Papa Smurf looks good for his age
There's nothing like a good birthday party, especially when there's Smurfberry cake around.
The Smurfs are turning 50 this year and the party's already underway in Europe.
The characters first appeared in a Belgian comic strip in 1958, created by late cartoonist Pierre Culliford. The blue crew's debut on U,S. television in 1-81 made the Smurfs a household name.
To mark a half-century of Smurfdom, organizers plan on including Papa Smurf, Smurfette, Handy and the others in a 3-D animation feature film and new comic book collections. And of course, the 80s cartoon series will be re-mastered and released on DVD.
