The Smurfs
A brand on a field trip. The village is forgotten as soon as the billboard appears.
The 2011 Smurfs takes a village and drops it in Manhattan so the fish can be out of water. There is nothing in the trip for a child except the color and the name. Prefer the lost-village film if you must pick one, and prefer neither if the afternoon can hold a real story. This is a commercial.

New York is a backdrop. Work is a gag.
Household

A village reduced to a mascot.
Piety
1/10
Nothing is reverent. The city is the joke.
Courage
3/10
They run. The running is the plot.
Republic
2/10
No public, only a chase through one.
Temperance
3/10
Noise and product.
Truth
3/10
It does not pretend to be the old stories. It also does not replace them with anything.
Stewardship
1/10
What it hands on is the toy.
