These details sounded a lot like “The Smurfs,” the dreadful 2011 movie that marked the last time the Smurfs were at your local bijou. In that film, Katy Perry played Smurfette and Jonathan Winters was cast as Papa Smurf. Their real world adventure placed them in the Smurfiest place in America, New York City.

ScreenRant interviews Smurfs director Chris Miller about Rihanna’s involvement in the sequel as a producer and star of the rebooted franchise.

Rihanna says she’s hoping to score some “cool points” with her kids after voicing Smurfette in the new “Smurfs” movie.

The latest attempt to jumpstart the iconic Smurfs franchise back to boxoffice life, Smurfs, will be perfectly acceptable fodder to keep the kiddies amused, and because of its original 80’s Saturday Morning cartoon series just might provide enough nostalgia to make it bearable for their parents.

Rihanna is thrilled that Smurfs is "finally being birthed". The 37-year-old star voices the part of Smurfette in the new animated movie, and Rihanna is delighted that her kids can now finally enjoy the movie.

On May 16, Rihanna released the song "Friend of Mine" as part of the upcoming Smurfs movie soundtrack. The synth-heavy song features lyrics about friendship and a music video filled with psychedelic graphics, bright colors and dancing Smurfs, including Rihanna as Smurfette.

Smurfs' features corny jokes and childish humor, which is exactly what is going to ensure it is a hit with children, although parents might struggle.

The filmmaker is responsible for bringing the blue crew back to the big screen for another adventure with a star-studded cast, including John Goodman as Papa Smurf alongside James Corden, Nick Offerman, Natasha Lyonne, Dan Levy, Sandra Oh and Hannah Waddingham.

A pregnant Rihanna hit the red carpet for the first time with both sons, introducing RZA & Riot to Papa Smurf at the L.A. 'Smurfs' movie premiere.

Billie Lourd's kids will "freak out" about her Smurfs role. The 32-year-old actress stars in the new animated movie alongside the likes of Rihanna, James Corden, Sandra Oh, Jimmy Kimmel, Octavia Spencer,
