In this story, we start with a prologue featuring sinister space wizards, Razamel and Garganel, on a quest for a fourth magical book to eliminate all goodness from the world. This results in Papa Smurf being captured by these villains. Subsequently, Smurfette, Jaunty, Hefty, Vanity, Worry, Brainy, Grouchy, and the newcomer No Name smurf (desperate for a name and likely a marketing tie-in) embark on a rescue mission. Additionally, we have Sound Effects Smurf, capable of producing various sounds, although his potential is underutilized. Turtle, as you might guess, is also part of the team.
Their endeavor to save Papa Smurf takes them from their world into reality, but the blending of live-action and animation falls short, with the hybrid scenes being scarce and the animation appearing somewhat shabby. Instead, the narrative frequently jumps between their world, our world, and other dimensions in a manner reminiscent of the Marvel multiverse.
From Marvel, it seems they have taken a sequence where the smurfs journey through various dimensions, featuring anime, stop motion, and children’s drawings. This segment is undoubtedly the highlight of the film.
