This is the first image of the character design from the upcoming live action/animation hybrid movie The Smurfs that was just leaked online.

Talk of a Smurfs movie has been buzzing for years, but finally, now, it is upon us. Raja Gosnell, of Beverly Hills Chihuahua and Scooby-Doo fame, is currently in pre-production on a live action mixed with CG feature in New York City. (Yes, the Smurfs village is in Central Park. Awesome.)

One of our spies was able to grab a shot of this adoreable CG rendered Smurf.  You’ll notice it looks a lot different than the Smurf that was featured on a leaked poster some months back.  It says “Smurfy” next to him – but we’re guessing that’s more of an exclamation than the little dude’s name.

Looks about right for a live action hybrid. I’m glad they are sticking closely to the original design but I’m not expecting a gem with this movie.
