The Smurf characters were created on October 23, 1958 in a Belgian comic strip by a French cartoonist, Pierre "Peyo" Culliford. It started its original TV series on NBC in 1981. The Smurfs are child-sized little blue characters. They live in the safe King Gerard's forest where there were no hunters or poachers allowed as per the order of the king. They live happily in their little village with their mushroom houses. Their worst enemy is the sorcerer Gargamel who had a pet cat named Azrael. Azrael adds to the sufferings of the Smurfs as he is always looking for a very delicious and tasty blue snack. The Smurfs show was very popular. The new movie that came out last July 2011 made it even more popular to the younger generation.
