Making their debut in Johan and Peewit's comic book in 1958, these little blue characters created by Belgian artist Peyo (Pierre Culliford) have been spreading happiness and entertaining families worldwide for several generations. The new animated series "The Smurfs" (2021) airs globally on Nickelodeon and Netflix, as well as on TF1 in France.
