I like the smurfs but I find the atmosphere of their stories, especially the ones involving Gargamel, too sinister: Gargamel always wanting to kill them in the weirdest ways, like turning them into stone or gold, or wanting to fry them, boil them, cut them into pieces, etc. And what about their village always being destroyed by giants, dragons, storms? SCARY!The purple smurfs episode, with smurfs biting each others tails and turning purple, that was also a terrible one, I still feel anxious if I think about it. Wait, Berserker said black smurfs, but I remeber them as purple. Is it the same story? I remember when I was a kid smurfs cartoons gave me nightmares in more than one occasion !
