Even if it's formally part of the saga, this their Smurfs' movie is something really different from the two prequels, because of its realization completely in 3D (also Gargamella that in the previous movies was interpreted by a man) and the more centrality of Smurf' action (there are in fact no humans apart from Gargamella).
Based on the ancient theme of the trip, this new chapter investigate the relation between smurfs inside critical situations and in front of diversity (they found a colony of all female smurfs) and gives a real importance to Puffetta, who's particular condition (different from other smurfs, created artificially) is analyzed deeply. This psychological dimension, together with dynamic action and beautiful graphics, makes the movie appreciable more than the previous, even if there are the frequent stereotypes about happy ending and manichaeism between good and bad characters.
