Wanya wanya!

I know the depiction of the smurfs' home land from the Johan and Peewit comics is now considered noncanon to the Smurfs comics and cartoons' continuity, but I feel like there IS a way to connect the two canons.

Like, what if they were to adapt The Cursed Country into a cartoon again and then add a scene in the end where Johan, Peewit, and the King were helping the Smurfs find a new place to live? And that new place happens to be far richer in life than their old home with flowers and leafy trees everywhere, and it was told in a flashback like a "This is how we got to living here!" sort of thing.

I think that'd be pretty neat and a neat way to acknowledge the og setting's existence while also retconning it in favor of the more lush Smurf village setting we know now.

So, The Smurfs and the Magic Flute had an actual official soundtrack on vinyl, albeit in French, but that's just as good as an English one for me (even though I'm not even CLOSE to fluent at all lol).

This song deserves a shout out for being just so smurf darned PRETTY! I'm not mad that it got replaced in the American dub (why would I, anyway? the american dub was the first version I saw back in high school), I like that one too, it's just a different kind of pretty more akin to 80s new wave (a genre I've adored since middle school btw).

This one actually fits with the medieval period the story is set in really well and the lyrics are also real nice. Props to Peyo and Yvan Delporte for writing this one, they did good. And also props to Michel Legrand for composing this and the rest of the soundtrack. The music in this movie is dang solid overall. ^w^

Nighty night, heroes.
