Did you know that the Smurfs are 50 years old?! Did you also know they were created by a cartoonist from Belgium?

Check out some of the plans for the 50th anniversary:

To mark 50 years of Smurfdom, organizers are planning everything from a 3-D animation feature film expected to be released next year to new comic book collections and a remastered release of the popular 1980s television animated series, Peyo’s family said.

A smurf feature film? I am so there! I remember watching the Smurfs every week. Of course even then I asked myself the usual questions: Why do they live in mushrooms? Why is there only one girl? These questions were never answered, but we don’t need to know the answers to these questions. They are Smurftastic just the way they are!

Here is another Smurf site for those of you who are interested in reading about the history of the Smurfs.

Any other Smurf lovers out there? Favorite episode memories?
