TRANSCRIPT
EXT. - DAY *
We push through clouds with a brilliant sun glowing in the *sky. It's all a tad more magical than our sun and clouds. A *warm voiced narrator speaks (Keith David, Morgan Freeman?) *
NARRATOR (V.O.) *There is a place, a place where all *of our sweetest thoughts and our *kindest gestures go... *
Several beautiful STORKS glide into frame. The CAMERA *follows the storks' flight into... *
NARRATOR (V.O.) (CONT’D) *Some people describe this world as *a ray of sunshine wrapped in cotton *candy with a butterfly on top.... *Others say this magical land is *"made Up" or "not real." We beg to *differ. *
EXT. FOREST - CONTINUOUS3 3
...a lush forest with a picturesque blue sky. We see little blue men on their backs - SMURFS (FARMER & GREEDY), carrying sacks of smurfberries.
FARMER & GREEDYWhoooohoooooo! Oh, Yeaaaaaaa!
...We follow the storks as they DIVE into the forest below, WEAVING around ancient trees, over rocks and through ravines in a 3-D thrill ride.
FARMER SMURFOh yeah, here we go. All right Greedy, I'm gonna race you!
(alt) *Buckle your seat belts and put your *snack trays up!! I'm coming in hot! *
They fly in and out of the tree branches.
FARMER SMURF (CONT'D)Oh yes! Gooolly! Farm boys love to fly!
(alt) *Wow! My ears just popped! *
GREEDYOh yeah - so excited! This is Smurfin' great! Yeah! Wow!

FARMER SMURFNow you see us...
As they approach an empty clearing, a magical SHIMMERING engulfs the lead stork. It VANISHES.
FARMER SMURF (O.S.) (CONT’D)...haha! Now you don't!
GREEDY Three, two, one...oh!
Following the second stork, the shimmering engulfs us too. We BURST THROUGH THE INVISIBILITY SHIELD, revealing SMURF VILLAGE in all its Smurfy glory.
FARMER & GREEDYWhoo hoo! Ha ha!
(alt) *Look how small the smurfs look from *up here! Oh wait, we are small! *
The storks dive down and release their sacks of smurfberries into the basket below.
FARMER SMURFOh ho ho! I love the smell of smurfberries in the morning.
(alt) *The blue ones are mine! *
Down below, the Smurfs dance across a stage under a large banner that reads BLUE MOON FESTIVAL. SMURFETTE flies slo-mo through the air and is caught in the arms of waiting dancers.
CLUMSY Oh Smurf, am I late for rehearsal!... I’m soooo late!
He pauses to watch as the storks dump their smurfberry harvests into the giant baskets.
CLUMSY (CONT’D)Wow...
He continues on his way, charging toward HANDY who is busily working atop a ladder on the bridge while TALKING TO HIMSELF.

HANDY (CONT’D)Whoa nilly!
CLUMSYSorry! Sorry, Handy!
HANDYNo problem, Clumsy! I can fix it!
(alt) *No problem, Clumsy! You keep me *employed! *
(alt) *No problem Clumsy! I'm incapable of *bad thoughts or judgement! *
Clumsy trips up onto a barrel and rolls into the village.
CLUMSYAaaaaagh!
He knocks over BAKER, who is carrying an armful of pies.
CLUMSY (CONT’D)Hiya Baker! Nice pies!
BAKERThree second rule, Clumsy!
NARRATOR (V.O.) *Each and every smurf has his (alt: *and her) own personality infused *with love and sweetness. Whether *it's Clumsy smurf, Baker smurf, *Handy smurf.... *
Clumsy smurf passes by a smurf talking to camera with a *turtle neck. *
CLUMSY *Hey Narrator Smurf! *
NARRATOR *Hey Clumsy! Just rehearsing the *intro for the Blue Moon festival! *
Clumsy trips over a banner being carried by PAINTER and a second Smurf.
CLUMSYLovely visit!

Clumsy bounces off of the banner and falls into a cart which flies down the road.
PAINTERClumsy! Perhaps you shouldn't be running!
The cart is spun around and collides into CHEF SMURF and a 2ND SMURF, sending the trays of gourmet pizzas he's carrying flying into the air...
CHEF(Austrian accent)
My poor pizzas...
The cart rockets through the crowd, hits a bump, and sends Chef and the other smurf flying.
CHEF (CONT’D)Oh, smurf!
ALT: *
The cart rockets through the crowd and hits a table with an *ice sculpture of a smurf on it. The pizzas hit the sculpture *and it shatters. *
CHEF (CONT’D) *You just invented frozen pizzas! *Genius! *
Whoosh, the table rockets him forward, like a skimboard on the beach.
TBD SMURFHey Clumsy.
CLUMSY Aaaaaaaagh!
(alt) *Is this weren't so terrifying I'd *be having fun! *
He sails through a window into JOKEY'S mushroom. Clumsy slides across JOKEY'S table filled with EXPLOSIVE PRESENTS. Yellow boxes tied with red ribbons cover the shelves.
CLUMSY (CONT’D)Hi, Jokey!
CLUMSY comes sliding up on the table and nails a super cool *landing on a WHOOPIE CUSHION which emits a LONG SPLOOSH. *

JOKEY *Hey Clumsy! What do you get when *you cross a smurf with a cow? Blue *cheese! *
(alt) *Why did the smurf cross the road? *Because his name is Crossing the *Road smurf! *
Jokey LAUGHS and hands Clumsy a present. *
JOKEY (CONT’D) *I got you a present! *
Whew! He dusts off, and hands Jokey's gift back to him. *
CLUMSY *Oh, oh, oh - no thanks Jokey! I'm *late for rehearsal. *
As Clumsy runs off, he package EXPLODES in Jokey's hands. *Jokey LAUGHS. *
EXT. ENTRANCE TO STAGE AREA - CONTINUOUS3B 3B
Music is coming from the stage area. CLUMSY hurries up, only to be greeted by GROUCHY and GUTSY, acting as bouncers.
GROUCHYWhoa, whoa, whoa! Slow your roll, sailor.
Behind him, dozens of SMURFS practice a SONG and DANCE for the BLUE MOON FESTIVAL.
Clumsy tries to look around them.
CLUMSY Wait, wait, wait. Isn't that the rehearsal for the Blue Moon festival?
GROUCHYWhat can I say, Clumsy, you're not on the list.
Clumsy points to the list in Grouchy's hands.

CLUMSYGrouchy, it's right there!
Gutsy grabs the list and points to writing in big red letters.
GUTSYRight, under 'do not let in Clumsy!'
BRAINY crosses the bridge.
BRAINYClearly you two lack the verbal skills required to explain this predicament succinctly.
GROUCHY(sighs)
Here we go.
BRAINYYou see, Clumsy, the other smurfs don't want to dance with you, for fear of, what are politely called, "fractures". *
CLUMSYAwww, how could anybody think that?
Clumsy gesticulates, simultaneously smacking Grouchy and Gutsy in the face.
GROUCHY & GUTSY Ow!
Brainy laughs and starts to walk away but is kicked hard by Grouchy and Gutsy.
EXT. STAGE - CONTINUOUS5 5
The Smurfs work out the steps to a musical number. VANITY directs the dancers.
VANITYWonderful! Beautiful!
He turns away from the smurfs and we see that he is looking in a mirror.
VANITY (CONT'D)Oh, marvelous!

As Vanity resumes primping himself in his mirror...
BRAINY (O.S.)Ahhhhh!
Brainy flies through the air and CRASHES down on his head, knocking Smurfs about like bowling pins.
SMURFSHey! Hey! What are you doing?
VANITYCut! Cut! Call the king's men, you've murdered my dance!
(alt) *Cut! Cut! That's going to leave a *big, blue bruise! *
(looks in the mirror)Ah! A worry line!
NARRATOR (V.O.) *As happy and as perfect as life in *Smurf village is. Even sunshine and *butterflies must have their dark *clouds. And for all Smurfs that *dark cloud has one name: Gargamel *the evil Wizard. *
We hear lightning crack in the distance and all the Smurfs *look up worried. *
PANICKY *I'm panicked. *
SMURFETTE *Of course you are. You're Panicky *Smurf! *
EXT. GARGAMEL'S CASTLE - SAME TIME *
We see a gnarled old castle with a single dark cloud over it. *
INT. CASTLE - DAY1 1
CLOSE ON: Painted backdrop of sky and trees with a carved wooden SMURF MARIONETTE("Papa Smurf") dancing around a lame, painted, mushroom. A man "sings."

Enter a female Smurf marionette ("Smurfette").
DEEP VOICE (O.S.) (CONT'D)La La La-La-La-La.

Reveal the Puppeteer, GARGAMEL, a tortured, power-hungry sorcerer, whose face comes into view.
GARGAMEL(ominous voice)
But all of that is about to change...
SMURF MARIONETTES SCREAM.
GARGAMEL (CONT’D)(clears throat)

EXT. SMURF VILLAGE - DAYA5 A5
Tilt down to reveal PAPA’S MUSHROOM.
NARRATOR (V.O.) *Once every 365 days, a blue moon *rises that infuses the smurf world *with magic, love and blueness. *During this time Papa Smurf, the *leader of smurf village, is able to *summon a vision of the future. It's *really pretty cool! *
PAPA (O.S.) *Let's see now... scales of a newt, *tooth of a fish, high treacle corn *syrup. That's in everything these *days... *
INT. PAPA SMURF'S MUSHROOM - DAY6 6
PUSH IN through the window to Papa's LAB, packed with alchemy books, gear, and ingredients. A CAULDRON boils over a fire.
PAPAHair of the dog that bit me. And the last of my smurf root.
Papa sprinkles the hairs into the cauldron.
PAPA (CONT'D)I must get the visioning potion just right. The magic is always strongest during the blue moon...
We see smiling Smurfs, smurfberries, and singing and dancing *appear in the haze over his cauldron. *
PAPA (CONT’D) *So far so good... Lots of smiles *and smurfberries... Clumsy sitting *still. That's always good... *
Suddenly an EXPLOSION of BLACK SMOKE erupts from the potion. Papa recoils. The smoke billows up and swirls ominously. It grows darker and images begin to appear in its shadows.
PAPA (CONT'D)What? What's happening?

- A MEDIEVAL DUNGEON filled with scary looking machinery. C6 C6Behind the machinery, all the Smurfs are locked in cages looking terrified.
SMURFSHelp! Papa! Papa, save us! Help us! Papa! Papa!
Papa's eyes grow wide with fear as he stares at the vision. 6 6
PAPAOh Clumsy, what have you done?
Suddenly the door opens and a DRAFT OF AIR rushes in, dispersing the smoke. The vision disappears. Clumsy enters and Papa is taken out of his trance.
CLUMSYHey, Papa.
PAPA(still shaken)
Clumsy.
CLUMSYAre you okay?
PAPAYes, yes. Fine. Why aren't you rehearsing for the Blue Moon celebration?
CLUMSYOh, you know, a couple guys got smacked in the face, so I thought I'd make some smurfroot mudpacks, to, to...um, take down everyone's swelling.
Clumsy crosses to Papa's shelves of ingredients.
CLUMSY (CONT'D)Ah Papa, you're smurf out of smurfroot. I'll go pick some.
Papa recalls the vision.
PAPANo!
(then, composing himself)Those fields are too close to Gargamel's castle. I'll get the smurfroot. You stay in the village and out of trouble.

Ha! Look at all of this smurfroot. They are going to be so proud of me.
Just then, the tall weeds behind him PART. We see Azrael, in classic cat stalking pose, peeking through at Clumsy.
Behind Azrael, we now see Gargamel - holding an OMINOUS LOOKING NET.
CLUMSY (CONT'D)Let's see. Just a few more...
Gargamel's shadow falls on Clumsy, who turns and...
CLUMSY (CONT'D)G-g-g-g -
GARGAMELBoo.
Gargamel swipes at Clumsy with his net but misses.
Clumsy TAKES OFF, sprinting through the woods. Gargamel and Azrael give chase, staying right behind him. Clumsy makes sharp turns, each just barely saving him from an outstretched claw.
CLUMSYGood kitty, good kitty! Look, look! A ball of yarn and a nice juicy bird!
EXT. FOREST - CONTINUOUS8 8
Terrified, Clumsy runs THROUGH THE INVISIBILITY SHIELD on his way back to the village. Gargamel is right behind him. He stops, realizing what he's just seen.

A couple of Smurfs carry Papa's cauldron into town, as Smurfette and Papa exit his mushroom. Papa watches, Smurfette beside him.

There, emerging from the trees, is Gargamel with his net.
GARGAMELHello, Smurfs.
Gargamel strides toward the town, laughing as he smashes everything in his path.
CLUMSY Smurf for your lives!

Azrael perches on top of a mushroom.
AZRAELMeow!

CRAZY begins making an ALARM SOUND as Smurfs SCREAM and scatter. Azrael charges RIGHT AT THE CAMERA. Gargamel is right behind, LAUGHING with joy.

He leaps up and runs, narrowly avoiding Gargamel’s net.
Gargamel swings again, but his net gets caught in a tree.

GARGAMEL (CONT’D)Let go, cursed nature!
Gargamel frees his net and gives chase.
GARGAMEL (CONT'D)Here comes papa, Papa!
In a flash Gargamel is on top of him. Papa dodges his net and releases a lever holding a vine in a tree - causing a pre-rigged LOG to come swinging down like a pendulum. Gargamel stops just in time. The log swings by, missing him.

Meanwhile, we see the log has swung through and hit a boulder, that falls on a lever, which releases a spring, which sends a much BIGGER LOG swinging down. As he laughs, Gargamel turns just in time to see the log - WHAAM! - SLAM him tumbling through the village.
PAPAHow's that for primitive, Gargamel?

EXT. FORK IN THE ROAD FOREST - DUSK10 10
Clumsy leads the pack of fleeing Smurfs.
CLUMSYMaybe this will all blow over. Oh yeah, I'm sure I can fix this. I just gotta think.
There's a fork in the road ahead. The path to the right curves into the forest. To the left enters into a Grotto. Clumsy HEADS LEFT, passing a sign that reads, "Go This Way!" As he runs by, some leaves blow off the sign and we see it actually says, "Do Not Go This Way!" Along the way are additional signs: Forbidden Grotto, CERTAIN DEATH!, WE MEAN IT!
CLUMSY (CONT'D)Yes! Follow me, everyone!
GROUCHYSave yourselves!
Most of the other Smurfs reach the fork and HEAD RIGHT. Smurfette sees what's happening and calls out.

Clumsy keeps charging forward through the grotto. At the very last second he sees that the path ends at a cliff - across from a HUGE WATERFALL. He manages to stop just before the edge.
SMURFETTE (O.S.)Clumsy!
Clumsy turns around, and in doing so loses his footing and falls off the edge. At the last second he grabs a dangling root and hangs on for dear life.
CLUMSYHelp!
The five other Smurfs arrive at the cliff's edge.
GROUCHYOh. Well, we tried, let's go.

Papa is the last Smurf on solid ground. As he's being pulled off, he reaches up at the last second and grabs hold of a stick. He looks up and sees the stick is being held by... Gargamel.

ODILE bids adieu to ROGER CLARK OF NY1 and JULIE CHANG of FOX5.
JULIEOdile, it looks fantastic for Thursday's launch.
ODILEIt's going to be quite the gala.
They all share a showbizzy LAUGH. Then, Odile sees Patrick approaching and drops her showy smile.
ODILE (CONT'D)Ah, there he is. My new Vice President of Marketing.
PATRICK(surprised)
You fired Ralph-- ?
ODILEHis campaign was rubbish. He gave me what I asked for, not what I want. Can you give me what I want?

ODILEFail me and maybe you can go work for Him.
Odile walks off, leaving a Patrick stunned.
HENRISo? How'd it go?
PATRICKFine. Good. Great. A little out of my comfort zone, but nothing I can't handle.
The color disappears from Patrick's face as he downs champagne from a passing waiter.

Gargamel appears.
GARGAMELThere you are! By all means, relax and enjoy the fresh air and the sunshine while my missing Smurfs could be anywhere!
Azrael stares toward Patrick, trying to indicate Clumsy in the box. Suddenly Azreal spots the "high-wire" Smurfs running across the branch above them for the taxi. Azrael YOWLS!

Gargamel picks up the hairball and looks closer.
GARGAMEL (CONT’D)It is! The tawny locks of Smurfette!
Sure enough, wrapped around the mess are several LONG STRANDS OF SMURFETTE'S GOLDEN HAIR - which Azrael ate in the prior scene. Gargamel sniffs them.

INT. WINSLOW APARTMENT - KITCHEN AREA - MORNING47 47
The kitchen is full of Smurfs all singing the LA LA LA SONG as they try to make sense of modern human breakfast.
Gutsy rides atop a spinning orange on the juicer, LAUGHING. Clumsy captures the juice in a glass.
GUTSYWoah, this is great!
Smurfette helps a delighted Grace wash strawberries at the sink.
Patrick pauses in the middle of pouring cereal, freaked out by what's going on around him.
As he sings the La La Song, Grouchy is angrily stomping his foot on the lever of the toaster trying to make it pop back up. Brainy laughs at him.
BRAINYIt’s so obvious that what you’re doing is wrong!
GROUCHYOh, really! After you!
BRAINYClearly this mechanism works like this....
Brainy climbs up onto the toaster lever. Grace turns towards Patrick.
GRACEHow crazy is this? Little blue people! Singing. In our kitchen!
Grouchy kicks the toaster lever. It pops up and PUNTS Brainy, sending him sailing.
BRAINYAaaaaaahhh!
Brainy lands with his trademark head-plant in Patrick's cereal bowl, splattering cereal all over Patrick. Grace LAUGHS.

Aw, it also says they bring good luck. Like leprechauns to the Irish.
PATRICKIt says they’re mythical, Grace.
Gutsy spins out of control on the juicer in the background.
GUTSY Wooo hooo!
Gutsy SAILS off the juicer and lands with a SPLAT of orange juice all over Patrick’s laptop screen. Patrick’s not amused.
PAPA SMURFI'm so sorry, Master Winslow.
GUTSYThat was great!

Patrick wipes his screen, muttering crankily.

Papa jumps to the screen, comically attempting to obscure a picture of a full moon.

GROUCHYWant a bite?

The wand hits his hand - bounces off his fingers - and then... Clumsy snatches it FIRMLY IN HIS HAND.
CLUMSY (CONT'D)...got it!!
Clumsy hits the ground and rolls - right up to Papa's feet. Papa stares at him, incredulous.

Gargamel is enraged.
GARGAMELGIVE ME MY WAND!!!
Gargamel CHARGES at him. Reflexively, Clumsy points the wand at Gargamel.
CLUMSY(frightened)
Ahhhhhh!
A monstrous bolt of raw energy shoots from the wand. It hits Gargamel square in the chest and sends him SAILING OVER THE TREES like he was shot out of a cannon.
EXT. 5TH AVE. - CONTINUOUS122 122
Gargamel flies out of the park and finally lands in a pile of trash bags up along Fifth Avenue. Shaken, he wobbles to his feet, stands in the street, and raises his fist...
GARGAMELHow dare you?! How dare you defy the great and powerful...
WHAM!
GARGAMEL (CONT'D)Plooshucchh! SMUUURRRRFFFS!!!!
We see from inside the passing bus that Gargamel is flattened on the windshield. It carries him away. On the side of the bus we see Patrick's BLUE MOON AD.

Grace looks down at Smurfette...
GRACEHey, girlfriend...
SMURFETTE(delighted by the title)
Hey, yourself.
GRACESmurfette. High four.
SMURFETTEHigh four, Grace.
They share a high four before Smurfette heads towards the portal.
Clumsy's next.
GRACEAnd you...the little hero. Come here.
Grace picks Clumsy up and cradles him in her hands.
CLUMSYHero? Ahh, stop. Well...actually, you mind saying it one more time? It's kind of got a nice ring to it.

At last it's Papa's turn to say goodbye... Patrick approaches him.
PAPAWell, Master Winslow - thank you. You saved me. You saved the whole family.
PATRICKActually - I think it was the other way around.
Patrick kneels down and they hug.
PAPA SMURF *You know what? You've handled all *us a little guys pretty well. *
Patrick smiles. *
PATRICK *I got to be honest, sometimes you *guys were so sweet and so honest *and happy, it got on my nerves. *But now, I think maybe that's what *this world needs a little more of. *
PAPA SMURF *I understand. *
(leans in) *I've never told anyone this, but *sometimes that "LaLaLa" song makes *me want to pull a few beard hairs *out. *
Patrick and Papa laugh. *
PATRICK *I don't know. I think it's catchy. *I heard people singing it on the *subway. *

Patrick and Grace walk arm in arm.
Patrick's phone rings. He looks at it, answers.
PATRICKIt's Odile.
(answering)Hey, Odile.
ON THE ANJELOU ROOFTOP, Odile stands alone, the party over. She gazes up at the Blue Moon, peaking back out from the clouds.
ODILEPatrick, I just call to say 'thank you.' Finally, someone has given me what I want.
She smiles up at the blue moon, the first sincere smile she's shown us.
