Typical stories deal with the Smurfs' efforts to fight off * Gargamel, who wanted to do one of several things to the blue creatures including eat them, make them slaves and gain their magical secrets in order to gain dignity among the wizard's fraternity. More than once, the Smurfs had to save Gargamel from his back-firing * plans or even eviler wizard * * * * Depicted here is part of a roof from one of the Smurfs' houses. * * * Original Animation Cel and Background Overall Size of Cel: 10 1/2" x 12 1/2" Overall Size of Background: 10 1/2" x 14" * * Overall Condition: Very Good, paint chips to the cel * * * This is an original hand-painted cel set-up used in the production of an episode of "The Smurfs."
