Smurfs are back

The Smurfs, cartoon characters from Belgium, have returned to the Chinese market for the first time in decades. The characters were popular among children in China from the 1980s to early 1990s. In the Belgium Pavilion, figures of Smurfs, blue creatures as tall as three apples, are one of the most popular exhibitions. The Smurfs cartoon was adopted into 256 cartoon animations, some of which were imported into China. New Smurfs books and films will soon be launched in Shanghai, and a new 3D Smurfs movie will hit theaters in August next year.
