Aw, I loved Los Pitufos, until i heard Peyo made a satanic pact to get rich, and like thousand of kids in my country; Chile; got really scared lol, it was a really big urban myth down here.
Oh and there were horrible stories about Pitufina (Smurfette) attacking little kids in the night, so we were all freaked out.
Until now Pitufos are used in scary stories,and a lot of 20 something like me still remember stories about Papa Pitufo pulling hair out of babies heads lol.

@pol X: Your reasoning is that if a thing is shown to a USAnian they think it is from the US because that is where they saw it.

Smurf no! My reasoning was that an American animation production company Hanna-Barbera popularized The Smurfs into a worldwide fame.

Tangentially related--Peter Jackson was reportedly looking into making a Tintin movie with Steven Spielberg. Not sure where this went.

Pol x, I guarantee you that the vast majority of Americans who have heard of the Smurfs, a) only know them from an American cartoon and b) naturally assume they are an American creation. That's the truth, so get over yourself.

The only reason I knew they weren't an American creation when I was a kid was because I read the comics, and they clearly weren't American.

I agree with Sandra.

There are limits.

Alex,

actually I think you'll find that outside the USA it was widely known that the smurfs were not from the USA.

Your reasoning is that if a thing is shown to a USAnian they think it is from the US because that is where they saw it.

Sort of cyclical thinking there.

"a computer-animated 3-D movie is in the works" Oh, yuck. I am so ridiculously depressed that Hollywood is inflicting upon us yet ANOTHER CGI 3-D movie, especially another one based on what was originally 2-D animation (well, okay, originally a comic adapted for 2-D animation). I realize it isn't always the medium that's to blame but lord, the days when CGI stuff looked "neat" seem so far gone. These days so much of it just looks uncanny and disturbing at best, very much lacking in character or 'heart.' I also realize that HB wasn't exactly a shining example of the amazing stuff one could do with 2-D but good -lord- do I miss 2-D animated movies (as well special effects done with muppets or stop-motion rather than computers, and the like)! On a completely unrelated note, what was Smurfette called in the original? If the Smurfs were 'Schtroumpfs,' was she 'Schtroumpfette'?

One constantly reminds himself that the USA is not the center of the Universe.

I think Gargamel is sort of a neat name. Maybe I'll give a pet that name or supm. Is Gargamel supposed to be a stereotype of "The Jew"?

Exactly what it means: the Smurfs were popularized in America by Hanna-Barbera, which is an American animation production company, so it's natural to assume that they came up with the idea of the Smurfs as well as their other hits.

Obviously this wasn't the case, but unless you were really into it, you might not have known.

I agree with you on your last point. Indeed it is possible for things to exist, and even flourish, outside of the USA.

I was really surprised to see this thing about Smurfs and KKK.

The usual politic related Smurf controversy in Europe is that Smurfs are in fact communists. This notion comes, both from their idealistic little village society and the Peyo's own political inclinations.

"The Smurfs became a worldwide hit after Hanna-Barbera featured them in an animated series in the 1980s, so it is quite natural to assume that they’re an American creation."

Natural to assume?

Please explain how it's natural to assume?

It is possible for things to exist, even flourish, outside of the USA you know.
