The Smurfs, Vol. 1: True Blue Friends

No complaints. I love the smurfs.

I'm buying things from my childhood to share with my children - and for some reason, the smurfs have disappeared off our TV screens.I am very happy with my purchase, although any customers from the UK should be aware that DVDs from the US do not play in the EU thanks to some dumb regulations. I never knew that. I had to purchase some programme from the internet to be able to play my DVD, and can only play it on my computer. Unfortunately its virtually impossible to get the smurfs in this country, so I'll have to continue buying US DVD's. It sucks.

As it has come to be known that The Saturday Morning Fever,or SMF is back. Looney Tunes was the forerunner for many years, until The Smurfs stole the acclaim. These editions seem to come out every 3 months and have a patterns of each containing 5 episodes. The trailers of the The Smurfs: Smurfy Tales and The Smurfs: World of Wonders are the same as this one.

This item brings back a lot of memories of when I was younger and used to watch this cartoon. I wish all the older cartoons were on tv now for the kids to watch. The older cartoons were the best!!!

This is a single DVD with the following episodes on it:S-Shivering S-Smurfs - An early winter comes to Smurf Village and Tracker is the only one prepared and saves the village.Turncoat Smurf - Gargemel uses his dog to track down the Smurfs after finding Brainy's laundry.The Smurf Who Couldn't Say No - Pushover Smurf is used to do all the work and puts out the Fox Fire awakening a monster.The Haunted Castle - Johan & Peewit' meet a ghost in a drought filled countryside with the Smurfs help they end the drought.The Black Hellebore - After the king is poisoned by the potion maker, to wake the king Johan & Peewit' need the antidote from Homnubus. The potion maker later uses the evil Hellebore flower to try and take over the kingdom.The title sequence of each episode is the newest of the three opening sequences that I know of. The one on the Season 1 DVD's was something about Smurfs being good and Gargemel being Bad, the one from most of when I was growing up had Gargemel chanting "total destruction from mountain to shore", and this one was used when Peewit' & Johan were main characters has Papa singing while the dam is bing built. I don't know if there was an additional opening for when the Smuflings were in the show.This DVD has the same issue that the Season 1 DVD's did where the menu is much louder then the episodes. I just wish that they would have continued to release the seasons, this was just a tease of what should have been released.

My nephew had this on his wish list. I gave it to him for his birthday. He loves it, so I love it. His mother however may feel differently, since she is the one that has to listen to it, right behind her head on long car trips...

ordered for my oldest nephew to add to his dvd collection.

Exactly what I expected, nothing bad to say. The Smurfs are great for the kids to watch over and over!
