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 world¹s 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!

Encyclopedic overview
The Smurfs 2 is a 2013 American live-action animated fantasy adventure comedy film loosely based on The Smurfs comic book series created by the Belgian comics artist Peyo. It serves as the sequel to the 2011 film The Smurfs, as well as the second installment of Sony Pictures Animation's Smurfs film series. The film was again directed by Raja Gosnell from a screenplay written by Karey Kirkpatrick and the writing teams of J. David Stem and David N. Weiss, and Jay Scherick and David Ronn, and a story conceived by the latter four. The entire main cast reprised their roles from the first film. New cast members include Christina Ricci and J. B. Smoove as members of the Naughties, Brendan Gleeson as Patrick Winslow's stepfather, and Jacob Tremblay (in his film debut) as Blue Winslow.
The Smurfs 2 was released theatrically on July 31, 2013, by Sony Pictures Releasing. Like its predecessor, the film was panned by critics, yet unlike the first film, it underperformed at the box office, as it only grossed $347.5 million against a $105 million budget. A sequel, The Smurfs 3, was initially planned for a summer 2015 release, but was cancelled in favor of a fully animated reboot, Smurfs: The Lost Village, which was released on April 7, 2017, and directed by Kelly Asbury, with Sony and Kerner returning to produce the film while having a new cast.
