The Smurfs 2

Gargamel, the wizard who has set himself up in Paris as the world's greatest sorcerer, creates two small creatures that resemble Smurfs but behave badly. His plan is to use them to obtain the Smurfs' magical essence, and he needs the secret spell that only Smurfette knows to turn the pair into real Smurfs. When he learns that he requires an actual Smurf, he kidnaps Smurfette and takes her to the French capital. Papa Smurf, Clumsy, Grouchy and Vanity return to the human world and call on Patrick and Grace Winslow to help bring her home. Smurfette, who has long felt out of place among the others, has to decide where she belongs. The film is a sequel to The Smurfs and continues the blend of computer animation with live action.

Raja Gosnell directed, working from a screenplay by J. David Stem, David N. Weiss and Karey Kirkpatrick, with Jordan Kerner producing. The cast mixes voice and live-action roles: Katy Perry voices Smurfette, Hank Azaria plays Gargamel, and Neil Patrick Harris and Jayma Mays return as Patrick and Grace Winslow, joined by Brendan Gleeson as Victor Doyle and Jacob Tremblay as Blue Winslow. It was Gosnell's ninth film as director, following The Smurfs, and it cost about 105 million dollars to make, earning roughly 347 million dollars worldwide.
