And when I talked to the people there no one said that they will be any repainting in the near future. However, that is not the case because when we got there in November (2017), the village was just as “smurfy” as ever. They are not allowed to sell stuff that is connected to the Smurfs and the article said that the village will be painted white again. Not allowed to be called a Smurf Village anymoreīy the end of last year, I read an article saying that Juzcar is not allowed to be called a Smurf Village anymore. So Sony Pictures were now done with their campaign and the village stayed blue. However, the people that lived there (about 200 people) liked the new look so they voted to keep Juzcar blue. The twist must have something to do about royalty fees and stuff because in the beginning, Sony Pictures had promised to paint the village back to white after the campaign. I’m not sure what happened but what I have read – Sony Pictures told the people of Juzcar that they were not allowed to call themselves a smurf village anymore and that they were not allowed to sell items with the smurfs. Everything was all and well and you could buy memorabilia everywhere. During one period the locals also dressed up like smurfs and walked around. Celebrities flocked to Juzcar and the village also had buses coming with tourists daily. It didn’t take long before loads of people started to visit this place. This place is located not far from Ronda, Spain where the famous bridge is located And then they placed huge smurfs all over the place and the place was reborn. They bought 4 200 liters of blue paint and transformed the village into a blue feast for the eyes. Sony Pictures got an ok to remake Juzcar into the world’s first – and only Smurf Village. It is said that they chose Juzcar because it is famous for its mushrooms and we all know that the Smurfs love mushrooms (and they live in them too). So they found a village – a small village that might look like it would be the perfect smurf village. In order to do that they wanted something big to “make a bang”. In 2011, Sony Pictures wanted to promote their new Smurf movie. Not allowed to be called a Smurf Village anymore.The worlds first and only Smurf Village.
