Editorial Reviews

A magical flute is just what Court Jester Peewit needs to play delightful tunes that make everyone in the kingdom dance: until the dancing turns dangerous. Sir Johan tries in vain to recover the musical instrument, but a thief named McCreep beats him to it, intending to use the flute to steal gold from the King s subjects. It’s the Smurfs-to-the-rescue when Papa Smurf devises a plan to create a second magical flute, and Peewit and Sir Johan go on a great adventure to find McCreep, win the musical duel and save the kingdom!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not the American Version October 14, 2012
Format:DVD
If you are looking for the movie you saw as a kid in the US this isn't it!!! Even though all the packaging indicates it is the movie you know and love, it is not! After I bought this for my wife & she was extremely disappointed that it wasn't the same movie, I did some digging. Apparently the company that remastered the DVD used the United Kingdom dubbed version. THIS CHANGES THE NAMES OF THE CHARACTERS, THE CHARACTER VOICES, & THE MUSIC. Not sure why the company used the UK version or why they just didn't give you an option for having a language selection for US vs UK. My guess as to why anyone who gave better than 2 stars for this movie 1. Never saw it as a kid, 2. Saw it in the UK & never in the US, 3. Just simply does not remember anything about the movie. So, if you have no care about those things then by all means purchase away. At least the story itself didn't change.

**Update**I had heard that a Canadian company had a US version of the movie, I ordered it and saddly not true, they also had the UK dub.

Format:DVD
The Smurfs and the Magic Flute was directed by the Smurfs creator Peyo and was released to theaters in 1976 in Belgium, and 1979 in the United Kingdom. In 1981, NBC aired The Smurfs from Hanna-Barbera and it was an instant success. An English dubbed version of The Smurfs and the Magic Flute came out to theaters in the USA in 1983. Despite being disliked by critics, the move was a box-office success. Over the years it has been only available on VHS, but never on DVD, until now.

The movie centers on a young squire, Johan, and his goofy sidekick, Peewit, (Peyo created the characters in 1952 and then created the Smurfs in 1958). Peewit gets a hold of a flute that has only six holes. Whoever is playing the flute can control other people by making them dance.

A stranger, Matthew McCreep, steels the flute from Peewit and uses the flute to rob people. The King sends Johan and Peewit to retrieve the flute or their kingdom may fall. They fail at their first attempt to get the flute back, causing them to seek the help of a wizard who magically sends them to Smurfland.

Papa Smurf and the other Smurfs agree to make a new flute for them. Before the Smurfs can hand them the flute, Johan and Peewit are zapped back to their world. The Smurfs journey to the other world to help stop McCreep before he takes over the castle.

Shout! Factory has brought The Smurfs and the Magic Flute to DVD, but they used the UK Dubbed version and not the English Dubbed version for some odd reason. So the voices are different, and the names have been changed, such as Peewit is now William and Johan is now John! The picture quality is pretty good, up until the ending. There are a few extras - image gallery, glossary of Smurf terms, The Smurf Story, character guide, etc.

This is not the best animated movie I have ever seen. It takes forever for a Smurf to actually show up! I can only recommend the movie to Smurf fans and new fans may not appreciate it for what it is.

1.0 out of 5 stars A very SMURFED (f-word) up film!!! September 18, 2012
Format:DVD
Okay the description on the back is an outright lie. My mom got me the DVD for my birthday, not realizing that the dub was totally different then both American versions I remember from when I was a child. Both of us were very disappointed. She ended up getting the original VHS version for me. Because of this disappointment, I will likely do some research on DVD releases of old cartoons. Likely I will stick to buying old VHS tapes for my more favorite movies and shows (especially cartoons) in addition to DVDs.
