Review Overview

July 21, 2025 | Dubai: Blue creatures are back, and fans cannot be happier. The new Smurfs movie directed by Chris Miller is a lively and heartwarming return after 14 long years. It brings back the attraction of origin by adding new life and energy to the magical universe of the latest animated film Smurfs.

With a voice cast led by John Goodman as Papa Smurf and Rihanna as Smurfette, Smurfs movie promises entertainment for both young and adult audiences. The film dives into an attractive story filled with action, humor and emotional moments, which is a worthy of timely smurfs inheritance.

A Mission of Love and Courage

Smurfs Movie Review Cute Blue Characters Return with New Adventures

The story begins when Papa Smurf is mysteriously kidnapped by two wicked Wizards -razamel and Gargamel. Smurfette, raised powerful voice by Rihanna, takes charge and leads the Smurfs on a courageous mission in the real world. His goal is to save Papa Smurf and in doing so, to discover his big purpose. The film Smurf shows that true courage is in friendship and teamwork.

James Corden voiced ‘No Name’ Smurf, who steals the scenes with his attraction and comic timing. His travel to find his identity adds depth to the story. The Smurfs movie keeps its tone light and family friendly, but it also shares a meaningful message about self-composition. It does not try to overdo humor or action, which makes it reliable and easy to follow.

This new version focuses completely on animation, unlike 2011 and 2017, which mix live-action and animation. Director Chris Miller’s choice works well here. The animated world feels consistent and rich, bringing out the magic and surprise of the Smurf the universe.

Catchy Music, Colorful Voices, and New Friends

One of the best parts of the Smurfs movie is its music. Although the film has been billed as a music fantasy, it does not include a lot of songs. Instead, it simply keeps them right to keep the story flowing. A standout track is ‘Higher Love’, a Punjabi remix of a pop classic of Cardi B and DJ Khaled. The song is attractive and joyful, adding a modern touch to adventure.

The Smurfs movie introduces many new characters and fun cameos. Jimmy Kimmel makes a lonely character in search of love, a brief appearance in the form of Tardigrade. The Academy Award winner Octavia Spencer, another evil character gives his strong voice to Asmodius. JP Karliak has efficiently played the role of both Gargamel and his brother Razamel, who gives the villain a humor yet horrific aura.

Fan Amy Sedaris will also appreciate Jaunty, a Talking Book with an important role, and Sandra Oh as Kane’s daughter Moxi Smurf. These characters are included in classic smurfs and make a vibrant mixture of personalities that keep the film attractive and refreshed.

Finally Smurfs Movie Brings Back the Magic

Despite extending for more than a decade, Smurfs return strong in this new animated film. Smurf combines a good story, colorful animation, fun characters and great music to create a delightful experience for film families. The film runs a crisp for 90 minutes, and while some scenes feel slow, they lift quickly, entertaining the audience.

This latest return shows that Smurfs still have a lot. Keeping our message simple and hearty, the Smurfs movie reminds us why we fell in the first place with these small blue heroes.

Whether you are fan for a long time or new in the world of Smurfs, this Smurfs movie is a joyful watch. The animation is at the top, the cast is star-studded, and the story is easy to enjoy. Smurfs movie proves that some classics are better only over time.

Let’s hope that we will not have to wait another 14 years for the next adventure with Smurfs!
