Well this one kinda snuck up and bit me in the smurf. Apparently, Hendrik Coysman of IMPS (who have the rights to the Smurfs) is working with Paramount Pictures / Nickelodeon to bring us an animated 3-D Smurfs movie THIS year - their 50th anniversary. No further confirmed timing or voicing details are available.
The word is that John Lithgow and Julia Sweeney are to lend their voices to the movie.
The movie has not been confirmed to be in actual 3-D Stereoscopic format so don't get your hopes up too high kids. All too often marketers will refer to computer generated animation as being 3D when they are really just mean that the images don't seem flat (like the old Smurfs TV show vs. something like Shrek). I will let you know when this is confirmed as being Stereoscopic 3-D (comin' at ya!). If it turns out to NOT be in Stereoscopic 3-D, I will pull this post off MarketSaw faster than you can say "Papa Smurf" 3 times fast...
