I knew that he wasn't going to give this the Seal of Garbage, but also not say it's great, either. I can't for AniMat to tear "The Emoji Movie" apart, though!
Brittany Illumination Ent. Lover Davis Me too. I don't understand why Smurfs the Lost Village isn't as good or great what Kelly Asbury directed films like Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron and Shrek 2. Is it the writers fault for being lazy and not doing the good job or is it Sony fault for making dumb changes? It makes no sense.
I agree. This was a fun film that just lost momentum at several key moments. Some of the scenes are unnecessary. Better dialogue/silence (sometimes the characters speak when it's not essential to the plot) and more concise editing look like the two biggest things that could improve this production.
I, for one, thoroughly enjoyed the movie ~ even if it's made for children. But hey ~ you certainly had a point on the review. Like I stated before from my own perspective, whilst not necessarily perfect ~ it is still a visually fun experience for both children and the nostalgic fans of Smurfs too.
It's fine but The Smurfs definitely deserves better. The original TV show, despite its flaws and shortcomings, was a much better (at least the first 3-4 seasons) Peyo's comics are great and it's frustrating to see the franchise being mishandled by either by greedy incompetents (see: the first two movies) or by well-meaning people who don't really get The Smurfs (Kelly Asbury). I wanted this movie to succeed. I really like Asbury- Spirit is one of my favourite animated movies from the 2000s)- but he didn't grow up with the comics, let alone the original version. And there you go, he fell into the same traps that so many other people made before him. Maybe the smurfs work better in a 20-45 minutes format, but I think a movie is doable (The Magic Flute)
I'm with you, SmurfyDan. This movie was beautiful, cartoony eye candy that really satisfied my smurfy needs. My only complaint was that there wasn't enough of the other Smurfs in the village! I'm hoping they spend more time with them if there's a sequel (or perhaps a new cartoon series?). That would be smurftastic!
this movie was actually really good, Smurfs the lost village in my opinion was the best Sony Animation movie I have seen, I give it a 9/10 Story: 8/10 Animation: 9/10 Characters: 9/10 one of my favorite animated movies of 2017 so far
Sony originally was going do a third installment to the live action film series but was cancelled because Papa Smurf’s voice actor name Jonathan winters passed away and The Smurfs 2 ended up being his last film role
The Story: 4/10 (The movie's weakest point, I have to admit it's all over the place) The Animation: 10/10 (I think the animators works the hardest in this, and it was worth for them!) The Characters: 9/10 (Maybe some will disagree, but I love The Smurfs, and the characters in this movie are lovely!) Overall: 8/10
My review: Story 3/10 (it's very predictable and laced with filler and awful writing. Ya remember the selfie joke?) Animation: 7/10 FINALLY SONYS ANIMATION DONT SUCK HERE! It reminds me of the peanuts movie where they took the original characters and made them look like they did in cgi. It's not the best animation in the world but it's still good. I think sonys animation only works with stuff like Hanna Barbera cartoons Characters 4/10 Clumsy wasn't that funny, Brainy had no point only to explain the stuff we know, Hefty felt odd to me I mean he's always flirting with Smurfette and I found it creepy considering that they are technically siblings. Gargamil is annoying, Smurf blossom is also annoying, smurf storm is just Aria from Equestria Girls rainbow rocks, and smurf willow and papa weren't much. Oh and smurfette is just the typical girl character. I say only watch this if you are a fan of the original, like with the peanuts movie. Is it better then peanuts movie? Not even close. Still it's one of sony's best movie in my opinion
Considering AniMat's hatred for Sony Animation, I wouldn't be surprised if he's just being biased and rated it lower than it deserved. The animation is gorgeous, and I enjoyed this movie.
Guesses for His Worst and Best of 2017 (so far) Worst #2: Smurfs: The Lost Village (5/10) #1: The Boss Baby (4/10) Best #1 The Lego Batman Movie (9/10)
IamDrone 406 here's my predictions for the worst and best list of this year Worst #5: Smurfs: The Lost Village (5/10) #4: The Boss Baby (4/10) #3: Spark (4/10) #2: The Nut Job 2 (3/10) #1: The Emoji Movie (2/10) Honorable Mentions *The Captain Underpants Movie (7/10) *Blazing Samurai (7/10) *My Little Pony: The Movie (6/10) *The Star (6/10) *Ferdinand (7/10) Best #5: The Lego Ninjago Movie (8/10) #4: Cars 3 (8/10) #3: Despicable Me 3 (8/10) #2: The Lego Batman Movie (9/10) #1: Coco (9/10) I'm not Sure how the best & worst animated movies of 2017 list is going to go for animat yet so we will just have to see
Here's my guess for his ranking of the animated films this year. Best 1. The Lego Batman Movie 2. Coco 3. Despicable Me 3 4 Ferdinand 5. Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie H.M.: My Little Pony The Movie, The Lego Ninjago Movie, Cars 3 Worst: 1. The Emoji Movie 2. The Nut Job 2: Nutty By Nature 3. The Boss Baby 4. Smurfs: The Lost Village 5. The Star
Some things I think Nut Job 2 will be an improvement over the first one and will get a 5/10 Coco will definitely be over Lego Batman Cars 3 will get a 9/10 Just a prediction tho (Also you forgot Blazing Samurai)
Shane Vance Why put Smurfs: The Lost Village in the worst? There wasn't anything that was *terribly* bad about it. in fact, I think it deserves to be in the best, it may not be anything special but I don't think it belongs in the worst.
You have no idea how refreshing it id to hear someone say something positively about Cars 3. I feel like one of the few people were excited for this movie from the word go. But yes, Lightning will have his awesome moment, Cruz will be adorable, and I’ll see my babies again! Maybe even cry when Doc is brought up. I have a feeling we will see his crash in a flashback and... maybe even Lightning remembering his death and... my god, I can hear Lightning yelling, “Doc? DOC!” and being in denial and then Cruz or someone will tell him that “would Doc want you to do this?"
McKenzie Eby Thank you so much. I too am tired of all the haters. I have been beyond excited for Cars 3 ever since it was first announced. I'm more excited for it than I was, am and ever will be for Incredibles 2. I acknowledge that Cars 2 is very flawed but I still really enjoy it and put it above Ratatouille, Brave and A Bug's Life when ranking Pixar movies but that's just my opinion. Lightning McQueen is my all time favourite Pixar character and I reckon with Cars 3 we will see him at his absolute best. I love the first movie but even I have to acknowledge he was kind of a dick in the first act. Thankfully though he more than redeemed himself throughout the movie. One major complaint I have with Cars 2 is that I wish he were given more to do. I would have loved it if he were part of the spy action subplot and was given weapons and gadgets to fight bad guys. But again that's my opinion. I think the biggest reason I'm excited is because the movie is making Doc Hudson relevant again. I think the character is deserving of a proper tribute and flashback and I can't wait to see how it plays out. I'm also hoping maybe they explain how he died. I mean if they don't that's totally fine but it would just be a nice extra touch. Cars 3 is officially my most anticipated movie of 2017, not just animated, but most anticipated movie in general. While I am jealous I have to wait 6 days after the U.S and Canada (it comes out in my home country Australia June 22nd) it could be worse. Those poor souls in Singapore and Malaysia have to wait until August 31! Thank you so much for your amazing comment and your love for Cars 3. Subscribed :-).
Cars 3 is going to be the best of the franchise. As a NASCAR fan the story itself sounds awesome and it will give Cars the charm it had in 2006. I think it's a dark horse oscar pick
so far: The Lego Batman Movie 9/10 The Boss Baby 4/10 Smurfs: The Lost Village 5/10 predictions for the rest of the year: Captain Underpants 7/10 Cars 3 5/10 Despicable Me 3 8/10 The Emoji Movie 2/10 The Nut Job 2 3/10 Leap! 5/10 Lego Ninjago Movie 8/10 MLP Movie 6/10 Coco 9/10 Ferdinand 6/10
Were the Smurfs really that good to begin with? Granted, I never grew up with the Smurf, but when I did watch them, I found them more annoying than charming........ kinda like Alvin and the Chipmunks...........
It really breaks my heart and shocked that Kelly Asbury directed this film since he is best known for directing great animated films such as Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron and Shrek 2. How can Kelly Asbury make great animated films like Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron and Shrek 2 to then direct a mediocre film like this?!
If the film played it safe the whole way trough than why the heck is it PG? Oh wait...BECAUSE CHILD HUMOR IS ALL THAT IT TAKES NOW!! R.I.P G rated Movies.
Blue Sky is probably the only advocate for G-Rated movies. Horton Hears a Who!, Rio, Rio 2, The Peanuts Movie. You know Blue Sky had to fight for a G-rating for Rio by deleting one scene.
My favorite character is Smurfette because she try to find herself to figure out who she really is and I always rooting for her when she count Gargamel
Well I can only tell that this movie will do better overseas then in the USA. I think it would be treated better there and maybe even the writing might be different too! I remember seeing the trailer at the movies and didn't play any pop song there so it must be different here than there. However I do want to see Andre black nerd thoughts on this as you know he's also a huge smurfs fan! XD
That happened in Russia in which there were very creative word-play with the jokes and the Russian voice for Gargamel loosely sounding like Paul Winchell's take on the character. I say loosely because he has a more low and gravelly voice as oppose to Winchell's a bit high and gravelly voice.
RowdyIsRuff123 //Rowdy have you watched the Trolls review it also got 5/10 and on the 5th worst movie of 2016 list. The seal of approval is only on movies that got 9 and 10/10.
Predicting the Years List Best 1. Coco (10/10) 2. Lego Batman (9/10) 3. Cars 3 (9/10) 4. Despicable Me 3 (8/10) 5. Ferdinad (8/10) Worst 1. Emoji Movie (2/10) 2. Boss Baby (4/10) 3. Smurfs the Lost Village (5/10) 4. The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature (5/10) 5. The Lego Ninjago Movie (6/10) Honorable Mentions The Star (6/10) Blazing Samurai (6/10) The MLP movie (7/10) Captain Underpants (8/10)
This movie was a unique gem even if it was for kids The thing about this movie that I like was rather than focusing on all the other Smurfs it focused on the ones Smurf we never knew could even get a chance which was smurfette I mean come on we always wanted to know what smurfette was going to do with her life knowing that she was the only girl Smurf in the entire series plus the animation was top tier and I liked that they showed other Smurfs that were the opposite gender which answered a lot of questions that many fans out there always wondered.
Is it me, or Gargamel's lair looks like the house of Dracula (from Hotel Transylvania)? The one that appears when Mavis is a little girl. Especially here 4:04 I mean, the textures of the ceiling wood beam and the stone of the walls look similar.
A Sony Pictures Animation film that did NOT get the seal of garbage?! Hallelujah! However, Emoji movie will put everything back to normal by getting 2 seals of garbage.
Honestly, what does Animatt expect Smurfs to be? It's not meant to be that deep or engaging. It's like with Care Bears. Most people expect it to be for kids, nothing all that deep to begin with. Once in a while, something like My Little Pony could pull off something that pleases both audiences, but that's because there's different generations of MLP and the world is set in is much bigger, while Smurfs had concrete story and characters in a world that's a bit smaller than say mlp or even Care Bears, where it would be hard to "do it's own thing". I'm just saying there really isn't much they could have done, without not staying true to the source material since there really isn't much to the source material to begin with.. Shoot, the opening theme of the show was "Lalalalalala"!
Here's my prediction for your rating for The Emoji Movie: Story: 1/10 (Ripoffs Wreck It Ralph and Inside Out's plot) Animation: 4/10 Characters: 1/10 (They are all just emojis) Overall: 2/10 (Seal of Garbage) Extended: 6/30
Overall Score for Smurfs: Story: 5/10 Animation: 9/10 Characters: 6/10 Voice Acting: 7/10 Music: 8/10 Overall: 7/10 I don’t know if this movie is really bad or not.
3:10 AniMat? I made the SAME EXACT COMPARISON in my CinematicCritic review! And yes it is a PERFECT copy past of that films ending. Let's just say neither Is likely getting killed off...OR AGING FOR THAT MATTER, so cry 😭 some pokemon tears and don't explain how it helps just like these two movies do!
I feel sorry for AniMat to waste his money to the "Emoji Movie" for doing a review. Couldn't he do it on the trailer instead? It tell much of the movie already.
I Saw Smurfs The Lost Village And It Was A Good Movie. But I Wish They Could’ve Done Was Have Smurfette Sing Some Songs Because Demi Lovato Was The Voice Actor For Smurfette. And The Perfect Scene For Smurfette To Sing In The Movie Would Be During The Campfire. Because Campfires Are Fun And Singing Some Songs Would Be Fun Too. Even Though Smurfette Didn’t Sing In The Movie, She Did Have Powerful Magic To Fight Gargamel.
So far this year, the animated movies that people are looking forward to are all by disney, pixar, and illumination' s despicable me 3. The only reason I want the smoking movie to come out is so Sony will see the light and make a movie worth my time and money. As for dreamworks, they need to clean up their act, hire better writers, and lay off the bathroom humor.
I'm not a huge fun of Sony Pictures Animation either, but I can't help but think that you would have pleasure in seeing them fail. That's kind of fucked up.
Kevin Stevenson you should see his surfs up review. In it he said he was not bashing them just to bash them, he was doing it to help them and realize their mistakes.
I have actually seen that review, and I understand what you mean. However, he doesn't need to await Sony's demise. I acknowledge that they as a company have made bad business decisions, but outside of Surf's Up, he often doesn't review a Sony Pictures Animation film as constructively as films from other animation studios. He shows off a hate boner for them just because they exist, making his opinion on each of their other animated works seem kind of biased, and he has made so many unnecessary jabs at the studio both in his reviews and on the Animation Podcast to the point where I get the feeling that he just takes pleasure in despising them.
Actually I'd prefer a 4/10 rating because I'm sure that this movie could be much better if Sony Animations would getting deeper into the characterization of the main smurfs and more concentrate into one main story and goal instead keeping it all simple for the kids and let go of these juvenile jokes. But as long as you tearing apart the real nightmare called "Emoji Movie" I'm okay with it. I mean when Sony not even put any effort into the ads and the teaser there is no doubt that they not even put a droplet effort into the actual movie.
Mabye you should see some french animated movies like persepolis, ernest & celestine, the triplets of belllville, the ilusionis, DOFUS book 1 "Julith", etc. To forget a little "these" movies & stop hoping for a old school Classic.
3 Sony movies Sony take a break and make something like hotel Transylvania stop worrying about stuff like 😄😃😀😊☺😉😍😘😚😗😙😜😝😝😛😳😁😔😌😒😞😣😢😭😭😪😥😰😅😓😩😫😨😱😠😡😤😖😆😋😷😎😴😵😲😟😦😧😈👿😇😶😯😕😐😬😮💩💩💩💩💩💩💩🙈🙉🙊👽
this movie was ok for me it's atleast better than the live action movies it's predictable and a movie that doesn't really get much of a reaction out of me and for the humor it's hit or miss sometimes i chuckle and some other times they don't hit and finally the characters are genetic and one dimensional this is not a bad movie but however the real bad movie for sony pictures animation is going to be released in July
Thank God this movie's at least OK, because the real horrors four months away
Michael Reed
What horror.
@Rusticabcd The emoji movie
Michael Reed Hey that rhymes!
it should explore more with tribe instead focus with adventuring
Too bad it cancelled The Familliers over this years ago
I knew that he wasn't going to give this the Seal of Garbage, but also not say it's great, either. I can't for AniMat to tear "The Emoji Movie" apart, though!
Also, how can Kelly Asbury go from making great movies like "Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron" and "Shrek 2" to a mediocre film like this?
Brittany Illumination Ent. Lover Davis Me too. I don't understand why Smurfs the Lost Village isn't as good or great what Kelly Asbury directed films like Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron and Shrek 2. Is it the writers fault for being lazy and not doing the good job or is it Sony fault for making dumb changes? It makes no sense.
I thought it was gonna get the Animat seal of garbage
That's going to be the review of the year right there
Brittany Illumination Ent. Lover Davis yep animat will tear the emoji movie apart.
Personally, I think the only major flaws with this movie are the pacing and the pop culture references.
Evan Ponte Hehehe! :) Well I didn't really mind her all that much, but yeah she was a little nerve racking XD
I agree. This was a fun film that just lost momentum at several key moments. Some of the scenes are unnecessary. Better dialogue/silence (sometimes the characters speak when it's not essential to the plot) and more concise editing look like the two biggest things that could improve this production.
The blue music came in the WORST possible moment to ms
I hate the montage because it could explore more about the tribe, Rio 2 handle it better
I, for one, thoroughly enjoyed the movie ~ even if it's made for children. But hey ~ you certainly had a point on the review.
Like I stated before from my own perspective, whilst not necessarily perfect ~ it is still a visually fun experience for both children and the nostalgic fans of Smurfs too.
It's fine but The Smurfs definitely deserves better. The original TV show, despite its flaws and shortcomings, was a much better (at least the first 3-4 seasons) Peyo's comics are great and it's frustrating to see the franchise being mishandled by either by greedy incompetents (see: the first two movies) or by well-meaning people who don't really get The Smurfs (Kelly Asbury). I wanted this movie to succeed. I really like Asbury- Spirit is one of my favourite animated movies from the 2000s)- but he didn't grow up with the comics, let alone the original version. And there you go, he fell into the same traps that so many other people made before him. Maybe the smurfs work better in a 20-45 minutes format, but I think a movie is doable (The Magic Flute)
I'm with you, SmurfyDan. This movie was beautiful, cartoony eye candy that really satisfied my smurfy needs. My only complaint was that there wasn't enough of the other Smurfs in the village! I'm hoping they spend more time with them if there's a sequel (or perhaps a new cartoon series?). That would be smurftastic!
Glad that it didn't get the Seal of Garbage.
Though I'm not sure I can say the same about The Emoji Movie.
I wonder if that movie will receive a 1/10 or at least be declared the worst animated film of the decade
Alex Klepp I don't see it being worse than Norm of the North or Foodfight. Being in the top ten is definitely possible though.
It's most likely he will give the movie a 0/10.
SuperDisney Fan
He doesn't give 0s
Sam Feldstein SPOLIER!
it was rated 2/10
At least The AniMat Seal of Garbage has been reserved for the Emoji Movie as number 3. It was a mixed bag.
Grant Awa for sony yes, but the animat seal of garbage was already given to the boss baby
Don't forget about Surf's Up 2 next week. That movie practically already has the Seal of Garbage.
Grant Awa the seal of garbage is too good for the emoji movie
Sony Pictures Animation, our favorite punching bag.
I still don't get why AniMat hates the Cloudy movies. But yeah, the rest of their stuff is pretty abysmal. "As you can see I am an Emoji..."😕
i did like Open Season
Gemnist I can't wait for The Emoji Movie so that I can make fun of it
I can't wait for the Emoji movie review.
I like Sony Pictures Animation, but I can't wait for AniMat to rip The Emoji Movie to shreds 😈
this movie was actually really good, Smurfs the lost village in my opinion was the best Sony Animation movie I have seen, I give it a 9/10
Story: 8/10
Animation: 9/10
Characters: 9/10
one of my favorite animated movies of 2017 so far
NOW LISTEN UP. THIS IS A STORY. ABOUT A BLUE VILLAGE AND ALL ITS SHIT IS BLUE.
EVERYBODY THAT YOU LOVE IS BLUE, TRANSFORMED INTO BLUE PEOPLE
He's probably going to make an "Animat Seal of Sewage" award for the Emojj Movie!
Always Curious or seal of lava
FINALLY, A SMURFS MOVIE DONE RIGHT!!!!!!
Sony originally was going do a third installment to the live action film series but was cancelled because Papa Smurf’s voice actor name Jonathan winters passed away and The Smurfs 2 ended up being his last film role
9:00 Thank God he was saving the Animat Seal of Garbage for The Emoji Movie.
The Story: 4/10 (The movie's weakest point, I have to admit it's all over the place)
The Animation: 10/10 (I think the animators works the hardest in this, and it was worth for them!)
The Characters: 9/10 (Maybe some will disagree, but I love The Smurfs, and the characters in this movie are lovely!)
Overall: 8/10
A Sony pictures animation film does not get the animat seal of garbage?
That's a first now a days
The Theorist Company the only other time that's happened was with Surf's Up (and if you count Arthur Christmas and The Pirates Band of Misfits)
Brandon Roberts sausage party is not by Sony pictures animation it is by Sony pictures image works!
Sausage Party is made by Nitrogen Studios too, idiots.
Talking Dog wasn't nitrogen studios also responsible for making episodes during the CGI era of Thomas the Tank Engine?
My review:
Story 3/10 (it's very predictable and laced with filler and awful writing. Ya remember the selfie joke?)
Animation: 7/10 FINALLY SONYS ANIMATION DONT SUCK HERE! It reminds me of the peanuts movie where they took the original characters and made them look like they did in cgi. It's not the best animation in the world but it's still good. I think sonys animation only works with stuff like Hanna Barbera cartoons
Characters 4/10
Clumsy wasn't that funny,
Brainy had no point only to explain the stuff we know, Hefty felt odd to me I mean he's always flirting with Smurfette and I found it creepy considering that they are technically siblings. Gargamil is annoying, Smurf blossom is also annoying, smurf storm is just Aria from Equestria Girls rainbow rocks, and smurf willow and papa weren't much. Oh and smurfette is just the typical girl character.
I say only watch this if you are a fan of the original, like with the peanuts movie. Is it better then peanuts movie? Not even close. Still it's one of sony's best movie in my opinion
Well, that was a good review but oh boy the Emoji Movie will be very 'intersting' to sit through to say the least.
Huh. I expected a 10/10 for the animation.
Okay, I did actually find the animation gorgeous.
JF the LOLZOR oh thank God I wasn't the only one
I thought that too
The visuals and animation were incredible! AniMat is just biased against cartoony/exaggerated animation.
Considering AniMat's hatred for Sony Animation, I wouldn't be surprised if he's just being biased and rated it lower than it deserved. The animation is gorgeous, and I enjoyed this movie.
I thought that too!
I swear if people still ask for a Rock Dog review, I will send the leaches.
I hope Animat reviews Rock Dog.
IKR. Rock Dog isn't that bad. It should be left alone.
Rellon Masters So YOU'RE the one who supplies Cellspex with her magic....
+Magistone Send in the hounds.
What rating would you give it out of curiosity?
If the Emoji's in the Emoji movie have the same personality as the Emoji they represent, then would they just be Smurfs again?
Omg toonamp
I just can't wait until Animat rips "The Emoji Movie" to shreds!

Sean S I predict this
Story: 1/10

Here's my guess for his ranking of the animated films this year.
Best

Some things I think
Nut Job 2 will be an improvement over the first one and will get a 5/10
Coco will definitely be over Lego Batman
Cars 3 will get a 9/10
Just a prediction tho
(Also you forgot Blazing Samurai)
I'm afraid that won't be released until next year.
Shane Vance Why put Smurfs: The Lost Village in the worst? There wasn't anything that was *terribly* bad about it.
in fact, I think it deserves to be in the best, it may not be anything special but I don't think it belongs in the worst.
Did Sony forget to release the new Emoji Movie Trailer? Or they're saving for some other movie?
Spiderman Homecoming
Cars 3... I need you baby!
McKenzie Eby We all do, just two more painstaking months left to go. Hang in there. Lightning McQueen's going to save us all with his awesomeness.
You have no idea how refreshing it id to hear someone say something positively about Cars 3. I feel like one of the few people were excited for this movie from the word go.
But yes, Lightning will have his awesome moment, Cruz will be adorable, and I’ll see my babies again! Maybe even cry when Doc is brought up.
I have a feeling we will see his crash in a flashback and... maybe even Lightning remembering his death and... my god, I can hear Lightning yelling, “Doc? DOC!” and being in denial and then Cruz or someone will tell him that “would Doc want you to do this?"
McKenzie Eby Thank you so much. I too am tired of all the haters. I have been beyond excited for Cars 3 ever since it was first announced. I'm more excited for it than I was, am and ever will be for Incredibles 2. I acknowledge that Cars 2 is very flawed but I still really enjoy it and put it above Ratatouille, Brave and A Bug's Life when ranking Pixar movies but that's just my opinion.

I think the character is deserving of a proper tribute and flashback and I can't wait to see how it plays out. I'm also hoping maybe they explain how he died. I mean if they don't that's totally fine but it would just be a nice extra touch.
Cars 3 is officially my most anticipated movie of 2017, not just animated, but most anticipated movie in general. While I am jealous I have to wait 6 days after the U.S and Canada (it comes out in my home country Australia June 22nd) it could be worse.

Were the Smurfs really that good to begin with? Granted, I never grew up with the Smurf, but when I did watch them, I found them more annoying than charming........ kinda like Alvin and the Chipmunks...........
Omnicidal Clown They got better. the strength of the smurfs is in the adventures they go on.
You should talk about me that way pal. And as for the Smurfs, you shouldn't talk about them like that either.
Correction Alvin and the Chipmunks was actually good unlike the Smurfs
Story 6/10
Animation 10/10
Characters 7/10
Total 7/10 Decent
4:53 this song from trailer of captain underpants movie
So the Smurf's world is pretty much a child friendly Dathomir? Okay then...
Purchased this film for no other reason than that the animation quality looked impressive. Ended up liking it as a movie as well.
Well I stand corrected about this film getting the Seal of Garbage. Though we all know the Emoji Movie will get that, that's for sure.
It really breaks my heart and shocked that Kelly Asbury directed this film since he is best known for directing great animated films such as Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron and Shrek 2. How can Kelly Asbury make great animated films like Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron and Shrek 2 to then direct a mediocre film like this?!
Kieran Stark Awwwwwww thank you!
Can't wait for the Emoji Movie review, bet it'll be the grave for Sony Pictures
I'll wait till it comes out on Blu-Ray
PinkiePool GamerBrony was that a pun? XD
When I saw this in theaters, I was literally the only one in the theater.
If the film played it safe the whole way trough than why the heck is it PG?
Oh wait...BECAUSE CHILD HUMOR IS ALL THAT IT TAKES NOW!! R.I.P G rated Movies.
Blue Sky is probably the only advocate for G-Rated movies.
Horton Hears a Who!, Rio, Rio 2, The Peanuts Movie.
You know Blue Sky had to fight for a G-rating for Rio by deleting one scene.
Cars 3 is rated G
I'm 48 and I liked it. I cried a bit at the end.😁 Also, there are new stories anymore. Everything has been told multiple times.
My favorite character is Smurfette because she try to find herself to figure out who she really is and I always rooting for her when she count Gargamel
Well I can only tell that this movie will do better overseas then in the USA. I think it would be treated better there and maybe even the writing might be different too! I remember seeing the trailer at the movies and didn't play any pop song there so it must be different here than there. However I do want to see Andre black nerd thoughts on this as you know he's also a huge smurfs fan! XD
Well, that's not too bad.
That happened in Russia in which there were very creative word-play with the jokes and the Russian voice for Gargamel loosely sounding like Paul Winchell's take on the character. I say loosely because he has a more low and gravelly voice as oppose to Winchell's a bit high and gravelly voice.

What of the emoji movie turns out to be actually good
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA,
YEA RIGHT
10/10:Not the Emoji Movie
This movie was a unique gem even if it was for kids The thing about this movie that I like was rather than focusing on all the other Smurfs it focused on the ones Smurf we never knew could even get a chance which was smurfette I mean come on we always wanted to know what smurfette was going to do with her life knowing that she was the only girl Smurf in the entire series plus the animation was top tier and I liked that they showed other Smurfs that were the opposite gender which answered a lot of questions that many fans out there always wondered.
The emoji movie, great job sony.... now animat will never have faith in you....
Is it me, or Gargamel's lair looks like the house of Dracula (from Hotel Transylvania)? The one that appears when Mavis is a little girl. Especially here 4:04
I mean, the textures of the ceiling wood beam and the stone of the walls look similar.
9:06 *_A S Y O U C A N S E E I ' M A N E M O J I ._*
The animation is so gorgeous!
Smurfs the lost village aka Smurfette has an existiencial crisis
A Sony Pictures Animation film that did NOT get the seal of garbage?! Hallelujah! However, Emoji movie will put everything back to normal by getting 2 seals of garbage.
I completely agree with this. I was hoping it would actually be good but I guess that was expecting too much.
I can't wait for The Emoji Movie review
I thought the emoji movie was cancelled...
5:48 "while it is just good. It is the best animation Sony pictures animation has done in a decade."
Goosebumps: Am I a damn joke to you?
It's like how the Nostalgia Critic described Ghostbusters 2016... "It's average."
As of now, the emoji movie is just one week away!😨 Brace for Armageddon!😱
I actually think this movie is pretty ok. Not bad, not great, just ok. I wouldn't call it horrible though
Oh I am ready for a emoji movie review
+jet the hawk rider ua-cam.com/video/ydvQB-4bBfQ/v-deo.html
Good for you movie, you get a C+!
I can't wait for the Emoji Movie Review.
+Peliha .ip ua-cam.com/video/ydvQB-4bBfQ/v-deo.html
The movie lost the potential that it needed.
The pacing is what hurts the film! And the short runtime.
+Down the Inkwell One word:
True.
agree the montage scene ruined the entire movie
Honestly, what does Animatt expect Smurfs to be? It's not meant to be that deep or engaging. It's like with Care Bears. Most people expect it to be for kids, nothing all that deep to begin with. Once in a while, something like My Little Pony could pull off something that pleases both audiences, but that's because there's different generations of MLP and the world is set in is much bigger, while Smurfs had concrete story and characters in a world that's a bit smaller than say mlp or even Care Bears, where it would be hard to "do it's own thing".
I'm just saying there really isn't much they could have done, without not staying true to the source material since there really isn't much to the source material to begin with.. Shoot, the opening theme of the show was "Lalalalalala"!
Here's my prediction for your rating for The Emoji Movie:
Story: 1/10 (Ripoffs Wreck It Ralph and Inside Out's plot)
Animation: 4/10
Characters: 1/10 (They are all just emojis)
Overall: 2/10 (Seal of Garbage)
Extended: 6/30
yostin santana you were pretty close
Story 5/10
Animation 3/10
Characters 5/10
Movie 5/10
In all 18/40
Overall Score for Smurfs:
Story: 5/10
Animation: 9/10
Characters: 6/10
Voice Acting: 7/10
Music: 8/10
Overall: 7/10
I don’t know if this movie is really bad or not.
Be thankful for what you have
3:10 AniMat? I made the SAME EXACT COMPARISON in my CinematicCritic review! And yes it is a PERFECT copy past of that films ending. Let's just say neither Is likely getting killed off...OR AGING FOR THAT MATTER, so cry 😭 some pokemon tears and don't explain how it helps just like these two movies do!
let me get this straight so the ending is that the new smurfs killed Smurfette and the other smurfs cried and brought her to life with there tears.
InfernoNarwhals Yeah. it didn't dawn on me to later that was the ending for pokemon the first movie.
Peyo is definitely rolling in his grave
I feel sorry for AniMat to waste his money to the "Emoji Movie" for doing a review.
Couldn't he do it on the trailer instead? It tell much of the movie already.
Luigi Marinus 3 You said that Animat loved The Emoji Movie, but in reality, he hates it.
Luigi Marinus 3 That's an 8/10
Could you review Open Season please?
No specific reason why, I just watched it recently and would like to see your review on it
I Saw Smurfs The Lost Village And It Was A Good Movie. But I Wish They Could’ve Done Was Have Smurfette Sing Some Songs Because Demi Lovato Was The Voice Actor For Smurfette. And The Perfect Scene For Smurfette To Sing In The Movie Would Be During The Campfire. Because Campfires Are Fun And Singing Some Songs Would Be Fun Too. Even Though Smurfette Didn’t Sing In The Movie, She Did Have Powerful Magic To Fight Gargamel.
The smurfs from the first 2 movies r kind of creepy to me
The Emoji Movie comes out on my one year anniversary with my boyfriend....
The best animation Sony has done in a decade? That’s nothing compared to Spider-Man into the spider verse.
This came out before Spider Verse.
@@LukeDougherty1003 that’s what I’m saying
just wait for emoji movie
So far this year, the animated movies that people are looking forward to are all by disney, pixar, and illumination' s despicable me 3. The only reason I want the smoking movie to come out is so Sony will see the light and make a movie worth my time and money. As for dreamworks, they need to clean up their act, hire better writers, and lay off the bathroom humor.
My score
The Story 5/10
The Animation 10/10
The Characters 4/10
6/10
Does anyone else get that Veggie Tales vibe while looking at the character design on the smurfs?
AniMat are you a huge fan of the 80's Smurfs cartoons?
“The live-action Smurf movies are better than *Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs,* but even I take Hotel Transylvania over this.”
Are you human?
at least it didn't get the seal of garbage
now let's watch the video
Hey Animat, go on Netflix. You'll see a new animated film about snakes that you can review.
I'm not a huge fun of Sony Pictures Animation either, but I can't help but think that you would have pleasure in seeing them fail. That's kind of fucked up.
Kevin Stevenson you should see his surfs up review. In it he said he was not bashing them just to bash them, he was doing it to help them and realize their mistakes.
I have actually seen that review, and I understand what you mean. However, he doesn't need to await Sony's demise. I acknowledge that they as a company have made bad business decisions, but outside of Surf's Up, he often doesn't review a Sony Pictures Animation film as constructively as films from other animation studios. He shows off a hate boner for them just because they exist, making his opinion on each of their other animated works seem kind of biased, and he has made so many unnecessary jabs at the studio both in his reviews and on the Animation Podcast to the point where I get the feeling that he just takes pleasure in despising them.
Smurfs shouldn't fight, not like this. Not like this!
Honey help I think their going to do me in the smurf
Actually I'd prefer a 4/10 rating because I'm sure that this movie could be much better if Sony Animations would getting deeper into the characterization of the main smurfs and more concentrate into one main story and goal instead keeping it all simple for the kids and let go of these juvenile jokes.
But as long as you tearing apart the real nightmare called "Emoji Movie" I'm okay with it. I mean when Sony not even put any effort into the ads and the teaser there is no doubt that they not even put a droplet effort into the actual movie.
how would you react if super mario run and fire emblem heroes were in the emoji movie without nintendo's permission
HONORABLE MENTION
Mabye you should see some french animated movies like persepolis, ernest & celestine, the triplets of belllville, the ilusionis, DOFUS book 1 "Julith", etc. To forget a little "these" movies & stop hoping for a old school Classic.
3 Sony movies Sony take a break and make something like hotel Transylvania stop worrying about stuff like 😄😃😀😊☺😉😍😘😚😗😙😜😝😝😛😳😁😔😌😒😞😣😢😭😭😪😥😰😅😓😩😫😨😱😠😡😤😖😆😋😷😎😴😵😲😟😦😧😈👿😇😶😯😕😐😬😮💩💩💩💩💩💩💩🙈🙉🙊👽
Smurfs the Lost Village was only meh, but I know the Emoji movie will get It, I can just feel It
At least he put down his Sony movie knife down so he can’t cut it to shreds.
Until the emoji movie
this movie was ok for me it's atleast better than the live action movies it's predictable and a movie that doesn't really get much of a reaction out of me and for the humor it's hit or miss sometimes i chuckle and some other times they don't hit and finally the characters are genetic and one dimensional this is not a bad movie but however the real bad movie for sony pictures animation is going to be released in July
Can you do a classic review of Beavis and Butt-Head Do America
I wanna. See this
Why can't gargamel go back to wanting to eat the smurfs like in the cartoon
