Get ready to go blue again! The Smurfs are back on the big screen in an all-new adventure that’s bursting with laughs, heart, and a little blue magic. Hitting Ster-Kinekor cinemas on 11 July 2025, Smurfs brings a fresh chapter to the beloved franchise—just in time to win over a whole new generation of fans (and a few nostalgic parents, too).
When the evil wizards Gargamel and his brother Razamel capture Papa Smurf, Smurfette takes charge and leads the Smurfs on a daring rescue mission into the real world. Along the way, they team up with new allies and must uncover the true meaning of their destiny in order to save the universe.
It wouldn’t be a Smurf movie without the OGs—Papa Smurf with his wise words and red hat, and Smurfette, still the sassiest, bravest Smurf in the forest. This film gives the whole Smurf squad plenty of screen time, packed with family-friendly moments that’ll have kids giggling and adults smiling from ear to ear. Whether you're a lifelong fan or a first-time visitor to the Mushroom Village, this is the ultimate blue-tinted joyride.
