It's not strong 3D as with Sony Animation's Open Season from 2006, but medium 3D layering that still looks good in 3D, and some pop outs made specifically for 3D in this Smurfs adventure that exceeds the live action Smurfs by a large margin IMO, this being much more authentic to the cartoon series. Unfortunately, the US mainstream mostly gave up on the Smurfs by time Sony got it right (3's a charm)...

Once again, the box office outside the US saved this movie from being a flop. This is now considered a success. I liked the movie, though I do miss the original voices. Even Asrael the cat, voiced by Frank Welker as in the original cartoon, sounded unlike the original for some reason. To be fair, Mr. Welker is elderly, and understandably may not have the vocal cords he once had.

I agree with you from start to finish! Sad this was not the success in America that it should have been. Looks like another import for this 3d bluray
