The evil wizard Gargamel creates a couple of mischievous Smurf-like creatures called the Naughties that he hopes will let him harness the all-powerful, magical Smurf-essence. But when he discovers that only a real Smurf can give him what he wants - and only a secret spell that Smurfette knows can turn the Naughties into real Smurfs - Gargamel kidnaps Smurfette and brings her to Paris, where he has been winning the adoration of millions as the world's greatest sorcerer. It's up to Papa, Clumsy, Grouchy, and Vanity to return to our world, reunite with their human friends Patrick and Grace Winslow, and rescue her! Will Smurfette, who has always felt different from the other Smurfs, find a new connection with the Naughties Vexy and Hackus - or will the Smurfs convince her that their love for her is True Blue?

Click here to review/comment on The Smurfs 2.After the unexpected success of The Smurfs (which has grossed more than $242m world-wide since opening), Sony have given the go-ahead to a sequel and slated a release date for August 2013.
The little blue men even outperformed the little green men of Cowboys & Aliens and also bested the Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman body-swap comedy, The Change-Up, at the box office.
Of course then, it's only natural that the filmmakers are eager to churn out a follow-up title to make sure children drag their parents back for more. It's arriving on 2 August 2013, almost exactly two years after the original, to be precise.
The Smurfs director Raja Gosnell and producer Jordan Kerner apparently started to work on the sequel a couple of months ago, but now it's been confirmed as a big, blue reality.
