Description: The Smurfs 2 (2013) tells the story of Smurfette, voiced by Katy Perry, as she struggles with her past. Created by the evil Gargamel, voiced by Hank Azaria, to destroy the Smurfs, she was later rescued by Papa Smurf, voiced by Jonathan Winters, who transformed her into a true Smurf. As her birthday approaches, Smurfette begins having nightmares about reverting to her original form and betraying her friends. Despite the Smurfs secretly planning a surprise party for her, Smurfette misinterprets their silence and believes they’ve forgotten her birthday.
Meanwhile, Gargamel, now a celebrity in Paris, is running low on the magical Smurf essence that fuels his powers. With the help of his creations, Vexy and Hackus, voiced by Christina Ricci and J.B. Smoove, he devises a plan to kidnap Smurfette. Using the Eiffel Tower as a portal, Gargamel sends Vexy to Smurf Village to capture her, hoping to uncover Papa Smurf’s secret formula for creating Smurfs.
When Smurfette is taken, Papa Smurf creates magical crystals to send Brainy, Hefty, and Gutsy, voiced by Fred Armisen, Gary Basaraba, and Alan Cumming, to seek help from their human friends, Patrick and Grace Winslow, played by Neil Patrick Harris and Jayma Mays. However, due to a mishap, Clumsy, Grouchy, and Vanity, voiced by Anton Yelchin, George Lopez, and John Oliver, end up traveling to New York instead. Together, they embark on a mission to rescue Smurfette and stop Gargamel’s sinister plans.
