有什麼東西通體發藍,而且只有三個蘋果高?這群戴著白帽的藍色小矮人就是藍色小精靈。喜愛這齣1980年代卡通影集的影迷們有福了。這些渾身發藍的小小森林居民即將登上大銀幕。他們將要主演一部屬於自己的電影——《藍色小精靈》。這是一部由真人演出的喜劇片,裡頭還有炫目的電腦繪圖以及3D科技特效。
The Smurfs live among knights, kings, and wizards6 during the Middle Ages. Life in their hidden forest village is happy and peaceful. The only thing that threatens this is the evil wizard Gargamel. The Smurfs have magical powers, and Gargamel wants them.
藍色小精靈住在充滿著騎士、國王和巫師的中古世紀裡。他們在隱密的森林村莊中過著既美滿又安詳的生活。唯一威脅到他們的就是邪惡的巫師賈不妙。而他所覬覦的就是藍色小精靈擁有的魔法力量。
By chance, Gargamel discovers the Smurfs' village and chases a group of them into a forbidden7 cave. Before they know it, they are magically transported to the Big Apple in the 21st century. It is quite a shock, but the Smurfs must find a way home before Gargamel catches them. Will these sweet, innocent creatures succeed in getting back to their magical world? You will just have to catch "The Smurfs" in theaters this month to find out.
賈不妙在偶然間發現了藍色小精靈的村落,而且還把一群小精靈趕進一處禁忌的洞穴裡。在他們還來不及反應之前,他們就神奇地被傳送到二十一世紀的大蘋果(編按:大蘋果即紐約市的暱稱)。雖然他們大吃一驚,不過藍色小精靈們必須在賈不妙抓到他們之前找到回家的路。這些天真可愛的小傢伙能不能成功回到他們的奇幻世界?您只有在本月份到戲院裡觀賞《藍色小精靈》才能一見分曉。
