Ex-The X Factor coach Britney Spears will sing “Ooh La La” over the end credits of Columbia Pictures/Sony Pictures Animation’s The Smurfs 2 coming to theaters on July 31, 2013. The new song for the family-friendly comedy was written by Lukasz Gottwald (Dr. Luke), Joshua Coleman (Ammo), Henry Walter (Cirkut), Bonnie McKee, Jacob Kasher Hindlin (J Kash), Lola Blanc, and Fransisca Hall.
“I have always loved the Smurfs as a kid, and now my boys are the biggest Smurfs fans EVER,” said Spears. “I wanted to surprise them with a song in the movie. I know they’ll think it’s Smurftastic!”
Lia Vollack, president of Worldwide Music for Sony Pictures, added, “We are completely thrilled to have Britney involved with The Smurfs. She is an amazing artist and her boys are Smurfs fans, so it’s a great fit for all of us.”
“I am very excited that Britney is joining our smurfy adventure. ‘Ooh La La’ is the perfect Smurf-party song, and the perfect button on the film for audiences around the world,” said director Raja Gosnell.
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 world’s 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?
