The Smurfs, Legend of Smurfy Hollow | @SonyPictures

One of my favorite things as a kid was grabbing my favorite bowl of cereal on a Saturday morning and plopping down in front of the tv to catch the next episode of The Smurfs.  In all honesty, I wanted to be Smurfette because she was just so adorable, fun, and the only girl with hundreds of boys!

Little Green Pouch
