Smurfs: The Lost Village Movie Trivia
This movie is NOT a sequel to the live-action flicks that starred Neil Patrick Harris. It’s actually a reboot and totally CGI, rather than a mix of CGI and live actors. Why the reboot? Sadly, the 2nd Smurfs movie didn’t do too stellar in the box office. As cute as the other movies were (I do adore NPH), I think The Lost Village is more true to the original Smurfs story line.

Actor John Goodman was first considered for the role of Papa Smurf, before the role went to Mandy Patinkin. As you probably know, Patinkin played Inigo Montoya in the best family movie of all time, The Princess Bride. He’s played in dozens of other roles over the years, including Rube in another favorite of mine, Dead Like Me and, for a few seasons, as the head of the BAU in Criminal Minds.
