Long ago, I read a brief pitch for a Smurfs movie concept that I loved. The writer's (of that pitch) went back and watched every episode and noted all the little inconsistancies; characters vanishing from the story/world without explanation, characters changing names or characterists without explanation, mulitple conflicting origins stories. Things like that. Apparently, there are a lot.
And the point of the movie was to explain those inconsistencies, to fill in the gaps. It was going to be very tongue-in-cheek, and a little more "adult."
I wish they'd make that Smurfs movie instead. Smurfin' idiots.
