The Smurfs - Season 1, Volume 1 (DVD, 2008, 2-Disc Set)

I am so pleased with this DVD. I grew up watching the Smurfs on Saturday mornings. This DVD brings back so many memories of good times as a child. This video is perfect for my 5 year old. It is not violent like most of the shows on tv today. It is fun to watch together and I don't have to worry about violence or her seeing something she shouldn't. Just clean fun.

I heard they were going to release a movie in theaters in November. This video will allow my daughter to get to know the Smurfs in time for the movie.

Buy this DVD set for a Smurfin' good time.

Original, first episodes of smurfs including the creation of Smurfette. Two-disc set makes for hours of viewing and fun!

I cannot believe all the words used in this adorable Smurf land! I don't remember Smurfette being a... um... flirt(to be kind). I, for one, as a parent do not like my children using the word HATE. Grumpy Smurf uses it ALL the time. Gargamel (spelling?) is a jerk! LOL It brings back a lot of really cute memories of Saturday mornings when I would snuggle up and watch this cartoon, however, I'm not 100% sure I like the kids watching it. I suppose it falls along the line of Buggs Bunny and Tom & Jerry where they always go after each other and someone always gets hurt. I'll allow them to watch it but I will not allow them to watch it a lot. Cute, but needs some parental explanations. Had I remembered what it really consisted of they would not have had the opportunity to watch it.

My kids actually love this collection. I knew I loved it as a kid but wasn't sure how kids today would react to the Smurfs. I bought the season One adition and as soon as we recieved it I popped it into the DVD player to see what would happen. We had company that day and my three kids along with five other children sat and watched the first disk from begining to end and begged for the second! They love it! And so do I. LOL

Like the Seven Dwarfs, each Smurf has a unique characteristic, and most Smurfs are named for that unique characteristic. Quality of DVD is great. Storylines good. Everything satisfactory. Overall, loved the Smurfs cartoons, and the kids loved it too (not for very small children, though, because there can be some scary scenes/monsters, and it might be too much for the very young)!
