Smurfs: The Lost Village

No established character is identity-swapped; Smurfette remains the canonical character.

Smurfette is the clear lead on a self-discovery arc and the film centers female empowerment via a hidden village of female Smurfs, but it doesn't mock or vilify the male Smurfs as a message.

• Smurfette leads the quest while Brainy, Clumsy and Hefty tag along
• Discovery of Smurfy Grove, an entire village of capable female Smurfs (Smurfwillow, SmurfLily, SmurfStorm)

No LGBTQ+, trans, or non-binary content present.

Animated fantasy world with blue characters; voice casting raises no lore-contradicting diversity issues.

A gentle 'find your own identity / girls can do anything' theme exists but stays folded into the story rather than lecturing.

• Smurfette learning she defines who she is rather than her origin
• The female Smurfs shown as brave warriors and explorers

No framing of masculinity or the West as toxic; male Smurfs remain likable allies.

A full reboot that reimagines the Smurfs and gives Smurfette an empowerment arc, but the changes are creative/marketing-driven rather than identity-agenda rewrites of established characters.

• Reboot away from the live-action films into full animation
• Smurfette's arc about origin and self-worth
