Les Aventures des Schtroumpfs (1965)

History

In 1976, Stuart R. Ross, an American media and entertainment entrepreneur who saw the Smurfs while traveling in Belgium, entered into an agreement with Editions Dupuis and Peyo, acquiring North American and other rights to the characters, whose original name was "les Schtroumpfs". Subsequently, Ross launched the Smurfs in the United States in association with a California company, Wallace Berrie and Co., whose figurines, dolls and other Smurf merchandise became a hugely popular success. NBC President Fred Silverman's daughter, Melissa, had a Smurf doll of her own that he had bought for her at a toy shop while they were visiting Aspen, Colorado. Silverman thought that a series based on the Smurfs might make a good addition to his Saturday-morning lineup.[3]

The Saturday morning cartoon The Smurfs, produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions in association with SEPP International S.A. (from 1981 to 1987) and Lafig S.A. (in the years 1988 and 1989), debuted on NBC at 8:30 AM in 1981. The series became a major success for the network[4] (one of the few hits to emerge from the Fred Silverman era) and one of the most successful and longest running Saturday morning cartoons in television history, spawning seven spin-off television specials on an almost yearly basis. The characters included Papa Smurf, Smurfette, Brainy Smurf, the evil Gargamel, his cat Azrael, and Johan and his friend Peewit. The Smurfs was nominated multiple times for Daytime Emmy Awards and won Outstanding Children's Entertainment Series in 1982–1983.[5]

By 1989, the show was in its ninth season and had reached the 200-episode threshold, an extreme rarity when most cartoons were gone after two seasons and 22 episodes (it also far exceeded the typical 65-episode run of a first-run syndicated show of the era). In an effort to come up with new ideas to keep the show fresh, NBC changed the format of the show, taking some of the Smurfs out of the forest and omitting the Smurf Village. These changes were adopted to a lost-in-time format similar to The Time Tunnel (at the same time NBC had a hit with the prime time series Quantum Leap which also dealt with time travel). The show continued through the end of the season, airing the last original episode 2 December 1989 on NBC,[citation needed] after a decade of success, NBC later cancelled The Smurfs along with other Saturday-morning cartoons to make way for another block of live-action programming on 9 April 1990, The Smurfs had its last re-run on NBC on 25 August 1990. The total number of individual eleven minute and twenty-two minute cartoons in the entire series run came to 425.[citation needed]

Production

Outsourced production work was done by Wang Film Productions/Cuckoo's Nest Studios and, only for Season 7, by Toei Animation.

Use of classical music

The Smurfs was noted for its frequent use of classical music as background music or themes for particular events. Notable works which are found in The Smurfs include:[6][7]

Syndication

A half-hour version for syndication was broadcast under the title Smurfs' Adventures since 1986. Although each season had its own unique opening song during the original broadcast, syndicated airings usually use a shortened version of the season 4 opening, currently, the syndicated versions continued to air on Boomerang.[citation needed]

Home media

Region 1

Warner Home Video (via Hanna-Barbera Cartoons and Warner Bros. Family Entertainment) released the complete first season on DVD in a two-volume set in 2008.[9][10] Despite high sales of both sets,[11] no further seasons have been released. Warner Home Video later released a series of three single-disc releases of The Smurfs in 2009, each containing five episodes from the second season.[12][13][14] A two-disc DVD was set to be released in 2011 to tie into the theatrical film with 10 episodes which would be culled from the entire run of the series,[15] instead, it included episodes from the second season. Another DVD with both Smurfs Christmas specials was released later that year.[16] It is unknown if Warner Archive will release the rest of the show's complete seasons (under the Hanna-Barbera Classics Collection banner or not) on MOD DVD.

In 2020, HBO Max released seasons one to four on its online streaming platform. The available seasons are presented in 1080p high definition.

entrepreneur who saw the Smurfs while traveling in Belgium entered into an agreement with Editions Dupuis and Peyo acquiring North American and other rights to the characters whose original name was les Schtroumpfs Subsequently Ross launched the Smurfs in the United States in association with a California company Wallace Berrie and Co whose figurines dolls and other Smurf merchandise became a hugely popular success NBC President Fred Silverman s daughter Melissa had a Smurf doll of her own that he had bought for her at a toy shop while they were visiting Aspen Colorado Silverman thought that a series based on the Smurfs might make a good addition to his Saturday morning lineup 3 The Saturday morning cartoon The Smurfs produced by Hanna Barbera Productions in association with SEPP International S A from 1981 to 1987 and Lafig S A in the years 1988 and 1989 debuted on NBC at 8 30 AM in 1981 The series became a major success for the network 4 one of the few hits to emerge from the Fred Silverman era and one of the most successful and longest running Saturday morning cartoons in television history spawning seven spin off television specials on an almost yearly basis The characters included Papa Smurf Smurfette Brainy Smurf the evil Gargamel his cat Azrael and Johan and his friend Peewit The Smurfs was nominated multiple times for Daytime Emmy Awards and won Outstanding Children s Entertainment Series in 1982 1983 5 By 1989 the show was in its ninth season and had reached the 200 episode threshold an extreme rarity when most cartoons were gone after two seasons and 22 episodes it also far exceeded the typical 65 episode run of a first run syndicated show of the era In an effort to come up with new ideas to keep the show fresh NBC changed the format of the show taking some of the Smurfs out of the forest and omitting the Smurf Village These changes were adopted to a lost in time format similar to The Time Tunnel at the same time NBC had a hit with the prime time series Quantum Leap which also dealt with time travel The show continued through the end of the season airing the last original episode 2 December 1989 on NBC citation needed after a decade of success NBC later cancelled The Smurfs along with other Saturday morning cartoons to make way for another block of live action programming on 9 April 1990 The Smurfs had its last re run on NBC on 25 August 1990 The total number of individual eleven minute and twenty two minute cartoons in the entire series run came to 425 citation needed Episodes EditMain article List of The Smurfs
