Snoopy Meets The Smurfs

Snoopy Meets The Smurfs is a prime-time animated crossover TV special based upon the popular comic strip Peanuts, by Charles M. Schulz and the Belgian comic book series, The Smurfs by Peyo. It aired on the CBS network on November 12, 1990. The special was produced at Mendelson/Melendez, in collaboration with Hanna-Barbera and one of the first Peanuts specials to be animated overseas. Unlike the later seasons, The Smurfs are set in their Season 2 timeline.

Sypnosis
Set in medieval times, Snoopy and Woodstock live in a human village and they eventually encounter the Smurfs.

Plot
We start off our story where Snoopy and Woodstock live in a human village, and both are very happy about living a good life in the village. They even did antics for the people on-stage for entertainment. One day, they are chased by a ogre while they were in the forest to get some food. That ogre was Bigmouth. Snoopy and Woodstock had hidden in a tree. The two sat there for a day until one morning, a group of five Smurfs, Papa Smurf, Smurfette, Brainy, Clumsy, Hefty, Handy, Vanity, Jokey and Grouchy, entered the forest to pick out smurfberries from the smurfberry bushes.

Trivia

 * Johan and Peewit, as well as the rest of the Peanuts characters were originally intended to appear in this special, but they were cut for time.
 * Charlie Brown was mentioned once by Snoopy.
 * Larry Leichliter and the other animators (not counting Bill Littlejohn) did the posing for Snoopy and Woodstock, due to the animation being outsourced to Asia. Leichliter even directed the animation, along with the other Hanna-Barbera animation directors.
 * In a similar way with You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown and Snoopy! The Musical, Snoopy is able to speak, but unlike these two specials, he talks instead of thinking. This is due to Papa Smurf giving him a special potion to make him speak.
 * Tim Curry filled in for the voice of Gargamel, due to Paul Winchell being absent at the time during the making of this special.
 * Like The Smurfs and the Magic Flute movie, the special started with a book and narrator after the title sequence.
 * It was also known as Snoopy et les Schtroumpfs in the French dub of the special. Melendez's voice was also retained in the French dub.
