Get to know the six Smurfs starring in our 2024 calendar!
PAPA SMURF
Papa Smurf is the village chief. He turned 542 years old last spring, and is easily recongisable with his bushy white beard and red clothes. He’s a wise old Smurf who tries to keep the Smurfs from acting like crude humans. He’s also an experienced alchemist, and often saves the Smurfs from danger using his knowledge.
SMURFETTE
Smurfette was originally created by the horrible wizard Gargamel to cause trouble among the Smurfs. Luckily, Papa Smurf used his alchemy to transform her into a ‘real Smurf’ and she became a much-beloved member of the Smurf Village. She’s full of personality and will always stand up for her Smurf friends.
BRAINY SMURF
Brainy Smurf sees himself as the most responsible Smurf and believes he’s much smarter than he actually is. He spends his time preaching to others, often quoting Papa Smurf – to him, whatever Papa Smurf says is absolutely sacred! His friends still love him, even if he can be a real pain in the smurf sometimes.
SMURFBLOSSOM
Smurfblossom lives in a hidden village inside the Forbidden Forest, far from the Smurf Village. She’s excitable and talkative – often, she’ll just keep talking, even if there’s nothing to say! She also has an opinion on everything. Her sunny disposition and smiling face make her a delight to be around.
FARMER SMURF
Farmer Smurf keeps to himself, often spending time on the farm instead of in the village. However, those with delicate ears should be warned – when he gets going, this little farmer has a real sailor’s vocabulary! You can always spot him wearing his trademark straw hat, green overalls and brown shoes.
BABY SMURF
Baby Smurf is a bit of a mystery – he was brought to the village by a stork one clear, starry night when the moon was blue. He was immediately adopted by all the Smurfs, and he completely changed their quiet little lives – but no one’s complaining! Everyone loves Baby Smurf, even when he’s being a bit naughty.
