Beloved in Europe for almost 20 years before they became a toy and marketing hit on American shores, Belgian cartoonist Peyo's industrious and charming Smurfs were a natural choice for Saturday morning TV; fans who grew up with their popular and Emmy-nominated network run (1981-1990) can now enjoy (and share) the first 19 episodes of the Hanna-Barbera produced series, which are remastered and compiled in this tidy two-disc set. Though simplistic by today's animation standards, the quarter-century-plus since their U.S. TV debut has not diminished the key ingredient to the Smurfs' enduring appeal: their unflappably upbeat demeanor, which helps Papa Smurf, Smurfette, and the rest of the clan overcome the schemes of their chief rival, the evil wizard Gargamel, but also a dangerous bird ("The Smurfs and the Howlibird"), a duplicitous genie ("The Magical Meanie"), and the Tribble-like "Fuzzles" ("Fuzzle Trouble"), and the giant Bigmouth ("Soup a la Smurf"). More benign issues are also handled with the Smurfs' typical can-do attitude, like Harmony's embarrassment over his lack of tunesmanship in "Smurphony in 'C'" or the hubbub caused by the arrival of Smurfette (addressed in "The Smurfette" and "Romeo and Smurfette"). And if the dialogue remains a touch on the corny side (especially the incessant use of "smurf" to replace any number of nouns, verbs and adverbs), it's delivered with good cheer by some of the best names in vocal talent, including Paul Winchell, Don Messick, Lucille Bliss, June Foray, Frank Welker, and Lenny Weinrib. It's unfortunate that the set's supplemental features don't delve further into the Smurfs' long history (or even into the TV series) with any detail; the Emmy-nominated 1982 primetime special The Smurfs' Springtime Special is the chief extra, while Smurfs: The Music Video offers tantalizing snippets of production sketches and promotional footage in a haphazard montage. Previews for DVD releases of Scooby-Doo, Tom and Jerry, and Looney Tunes round out the set. --Paul Gaita

First, let's start off with the something bad about this product: the packaging. I'm not a very big fan of Studio Peyo artwork (the style used following Peyo's death in 1992), and while this may be acceptable for the independent foreign video distributors to use, in the case of Warner Home Video's release, WHY USE IT?!? I mean, doesn't Warner Bros. have access to any sketches of the cartoon characters from Hanna-Barbera Studios that could have been used for the packaging to make it a bit more legit ... Read More

We were talking about cartoons we grew up on and how the new cartoons are not really what I would call a cartoon. Sat down and watched the Smurfs while working. What a great cartoon! There is always a lesson, a little adventure and always ending on a happy note! That's what cartoons are supposed to be like.

Great to have Smurf episodes in all in one place. Volume terrible. Menu screen is normal but episodes are SIGNIFICANTLY lower. Still, its great to be able to show a cartoon that I loved as a kid to my 5 year old son.

I loved the Smurfs when I was a child and revisiting them now is a great treat. My fiancee bought me the Smurfs Volume 1 for my birthday and it was the best gift. The video quality is super and the color quality brings the little blue guys to life. It is totally worth getting this collection.

Loved these little blue bastards as a kid and still love the cartoon as a grown up! This first part of 2 sets gives you the beginnings of Smurfette and the crazy searches Gargamel and Azreal his cat get into as they try to capture the Smurfs. It would have been amazing if the entire season was put as one set as other classic tv shows have been put on dvd but it works! If you loved the Smurfs this is for you! Has a few extras and fun for all.
