If you know nothing of the Smurfs, have you been living under a rock? Those who grew up in the 80’s would spend their Saturday mornings gawping at the TV over animations such as He-Man, Thundercats and these cute cheeky little blue creatures, OK so maybe the Smurf enthusiasts may have been a little bit younger than your He-Man fans but still… The Smurfs are a property created by Peyo, way back in 1958 with the creation of comic books which were later brought to both the big and small screen. Over the years, they have inspired records and CDs that have sold millions of copies, entire collections of figurines and toys, and many more products. In all, more than 3,000 derived products have been produced.
