The little blue Smurfs have starred in a run of family films blending animation and live action. Here's the order to watch their big-screen adventures.

Based on the classic Belgian comics, The Smurfs brought Papa Smurf, Smurfette, and the gang to modern movie screens. The films mix live action and animation before shifting to fully animated adventures, all while the villain Gargamel schemes to capture the tiny blue heroes. From the streets of New York to the enchanted Smurf Forest, the series leans on colorful set pieces, celebrity voice casts, and gentle humor aimed squarely at younger viewers and nostalgic parents.

πŸ• Release Order

Release order follows the Smurfs from their live-action outings into their animated adventures.

  2. The Smurfs 2 (2013)
  3. Smurfs: The Lost Village (2017)
  4. Smurfs (2025)

The first two films share a live-action continuity, while the later films are standalone animated reimaginings.
