Smurfy - by which I mean lots of smurfs. They're everywhere in Smurfs, and they
all look exactly the same with the exception of a few key characters.
Not that that's a terrible thing. But the whole village seems to just
wash away in a white-capped blue tide within the first few minutes. Of
course there's the vile human and his cat to break up the monotony, not
to mention some furry woodland critters. And there's about a dozen
smurfs with a distinct personality. But the sameness gets annoying after
a while. One question: how is it that there is such a healthy smurf
population when there are practically no female smurfs??
Oh,
well. And then there's the vocabulary. Everything is *smurf* this,
*smurf* that, *Oh, how smurfy!*. How many words can you replace with the
word *smurf*? They seemed determined to find out. And their voices are
mostly high-pitched, without the correct quality to make them cute like
the chipmunks. It's entertaining to a point, but it gets tiresome after a
very short period of time.
