c smurf III 12
EXT. SMURF VILLAGE - DAY (SHORTLY AFTER SMURFS 2 ENDS)
A big banner reads “Welcome Vexy and Hackus!” Like an Amish
barn raising, the entire village of Smurfs is busy building
TWO NEW MUSHROOMS for the new arrivals.
NARRATOR (O.S.)
For years and years it was just
Papa and his 99 Smurfs. Then came
Smurfette to make it an even 100.
And now, two new Smurfs, rescued
from the evil clutches of Gargamel,
have joined the fold.
The CAMERA finds NARRATOR SMURF walking through the village.
k
NARRATOR c
The whole village has gathered to
o
build them homes of their own -
except me of course - becatuse I’m
the “vocal talent”. s
n
He passes by the construction site of Vexy’s new mushroom.
VEXY is there with BRAINY - wiho stands underneath the
overhang holding BLUEPRINTS.e
W
VEXY
I get that it’s supposed to look
like a mushroom, Brainy - but isn’t

that too much overhang?
c
r BRAINY
Nonsaense. According to my
calculations, there’s more than
eMnough structural buttressing here
to support...
WHAM! - the overhang drops, CRASHING on Brainy - covering him
in a pile of rubble.
VEXY
(calling into rubble)
I’m sorry. I can’t hear you from
under all that “buttressing”.
OVER BY HACKUS’ MUSHROOM - HANDY is discussing design with
Hackus.
HANDY
So what’re you thinkin’, Hackus?
Shitake style? Or more of a
traditional Portobello?
scherick & ronn 2.
Hackus has no idea. Just then JOKEY comes up and offers his
hand to shake.
JOKEY
Welcome to the village, Hackus.
HACKUS shakes and - BZZZT - JOY BUZZER!! The shock ripples
through his body. Jokey LAUGHS HYSTERICALLY. Hackus is
confused. Reflexively he GRABS Jokey by the neck. Jokey’s
EYES BUG OUT. Gutsy rushes over.
GUTSY
Easy, Hackus - that’s just Jokey
smurfin’ one of his pranks. You
know -- it’s funny.
k
Hackus takes Jokey’s hand with the buzzer cand places it on
JOKEY’S FOREHEAD. The current ripples through Jokey’s entire
o
body - giving him a ridiculous “HIGH-VOLTAGE” FACE.
t
HACKUS s
Ohhhhh... Is Funny! Ha Ha Ha!
n
OVER BY VEXY’S NEW MUSHROOM -i Vexy is with Smurfette, still
trying to figure everything eout.
W
VEXY
So you guys all live here, in the
same village?

c
SMURFETTE
Yeah, rexcept for Stinky Smurf, who
liveas way over there.
WHIP PAN TOM A MUSHROOM WAY UP ON A HILL - STINKY SMURF stands
at the door - a VISIBLE CLOUD OF STINK surrounds him. He
lifts his arm to wave, takes a whiff of his armpit, and...
WHAM! - passes out cold.
SMURFETTE
It’s really the best place for him.
Baker PUSHES A CART through the construction hub-bub.
BAKER
Snack cart! Coming through!
Cupcakes for everyone!
GREEDY
I’ll take seven! To start!
Greedy approaches. Baker stops him.
scherick & ronn 3.
BAKER
Whoa-whoa-whoa! Stay right there,
Greedy. Handy made me a new
delivery system so nobody has to
stop working to do their snacking.
Baker PRESSES A BUTTON and a mechanical swinging arm gently
LOBS A CUPCAKE right to Greedy - who catches it. COOL! All
the Smurfs start calling for cupcakes.
ALL THE SMURFS
I’ll take one!/Me too!/Over here!
Baker lobs them over to the Smurfs. What an invention!
Clumsy is fascinated. He comes over for a closer look.
k
CLUMSY c
That’s smurftastic. How does it...
o
Just then Clumsy TRIPS and... CRASHEtS INTO Baker’s cart -
SLAMMING DOWN a gear lever past thes RED LINE. Uh-oh.
n
BAKER
Take cover!! i
e
Suddenly the cupcake arm GOES CRAZY - FIRING CUPCAKES like a
W
GATLING GUN - SHOOTING them in EVERY DIRECTION. Cupcakes are
WHIZZING through the air - EXPLODING into walls, trees,
Smurfs! Smurfs are diving for cover! It’s mayhem!

c
A cupcake slams Vanity right in the chest - taking him out.
r
a VANITY
I’m hit! I’m hit! Smurf down!
IMncredibly handsome Smurf down!
The cupcakes are coming fast and furious. CRAZY sounds the
alarm with his horn mouth until - GLOP! - a cupcake CLOGS IT.
Greedy sees this and gets an ides.
GREEDY
Hey machine!
(pointing at his open mouth)
Over here!
The machine fires - BAAM! - and hits him in the crotch -
“Ooof!” - he doubles over in pain.
A number of Smurfs huddle behind a low wall for cover. Gutsy
looks over at Grouchy.
GUTSY
We gotta stop that thing.
scherick & ronn 4.
GROUCHY
We? You’re hilarious.
GUTSY
You know, ya’d be a lot happier if
ya stopped ya’r belly-aching and
did something for a change.
GROUCHY
Wanna bet?
Gutsy shakes his head, then goes it alone. He JUMPS over the
wall and immediately - WHAM! WHAM! WHAM! WHAM! - is PUMMELLED
by a dozen cupcakes. He tumbles backwards, covered in
frosting. Grouchy stares down at him.
k
GROUCHY c
You’re right. You look a lot
o
happier.
t
The machine kicks out a few more cuspcakes, then finally it
stops. Papa peers out from behind a tree and surveys the
n
damage. There’s CAKE AND FROSTING EVERYWHERE.
i
PAPA e
Ooo-kay, that’s enough for today.
W
Everyone to their clean-up
stations. Any questions?

Vexy raises her hand.
c
r VEXY
Yeaha, I’ve got one. Why exactly do
you guys live in “mushrooms”. And
wMhy are all the original Smurfs
boys? And why can only Papa do
magic? And how come you don’t wear
shirts? And...
GROUCHY
Holy Smurf, that’s a lot of
questions for one question.
SMURFETTE
Of course she’s got questions. She
hasn’t heard the story!
Narrator fights his way through the crowd.
NARRATOR SMURF
Did somebody say “The Story!?”
scherick & ronn 5.
All the Smurfs get excited and shout - “Yes, The Story! The
Story!” They gather around Narrator. Papa LOOKS VERY UNEASY.
We don’t yet know why.
PAPA
(trying to shut it down)
Now, now. I don’t think we have to
go through the whole...
All the Smurfs object.
SMURFS
Please, Papa!/You never want to
hear it!/Why can’t we?!
k
PAPA
(searching) c
Well, because... because...
o
CLUMSY t
C’mon. Let’s clean up resally fast
so we can hear the story!
n
All the Smurfs CHEER, and stairt frantically cleaning. Handy
has a “Zamboni” type vehiclee that sucks up the mess. Clumsy
gets sucked up into it. Papa just stands there looking very
W
unhappy. He clearly doesn’t like “The Story”.
GARGAMEL (O.S.)

The story... the story...
c
r CUT TO:
a
ANGLE ON Gargamel shuffling despondently down a cobblestoned
street. M
GARGAMEL
It’s always the same old story.
PULL BACK TO REVEAL he’s in...
EXT. OLD BRUGES - AFTERNOON
Azreal trots beside Gargamel through the town. They pass
“The Apple Store” (which sells apples) “The Gap” (which fixes
gaps between teeth) a “Nail Salon” (which sells nails),
“Target” (which sells archery targets), Wall-mart (which
sells 13th Century wall scaling equipment - ladders, ropes)
etc.
scherick & ronn 6.
GARGAMEL
A hundred times I’ve pursued the
Smurfs for their essence and a
hundred times I’ve failed. It’s
enough to make a wizard want to
hang up his robe.
Azrael MEOWS.
GARGAMEL
No I’m not having an existential
crisis, you flabby tabby. I’m
simply questioning the meaning of
my life.
k
Azrael ROLLS HIS EYES. Just then Gargamel stops. He stares
at a SIGN in a store window. It reads... c
o
GARGAMEL
“Track Your Family Curse”?
t
s
Below is a smaller sign that says “Have You Been Cursed? 6
n
out of 10 Brugesians Have! Find Out Here.” Azrael MEOWS.
i
GARGAMELe
I am not cursed, you flea-ridden
ferret. If I wWere cursed, how would
you explain all the other things that
work so well in my life? Like...

and... or the time...
c
Azrael raises anr eyebrow, “Go on...”
a
GARGAMEL
OMut of my way! This could be the
answer to all my problems!
Gargamel RUSHES for the door.
INT. FAMILY CURSE STORE - CONTINUOUS
The proprietor, BALDRICK, a hunchbacked bear of a man, stands
behind the counter speaking with a CUSTOMER who is obviously
cursed - SWARMED by his own personal CLOUD OF LOCUSTS.
Gargamel pushes the Cursed Man aside.
GARGAMEL
Go home you whining, sissy-pants.
It’s a few gnats. You’re fine!
Gargamel addresses Baldrick.
scherick & ronn 7.
GARGAMEL
You there! Curse-monger. I am...
BALDRICK
Ha! I know who you are. Everyone
in the curse business knows who you
are.
Azrael gives Gargamel an “I told you so” look.
GARGAMEL
So you mean I am actually...
cursed?
BALDRICK
k
And then some. The Gamel Family
Curse is what we in the trade c
call...
o
Baldrick pulls down from his bookshelf the thickest, dustiest
t
of all his tomes - and SLAMS IT on the counter.
s
BALDRICK n
...a real DOOZY.
i
e
The title of the book is “Curse of the Gamels”. He opens it.
W
BALDRICK
It goes back more than 500 years...

c
EXT. SMURF VILLAGE - EVENING
r
The Smurfs havae finished cleaning and are gathered around the
Narrator as he reads to them from “Pop-Up Book Volume I” the
M
story of how the Smurfs came to be. Papa stands in the back,
still looking uneasy. (NOTE: the two stories - Gargamel’s
and the Smurfs’ - are being told concurrently. We will cut
back and forth between them.)
NARRATOR SMURF
It was more than 500 years ago.
Papa was just a young Smurf...
The Smurfs listen with rapt attention, imagining what it must
have been like. We DISSOLVE TO:
FLASHBACK - 500 Years Ago - AS THEY IMAGINE IT
Papa crests a hill looking like a hero. The CAMERA CIRCLES
him dramatically. He looks just like the Papa we know - only
younger, fitter, more muscular.
scherick & ronn 8.
SMURFS (V.O.)
He was awesome./ And strong./ And
handsome./ And brave...
VEXY (V.O.)
Hang on, hang on.
RECORD SCRATCH - jars us back to Smurf Village.
VEXY
(to Papa)
You’re over 500 years old?
Papa shrugs.
k
VEXY
You look good for your age. c
VANITY o
He exfoliates. I taught him.
t
s
NARRATOR SMURF
Ahem. As I was narratning...
BACK INTO FLASHBACK - in a meidieval style Smurf village.
e
NARRATOR SMURF (V.O.)
W
Papa and the Smurfs of yore
inhabited the peaceful farming
community of Smurfborough.

c
Surrounding the village are many small fields with rows of
plants and vegetrables. Smurfs till the soil. Papa is
HARVESTING MUSaHROOMS. THUNDER RUMBLES IN THE DISTANCE.
M
NARRATOR SMURF (V.O.)
But a great darkness was coming.
Viking invaders from the North!!!
BACK ON OUR SMURFS. Even though they’ve heard it a hundred
times all the Smurfs cower at the mention of the Vikings.
Panicky falls to his knees, DIGS A HOLE in the dirt, JAMS HIS
HEAD into it, and fills it back in.
NARRATOR SMURF
They had already conquered much of
Europe. Now a band of them rode in
search of the great wizard Merlin
who - after leaving Camelot - had
settled in these lands years ago.
GARGAMEL (V.O.)
Wait a minute! Vikings? Merlin?
CROSS CUT WITH:
scherick & ronn 9.
THE CURSE STORE - Baldrick is telling Gargamel and Azrael
about the curse.
GARGAMEL
What does this have to do with me?
BALDRICK
Everything. You see the Vikings
were led by your great, great
ancestor...
Baldrick points to a drawing in the book. It shows a
medieval sorcerer who looks like a handsome Gargamel - with a
magnificent, flowing mane of THICK LUSTROUS HAIR.
k
BALDRICK
...an ambitious sorcerer named..c.
Aargamel the Coiffed.
o
The CAMERA TIGHTENS on the picture as we DISSOLVE INTO A
t
FLASHBACK. Just like in the Papa shot, the CAMERA flies
s
around Aargamel dramatically as he calls out grandiosely to
the universe... n
i
AARGAMEL
e
Behold... my hair!
W
The CAMERA KEEPS SPINNING until we see Aargamel’s Wife appear
behind him - a sharp-tongued woman who doesn’t suffer fools.

cAARGAMEL’S WIFE
Who are you talking to? You’re
r
alone on top of a hill.
a
Aargamel turns and sees his wife.
M
AARGAMEL
(embarrassed)
I was just... I was only...
(then, giving up)
Never mind. I’ll come down now.
AARGAMEL’S WIFE
Good. Because your delightful
business partners are getting a tad
restless.
Aargamel’s wife points down the hill at a VIKING CAMPSITE
below. The Vikings have gathered in a circle around two of
their own. The two, with their horned helmets on, lower
their heads and CHARGE EACH OTHER LIKE RAMS. WHAM! They
knock each other out. Aargamel sighs, and heads back down.
