Smurfs: The Lost Village is a 2017 American animated fantasy adventure comedy film based on The Smurfs comic series by Peyo, produced by Columbia Pictures, Sony Pictures Animation, The Kerner Entertainment Company, and Wanda Pictures, in association with LStar Capital, and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing.[1][7] A reboot to Sony's previous live-action/animated hybrid films and the third and final installment in Sony's Smurfs film series, the film was directed by Kelly Asbury from a screenplay written by Stacey Harman and Pamela Ribon,[1] and stars the voices of Demi Lovato, Rainn Wilson, Joe Manganiello, Jack McBrayer, Danny Pudi, Michelle Rodriguez, Ellie Kemper, Ariel Winter, Jake Johnson, Meghan Trainor, Mandy Patinkin, and Julia Roberts. In the film, a mysterious map prompts Smurfette, Brainy, Clumsy, and Hefty to find a lost village before Gargamel does.[1] The film introduced the female Smurfs, who appeared in the franchise the following year.

Smurfs: The Lost Village was theatricallly released in the United States on April 7, 2017, to mixed reviews from critics, although some considered it an improvement over the previous two films,[8] and was not as successful as its two predecessors, grossing over $197 million worldwide against a $60 million budget, but still a commercial success. It is dedicated to Jonathan Winters, the voice actor of both Grandpa Smurf from the 1980s animated series and Papa Smurf from the original movie series who died in 2013, Anton Yelchin, the voice actor of Clumsy Smurf in the live-action movies, and Nine Culliford,[9] the wife of Peyo, who both died in 2016.

Smurfs: The Lost Village was the last Smurfs film to be distributed by Sony Pictures, as Paramount Pictures (through Paramount Animation) and Nickelodeon Movies acquired rights to future films based on the brand in February 2022, with Sony still retaining the rights to their Smurfs films. A CGI animated Smurfs series inspired by The Lost Village was released in April 2021, while a new Smurfs film, The Smurfs Movie, is scheduled to be released by Paramount on July 18, 2025.
