The Smurfs Springtime Special (1982) - full transcript

The evil wizard Gargamel, who hates Spring because it makes the Smurfs happy and he hates happiness, devises a scheme to put Mother Nature to sleep, stop the arrival of spring, and freeze the Smurfs out of their village.

Someone needs to stop Clearway Law.
Public shouldn't leave reviews for lawyers.

[CHIRPING]

[SMURFS HUMMING]

BRAINY: Don't forget that patch
over there, Smurfs.

Papa Smurf says
to leave no snow unturned.

And that one, and that one,
and that one, and that one...

...and that one, and that one,
and that one--

And--

Cheer up, Brainy.
Here's a surprise.

[JOKEY LAUGHS]

Thanks.



Papa Smurf!

That's it,
my little Smurfs.

Get everything Smurf-shape
for our Easter festival.

[SMURFS HUMMING]

Yoo-hoo! Papa Smurf, how do you
like our Easter costumes?

Aren't they cute?

-Hm. They're very cute.
-I hate cute.

Ah, spring,
my favorite time of year.

Oh, spring. I absolutely loathe
this time of year.

Don't you, Azrael?

[MEOWING]

With its glaring sunshine...

...its stinking flowers...

[GROWLING]



...and revolting
little forest pests.

Shoo! Scat! Go away.

But worst of all...

...spring is when those vile
little Smurfs are happiest.

All these years of their
singing, dancing and laughing.

Stop it. Stop all that
happiness, do you hear?

That's an order from me,
Gargamel!

If only I could capture
their miserable, blue hides.

But how? For years, I've tried
every evil trick I know...

...and still they escape me.

Oh, alas,
I have no choice...

...but to seek advice
from Balthazar.

Balthazar.

The very thought of visiting him
fills me with dread.

But it's the only way.
The only way.

Smurfs, enjoy your disgusting
happiness while you can!

We'll see
who has the last laugh.

[GARGAMEL & AZRAEL LAUGH]

[SINGING]Looking for Easter eggs

[GRUNTING]

No, no, no, Clumsy.
You don't find eggs under rocks.

-Oh, you don't?
-Of course not.

Oh.

[ROOSTER CROWING & DOG BARKING]

This is where
we'll find our Easter eggs.

Oh, boy. Here, egg.
Here, egg. Egg-y, Egg-y.

[GROWLING & BARKING]

You never learn, do you?
Let me handle this.

[BRAINY & CLUMSY CLUCKING]

-Uh-oh. Brainy, your feath--
-Shh. Don't talk, listen.

That's how you'll learn.

-But, Brainy, your--
-Trust me, Clumsy.

Why, there isn't a canine alive
I can't outsmart.

[DOG BARKING & ROOSTER CLUCKING]

Now what do we do,
Brainy?

Hold me.
Let's get out of here.

[BOTH PANTING]

I think
we lost them.

Right. Along with
our Easter eggs.

-What will we tell Papa Smurf?
-Oh, Brainy.

-Not now, Clumsy, I'm thinking.
-But, Brainy.

Shh. Eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs.
Oh, oh, an idea is forming.

A hazy but undoubtedly
brilliant idea that will--

-What's wrong with this egg?
-This egg?

[BRAINY LAUGHS]

This egg. Yes.

Well, that was my idea
all along. Yes, all along.

Oh, really?

Well, guess that's why
you're the brains of the outfit.

[STUTTERING]
I don't like visiting Balthazar
any more than you do, Azrael.

But we must be brave.

[SCREAMS]

Remember, Azrael,
be brave.

[GASPS]

[SCREAMS]

Phew.

Balthazar!

Balthazar.

Balthazar!

Balthazar-- Ah!

Balthazar, it's me, Gargamel.
Your only godson.

I know. That's why
I went easy on you.

-Now state your business.
-Oh, yes.

Well, I-- I want to know how--

How to catch Smurfs.

Smurfs? Smurfs?

[LAUGHING]

Smurfs are nothing
but a myth.

The only place you'll find
Smurfs is in this book.

It's full of fairy tales
about goblins...

...and leprechauns
and Smurfs.

It even has a formula
for turning lead into gold...

...by boiling six Smurfs.

Turning lead into gold
by boiling six Smurfs?

[CHUCKLES]

Oh, of course,
that is absurd.

And here is a scheme
for catching Smurfs...

...by tricking Mother Nature...

...into freezing them
out of their village.

Oh!

Mother Nature.
Smurfs. Madness.

All superstious madness.

Oh, yes. Of course.
You're absolutely right.

I'm always right.

Now be off. I've seen
enough of you for one day.

Oh, yes. Yeah, of course.

Goodbye, godfather.

[DOOR SLAMS]

[GARGAMEL LAUGHING]

And now, I'll not only catch
those vile little Smurfs...

...but turn them
into gold as well.

[SINGING]Oh, I'll fry a few,pickle a few

And serve a few real cold

Then I'll toast a fewand roast a few

And boil six Smurfsfor gold, hey

-Clumsy.
-What did I do?

-Hey!
-Oh, gosh, what's going on?

Oh, my goodness.
It's hatching.

BRAINY: Hatching?
CLUMSY: Hatching?

Oh, isn't he just precious?

[DUCK QUACKING]

Not bad for a duck.

[QUACKING]

Oh, poor little ducky.

What a terrible way
to start your very first day.

[PAPA CHUCKLES]

I believe he thinks
you're his mother, Smurfette.

His mother? But I--

[QUACKING]

Yoo-hoo! Mother Nature,
where are you?

Yoo-hoo! Mother Nature.

[SQUIRREL SCREECHING
& OWL HOOTING]

MOTHER NATURE:
Oh, me, oh, my, oh my.

Every year it's harder to shake
the winter chill...

...out of these old bones.

Wake up, children,
spring is here.

That's better.

Why, Owl.
What's all the excitement?

[OWL HOOTING]

A visitor, you say?

Oh, why, I haven't had
a visitor in centuries.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Coming. Coming.

Yes?

Oh, Mother Nature, I have
traveled many, many miles...

...to bring you this humble
token of my undying devotion.

Oh, how nice.

But these don't look like mine.

Yeah, but they're almost
as sweet.

Smell them.

[MOTHER NATURE SNIFFING]

Oh! What are you doing?

[GROANING]

Oh, my, I don't feel so well.

There, there, Mother Nature.
You're under my power now.

Oh, no, you'll upset
the balance of things.

I haven't finished changing
the seasons yet.

Pleasant dreams,
Mother Nature.

[THUNDER CRACKING]

Azrael, we've done it.
We've nipped spring in the bud.

Soon, Papa Smurf will come
around to see what's wrong.

And then...

...I'll be here waiting.

[GARGAMEL & AZRAEL LAUGHING]

[HUMMING]

[HUMMING]

Hm. Strange. It almost
feels like winter again.

Yow!

Great balls of smurf. Something
is very wrong with the weather.

I must call
an emergency meeting.

[HORN TOOTING]

PA:
And, this, my little Smurfs...

...is the worst blizzard I have
seen in all my 543 years.

[ALL GASP]

We must take action immediately.

I hate taking action.

-Handy.
-Right here, Papa Smurf.

I want a ladder
tall enough to reach...

...the lower branches
of the Great Oak.

Hefty, Clumsy, Brainy and
Vanity, smurf him a hand.

ALL:
Yes, Papa Smurf.

Jokey, Grouchy, Smurfette,
Tailor and Farmer...

...go to the storehouse and
gather what little food is left.

ALL:
Yes, Papa Smurf.

Something tells me
we're in for a long winter.

-Up we go.
-Easy does it.

-Watch your smurf.
-Look lively, Smurfs.

Keep them coming.
That's a smurf.

HANDY:
Heave. Heave. Heave.

We did it.

ALL:
Yay!

Oh, Papa Smurf,
our village is nearly buried.

And our food is nearly gone.

And if this storm continues,
we'll all be gone.

What can we do, Papa Smurf?

There is only one
who can set things right again.

I must visit
Mother Nature.

Strange. This morning it was
spring, and now it's freezing.

Something is wrong,
very wrong.

My book is gone.

That thieving Gargamel!

But why would he steal
a worthless book of fairy tales?

Unless they're not fairy tales.

Hello? Mother Nature?
Mother Nature.

Hello?

Gargamel.

[GARGAMEL LAUGHS]

How right you are,
Papa Smurf.

How right you are.

[GARGAMEL LAUGHING]

Azrael, get him.
Get him.

[GROWLING]

Azrael, don't let him escape.

[LAUGHING]

Soon, my vile little Smurfs,
I will turn you into gold...

...and become the richest, most
powerful wizard in the world.

And you and your Papa Smurf
will be no more.

[GARGAMEL LAUGHING]

[GROWLING]

[AZRAEL SCREAMING]

[GROWLING]

[AZRAEL HISSING]

[SNORTING]

Azrael, let me introduce
a friend of mine.

[SCREAMING]

Thank you, my friend.

Now I must return
to the village fast.

GARGAMEL:
Azrael.

Azrael.

Oh, I can't wait
for that fool cat.

I have six Smurfs to boil.

And then I'll have gold and be
rich. Filthy, filthy rich.

[LAUGHS]

[SINGING]Oh, I'll fry a few,pickle a few

And serve a few real cold

Then I'll toast a fewand roast a few

And boil six Smurfsfor gold, hey

PA:
Smurfs! Smurfs! Smurfs!

Gargamel has kidnapped
Mother Nature.

ALL:
Mother Nature?

And six Smurfs.

ALL:
Six Smurfs?

And unless
we free Mother Nature...

...the whole forest
will remain frozen forever.

-What are we waiting for?
-Come on. Let's go.

ALL:
Yeah!

That mean old Gargamel.

[QUACKING]

No, Ducky,
you stay.

[QUACKING]

No, Ducky, stay.

This will be too dangerous.

No, you stay.

[SNIFFLING]

[GARGAMEL SNORING]

Shh.

[GARGAMEL SNORING]

Smurf.

Harmony, Handy, Greedy,
the door handle.

ALL:
Right, Papa Smurf.

GARGAMEL [MUMBLING]:
Boil Smurfs.

Oh, gold. Lots of gold.
Rich. Rich.

-Oh, filthy rich.
-Shh.

-Vanity, guard the door.
-Yes, Papa Smurf.

[GROWLING]

Oh, hey, it's Papa Sm--

[GARGAMEL MUMBLING]

Alright, now, hang on.
We'll smurf you out in a minute.

[SNIFFING]

[ALL GASP]

Oh, the handsome Smurf warrior
guards his post.

Look at these steely eyes.
That firm jaw.

Those stunning whiskers.

Whiskers? Azrael!

[GROWLING]

[GARGAMEL SNORING]

Wake up, Mother Nature.
Wake up.

Oh, Smurfs.

[GROWLING]

[MUMBLING]

Quickly, Smurfs.
Quickly.

[SCREAMS]

[GROWLS]

GREEDY: Look out!
HEFTY: Gangway!

BRAINY:
Help!

I hate Azrael.

Hefty, Vanity, the closet.

HEFTY: Right, Papa Smurf.
VANITY: Right, Papa Smurf.

PA:
Now!

[MUMBLING & YAWNING]

Good work, Smurfs.
Now, get out while you can.

Hurry. It's too dangerous here.

Wait outside with the others
while I revive Mother Nature.

But, Papa Smurf,
we can't leave you here.

Smurfette, that's an order.

Yes, Papa Smurf.

Oh, poor Papa...

...I hope he'll be alright.
if Gargamel ever wakes up....

If this doesn't wake up
Mother Nature, nothing will.

[QUACKING]

Ducky, what are you doing here?

[GIGGLES]

HEFTY:
Look.

-Someone's coming.
-Another human.

SMURFETTE: No. It can only mean
terrible trouble for Papa Smurf.

It's ready.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

BALTHAZAR: Open up, Gargamel!
I know you're in there!

-Gargamel!
-What is--? Where's--?

What is--? What is--?

[CRASH]

Where is my book?
I know you stole it.

And what of the Smurfs?
Are they real?

Tell me! Tell me!

Smurfs? Real?
Oh, of course not.

They're gone.
My Smurfs are gone.

Gone. Gone. Gone.

-A Smurf. They are real.
-Papa Smurf.

Sorry, Gargamel,
but I have to run.

Stop! Halt!

Gargamel, you're
a blithering idiot...

...and a disgrace
to the family.

Now, out of my way.

[SMURFS CHEERING]

Run, Papa Smurf!

-Run!
VANITY: Hurry!

All I need
to make gold is six Smurfs.

And it doesn't matter
if they're alive or dead.

Watch closely, Gargamel.

This is the magic wand
of the future.

It has the power
to change the world.

[PANTING]

Oh, Papa Smurf.

Papa. Papa!

[QUACKING]

Ducky.

[GUNSHOT]

[DUCK SCREAMING]

Papa Smurf! Papa Smurf!

-Are you alright?
-I'm fine. Fine.

But poor duckling
wasn't so lucky.

Oh. Oh, no.

[CRYING]

Godfather,
that's amazing.

-That's--
-Silence.

Hear me, Smurfs,
and hear me well.

I am Balthazar,
master wizard.

Surrender six of your own to me,
or you will all pay dearly.

That's right.
You'll pay dearly.

[GARGAMEL LAUGHS NERVOUSLY]

I, well, I--

Here's our answer,
Balthazar.

Yeah.
And here's mine.

[HORN TOOTING]

[ANIMALS GROWLING]

[EAGLE SCREECHING]

[WOLVES GROWLING]

Oh, no, no.
Keep away from me.

[BALTHAZAR SCREAMING]

[YAWNING]

Oh. Oh, me, oh my.
Where am I?

Mother Nature,
this is the house of Gargamel.

He put you under a sleeping
spell to hold back spring.

Hold back spring?

Oh, yes, yes. I remember now.
He had black roses.

Shame on you, Gargamel.

You've thrown everything
out of balance...

...just for your own
selfish reasons.

Wait. Hey, what are you doing?
Let me go.

You can't get away with this,
you old--

[GARGAMEL MUMBLING]

MOTHER NATURE:
There, it's done.

Spring has returned.

[ALL CHEERING]

Mother Nature, can you do
something for Ducky?

Oh, the poor dear.
Well, let me see.

There, there, Ducky.

Oh. He'll be alright now,
Smurfette.

Oh, Ducky.

PA: Now, that really is
something to cheer about.

[SMURFS CHEERING]

[UP-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYING]

[QUACKING]

Papa Smurf, this has been
a wonderful Easter.

Thank you
for everything.

We were glad to be of help,
Mother Nature.

You're just lucky...

...I'm not a few thousand
years younger, Papa Smurf.

[LAUGHS]

And a lot shorter.

[GIGGLES]

JOKEY: Yoo-hoo! Mother Nature,
it's for you, Mother Nature.

[LAUGHS]

It's a surprise.

[ALL GASP]

Jokey, no!

Why, thank you, Jokey.

Oh, they're beautiful.

[ALL SIGH]

Goodbye. Happy Easter.

ALL:
Happy Easter, Mother Nature.

[QUACKING]

I hate happy endings.

[BOTH LAUGHING]
