SMURFS: THE LOST VILLAGE First Full Trailer Looks Meh

The 2011 Smurfs movie, while financially successful with worldwide box office receipts of $563 million, was panned by critics and audiences alike. That leads us to the soft reboot Smurfs: The Lost Village, which is fully CGI animated. The mystery of why the there is only one female Smurf is the main storyline. The animation and voice work are good, the overall movie is very pretty to look at, but the whole thing is just kind of "meh." Last year's The Peanuts Movie seemed to have more earnest heart and feeling. The Lost Village — from what I've seen in the domestic and international trailer — is very surface level. Sure it's a kids film, but I think we should demand more of them when the bar has been raised so high by Disney, Pixar, Blue Sky, and at times Dreamworks.
