‘The Smurfs 2’ New Trailer Shows Off an Evil Smurfette

Gargamel and his Naughties make cute little Smurfette act evil…well, evil by Smurf standards…in this new trailer for The Smurfs 2. The new trailer features an introduction by Katy Perry (the voice of Smurfette), with the Sony Pictures Animation sequel also featuring Neil Patrick Harris, Jayma Mays, Sofia Vergara, and Hank Azaria as Gargamel.

The Plot: In this sequel to the hybrid live action/animated family blockbuster comedy The Smurfs, the evil wizard Gargamel creates a couple of mischievous Smurf-like creatures called the Naughties that he hopes will let him harness the all-powerful, magical Smurf-essence. But when he discovers that only a real Smurf can give him what he wants, and only a secret spell that Smurfette knows can turn the Naughties into real Smurfs, Gargamel kidnaps Smurfette and brings her to Paris, where he has been winning the adoration of millions as the world¹s greatest sorcerer.

It’s up to Papa, Clumsy, Grouchy, and Vanity to return to our world, reunite with their human friends Patrick and Grace Winslow, and rescue her! Will Smurfette, who has always felt different from the other Smurfs, find a new connection with the Naughties Vexy and Hackus ¬ or will the Smurfs convince her that their love for her is True Blue?

The Smurfs 2 opens in theaters on July 31, 2013.
