The Smurfs (animation): Difference between revisions

Line 36:

* [[Endless Daytime]]: In "Queen Smurfette", Father Time fails to bring the close of the day on Smurfette's birthday, resulting in the day never ending until Papa Smurf brings it to Father Time's attention.

* [[Evil Tastes Good]]: In the cartoon, Gargamel usually wanted to eat the Smurfs, and went on and on about it. <ref>In the comics, he initially needs a smurf as an ingredient for a potion that would [[Philosopher's Stone|turn lead into gold]]</ref>. Then, after repeated humiliations, [[It's Personal|he's plain and simply motivated by vengeance.]]

* [[Executive Meddling]]: "The Purple Smurfs" were black in the original book. Very probably done to avoid any [[Unfortunate Implications]].

** The change also happens in the Papercutz translation of the original comic book story to English.

** Even earlier in a Random House publication of ''Smurfery'' in "Romeo And Smurfette", where the black paint Jokey uses to disguise himself as a Black Smurf to play a prank on somebody was changed to green (and now purple in the Papercutz reprint).

* [[Explosive Breeder]]: The fuzzles in "Fuzzle Trouble".

* [[Fantastic Drug]] / [[G-Rated Drug]]: A 1986 episode, "Lure of the Orb," features several Smurfs becoming dependent on the drugging effects of a magic orb, presented to them by a beautiful princess (actually, an ugly witch in disguise). Only when the Smurfs follow her to her castle does she reveal her true self, after which she enslaves them.
