I have to agree about Handy Smurf, the guy could do it all, he was the total package... You needed something done, you could depend on Handy!
While I really didn't care for Brainy Smurf, I did enjoy watching him get tossed on his keester because he didn't know when to shut up.
Did any of you see that Smurf cartoon movie years ago called "The Magic Flute"? Since it wasn't a Hanna-Barbera project it didn't have any of the characters we liked. So I was disappointed in that movie.
However! Good news might be on the horizon! Hollywood is preparing a Computer Animated 3-D Smurf movie! (Let's see if it actually get's made though!)

Kerner, Nick on Smurf turf
Studio gives classic Saturday morning toon CGI redo
Paramount's getting the blues, acquiring film rights to vintage cartoon characters the Smurfs and setting up development of a 3-D CGI feature with producer Jordan Kerner and Nickelodeon Movies.
Producers have conceived the project as a trilogy and are aiming to release the first film in 2008 to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Smurfs.
Paramount has tapped Herb Ratner to script. He recently wrote "Mr. Lucky" for Revolution and co-wrote Focus' "Clean Break" with Trevor Sands. Storyline is being kept under wraps.
Kerner Entertainment production topper Paul Neesan, who helped acquire the rights, will exec produce along with Nick senior VP Julia Pistor. Paramount veep Matt Jackson will oversee for the studio.
The Smurfs originated in 1958 as a Belgian comic strip from Peyo (Pierre) Culliford. NBC launched "The Smurfs" in 1981, spawning 256 episodes and multiple Emmy awards.
Teaming of Nick and Kerner on "Smurfs" comes as the shingles have wrapped production on "Charlotte's Web" together with Walden Media. That pic, starring Dakota Fanning, is set for a June release.
