Wait… There’s a New Smurfs Movie Coming Out?! WTF, I Found Out So Late

Okay, y’all…I was just scrolling through the internet, minding my business, and BAM—I see a post about a brand-new Smurfs movie coming out in 2025.And I’m like, HUH?! A what now?!Nobody told me. No ad. No trailer in theaters. Not even a random Twitter meme. Just—boom. Surprise Smurf movie.

So now I’m sitting here, blue in the face (literally and emotionally), wondering:Who asked for this? And why does it lowkey look kinda… wild?

Let’s break this down because clearly, I missed the memo and maybe you did too.

What’s This Movie Even About?

The movie is called Smurfs (super original), and it’s dropping July 18, 2025. And no, it’s not connected to the old live-action/CGI Smurf movies from the 2010s.This one is fully animated.A musical.Produced by Rihanna.Yes, that Rihanna. Fenty Beauty. Savage X. Anti-album. Super Bowl-performance Rihanna.She’s voicing Smurfette AND dropping music for the soundtrack.

Girl, I was not ready.

Who’s in It?

The cast is stacked, and honestly... it’s giving “we’re throwing every celeb at this and hoping it works.”

• Rihanna as Smurfette (also executive producing)

• John Goodman as Papa Smurf

• Nick Offerman, James Corden, Dan Levy, Sandra Oh, Amy Sedaris, Octavia Spencer, Kurt Russell, and more

• Even Jimmy Kimmel is in it, because why not?

Oh—and the soundtrack?Rihanna, Cardi B, DJ Khaled, Tyla, Shenseea, and more.So it’s not just a Smurf movie… it’s a Smurf concert with a bunch of Hollywood voices.

What’s the Plot?

According to early descriptions, it’s a magical musical adventure where the Smurfs have to travel to the human world to save their own.

Translation: Think Smurfs meets Trolls meets Encanto, with a sprinkle of WTF.

There’s also apparently some kind of message about finding your identity, believing in yourself, and something heartfelt like that. But also… they’re blue mushroom people, so I’m mostly just here for the chaos.

Why Did No One Tell Me?

That’s what I’m still trying to figure out.

How did they sneak an entire Rihanna-led animated movie past me??I watch trailers. I scroll socials. I’m on the internet way too much.And somehow… this just floated under the radar.

Turns out they’ve been soft-launching this movie globally—with blue light celebrations in places like Columbus and Brussels, a Smurfette world tour, and even a premiere in South Africa. Like, okay international promo. But what about us casual Smurf-watchers who didn’t know y’all were in the lab cooking this?

Do We Need Another Smurfs Movie?

Listen.I want to say no.We’ve had the OG Smurfs cartoons. Then the live-action movies with Neil Patrick Harris. Then that random Smurfs: The Lost Village one that I completely forgot existed. So… no. We didn’t really need another one.But… this one’s got Rihanna, okay? It’s got a new animation style. And it’s leaning full musical, full reboot. So maybe—just maybe—this is the one that finally gets it right. Also, Smurfette is no longer just “the girl Smurf.” Apparently, this movie is exploring her actual purpose, identity, and independence.

Go off, blue feminist icon.

Will I Watch It?

Honestly?Probably.

Even if I just stream it at home with a snack and a raised eyebrow, I need to see how deep this Smurf hole goes. Because at this point, I’ve already emotionally committed to figuring out why Rihanna is out here voicing animated forest creatures.

Plus… the soundtrack might slap.Imagine a blue mushroom dancing to Cardi B. I need that visual in my life.

Final Thoughts: Surprise Smurfs and Mild Confusion

So yeah—there’s a whole new Smurfs movie coming. And somehow, I found out way too late. I don’t know what to expect, but I’m curious, slightly confused, and maybe even a little hopeful? At the very least, it’s gonna be a conversation. And I can already feel the memes coming. If you were like me and had no idea this was happening, don’t worry—you’re not alone. Now that we know… let’s prepare for the Smurf invasion together.

Need me to break down the trailer, do a soundtrack review when it drops, or just make a list of the wildest things Smurfette says? I got you. Until then…Stay smurfy. Or don’t. I’m not your blue forest overlord.
