Smurfs is a 2025 American live-action animated musical fantasy comedy film based on The Smurfs comic book series created by the Belgian comics artist Peyo. A reboot of The Smurfs film series, the film was directed by Chris Miller and written by Pam Brady. It stars Rihanna, who also produces the film, as the voice of Smurfette, alongside an ensemble cast including James Corden, Nick Offerman, JP Karliak, Daniel Levy, Amy Sedaris, Natasha Lyonne, Sandra Oh, Jimmy Kimmel, Octavia Spencer, Nick Kroll, Hannah Waddingham, Alex Winter, Maya Erskine, Kurt Russell, and John Goodman. In February 2022, it was reported that Lafig S.A. and IMPS, now known as Peyo Company, the owners of the Smurfs brand, had agreed to a partnership with Paramount Animation to produce multiple animated Smurfs films, with the first project being a musical. Brady was attached to write the screenplay, with production set to begin later that year. By June 2022, Miller had been hired to direct the film, and by April 2023, Rihanna had joined the film as a voice actor and producer, along with writing and recording original songs. Animation services were provided by Cinesite. Smurfs premiered in Brussels on June 28, 2025, and was released by Paramount Pictures in the United States on July 18. The film received generally negative reviews from critics and, despite grossing over $124.1 million worldwide, was ultimately considered to be a box-office disappointment and lost $80 million for Paramount.
