The Smurfs are a unique group of blue little people who continue to capture our imagination.  They have been around now for many years and as the Smurfs say: “Let’s go smurfing on smurf.”

You can see Smurfs in comics or on television and the number of Smurf characters has grown over the years and so has the number of Smurf costumes.  They are perfect for Halloween costumes are here are some of them.

More Smurf Costumes and Accessories

The Smurf  characters are all basically the same size (about three apples high) with blue skin and white trousers and a hole in the trousers for their little tail.  The  Smurf society doesn’t really use money and instead each Smurf contributes with their own special skill and they share within the community.

One of the most interesting things about the Smurfs is their unique language.  They use the word smurf liberally in the conversations and replace nouns and verbs with the word smurf.

Commercially, the Smurfs are seen almost everywhere including, comics, movies, tv series and many more.  You can see advertising companies using the Smurfs for ads and products.  There is even Smurf music that has sold millions of copies.

There were many great quotes from some of the Smurfs.

Gargamel said the following quote:  “Ooo, those goody-goody Smurfs make me sick!”

Papa Smurf said:  “Not much further my little smurfs“.

Jokey Smurf said:  “Is it much further Papa Smurf?”

Azrael the Cat meowed:  “Reow-row-row-reowww!”

So what is smurfing?  When Smurfs speak, they replace the usual verb with a form of the word smurf like in the sentence, “It’s a great day for smurfing some fish”.  The usual verb would be catching but you replace it with smurfing.

The term smurfing also has a real use and it means  accidentally dyeing something blue.

There will be a new Smurf movie coming out in 2011 and will be in 3D and will be featuring real actors and not a cartoon feature.  Included in the cast are Hank Azaria, Neil Patrick Harris, and George Lopez.

So who was the first female Smurf?  It was Smurfette, later followed by Sassette and then Granny Smurf.  Smurfette has long, blond hair and wears a white dress and white high heels.  Katy Perry will be the voice of Smurfette in the upcoming Smurf movie.

The new Smurf move will be in theaters on July 29 and will be in 3D.  As part of a promotion for the movie there is a potion promotion game.

If you want to describe each Smurf in a few words you could say Papa Smurf is wise but getting old.  Smurfette wears the only high heels in Smurfdom.  Brainy Smurf is so smart but can’t see very good.  Hefty Smurf is super strong and has a bad tattoo.

Vanity Smurf has the ability to accessorize and is perfect.  Jokey Smurf is funny but shouldn’t be trusted.  Grouchy Smurf is honest but is grumpy.  Greedy Smurf has all that is needed and is a glutton.

Chef Smurf is a great cook but will sell you out.  Handy Smurf has all around skills and has those funny overalls.  Clumsy Smurf is ackward and hard to insure.

Here is one of the earliest Smurf cartoons that came out in 1976 and is fun to watch.
