Where did Smurfs come from? - VIDEO

Papa SmurfEver wonder where The Smurfs came from? Was Papa Smurf the progenitor of all smurfness? Would Smurfette forever be the only the female sent by Gargamel to cause jealousy and unrest in the otherwise male community?

I certainly have. I love those little forest imps (only three apples tall) and their awesome smurfin' singing. I can hear it now. LA LA La la la laaa... And now you probably will have it in your head for the rest of the day. Sorry about that.

If you want to learn more about The Smurfs, check out the video after the jump. It explains how Peyo, the Belgian cartoonist, discovered the word that made him a legend and other smurfin' good facts.

French being my first language, I prefer the original word: Schtroumpf.

I don't know why they decided to go with Smurf as the english translation: is Schtroumpf really impossible to pronounce for people from english speaking countries?

Umm...it's missing some vowels and simplicity.

That's my way of saying yes.
