Harockerce What a beautiful movie!

Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

invisibleunicornninja When I was little I was forced to sit down and watch this movie. Though my brother was somehow entertained, I was really bored. This movie drags on forever. It probably would've worked better as a short film. I will give it credit though, the animation is pretty good, as well as the concept. Too bad it fails at the execution. There are too many plot holes, the jokes drag on, and most of this movie is unnecessary filler.

capone666 The Smurfs and the Magic FluteEarning money with a musical instrument is possible on the right subway platform.Mind you, the musician in this animated movie is making money through magic.When the king's jester Peewit (Cameron Clarke) gets a hold of a magical flute that can make people spontaneously dance when played, he attracts the attention of a merchant McCreep (Mike Reynolds), who steals the wind instrument to rob villagers.Now, Peewit and a knight's squire named Johan must use a wizard's spell in order to convene with the mystical blue-skinned forest creatures that first forged the flute if they hope to change McCreep's tune.Written and directed by the Smurf's creator Peyo, this 1976 hand-drawn feature from Belgium set the standard of what would go on to become the 1980s Saturday morning cartoon phenomenon; mostly because it feels like three episodes pieced together.Incidentally, when Smurf's hear the magic flute played they turn rabid.Green Lightvidiotreviews.blogspot.ca

ShootingShark In the Middle Ages, Peewit the court jester comes into possession of a strange flute which causes anybody who listens to it to dance until they fall asleep. Little does he know it is a magic flute made by the mysterious Smurfs ...Belgium isn't particularly well known for its significant contribution to world cinema and I'm afraid this movie doesn't change that impression. It does at least have the distinction of being the first animation to feature les Schtroumpfs / the Smurfs, the highly popular creation of cartoonist Peyo (Pierre Culliford), and was made several years prior to the US TV show by Hanna-Barbera. My problem with the Smurfs is that they're too cutesy - all looks and no personality, despite what one of the (rather dreary) songs in the movie says. They are peripheral characters in the story at best, and heroes Johan and Peewit (renamed John and William in the English language version) are pretty bland and monotonous. The plot is pleasant enough, as is Michel Legrand's score - but the musical numbers by Yvan Delporte are fairly excruciating. The movie's best feature is its layouts and backgrounds, which are beautifully drawn and create a lovely medieval atmosphere of castle ramparts, rustic forests and market squares. A harmless cartoon feature, but not very stimulating for anybody above the age of six. English title - The Smurfs And The Magic Flute.

nut_milk Many adults forget that children used to the animated series "the Smurfs" may be disoriented by "The Smurfs and the Magic Flute". I don't forget how confused I was when my parents brought this home from the video store. First off, none of the usual human characters in the animated series appear in the movie. (Missing is Gargamel, among others). The biggest difference is that the voices of the smurfs are completely different than they are in the show, and only a fraction of the personalities in the show are represented. The voices have an eery and, frankly, annoying sound effect on them, making them sound even more chirpy and otherworldy than they ever did on TV.These inexplicable inconsistencies are coupled with some basic faults: The smurfs do not appear until 20 minutes into the film, long after your kids have left the room or turned on the X box. The story is hard to follow and uninteresting. The magic Flute amounts to nothing more than an oddity for "hardcore" smurf fans.
