Papa eventually used Smurf magic to make her not-evil, and also blonde. In the two critically panned live-action films, Smurfette was a hero—rescuing Papa Smurf in one, redeeming two new evil Smurfs in the other—but she never escaped the most fiendish trap of all: tokenism. Now, at last, there's a Smurfs film that tackles the Smurfette dilemma head on—and actually solves it. Smurfs: The Lost Village , out today, is entirely computer-animated, and feels a bit more like the Smurfs comics and cartoons from back in the day.
If you go by its synopsis, the movie is about a previously unknown village of Smurfs hidden in a forbidden forest—but really, it's about Smurfette, and who exactly she is.
The movie begins by pointing out the obvious: She's not intrinsically "clumsy" or "hefty" or good at baking, the way her single-attribute brothers are.
All of a sudden the Smurfs all started to adore her, even Grouchy Smurf. Eventually the Smurfs found out that Smurfette had been sent by their arch-enemy Gargamel, after which she was labelled a spy. With all the unrest she was causing by being there, Smurfette decided to leave the Smurf village. During the first fifteen albums Smurfette still lives in an unknown location somewhere outside the Smurf village, but her visits grow more and more frequent and she ends up in her very own pink mushroom house, complete with flower garden and lots of washing line to hang up Baby Smurf's nappies, whose she decided to look after.
She is currently still single That's his name, Gutsy. He's always sort of leading the charge. Interestingly, a silver-screen Smurfs sequel is already in the works--and it will focus on Smurfette's origin story and her relationship with Gargamel, say Gosnell and executive producer Veronique Culliford, Peyo's daughter.
Culliford adds that they're currently working on a three-picture Smurfs deal with Sony Pictures Studios. And a new female Smurf isn't out of the question, says Culliford, who, incidentally, was the original inspiration for Smurfette. The new characters, they're here, but they can go out, or they can stay in the story--it depends on the success that they have. We want to hear what you think about this article.

She was sent to the village where she was found by Hefty Smurf, the strongest of the Smurfs and was recognized by his tattoo. Despite her appearance, he took her to the Smurf village and treated her with kindness. She was a troublemaker but when she almost flooded the village she felt guilty and confessed she was created by Gargamel.
Papa Smurf then used his magic to make her a real Smurf in the comics, he used plastic surgery. Smurfette's appearance changed into an undeniably beautiful Smurf with long blonde hair and a small nose in the image. She became good-hearted, friendly, cleanly, helpful, and made almost all the Smurfs fall in love with her.
She is nice with all the Smurfs.
