Smurfs: The Lost Village is out in theatres this month. Here are four things you should know about the fictional colony of tiny blue-skinned humanoids.
1 They’ve been around since 1958
The Smurfs were created by Belgian comic artist and writer Peyo, and first appeared as side characters in another fantasy comic.
2 The name was inspired by salt
Peyo had forgotten the word for "salt", so he made one up and asked for the “schtroumpf”. “Les Schtroumpfs” became the original name, and was later translated to "The Smurfs".
3 They can live for hundreds of years
Great Gadgets Grandpa Smurf once returned from a 500-year-long journey around the world.
4 They wear Phrygian caps
Otherwise known as liberty caps, Phrygian caps were worn by former slaves in ancient Rome to symbolise their freedom.
“I’m pretty smart with boys. I know how to handle them and I know what to do around them.” – Ariel Winter, who voices SmurfLily in the movie.
