In the comic books, Gargamel has two cousins, Sagratamabarb and Barbapapa , a twin brother named Gourmelin , and three lookalike nephews. A crossover comic with Sophie Karamazout also featured a modern-day descendant, Edgar Gamel, who continues his ancestor's pursuit of the Smurfs. A father is mentioned in the Sony Pictures' live-action film series. As far as his own offspring, Smurfette, Sassette, Vexy, Hackus, and Dufus the giant are considered this, either by Gargamel or by the characters themselves, depending on the media.
Uh oh! Very Smurfy Non-canon warning : This article or section contains non-canonical information that is not considered to be an official part of either the Smurfs Franco-Belgian comic book series or the s Smurfs cartoon show series and should not be considered part of the overall storyline of either. Gargamel appears as the main antagonist in the Smurfs movie. His sole purpose of going after them is to extract Smurf essence from them so he could become the most powerful wizard.
He finds the Smurf Village completely by accident, discovering that there is a magic field that renders it invisible to outsiders, and proceeds to go through the field to chase after them. Gargamel pursues them into the Forbidden Falls where a magic portal opens up to transport the Smurfs years into the future to exit in New York City. Gargamel and his cat Azrael follow them through the portal but end up losing them as the Smurfs follow Patrick Winslow to his apartment in order to rescue Clumsy.
However, Azrael coughs up a bit of Smurfette's hair, which Gargamel then uses by creating a Smurf essence extractor from machines in the Belvedere Castle 's basement to make a drop of that essence which he puts into a ring so he could find the Smurfs. During his first attempt to find the Smurfs, Gargamel comes across Patrick's boss Odile , who is willing to offer the wizard anything in exchange for the power of Smurf essence which she sees used to restore her mother's beauty and youth.
The wizard escapes by having a moth accidentally summon a swarm of flies that lift him up in a cloud over the barbed-wire fence and take him back to Belvedere Castle, where he makes another drop of Smurf essence. This time he tracks the Smurfs down to Mr. Wong's Mystical Emporium , where he finds a dragon wand and, after powering it with Smurf essence, uses it to capture Papa Smurf and hold him prisoner, transforming the Smurf essence extractor into a Smurf exfoliator with the intention of using it to extract Smurf essence from every Smurf.
Gargamel uses the wand in his battle with the Smurfs, but the wand is snagged out of his hands and winds up in Clumsy's, who uses it to blast the evil wizard far away, causing him to land in a pile of garbage bags. By the end of the movie, Gargamel is stuck in the present with his cat Azrael. In the animated feature The Smurfs: A Christmas Carol , Gargamel appears during Grouchy's visit by the three Smurfs of Christmas, apparently having returned from his trip to the present-day world or the story could have taken place before the movie , to capture the Smurfs on Christmas Day when they went out looking for a new tree in order to lift up Grouchy's spirits after the old tree was burned to a crisp because of Clumsy's ineptitude.
Gargamel and his cat Azrael then give chase to Grouchy when he shows up in the evil wizard's laboratory, with Gargamel continually being tripped over in his pursuit. However, it turns out that this was only the future that Grouchy was seeing to show that he has a chance of changing how he feels toward helping his fellow Smurfs on Christmas. Gargamel returns as the main antagonist in The Smurfs 2 , this time as a world-famous magician entertaining crowds with his magic, which is powered by Smurf essence.
He creates the Naughties in order to capture Smurfette so that she would reveal the formula Papa Smurf used to change her into a real Smurf, with the intention that once he changes the Naughties into Smurfs, he would extract Smurf essence from them and thus be able to create a hundred more Smurfs for the same purpose.
However, even though the Naughties were changed into Smurfs, Gargamel's plans for Smurf essence extraction was foiled with the help of Patrick Winslow and Victor Doyle , and the large magic wand that he tried to use against them became too powerful for him to fully control, thus sending him and Azrael back to the time period that they came from -- going back to being broke and poor and back to his old hovel.
In the animated feature The Smurfs: The Legend Of Smurfy Hollow , that is set after the events of the second film, Gargamel appears as the main antagonist who shows up in Smurfy Hollow to collect the Smurfs that his traps have captured -- namely Brainy, Gutsy, and Smurfette -- only to find Smurfette being the only Smurf still left in the trap when he gets there.
He and the Smurfs soon get chased by the Headless Horseman , who pursue them until they reach the old covered bridge. Gargamel, believing himself to be safe inside the bridge, antagonizes the Headless Horseman, who responds by throwing a flaming pumpkin into the bridge, causing Gargamel and his cat to fall into the river and be carried downstream where they go over a waterfall together.
In Smurfs: The Lost Village , Gargamel seeks after the Smurfs in order to extract their Smurf essence to become the most powerful sorcerer. While here he is still the creator of Smurfette, he doesn't regard her as a true Smurf and thus finds her worth only as the one who will help him find and capture Smurfs.
Also besides Azrael, he has a pet vulture named Monty. When Smurfette discovers a Smurf hat dropped by a Smurf-like figure from the other side of the wall, Gargamel takes a strand from it and uses his magical cauldron to ascertain the hat's origin, to discover that it comes from a group of Smurfs located somewhere in the Forbidden Forest.
Although delayed by ending up in the part of the forest where he was attacked by carnivorous "bottom-feeder" fish, Gargamel soon discovers the village of Smurfettes and uses his Freeze Balls to capture them all, including Smurfette's friends from her own village. With the captured Smurfs, Gargamel extracts enough essence to enhance his magical powers and to give himself more head hair in the process. Smurfette arrives to pledge her allegiance to her true master so that he could capture the remaining Smurfs from Smurfette's village.
She hates messes and functions best in neat, well-kept environments such as her own house and has a low, low tolerance for cruelty; she sticks up for the underdog at all times, and doesnt have time for people who put other people down.
There have been many complaints over Smurfette's character. These complaints are mainly related to the fact that she was at one time the only female character in the series. Detractors of the character also state that she portrays women in a demeaning way. She is therefore treated very differently in the village until her change. Another example of Smurfettes receiving different treatment than 'normal Smurfs' occurred when Nanny invited all the Smurfs to a picnic, but they claimed they were "too busy" to go, despite Papa Smurf having previously mentioned that Smurfs do everything for each other.
This shows that the Smurfs had not accepted the Smurfettes as full Smurfs. Before Papa Smurf changed Smurfette to a real Smurf, she had a very bad attitude, and was ignored by many of the Smurfs. After her transformation, she is seen as much nicer and more accepted. This may imply that beautiful, blonde women are nicer people and more likely to be accepted as full members of society.
To help her be respected among Smurfs, Papa Smurf leaves the village for a trip and gives Smurfette his authority in the meantime. There have been several instances where Smurfette has been referred to as "the Smurfette", more so in earlier episodes closer to her appearance. This could be interpreted as an instance of objectification of women, though it may simply refer to Smurfette being her classification meaning 'female Smurf' as well as her name.
While this is a mere assumption on some parts, people have now referred to a situation where there is only one main female in a whole cast or species of males as " the Smurfette Principle ". Smurfette has at various points been the main love interest for many of the Smurfs, excluding the Smurflings , Grandpa and Nanny. She is closest to Papa , who she greatly admires and assists whenever she can, and Vanity who is her best friend and, occasionally, a friendly rival.
It can be assumed that she is good friends with Laconia ; though Laconia did not have much screentime, she entrusted the planning and details of her entire wedding to Smurfette, and the two otherwise seem to have a very close relationship. Smurfette has also been seen to get along with female human characters, like Andria , Brenda and Princess Savina among others. Smurfette is also friends with Blue Eyes , a small golden flying horse who lives beyond the clouds.

The Smurfs. In the Smurfs movie , Smurfette is one of the few Smurfs that travel through time to modern-day New York City through the portal that opened during the blue moon in the Smurf forest. Her origin in the movie is based on the cartoon show version of "The Smurfette" in her explanation to Grace Winslow. The movie makes a notable change in Smurfette's personality in that she seems to be able to defend herself, being a skilled Hand-to-Hand combatant, and even actively confronts Azrael by herself in order to rescue Papa Smurf , whereas the cartoon show normally depicts her as a damsel in distress who needs constant rescuing by her fellow Smurfs.
During her stay in the modern-day world, she befriends Patrick Winslow 's wife Grace , and finds herself enamored by the various types of doll-sized dresses she could wear when she helps the other Smurfs find a "stargazer" in the FAO Schwarz toy store. In promotional shots where Smurfette is seen from behind, she noticeably doesn't have a tail appear from outside her dress, which seems to be emphasizing her origin as a Smurf created by Gargamel, though it could be that she is showing a ladylike aversion to having a tail appear outside of her clothing.
On the other hand, it could simply be an error on the part of the character model developers, as Smurfette in most of her cartoon appearances has her tail hidden behind her long blond hair. For those arguing over whether Smurfette has a tail or not, the cartoon show episode " The Purple Smurfs " has Smurfette also turned into a Purple Smurf through the same mode of transmission as any other Smurf.
For the most part of the franchise, Smurfette's tail is shapely covered by her undergarments as a viewer can watch for a very brief moment in the opening titles of the cartoon series. The Smurfs: A Christmas Carol. In the animated feature The Smurfs: A Christmas Carol , Smurfette appears as the Smurf of Christmas Past, who shows Grouchy Smurf how happy he used to be when it came to Christmas, in the hopes that he would be able to regain the Christmas part he had lost when his hopes of getting a hang glider for Christmas were dashed by the fact that the only present he ever got every year was a Smurf hat.
The Smurfs 2. In The Smurfs 2 , it is revealed that Smurfette was originally grey with black hair before she was changed into a Smurf. During the events of the movie, Smurfette was encouraged by her captors, the Naughties , to give their master the secret formula that would turn Naughties into Smurfs, though she ultimately was forced to do so when Gargamel refused to feed them with Smurf essence. Also in the movie, Smurfette's hair became shorter because Gargamel cut off the bottom parts of it to make Smurf essence to use for his magic show.
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. So what's the one adjective or activity that sums up the blonde-haired lady Smurf? Various Smurfs offer ideas, but nothing works out. Over the course of the film that follows, the question of what easy label to stick onto Smurfette slowly turns into a larger problem: Is she even a real Smurf?
She was created by Gargamel, the wizard who wants to capture the Smurfs and drain their magic juices, after all.
