Artist Nate Hallinan imagines what a Smurf would look like in real life—and it’s a far cry from the cute, cartoon versions featured in the recent movie. More like a cross between the Smurfs, the Na’vi and Master Shredder.

My opinion?
“I think I just smurfed in my mouth.”
But, hey, everyone has an opinion and you know you wanna watch it anyway, so check out the clip after the break.

Everyone loves to see a beloved character of old make a triumphant return to the public eye. Maybe this character was only ever viewed on a huge TV that sat on the floor and did double duty displaying family photos and the odd knick-knack. Or perhaps he was in a comic that now costs more than your house, or in a book with only well-written words and your imagination to set the scene.
I will admit that when The A-Team hit theaters last June I couldn’t wait to see these heroes of the small screen redone and larger than life. But despite our affection for these characters and their stories, maybe they ought to stay how we remember them instead of being rebooted, remade, and too often, reviled.
With all of the retro cartoons coming back, this decade is shaping up to be like the 1980s, except in 3D CGI. That being said, here’s our first peek at the upcoming Smurfs movie which will be released sometime next year. The plot revolves around Gargamel finding the Smurfs’ village and forcing them to flee into the woods. However, a wrong turn (by Clumsy, go figure) leads them into Central Park, where they must avoid Gargamel, who wants to use the smurfs to increase his powers.

The nesting doll pictured after the break is definitely a robot, but what is the deal with the “Fang” version pictured above? With a little white paint they could easily become werewolf smurfs.
If your chess games are getting a little bloodthirsty, switching to this chess set should calm things down. You can only be so aggressive when you are attacking with Smurfs. Just the thought of little blue blood stains from a particularly hard fought battle just brings a smile to your face.

I am not too proud to admit that I have seen some Smurfs episodes. Maybe I didn’t see enough of them, but I don’t recall an Indian Smoking Smurf character. It would be a shame if they didn’t find a way to work him in somewhere. At least one of them is able to kick back and relax.
