally lets Gargamel in. While trying to escape, they fall through a vortex at the Forbidden Falls, which takes them to New York City. Papa and the Smurfs end up in Patrick and Grace’s apartment. They befriend them and agree to let the Smurfs live with them. Having captured the Smurfs’ essence from Smurfette’s hair, Gargamel tracks down the Smurfs. He finds a dragon wand and uses it to capture Papa. With the help of Patrick, the rest of the Smurfs save Papa and return to their world, leaving Gargamel in the human world!

To promote THE SMURFS 2, a new Smurf was introduced and he happens to be very tech savvy. Social Smurf can be found on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, where he’ll share all the latest news from the Smurfs Village from his brand new Xperia Z phone! Check him out at SocialSmurf.

Britney Spears will be lending her voice for the movie’s soundtrack for a song called “Ooh La La.” Ubisoft is creating an action-adventure video game for the movie for Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and the Wii and Wii U. A game featuring an interactive storybook and a collection of mini games will be released for the Nintendo DS.

And there’s more Smurfs coming! The next installment is scheduled to hit theatres in July 2015.

Catch THE SMURFS 2 in theatres on July 31!
