For example, a black-haired Smurfette has all of Smurfette’s bad habits, and none of what’s good about Smurfette! When the Smurfs meet the so-called “Grey Smurfs,” they want to be friends. But the Grey Smurfs are only interested in going to war against the Smurfs, conquering them, and turning them all into their slaves. Can Papa Smurf fix this mess he created?
