The latest animated film, Smurfs: The Lost Village, has caused a wave of blue fever around the world. Singer William Wei was invited to play the voice of Brainy Smurf in the Chinese version. Dubbing for a movie for the first time, Wei says he has been a Smurf fan since childhood, and had a real sense of actually existing in the movie during the process.
The Smurfs were created by Belgian cartoonist Peyo in 1958. The village he invented is the home of blue-skinned elves, including Papa Smurf, Greedy Smurf, Lazy Smurf and Smurfette. Other main characters include the wizard Gargamel and his cat Azrael. These characters are the stuff of childhood memories for many a Taiwanese.
For Taiwan, the film company has built a unique Smurf village featuring a giant Smurf statue that costs NT$1 million, together with over 500 cute Smurf dolls. The display can be seen at the Fuxing branch of Taipei’s Sogo Department Store until April 16.
