Congratulations to my favorite cartoon and collectibles, the Smurfs! This year, they will be celebrating their 50th anniversary of being in this world! And what a celebration it will be. There are plans for a new CGI animated movie, a possible series afterwards, the release of the original cartoons on DVD, new comics and collectibles, and get this… possibly even new female Smurfs! Could Smurfette finally have some competition?

Check out these Smurfy articles, all about the Smurfs’ 50th anniversary!
