Having just unveiled the first poster, Sony Pictures Animation has released the first teaser trailer for its upcoming, fully-animated adventure Smurfs: The Lost Village. The spot sees Smurfette, Brainy, Clumsy and Hefty cautiously breaking the fourth wall — until a ravenous carnivorous flower intervenes.
The spot shows how the refreshed CG characters and their fantastical forest world reflect the original art created by Peyo. But while the look is leaning toward classic, there’s a definite modern vibe with “Get Back” by Ludacris providing musical accompaniment.
