Extras. Not much to speak of. I would have loved to have had some sort of featurette or retrospective. You'd think that with all of the people who loved the show, they would have included something.
- Bonus Episode - The Smurfs' Springtime Special. This episode has the village cleaning up as Spring approaches, while Gargamel pays a visit to rival wizard, Balthazar. The show also features an appearance by Mother Nature and a variety of woodland critters. The episode is a bit larger in scope and is as much fun as the rest of the shows presented here.
- Smurfs: The Music Video. Pretty lame add-on. This is like something you'd find on YouTube. It’s just a series of clips set to the theme music with the occasional "record scratch" transition.
Bottomline. If you fancy yourself a fan of the Smurfs, be sure you get your hands on this set, as I am sure sales will help encourage future releases. Besides, the show is still a lot of fun. It seems to have aged quite well in the face of the current state of cartoons.
One more thing of note is that it is being advertised, and is marked on the episode list of the packaging as having one single sided disk and one two-sided disk. This is not the case. Both disks are single-sided and contain all of the advertised content.
Recommended.
