The Art of Smurfs The Lost Village

Based on the classic Smurfs comic books by Belgian artist Peyo, the beloved blue creatures come to life in Sony Pictures Animation’s action-packed animated story of a young Smurf’s search for the legendary Smurf Village—and her true purpose. Smurfette (Demi Lovato), sets out on her grand adventure accompanied by her brothers, Brainy (Danny Pudi), Hefty (Joe Manganiello), and Clumsy (Jack McBrayer), undertaking a wild journey full of danger and discovery. The Art of Smurfs presents hundreds of storyboards, character design, and location concept pieces. With a foreword by Veronique Culliford, daughter of Pierrot “Peyo” Culliford, this insider’s guide celebrates her father’s cherished Smurfs and provides a glimpse into the creative process that turned his popular comics into a feature-length, animated film.
