He wrestled for the WWF (now the WWE) which led to his being one of the featured characters in Hulk Hogan’s Rock ‘n’ Wrestling.

SMURFBERRY CRUNCH CEREAL / SMURF MAGIC BERRIES CEREAL
SMURFBERRY CRUNCH / SMURF MAGIC BERRIES
Post
The
Smurfs is a successful franchise spinning out of a Belgium comic
created by Pierre Culliford, better known
as Peyo. Appearing in the pages of Spirou in October of 1958, the
Smurfs are long-lived little blue creatures that live in the middle of a
medieval forest in a village comprised of mushroom houses. Initially supposed
to be just a one-shot guest in Peyo’s already-running strip, Johan and
Peewit, they proved popular enough to be upgraded to their own feature.
Merchandisers quickly fell in love with them as much as audiences as their
similar appearance meant they had to do very little work to produce each
character.
NBC president Fred
Silverman decided that the Smurfs would make a good cartoon and
negotiated for their rights. The
Smurfs debuted on the network on September 12, 1981 and their
popularity only continued to grow. The show was quickly expanded to an hour,
then 90 minutes with syndicated reruns starting in 1986. It would go on to run
for 9 seasons, and changes made to the characters to better distinguish them
from each other would become the default appearance for those characters going
forward.
As part of
the merchandising blitz that followed the cartoon, Post joined in with a new cereal in 1983:
Smurfberry Crunch, named for the fruit that served as the primary food source
for the Smurfs. The cereal was comprised of berry-flavored red and dark blue
pieces that were six tiny balls assembled in a star shape. A number of premiums
were included during the cereal’s run, including Smurf rub-ons,
glow-in-the-dark
stickers, cut-out
award buttons, Presidential
campaign buttons, a game
on the back panel, tin
signs, and a contest to win an entertainment center. Most of the
commercials were animated, featuring the Smurfs producing the cereal and
singing a jingle to the tune of Tchaikovsky’s
“The Nutcracker Suite”
(which was in keeping with original showrunner Gerard Baldwin’s desire to
feature classical music in the series). Most of the primary cast reprised their
respective roles for the various commercials. Actor and musician Jack Black has claimed to have
appeared in a non-animated commercial being pulled in a red wagon (although
no visual evidence has been found as yet).
A small
issue arose with the cereal. Apparently, the blue dye used, if eaten in enough quantities,
would turn excrement blue. While not as concerning as the Franken
Berry incident a decade prior, Post still decided to address it by
rebooting the cereal in 1987. Now called Smurf Magic Berries, the cereal
maintained the same shapes but replaced the blue coloring with orange and yellow.
Also, white marshmallow stars were added to symbolize the magic; as evidenced
by Papa Smurf (Don
Messick) casting a spell with them against their enemy, Gargamel, in the
new commercial. It finally left shelves for the last time around the time the
cartoon was cancelled. Premiums for this version included gummi candies, simple magic tricks
and a game on
the back panel.

The Smurfs is a media franchise that began life as a comic
by Belgian artist Peyo (the pen name of Pierre Culliford). In 1947, Peyo started a comic
strip called Johan that was initially published in the newspaper La Derniere Heure before moving over to the Editions Dupuis publication Spirou. The strip
was set in an unnamed European kingdom in the Middle Ages and centered on the
titular Johan, young page to the King. Johan was brave and gallant, and always went
headfirst to resolve any kind of trouble with his trusty horse, Bayard. In 1954, Johan was joined by a comedic sidekick named Pirlouit (aka Peewit,
who would become Peyo’s all-time favorite character) and his goat, Biquette (named after Peyo’s
wife’s childhood pet), and the strip was renamed Johan et Pirlouit. Unlike Johan, Peewit was diminutive, cowardly,
and quick to complain about the adventures he and Johan went on. However, he
was loyal to his friend and his King.

In October of 1958, the Schrtumpfs (or Smurfs, as they were translated into by the Dutch and adopted into English) were introduced, inspired when Peyo saw his daughter playing with a dwarf figurine. The Smurfs are long-lived (aging centuries) little creatures said to be “3 apples high” (a literal translation of the description haut comme trois pommes, which was more akin to the expression “knee-high to a grasshopper”), and were virtually indistinguishable from each other as they all had the same blue skin (suggested by his wife, who worked as a colorist on some of his books) and tails and wore white trousers and a white Phrygian cap. Only their leader, Papa Smurf (or Grand Schtroumpf), initially had any differences as he wore red clothing and had a full beard. Originally, they lived in a village in a part of the world called “Le Pays Maudit” (French for “the Cursed Land”) that was peppered with dense forests, deep marshes, a desert and a high mountain range in houses that resembled large mushrooms, and relied on storks to transport them to other places. Later, their village would simply be located in the forest, concealed from discovery by magic unless led there by a Smurf. Their primary food source was sarsaparilla leaves (suggested by his Spirou editor-in-chief, partner and translator Yvan Delporte who found the name “magical”) worked into various dishes.

The Smurfs proved immensely popular with readers and soon got their own feature in Spirou in 1959. This led Peyo to create a studio where he would supervise the production of Smurfs adventures while he would continue to personally work on Johan and Peewit. Their stories were fairly simple, dealing with life around their village that often led to comedic situations with political and social subtext (such as one Smurf declaring himself king of the village in Papa Smurf’s absence), or put at odds against the evil wizard Gargamel and his cat, Azrael, who wanted to catch the Smurfs in order to use them as an ingredient to make gold (or to eat, depending on the story). Initially, none of the Smurfs had names beyond Papa Smurf, but as the strip continued their names and personalities (usually related to each other) began to take form, and individual flourishes were added to their appearance. For instance, Grouchy is eternally grumpy and is typically seen scowling and announcing what he doesn’t like; Clumsy is always tripping over or dropping something; Lazy is generally sleeping while others work; Vanity always had a mirror accessible to stare at his reflection; Jokey is always laughing and carrying exploding gift boxes; Brainy is the glasses-wearing know-it-all whose annoying need to be right often outpaced his good sense; Hefty is the village strongman who carried heavy loads; Chef was the village cook whose hat resembled a chef’s and also wore an apron; etc.

The similar appearances of the Smurfs made them merchandising darlings as manufacturers had to make very little changes between the various characters. Smurf figurines have been in production since 1959, only missing two years of releases. This led to the creation of SEPP International S.A. (la Societe d’Edition, de Presse et de Publicite) by Freddy Monnickendam to manage the merchandising of the Smurfs franchise. In 1961, the first animated adaptation of the comics came from TVA Dupuis and aired on RTB (now RTBF) in Belgium for 6 years. It only featured 9 episodes—direct adaptations of the comics—and was animated using cutouts; with the final two being in color during RTB’s first year of offering colorized broadcasts. Five of the episodes would be combined into the 1965 film Les Adventures des Schtroumpfs. A more traditional animated effort came in 1976 with Belvision Studios’ film The Smurfs and the Magic Flute, adapting the Smurfs’ first appearance.

No Smurf is an island, and despite living in relative secrecy from the rest of the world, the Smurfs managed to make a number of non-Smurf friends and allies. Among them were old friends Johan (Bell) and Peewit (Welker), who got their own adventures during the second season aiding their King (Bob Holt), Princess Sabina (Jennifer Darling) and her governess, Dame Barbara (Linda Gary), while also sometimes appearing with the Smurfs in their own; Feathers, a large stork that provided the Smurfs with air transportation and delivered messages; Enchanter Homnibus (Jack Angel), an old human wizard who was a good friends with Papa and often played games of chess with him; Mother Nature (Foray), the magical woman in charge of keeping nature running as intended; Father Time (Oppenheimer), a wise old man with a scythe who was the keeper of time; magical couple Tallulah and Selwyn, who constantly bickered and attempted to turn each other into various things, that lived in Quarrel Castle with their ghostly uncle, Fenwick, and pet gargoyle, Tharp; Gourdy (Marvin Kalplan), a genie freed from a gourd by Farmer who desires to be helpful with his magic but somehow manages to foul things up; The Pussywillow Pixies—protective leader Elderberry (Peggy Webber), clumsy Pansy (Susan Blu), vain Lilac, young Acorn (Patricia Parris), green-clad Bramble and Holly—who initially feared the Smurfs until they were rescued by them; Laconia, a mute wood elf that used sign language to communicate; Clockwork Smurf (Welker), a wooden robot built by Handy who gained sentience of his own and took up residence with the King, eventually joined by a Clockwork Smurfette; and Marina, a beautiful mermaid and Handy’s love interest, among others.

As the show went on, all-new new primary characters were added. In season 3, Baby Smurf (Julie McWhirter) was delivered by a stork to the village. For a baby, he was very bright and had a proclivity for magic; although his spellcasting often went unnoticed by the others. In season 5, three Smurfs were accidentally de-aged by one of Father Time’s clocks, turning them into the Smurflings. They were Natural, aka Nat (Joe Camen as adult, Charlie Adler as Smurfling), a nature lover who communicated with animals; Slouchy (Noelle North), a laid-back Smurf; and Snappy (Pat Musick), a rambunctious Smurf who liked to get his own way and be in the middle of the action. Slouchy and Snappy were the few Smurfs to wear a shirt; with Slouchy’s being red and Snappy’s yellow with a storm cloud. A fourth Smurfling would later be introduced: Sassette (McWhirter). She was a sassy tomboy created from the same clay and spell used by Gargamel to create Smurfette, made by the other Smurflings to give Smurfette a female friend. That season also introduced Puppy (Taylor & Welker), who wore a magic locket that contained “the key to all magic” and could only be opened by one person (which ended up being Baby). He was given to the Smurfs by Homnibus and was often seen with the Smurflings. Originally, Puppy was going to be a Smurf-sized pet for Baby, but Peyo rejected the idea and helped redesign him as a magical being that resembled a dog. In season 6, Grandpa (Jonathan Winters), Papa’s predecessor, returned to the village after a 500-year journey to find the materials needed to recharge the Long Life Stone: the object that allowed Smurfs to live a long time. He enjoyed telling stories (although his memory got fuzzy at times) and kept a cache of items inside his very long beard. In season 7, Wild (Welker) was discovered having accidentally been lost in the forest when he was delivered to and raised by a family of squirrels (a pastiche of Tarzan). Brainy took it upon himself to tutor Wild in the ways of being a Smurf to try and shed his wild habits. Wild continued to live with the squirrels, his best friend being one named Chitter (Messick).

Murray, Mary Beal, Chris Bunch, Allan Cole, David Geffner, John Hudock, Jeffry O’Hare, Marie Quick, Scott Shaw, Kelly Aumier, Dick Robbins and Otsuki. Janson and Menville served as the original story editors until they stepped down, forcing Baldwin to become the supervising story editor as no one else at the time was knowledgeable enough for the job. Anasti, Cameron, Derek, Fogel, Seidenberg, Novier, Hopps, Matheny, Contreras and Robbins would all step into the role at various points during the series’ run. The first two seasons featured strong elements of slapstick as the production got a feel for the tone and characters, shifting to more story-driven adventures beginning with season 3. After season 5, and the conclusion of Snorks, Baldwin left the show as, according to layout supervisor Floyd Norman, “the studio was determined to sack him”. Bob Hathcock, whom Baldwin brought on to help him with producing duties, succeeded him in his role and instituted the network’s mandate to tone down some of the darker elements that had appeared in previous episodes.

The cast was also severely cut
down, featuring only Papa, Smurfette, Clumsy, Brainy, Lazy, Hefty, Snappy,
Sassette, Greedy, Jokey, Vanity, Painter, Grandpa, Wild, Smoogle, Baby and
Handy on a rotating basis. It was at this time that Winchell left the show,
allegedly being disgusted by the scripts. Any representation of Gargamel’s
character was voiced by Bell for the season. Ratings, which had begun to
steadily decline by this point, went into a freefall. NBC unsurprisingly
cancelled it at the end of the season, leaving it with an unresolved
cliffhanger. During its run, the series was nominated multiple times for Daytime
Emmy Awards, winning for “Outstanding Children’s Entertainment” in 1983. Papa and
Brainy would go on to appear in the anti-drug special Cartoon
All-Stars to the Rescue a few months after the series ended.

Each season had a unique opening
sequence and ending theme. The intros all typically showed different scenes of
the Smurfs engaging in their daily lives before transitioning over to
Gargamel’s attempted capture of them. Prominent new characters introduced
within that season were incorporated into the intro. The end of the sequence
usually featured a Smurf or several Smurfs sliding down a hollow log and
running over to where the show’s title was, sitting on top of a mushroom over
it while other Smurfs appeared behind the letters; initially as eyeballs and
later popping into full view. The 1st season’s featured an opening
narration introducing the audience to the world of the Smurfs, while the 2nd season’s had
the Smurfs singing actual lyrics to their theme song. The 8th season intro had more of a
narrative element to it, as Hefty and Sassette were on a mission to bring Papa
Smurf a book from which he would read to the other Smurfs. That book would
serve as the transition to the title screen, bypassing the log sliding portion.
The 9th season’s intro set up the time traveling premise and showed
the Smurfs escaping from some period threats before heading towards a
stone-carved version of the show’s logo. The 4th season intro is
probably the most recognized out of all them as a truncated version was used
for the syndicated rerun series Smurfs’ Adventures. Beginning in 1986, these half-hour episodes
featured some minor edits and time-compression (which resulted in the voices
sounding a bit higher than normal) in order to allow two stories to run in the
allotted time. For the first four seasons of episodes the season 4 closing
theme was also used over the end credits. Starting with season 5 episodes, the respective
original ending themes were used. Adventures would air on
various independent stations before going to USA
Network
in the early 1990s, and then to Cartoon
Network,
where it would run throughout the 90s, and Boomerang, where it remain
until 2022, eventually returning in 2023. It also aired on Teletoon Retro in Canada.
