The Smurfs Dance Party looks to be a lot like Just Dance - With Smurfs. The game mixes chart-topping tracks with classic tunes in more than 20 fun dances, all created by professional choreographers and led by the legendary blue characters.
In The Smurfs Dance Party, kids and parents can dance alongside their favorite characters and heroes from the feature film, including Smurfette, Papa Smurf, Clumsy, Brainy, Gutsy and Gargamel. Players can enjoy moving to a wide selection of musical genres, including Pop, R&B, Rock and Punk. Each track has unique choreography and can accommodate up to four dancers in Party Mode.
A Smurfs-themed video game will also be available on the Nintendo DS? system. In The Smurfs on DS, kids can play fun and interactive mini-games, including cake decoration, dress-up with Smurfette, and performing in the Smurf Symphony. They will also be able to read and interact with stories based on The Smurfs movie.
The reason behind the renewed interest in Smurfs is because the Smurfs make their first 3D trip to the big screen in Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Animation's hybrid live-action and animated family comedy, The Smurfs. When the evil wizard Gargamel chases the Smurfs out of their village, through a magical portal, and into our world, they land in the middle of New York?s Central Park. Just three apples high and stuck in the Big Apple, the Smurfs must find a way to get back to their village before Gargamel tracks them down. Directed by Raja Gosnell. The producer is Jordan Kerner. The screenplay is by J. David Stem & David N. Weiss and Jay Scherick & David Ronn from a story by J. David Stem & David N. Weiss, based on the Characters and Works of Peyo.
Ubisoft's partnership with Sony Pictures Animation on the development of The Smurfs video game is the fourth collaboration in a successful relationship that includes top-selling video games based on Sony Pictures Animation?s previous animated sensations Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Open Season and the Oscar®-nominated Best Animated Feature, Surf's Up.
