A new live-action/animation hybrid Smurfs movie is hitting this summer, and distinct art style aside, its first trailer feels too stale

Honestly, I've lost count of how many Smurfs movies Hollywood has gone through already, but 2017's Smurfs: The Lost Village, the one modern entry which actually committed strictly to animation, didn't exactly light the box office on fire. That said, with a budget of just $60 million, it made just enough money to justify more big-screen flicks. And that's exactly what we're getting with Paramount's new take on the blue characters.
