he uses his acquired magic on her elderly mother to restore her youth. Upon recognizing Patrick, Gargamel chases after him and ends up getting arrested, but he is able to escape using a swarm of flies. Papa manages to calculate the night he and the others can get home, but needs to work out a spell. While the Smurfs bond with Patrick and Grace, Papa decides to search a nearby bookstore in order to locate the spell. The Smurfs find the book L’Histoire des Schtroumpfs by researcher Peyo, containing the spell to turn the moon blue. Gargamel sneaks into the bookstore and finds a dragon wand, transferring his magic into it and uses it to capture Papa. After increasing the wand's power with Smurf essence extracted from bits of Papa, Gargamel finds himself facing all the Smurfs, having been summoned by the blue moon which opened the portal to their world. As the Smurf army battles Gargamel, Smurfette defeats Azrael and saves Papa. Gargamel is knocked out by Patrick, who drops the dragon wand in the process. Clumsy tries to catch it, and to Papa's surprise, is successful and sends Gargamel flying into the path of a bus, carrying him away. The Smurfs take their leave and bid Patrick and Grace farewell. Later, Patrick and Grace have a baby boy, whom they name Blue to honor the Smurfs, who rebuild their village in the style of New York. In the aftermath, Gargamel and Azrael wakes up and learns that he is still in the present. Cast Live-action actors Hank Azaria as Gargamel, the arch-nemesis of the Smurfs who plots to use the Smurfs as part of a spell that would turn lead into gold. As opposed to the television show where Gargamel's goal is to use the Smurfs as the key ingredient in an alchemical formula to create the gold or eat them or destroy them, in the film he wants to capture them to serve as charms, "whose mystical essence will make his inept magic more powerful — and dangerous". To look the part of Gargamel, Azaria wore a prosthetic nose, ears, buck teeth, eyebrows, and a wig (to make the process easier, he shaved his head). The initial make-up test took three hours, but by mid-production, the process took 90 minutes to complete. Azaria was transformed over 50 times and spent approximately 130 hours in the make-up chair.
