In “The Purple Smurf,” when a strange fly bites one of the Smurfs, a full-on epidemic develops in the Smurf Village. After being bit, a Smurf turns purple, his vocabulary is reduced to one word (“gnap!”), and he goes berserk! The purple Smurf runs amok, biting other Smurfs on the tail and turning them purple too! It’s up to Papa Smurf to find a cure. “The Flying Smurf” features the inspiring tale of a Smurf with a dream ? to fly!
