The Smurfs Season 1 Volume 1

SCORE: 80

I am very appreciative that Family Friendly Gaming was given a retail copy of The Smurfs Season 1 Volume 1 on DVD. I did not even know there was a newly animated Smurfs television show that reminds me of the movies in recent years. There are female Smurfs in The Smurfs Season 1 Volume 1 different from Smurfette. Papa, Brainy, Hefty, Handy, Grumpy, Lazy, and more are in The Smurfs Season 1 Volume 1. Expect lots of trouble from Gargamel, Azreal, a troll, and a bear in The Smurfs Season 1 Volume 1.

There is some cartoon violence within The Smurfs Season 1 Volume 1. Plenty of gift boxes explode in the faces of characters thanks to Jokey Smurf. There is one cringe episode where two male characters dress like females to hide in The Smurfs Season 1 Volume 1. I hope that does not increase the current problem of gender dysphoria. There is an episode on the The Smurfs Season 1 Volume 1 DVD disc associated with Halloween. Aliens are also referenced within The Smurfs Season 1 Volume 1.

There is plenty of humor and predictable content within The Smurfs Season 1 Volume 1. An example of the predictable content is when Handy makes Lazy a wake up backpack. Handy forgets a really important feature. That feature is an off switch. No one gets any sleep thanks to that back pack. It keeps Lazy up all night. Handy's inventions have a habit of missing a really key component that would make them perfect.

The female Smurfs are shown as stronger and smarter than the male Smurfs within The Smurfs Season 1 Volume 1. There are instances where male Smurfs save Smurfette in The Smurfs Season 1 Volume 1. The fashion show episode had me rolling with how messed up the "artists" were about their creations. I have heard some stories and meant a few "artsy" people myself so it might be rooted in reality.

The Smurfs Season 1 Volume 1 shows what happens when you take jokes too far. There are plenty of action moments within The Smurfs Season 1 Volume 1. It took me 202 minutes to watch The Smurfs Season 1 Volume 1 from start to finish. I was a bit concerned that this was part of a season but it gives a decent amount of content for the price. I love how The Smurfs Season 1 Volume 1 teaches us to avoid hypnosis.
