The Smurfs: Season One - Volume 2

Back to smurf up your day with 20 more smurf-arrific episodes and to thwart the plottings of the evil wizard Gargamel and his cat Azreal are those lovable Smurfs in The Smurfs - Season One, Volume Two!

Long-running (nine seasons) and beloved worldwide by young viewers of its time, The Smurfs finally made its official DVD debut with the release of The Smurfs - Season One, Volume One which featured good video and audio. Continue the first season of this Emmy-winning animated series with The Smurfs - Season One, Volume Two.

Season One of The Smurfs originally aired as an hour-long show, comprised of two eleven minute episodes and one full half-hour episode. Because episodes were repeated as early as Show #3, resulting in more repeats than original episodes being aired, Warner Home Video gives you the episodes in original order from Season One's hour-long format, minus all the repeats.

This 2-disc (320 min.) set features 20 digitally remastered and uncut episodes (complete with original broadcast version title screens); Full Frame (1.33:1) video; English Mono audio; English subtitles; plus the following Special Feature:

"I Smurf the Smurfs!" - Featurette explores the origin and creation of the characters to the marketing of the toys and also examines the popularity of the series thru interviews with writers Marc Scott Zicree and Mel Gilden and voice talents Lucille Bliss (Smurfette), Danny Goldman (Brainy Smurf) and legendary June Foray (Jokey Smurf).

The diminutive blue beings known as the Smurfs are finally back on a brand new 2-disc set with 20 classic cartoons of the second half of the first season restored and rejuvenated for fans of all ages.

With the likes of Papa, Brainy, Hefty, Grouchy, Lazy, Handy, Greedy, Dreamy, and Smurfette, there's never a dull moment in their tiny Smurf village hidden deep within the forest. Of course, there are many horrific dangers and vile creatures beyond the forest. Especially that wicked warlock Gargamel and his conniving cat Azrael who desperately try to catch those Smurfs at any and every way possible. Still, no matter what the danger, the Smurfs come out on top if they all put their minds together as one.

Along with these new-to-DVD adventures, there's a super-cool special feature called "I Smurf the Smurfs" where celebrities and people who worked on the show, like writers and voices from the show, discuss the origin of the hit series and how it became a smurfy sensation for years to come.

You can bet that these little creatures still have their magic touch as they have touched the hearts of millions worldwide. Hopefully, the rest of the hit series will be smurfing to DVD real smurf - er, I mean, soon ! (I really gotta stop talking like that.)
