Oh, hi, Smurfette.
I'm gonna play a solo
in a holiday festival.
Wanna hear it?
Oh, I can't right now, Harmony,
maybe later.
'I have to put my presents
under the tree. Bye.'
Hey, Grouchy,
wanna hear my solo?
I hate solos.
Easy, smurf's it.
Watch out!
Be careful, Clumsy, slow down.
Hefty, careful now. Sloppy!
Hey, Smurfs, wanna hear my solo?
Not now, Harmony,
you should know better.
Papa Smurf says
the great pudding
'is one of
the most important elements'
'of a holiday celebration.'
'And any distraction
that might cause'
'even one drop to be spilled..'
No Smurf appreciates
good music anymore.

[Jokey chuckling]
Smurfy-looking present
you have there, Jokey.
My special holiday surprises.
One for every Smurf.
'Have you made yours?'
I wrote a holiday solo.
Wanna hear it?
[trumpet music]
Wait!
boom
That's not funny.
I'll have to make another.
I can hardly wait
for it to be done.
It's the greatest pudding
I ever made.
And I didn't spill
a single drop.
I know that Papa Smurf
will be pleased with my work
and I, for one, predict that..
plop
You wanna hear my solo now?
'Move a little higher.'
'Easy with those cones.'
'A little lower, Smurfette.'
'That's right. Perfect.'
[sighs]
All my little Smurfs
look so happy.
This may be the best holiday
celebration we've ever had.
(male #1)
'And ever since then,
on every Christmas Eve'
Jolly Santa Claus
with his white beard
bright red cap and a big sack,
stepped out on his journey
to visit children
all over the world.
And bring us presents?
Oh, I love that story,
grandfather.
Is Santa Claus real,
grandfather?
'Well, when I was
a little boy, William'
'Christmas Eve just wouldn't
be Christmas Eve..'
[dramatic music]
Christmas Eve! Bah!
Oh, I hate holidays.
But Christmas,
I despise most of all.
Just think of those miserable
blue Smurfs out there
making their little presents,
exuding all their...yuck!
...love and good cheer.
I won't have it!
I won't, I won't, I won't!
[Azrael screeching]
Ouch! Why, you miserable cat!
I'm going to turn you
into a rug that I can..
What's this?
"Mother's Old Recipe
for Making Life Miserable."
This is it!
This is just what I need to
destroy the Smurfs' Christmas.
Oh, how they'll suffer.
And after they've suffered
long enough
'I'll destroy them all,
one by one.'

Unh-unh-unh.
Not yet, Greedy.
I was just making sure
it was ready, Papa Smurf.
Oh, no, you weren't,
Greedy Smurf.
You were sneaking a bite
for yourself.
And that's very selfish
and unsmurfy because..
Brainy..
...there are 99 other Smurfs
besides yourself..
Brainy..
We all want equal shares
of the great pudding because..
Brainy!
Thank you.
Now, as I was saying, Greedy..
'...the great pudding
isn't complete'
until we add
the final ingredient.
Uh, you mean the last walnut,
Papa Smurf?
That's right. The last walnut.
You mean the big, plump,
ripe delicious one that uh..
You ate!
Sorry, Papa Smurf,
I couldn't resist.
That's alright, Greedy.
I'll borrow another walnut
from Squirrel.

Oh, it does my heart good,
Azrael.

will be no more.

I don't understand
what went wrong, Azrael.
I followed mother's recipe

[Gargamel screaming]

[sobbing]
Hit it smurf, squirrel,
I have it.
I got it, Papa Smurf.
Guess my eyes aren't as good
as they used to be.
Thank you, squirrel,
and happy holiday to you.
(Gargamel)
'Oh, Azrael, to think Christmas
is almost upon us'
'and those vile little Smurfs
are out there'
'singing, dancing and laughing.'
It's enough to make me
throw up.
If I can only get my hands
on their rotten blue hides, I..
[knocking on door]
'Now what? Hello?'
Who are you?
Please come, sir.
Our sleigh overturned and our
grandfather won't open his eyes.
Will you help us?
[stammering]
Do you have any money?
- No.
- Then go away! I'm busy.
Oh-ho, he's mean.
Yes, he is. Come, William, we'll
find someone else to help us.
(male #2)
'My niece and nephew
should've been here hours ago.'
'Never should've allowed them'
to make the trip
with their grandfather.
- Organize a search party.
- Yes, sir.

(William)
'You think grandfather's
gone to Heaven, Guinevere?'
He'll be alright, William.
Just hope someone will help us.
[growling]
The nerve of those
little brats, Azrael.
Interrupting me and my work.
Now, let's see, where was I?
'Ah, yes.
Two drops of bat spit.'
No, no, no,
this recipe will never do.
The Smurfs, there must be
a way to destroy them.
[door opens]
Who-who are you?
Who I am is not important.
What is important
is that I can give you the power
to destroy the Smurfs.
And what in exchange?
I want the two children
who are lost in the forest.
[stammering]
May I ask why?
Revenge, a simple revenge.
The children's uncle,
the good bailiff
by the very nature
of his goodness
constantly meddles
in my affairs.
'He's stopped me
from doing my evil deeds'
time and time again.
Now I will make him suffer
by kidnapping the children.
'Of course, I would've
picked them up myself'
but, alas, goodness comes my way
only by betrayal.
That's where you fit in.
I see.
And the Smurfs?
'This scroll will tell you
how to find the Smurf village'
and what to do
when you get there.
Yes, yes, I'll leave right away.
Children first, Smurfs second.
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
Of course, of course, I..
[Azrael screeching]
Yoo-hoo! Children!
Now where can those
two brats be?
Yoo-hoo, children!
Hello! We're looking
for two lost children.
My niece and nephew.
Have you seen them?
No, no, I haven't.
There's been an accident.
Their grandfather's sleigh
overturned.
He's alright, thank goodness,
but we can't find the children.
Oh, the poor dears.
I shall certainly
keep an eye out, sir.
I'm offering a reward,
ten gold coins
for their safe return.
[stammering]
Ten gold?
Well, that is generous.
But the main thing is that
the dear children are safe.
Oh, I do pray
that they are well.
Well, keep an eye open,
I'm sure we'll find them.
'And a Merry Christmas to you,
my good man.'
Merry Christmas to you all!
Ten gold coins, eh?
Perhaps, Azrael,
there is a way to have it all.
The Smurfs and the gold.
Ha ha ha.
Yoo-hoo! Children!
I'm scared, Guinevere.
Poor grandfather.
He's alright, William.
Everything is going to be
alright.

Shh, listen, Papa Smurf.
- That sounds like ah-ah-ah--

Yes, exactly what I thought,
Papa Smurf.
Now I say we should..

Stop! Stop, I say!
No, no, no!
You must not harm
these children.
They are our friends.
Do you understand?

- I hope so.
Good boy, good boy!
Now, be on your way,
my friends.
Please, our grandfather is hurt
and needs help.
Our sleigh overturned and--
- Where is your grandfather?
- He's with the sleigh.
Hefty, Brainy and Clumsy,
find that sleigh.
[speaking in unison]
Yes, Papa Smurf!
Smurfette,
go back to the village.
I need help with these children.
Yes, Papa Smurf.
Now there, children,
don't you worry.
Are you Santa Claus?
[chuckles]
Santa Claus? Me?
There it is! Come on!
Whoa!
(Clumsy)
'Oh, Hefty.'
See a grandfather anywhere,
Brainy?
Absosmurfly not, Hefty.
But there certainly have been
a lot of humans about.
Well, we might as well head back
and report to Papa Smurf.
Hey! Hefty! Brainy.
Look at this.
What's it say, Hefty?
What it says
is not the point, Clumsy.
What it means
is the real issue here.
Oh, get on with it!
[clears throat]
"Guinevere and William,
grandfather is alright.
"Stay with the sleigh,
I will return.
I love you. Uncle Edgar."
The message is clearly
not meant for us.
'Yet here we are,
three small blue specks'
in a white wilderness.
Hey, wait for me!
The trick, Azrael,
is to turn the children
over to the stranger,
destroy the Smurf village
and then lead the rescue party
to the stranger
and receive the reward.
Oh, it's perfect, Azrael.
A plan made in Heaven.
Yoo-hoo! Children!
Wait till grandfather finds out
we saw Santa Claus.
And all his helpers.
All that delicious
wonderful pudding
and I haven't
even had one little--
Greedy Smurf,
don't be so selfish.
It's holiday time, you're
supposed to give, not receive.
And since you're far away
from home on this Christmas Eve
I would like you to have
this little gift.
Oh, thank you.
That's very nice of you, Santa.
Uh, what's a Santa?
Oh, it's so beautiful.
Thank you.
Papa Smurf! Papa Smurf!
I found the sleigh, Papa Smurf.
There was a note.
'It was from your uncle'
'and he says your grandfather
is alright, and--'
And he wants you both
to stay with the sleigh
because he'll be back.
That is good news.
Oh, Santa, I'm so happy.
I can hardly wait to see grandpa
and my dear, sweet uncle.
Do we get to finish opening
our presents before we leave?
Why, of course, William.
All of it.
I hate presents.
Oh, have a heart, Grouchy.
Have a heart.
[orchestral music]
This is a little song
we sing every holiday.
It's very old.
And very true.
♪ Goodness makes the badness
go away ♪
♪ Goodness makes you happy

♪ Badness cannot start ♪
♪ If there's goodness
in your heart ♪
♪ Goodness makes the badness

Let's hear you sing it,
children.
♪ Goodness makes the badness

That's it. Louder now.
Alright now, Hefty, Brainy,
Smurfette, gather some wood.
You're going to need
a large signal fire.
Gargamel!
[Azrael screeching]
Let me go, let me go!
Oh, please, let us down!
(William)
'Santa, help us, help us!'
Quiet, you brats,
or I'll feed you to my cat.
Come along, Azrael.
'We'll take care of
the Smurfs later.'
Oh, Papa Smurf, what does
that mean ol' Gargamel want
with the children?
I don't know, Smurfette,
but I'm sure he's up to no good.
What do we do, Papa Smurf?
There's only one thing
we can do, Brainy.
Follow them!
(William)
'Please, let us go.'
What will you do with us?
That's my little secret.
Gargamel! The children
are mine now as agreed.
Yes, yes, of course,
of course. As agreed.
Here, here, take them.
Take them.
(Gargamel)
'My word is as good as gold.'
(stranger)
'Yes, I'm sure it is.'
Stranger, something about him.
And now, as agreed
here is the means for destroying
the Smurf village.
[all gasping]
Alright, children,
go with the nice gentleman.
I'm sure he has
a lovely Christmas present
for both of you.
Indeed, I do.
'Now, come along.'
Oh, Papa Smurf,
how can anyone be so mean?
(Gargamel)
'Well, I must be on my way.'
Oh, and a Merry Christmas
to you, children.
What about our village?
It'll have to wait, Vanity.
These two children come first.
[Gargamel laughing]
'I found you at last, Smurfs.'
Come out and meet your doom.
Smurfs? Smurfs?
Smurfs!
They're gone, Azrael!
Oh, but no matter,
they'll be back.
Oh, glorious night,
I'll just start without them.
[laughing wickedly]
"Evil forces, all that's foul.
Witches brew, demon's howl.
"Come destroy
the Smurfs' good cheer.
Let not one survive this year."
(Gargamel)
'Oh, it worked!'
[laughing]
'Oh, they'll be hungry
and homeless. Miserable!'
And now, to collect
my ten pieces of gold.
'Merry Christmas, Smurfs!'
They can't be far ahead,
Papa Smurf.
Well, let's keep our distance
until we know what he's up to.
Hello! I found the children!
A stranger, wearing a cape, was
spiriting the poor little dears
'off through the forest.'
Oh, no!
I tried to rescue them.
Oh, how I tried.
And I nearly lost my life
to that mad man's anger.
Which way did the scoundrel go?
That way, across the ice
and through those trees.
- Let's go, men!
- 'Wait!'
What about my reward?
My ten pieces of gold.
You shall have it
when we find the children.
Oh, this is disappointing,
quite!
[Azrael screeching]
A contract is a contract.
And you have broken ours.
Me? Oh, no, no, no, no.
You misunderstood.
You see, I was on--
'Silence!'
Now, you'll come with me.
[stammering]
Well, I'd like to, but I have
other business to attend to.
[hissing]
Oh, yes, yes.
Yes, I'll go. I'll go.
Anything you say, anything.
Just call them off.
Please!
After you, Gargamel.
Oh, yes. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Look, Papa Smurf, Gargamel
and Azrael have joined them.
Oh, poor William!
Poor Guinevere.
Perhaps even poor Gargamel.
[Smurfs in unison]
Poor Gargamel?
(William)
I can't walk anymore, mister.
Where are you taking us?
This place will do nicely.
Eh, then you won't be
needing me, so I'll just--
'On the contrary,
someone as nasty as you'
is always of use to me
in my work.
[stammering]
Bu-bu-bu-but--
Therefore, you'll accompany me
and the children
on what I regard as
the final journey.
You said no more walking.
We won't be walking,
my dear child.
Where are you taking us?
Home, my home.
I'm quite sure you'll like it.
No, no, I won't go!
No one leaves
until after the ceremony.
(Guinevere)
Please, you're scaring me.
Fire, fire burning bright
take us home this very night.
Oh, stop, please stop!
Stop it, please! I'll be good,
I promise, I'll be good!
Oh, smurf is us,
we're too late!
Yes, too late!
- Perhaps not.
- Yeah, perhaps not.
But, Papa Smurf,
what can we possibly do
against his evil power?
There is one greater power.
The power of love.
You must sing,
my little Smurfs.
[Smurfs in unison]
Sing?
Yes, sing as you've never
sung before.
Believe as you've never
believed before.

'William! Guinevere! Hello!'
Grandfather! Uncle!
Thank goodness you're alright.
Oh my darling, my darling.
We were so worried.
Safe and sound,
I made certain of that.
Now about that reward.
- Don't give him anything.
- Oh?
He was mean to us.
Was he now?
[stammering]
Nonsense.
I was only trying to teach them
the ways of the forest.
You know how children are.
Wait, don't hurt him, please.
It's Christmas Eve,
time for forgiving.
- Even him?
- Even him.
Yes, well. A time for forgiving,
I quite agree.
Well, I must be going.
I tell you, Azrael, there
is no justice in this world.
None at all.
None at all.
Santa Claus saved us.
Santa Claus?
Yes, and all his helpers.
Oh, you'll never believe
what happened.

'Santa Claus? Well, my, my.'
Goodbye, Mr. Santa.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you all!
And thank you!
(Papa Smurf)
'Well, it's not much of
a holiday, eh, little Smurfs?'
'No presents, no pudding,
no tree...not even warm beds.'
But we still have the most
important thing.
Each other.
[Smurfs in unison]
Yeah! Right!
My words exactly, Papa Smurf.
I hate this,
but I still feel good.
Hey, any Smurf wanna
hear my solo?
- 'Sure.'
- 'Hit it!'
Oh, how beautiful!
Oh, gosh, Papa Smurf.
What happened?
I'm not quite sure.
'Maybe anything can happen.'
'Even miracles.'

from doing my evil deeds'
time and time again.
Now I will make him suffer
by kidnapping the children.
'Of course, I would've
picked them up myself'
but, alas, goodness comes my way
only by betrayal.
That's where you fit in.
I see.
And the Smurfs?
'This scroll will tell you
how to find the Smurf village'
and what to do
when you get there.
Yes, yes, I'll leave right away.
Children first, Smurfs second.
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
Of course, of course, I..
[Azrael screeching]
Yoo-hoo! Children!
Now where can those
two brats be?
Yoo-hoo, children!
Hello! We're looking
for two lost children.
My niece and nephew.
Have you seen them?
No, no, I haven't.
There's been an accident.
Their grandfather's sleigh
overturned.
He's alright, thank goodness,
but we can't find the children.
Oh, the poor dears.
I shall certainly
keep an eye out, sir.
I'm offering a reward,
ten gold coins
for their safe return.
[stammering]
Ten gold?
Well, that is generous.
But the main thing is that
the dear children are safe.
Oh, I do pray
that they are well.
Well, keep an eye open,
I'm sure we'll find them.
'And a Merry Christmas to you,
my good man.'
Merry Christmas to you all!
Ten gold coins, eh?
Perhaps, Azrael,
there is a way to have it all.
The Smurfs and the gold.
Ha ha ha.
Yoo-hoo! Children!
I'm scared, Guinevere.
Poor grandfather.
He's alright, William.
Everything is going to be
alright.

Good boy, good boy!
Now, be on your way,
my friends.
Please, our grandfather is hurt
and needs help.
Our sleigh overturned and--
- Where is your grandfather?
- He's with the sleigh.
Hefty, Brainy and Clumsy,
find that sleigh.
[speaking in unison]
Yes, Papa Smurf!
Smurfette,
go back to the village.
I need help with these children.
Yes, Papa Smurf.
Now there, children,
don't you worry.
Are you Santa Claus?
[chuckles]
Santa Claus? Me?
There it is! Come on!
Whoa!
(Clumsy)
'Oh, Hefty.'
See a grandfather anywhere,
Brainy?
Absosmurfly not, Hefty.
But there certainly have been
a lot of humans about.
Well, we might as well head back
and report to Papa Smurf.
Hey! Hefty! Brainy.
Look at this.
What's it say, Hefty?
What it says
is not the point, Clumsy.
What it means
is the real issue here.
Oh, get on with it!
[clears throat]
"Guinevere and William,
grandfather is alright.
"Stay with the sleigh,
I will return.
I love you. Uncle Edgar."
The message is clearly
not meant for us.
'Yet here we are,
three small blue specks'
in a white wilderness.
Hey, wait for me!
The trick, Azrael,
is to turn the children
over to the stranger,
destroy the Smurf village
and then lead the rescue party
to the stranger
and receive the reward.
Oh, it's perfect, Azrael.
A plan made in Heaven.
Yoo-hoo! Children!
Wait till grandfather finds out
we saw Santa Claus.
And all his helpers.
All that delicious
wonderful pudding
and I haven't
even had one little--
Greedy Smurf,
don't be so selfish.
It's holiday time, you're
supposed to give, not receive.
And since you're far away
from home on this Christmas Eve
I would like you to have
this little gift.
Oh, thank you.
That's very nice of you, Santa.
Uh, what's a Santa?
Oh, it's so beautiful.
Thank you.
Papa Smurf! Papa Smurf!
I found the sleigh, Papa Smurf.
There was a note.
'It was from your uncle'
'and he says your grandfather
is alright, and--'
And he wants you both
to stay with the sleigh
because he'll be back.
That is good news.
Oh, Santa, I'm so happy.
I can hardly wait to see grandpa
and my dear, sweet uncle.
Do we get to finish opening
our presents before we leave?
Why, of course, William.
All of it.
I hate presents.
Oh, have a heart, Grouchy.
Have a heart.
[orchestral music]
This is a little song
we sing every holiday.
It's very old.
And very true.

Alright now, Hefty, Brainy,
Smurfette, gather some wood.
You're going to need
a large signal fire.
Gargamel!
[Azrael screeching]
Let me go, let me go!
Oh, please, let us down!
(William)
'Santa, help us, help us!'
Quiet, you brats,
or I'll feed you to my cat.
Come along, Azrael.
'We'll take care of
the Smurfs later.'
Oh, Papa Smurf, what does
that mean ol' Gargamel want
with the children?
I don't know, Smurfette,
but I'm sure he's up to no good.
What do we do, Papa Smurf?
There's only one thing
we can do, Brainy.
Follow them!
(William)
'Please, let us go.'
What will you do with us?
That's my little secret.
Gargamel! The children
are mine now as agreed.
Yes, yes, of course,
of course. As agreed.
Here, here, take them.
Take them.
(Gargamel)
'My word is as good as gold.'
(stranger)
'Yes, I'm sure it is.'
Stranger, something about him.
And now, as agreed
here is the means for destroying
the Smurf village.
[all gasping]
Alright, children,
go with the nice gentleman.
I'm sure he has
a lovely Christmas present
for both of you.
Indeed, I do.
'Now, come along.'
Oh, Papa Smurf,
how can anyone be so mean?
(Gargamel)
'Well, I must be on my way.'
Oh, and a Merry Christmas
to you, children.
What about our village?
It'll have to wait, Vanity.
These two children come first.
[Gargamel laughing]
'I found you at last, Smurfs.'
Come out and meet your doom.
Smurfs? Smurfs?
Smurfs!
They're gone, Azrael!
Oh, but no matter,
they'll be back.
Oh, glorious night,
I'll just start without them.
[laughing wickedly]
"Evil forces, all that's foul.
Witches brew, demon's howl.
"Come destroy
the Smurfs' good cheer.
Let not one survive this year."
(Gargamel)
'Oh, it worked!'
[laughing]
'Oh, they'll be hungry
and homeless. Miserable!'
And now, to collect
my ten pieces of gold.
'Merry Christmas, Smurfs!'
They can't be far ahead,
Papa Smurf.
Well, let's keep our distance
until we know what he's up to.
Hello! I found the children!
A stranger, wearing a cape, was
spiriting the poor little dears
'off through the forest.'
Oh, no!
I tried to rescue them.
Oh, how I tried.
And I nearly lost my life
to that mad man's anger.
Which way did the scoundrel go?
That way, across the ice
and through those trees.
- Let's go, men!
- 'Wait!'
What about my reward?
My ten pieces of gold.
You shall have it
when we find the children.
Oh, this is disappointing,
quite!
[Azrael screeching]
A contract is a contract.
And you have broken ours.
Me? Oh, no, no, no, no.
You misunderstood.
You see, I was on--
'Silence!'
Now, you'll come with me.
[stammering]
Well, I'd like to, but I have
other business to attend to.
[hissing]
Oh, yes, yes.
Yes, I'll go. I'll go.
Anything you say, anything.
Just call them off.
Please!
After you, Gargamel.
Oh, yes. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Look, Papa Smurf, Gargamel
and Azrael have joined them.
Oh, poor William!
Poor Guinevere.
Perhaps even poor Gargamel.
[Smurfs in unison]
Poor Gargamel?
(William)
I can't walk anymore, mister.
Where are you taking us?
This place will do nicely.
Eh, then you won't be
needing me, so I'll just--
'On the contrary,
someone as nasty as you'
is always of use to me
in my work.
[stammering]
Bu-bu-bu-but--
Therefore, you'll accompany me
and the children
on what I regard as
the final journey.
You said no more walking.
We won't be walking,
my dear child.
Where are you taking us?
Home, my home.
I'm quite sure you'll like it.
No, no, I won't go!
No one leaves
until after the ceremony.
(Guinevere)
Please, you're scaring me.
Fire, fire burning bright
take us home this very night.
Oh, stop, please stop!
Stop it, please! I'll be good,
I promise, I'll be good!
Oh, smurf is us,
we're too late!
Yes, too late!
- Perhaps not.
- Yeah, perhaps not.
But, Papa Smurf,
what can we possibly do
against his evil power?
There is one greater power.
The power of love.
You must sing,
my little Smurfs.
[Smurfs in unison]
Sing?
Yes, sing as you've never
sung before.
Believe as you've never
believed before.

(Grandpa)
'William! Guinevere! Hello!'
Grandfather! Uncle!
Thank goodness you're alright.
Oh my darling, my darling.
We were so worried.
Safe and sound,
I made certain of that.
Now about that reward.
- Don't give him anything.
- Oh?
He was mean to us.
Was he now?
[stammering]
Nonsense.
I was only trying to teach them
the ways of the forest.
You know how children are.
Wait, don't hurt him, please.
It's Christmas Eve,
time for forgiving.
- Even him?
- Even him.
Yes, well. A time for forgiving,
I quite agree.
Well, I must be going.
I tell you, Azrael, there
is no justice in this world.
None at all.
None at all.
Santa Claus saved us.
Santa Claus?
Yes, and all his helpers.
Oh, you'll never believe
what happened.
(Uncle Edgar)
'Santa Claus? Well, my, my.'
Goodbye, Mr. Santa.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you all!
And thank you!
(Papa Smurf)
'Well, it's not much of
a holiday, eh, little Smurfs?'
'No presents, no pudding,
no tree...not even warm beds.'
But we still have the most
important thing.
Each other.
[Smurfs in unison]
Yeah! Right!
My words exactly, Papa Smurf.
I hate this,
but I still feel good.
Hey, any Smurf wanna
hear my solo?
- 'Sure.'
- 'Hit it!'
Oh, how beautiful!
Oh, gosh, Papa Smurf.
What happened?
I'm not quite sure.
'Maybe anything can happen.'
'Even miracles.'
