Smurfs are older than you thought.

With The Smurfs - Season One, Vol. One being released, I thought I check out on how many season there were. There were nine! I had no idea.

Anyhow... I never knew that the Smurfs were created in 1958 and had a Belgium comic in 1963 and had a black and white movie, The Adventures of the Smurfs in 1965.

Some of the comics were used as storylines for the cartoon in the 1980's. Click on the wiki link for summaries of everything.

Very cool.
