WOW Dominique, this is all great information. Thank You firstly for sharing all this info with us and also a big Thanks for the translation and the pic and links.
I have just translated the Focus article and it made a very interesting read. What really made it interesting though is that it seems to confirm that the Smurf Movie WILL be released this year. There have been so many rumours flying around lately, some even saying the movie had been scrapped completely so to hear it coming from IMPS is definitely a positive sign.
Revolution in Schlumpfhausen
The Schluempfe celebrates their 50. Birthday. Punctually to the anniversary a social paging is approaching for them: They get female increase.
Of FOCUS on-line authoress Daniela Schroeder
For many decades the Schluempfe celebrated its rushing parties with only a female nature, lay everything only the one to feet. But also the most brought in man municipality does not outlast an eternity. Schlumpfine are placed for the first time in this year equal Geschlechtsgenossinen against the side.
More girls after Schlumpfhausen
"Soziokulturelle changes" would stand for the mushroom house village in a new film version before, announced Hendrik Coysman, boss of the production company MPS, for the prelude of the Schlumpf Jubilaeumsjahres in Brussels. Since girls came in the past years ever more strongly to power, soon also more women in Schlumpfhausen would live and from it completely new situations would result.
So far the life of the 100-Mann-Truppe went approximately around the wise dad Schlumpf a cosy course. In the kitchen the Kochschlumpf, Fanny prevails worries about the vegetable fields, mobile phone repairs holes in the mushroom houses, of one sews caps and trousers, all together holds the large dam in shot. However the baluen gnomes put most time into their hobbies and into large celebrations. The archaische idyl is disturbed only by the attacks of the Schlumpf racing Zauberers Gargamel and by quarrels around the affection of the straw-blond however bosom-free Schlumpfine.
Three-dimensional motion picture film
At the script for the new film at present, so Coysman is filed eager. In the course of this yearly he is to come into the cinemas. Beside new women the Schluempfe will get also outlines and three-dimensional over the canvas boots. By their flat predecessors in "the Schluempfe and the magic flute" the today's figures thereby are mile far distant. In Germany the strip gave the break-through to the Belgian dwarves from the year 1975; a whole generation was its pocket money into enormous amounts of Schlumpf Nippes.
For the first time the Schluempfe had emerged in this country 1969 in a fixed and a Foxi volume of the Kauka publishing house - its adventures appeared later with Carlsen and Bastei. 1978 were their superyear: "the song of the Schluempfe" of Pierre Kartner alias Vader Abraham stood for months in the German Charts. Also in Belgium, Holland, France and England the appropriate language versions of the question answer singing cleared enormously.
Schlumpflied as Hip Hop Staendchen
A bear tiger dutchman becomes the song 50. Do not hum to birthday. Target group-consciously black horses and rather hip hoppen themselves the Schluempfe their Staendchen. In the sense of their Belgian inventor Peyo the new life change of its most famous creatures can hardly have been. "my father could not even draw cars", said son Thierry. Particularly for the Middle Ages the artist was interested the 1992 deceased.
The stork brings small Schlumpf children
The Schluempfe was a coincidence product, emerged 1958 only as Nebenfiguren in a Comic around the PAGE Johan on a medieval castle. But the mini appearance of the small blue ones at the end of a side becomes the birth of a myth. The readers are in such a way inspired of zipfelbemuetzten dwarves that they get one year later their first solo history.
Green were too knallig taboo, red and yellow
Also the sky-blue skin of the tiny natures was rather a coincidence, said Peyos widow Niné. "my man could not deal particularly well with colors." Taboo was green, since the Schluempfe would have gone down otherwise regarding the Dickicht of the forest. Red and yellow were too knallig, skin color came for the magic natures anyway not in question. Thus only blue remained.
Likewise unplanned the name with cap in the bed of the going associates. The idea came Peyo during one vacation with the Belgian Comic draughtsman Franquin. When with eating the correct word for salt did not occur to it, Peyo asked to give therefore it "le schtroumpf". From then on the men inserted the term everywhere, translated even French fables into the language of the Schtroumpfs. In the German translations in the intolerable and partly also unrecognizable one one verschlumpft. Only the wise dad Schlumpf speaks 100 per cent schlumpf free.
Gargamel as symbol figure of western capitalism
In signal-red dressed and with full beard in the face the Oberschlumpf is often interpreted as mini version of Karl Marx. The blue dwarves are a communist heap, so the interpretation, the village represent the utopia of a socialist society. Everything does not belong to all, the village supplies itself, money plays in the Schlumpf life a role. Proof for this thesis is also that Schluempfe fall duly on the nose, if they try from their firmly written role to break and their own thing to turn. Gargamel is according to the interpretation a symbol figure for western capitalism and the besserwisserische Schlaubischlumpf a representative of the Intelligentsia uncomfortable in communism.
Thierry Culliford said, an alleged membership of its father in the communist party did not continue to be anything as a rumor. "Schlumpf stories are based only on which it from the observation of its environment pulled, were politically active he never." Who does not interpret the Schlumpf adventures politically, she can read at least sexistisch. From the bad Gargamel as discords pin end temptation first bruenett production, of dad Schlumpf then changed into a blond bloede Sexbombe, stood for Schlumpfine so far only decoratively in the picture around.
Blue troop depends on the stork
Also to the reproduction the hollow beautiful one is not needed; with the Schluempfen that settles the stork. Whether the blue troop in their 50. Lebensjahr now so modern will that in the future also over to child wars and parent time are, wanted the Schlumpf Macher unfortunately not to answer. Putzig will remain the blue gang even with higher woman portion.
Sorry, not the best translation (Babelfish) but it at least gives an idea.
And no longer, Smurfette shall remain the only female smurf. [Note, but there are Granny and Sassette,aren't they?]
That's what happens if you try to translate something while kids are constantly pestering you
