Global Smurf Day Takes Place on the Saturday Closest to June 25?🎂🥳🎉

I don't think I have ever watched a Smurf movie or TV episode in my entire life, but the popularity of these cartoon characters worldwide I do find intriguing.
I see that there is another Smurf movie ready to hit cinema screens worldwide, with Smurfette being voiced by Rihanna.
Looks like the local Southeast Queensland cinemas have preview screenings running next week to coincide with the Queensland school holidays.
"Smurfette" was the first female Smurf to be introduced in the series according to The Smurfs Wikipedia page.Over time, the tiny creatures gained fans worldwide through cartoons, toys, and later, full-length films. Sony Pictures Animation launched the day to mark the release of “The Smurfs” movie and to honor Peyo’s birthday, June 25.
The first event saw fans in multiple countries dress up as Smurfs, aiming for a world record. Thousands joined in, wearing blue outfits, white hats, and plenty of smiles. They gathered in cities like New York, Brussels, and Mexico City. That day, the Guinness World Records officially recognized it as the largest global gathering of people dressed as Smurfs.
Now, each year, the celebration falls on the Saturday closest to June 25. People take part through costumes, themed events, movie marathons, and parties"

Maybe I should have kept my Papa Smurf Kinder Surprise figure that I wrote about in this 2017 blog post -
