Sorry l crashed the cart, guys. l swear l saw something coming right at us.
That was the road, Panicky.
Hey, Hefty! How's it looking?
Lookin' good. Nice size. Excellent definition.
Not your muscles. The wheel.
That's busted.
We're all gonna die!
Maybe. Or we could all camp out here, walk back home in the morning.
Hey! Why don't we tell ghost stories?
Are you out ofyour mind?
You want to tell me a ghost...
Hey. How ya doin'?
Ghosts aren't real, Panicky.
Or are they?
lt's even scarier out there!
-Okay. Who said that? -Yeah, who's there?
-lt's a ghost! -No, l'm not a ghost.
lt's that guy with the big voice. He always says what just happened.
That's Narrator Smurf to you!
-Yeah, that's you. How you doin'? -l'm doing quite well, thank you.
And if it is a ghost story you seek,
l know one that is smurfsolutely true.
lt's iust the nerves.
Help me!
The story takes place beyond the old covered bridge,
in a place no Smurf in their right mind would dare to enter,
and where a vengeful, restless spirit is trapped forever.
You mean the Headless Smurfman? l mean, the Smurfless Headman?
Yes.
The Headless Horseman.
Excuse me, the Headless Horseman, that ain't real. No disrespect.
Oh, but it is.
There are some Smurfs who have actually seen him.
-Oh, yeah? Who? -Yeah! Who?
You mean you don't know the Legend of Smurfy Hollow?
The story begíns the year of the Golden Harvest.
The Smurfs were celebratíng the arríval of autumn wíth games, musíc and dance.
Gather around, Smurfs.
lt's time for the event you've all been waiting for...
The fashion show?
Hey! Stop foraging in my harvest hat!
No, Vanity. It's time for the Smurfberry Hunt!
The rules are the same as every year.
The Smurfwho brings back the most smurfberries before sundown wins!
Sorry, l didn't catch what she said.
l'm having trouble hearing her over the clanging of these victory medals
that l'm wearing from the past nine years of smurfberry hunts.
Yeah, ioke it up, laddy, because this is the year l'm going to win.
Ha, ha, ha, and ha!
That is the sound of me scoffing at the very notion of that impossibility.
Reporter Smurf with the Smurfíngton Post.
Brainy, you've won nine times in a row.
Do you think anyone has even a smurf of a chance against you?
Good question. Let me survey the competition.
No.
Looks like you'll all be treated to a new Brainy victory dance this year
as l am officially retiring the smurfomotion.
-Go, Brainy! -You're the best!
You're too kind!
-Thank you for your adulation! -You're awesome!
Crikey, what a showoff!
lt iust doesn't make any sense, him winning all these years.
l'm bigger, stronger, braver, and l don't wear any pants to slow me down.
There's something rotten in the state of Den-smurf,
and l'm gonna get to the bottom of it.
Let the games begin!
-Look, over there. -Holy Smurf, look at these berries.
-How's it going, Greedy? -Good!
-Hey there, Lazy! -Hey!
One!
l'm exhausted.
Easy there, Clueless Smurf.
That there's the old covered bridge that leads to Smurfy Hollow!
-The Headless Horseman lives over there! -Oh, l had no clue.
No one tells me anything.
There we go. Much better.
Smurfy Hollow?
l hate this spooky stuff.
Come on, Gutsy.
Your name is Gutsy, for Smurf's sake.
Why did it have to be bats?
Cripes...
Great Smurf!
He has his own secret stash!
He's been coming here every year, hogging all the bounty for himself!
The very notion of a Headless Horseman...
How would he navigate? He has no senses!
And if it rains, wouldn't his body fill with water?
The other Smurfs don't know how to think these things through.
Year after year, he's been making a fool of me!
But l've got an idea that's gonna put him right!
Just one more bucket, then l'm going home!
What was that?
Must have been a dead tree branch. It's quite common in windy conditions.
Just relax, Brainy. It must be a harmless animal,
maybe, like, a toothless field mouse or a legless weasel, or a...
What?
A tall zebra?
No! Horseman! l'm the Headless Horseman!
No, no, no, no! It can't be!
He's totally buying it!
l've been pumpkined!
lt worked!
lt's a berry bonanza!
Whose medal will be clankin' now?
That's right, little smurfberry! l've won fair and square!
Or at least, square.
What's that? Brainy? Oh, don't you worry, he'll be fine.
My glasses!
lt seems my frenzied sprinting and hysterical shrieking
was a shrewd course of action.
lt definitely smurfed me to safety.
Oh, boy! This cage has Gargamel written all over it.
All right, Smurfs! The Smurfberry Hunt is officially over!
Lazy, how many smurfberries did you get?
l have one.
Very good. That's two more than last year!
And what did you get, Vanity?
Even handsomer...
Hey! You again! Bad goat!
Stop it! Not my cornucopia.
And you, Greedy? How many did you get?
A lot.
Brainy! You've outdone yourself this year!
Think again, Papa.
-Gutsy? -Yes!
How do you like them smurfberries?
Well, this is unexpected.
-Consmurfulations, Gutsy! -This is unbelievable.
Gutsy has won the Smurfberry Hunt! Gutsy has won the Smurfberry Hunt!
We have a new champion!
That's right. And how about a victory dance?
-Gutsy! Gutsy! -Thank you!
Who's on top and who's on bottom now?
Good for you, Gutsy! You've truly earned this year's medal!
Yeah, of course l did.
-Why did you say it like that? -Like what?
-Nothing. -Hey, wait a minute!
What is it, Suspicious Smurf?
Where's Brainy?
lt's not like the reigning champ to not show up.
That's very strange indeed.
You don't think something happened to him out in the forest, do you?
-Do you think he got lost? -What if he fell in a ditch?
Maybe a legless weasel got him.
You know what, l think l might have spotted Brainy in the woods earlier.
l'll go and see if he needs help with his baskets, shall l?
Off l go. See you.
Oh, for Smurf's sake, why did he have to run away like that?
-Come on, Brainy! -Hey, Gutsy!
l mean...
Hey, what are you doing here, lass?
l thought l'd help you look for Brainy.
Where'd you see him, exactly?
-Oh, you know, he was iust over there... -By Smurfy Rock?
-No, no, more... You know, that way... -By Smurfy Creek?
No, not Smurfy Creek... More...
Why are you looking at me like that?
Stop grilling me, woman! l can't take it any more!
lt was iust a wee little prank, that's all.
A prank? What kind of prank?
lt may have involved a fake Headless Horseman...
-What? -l only wanted to teach him a lesson.
But he ran off like a banshee into Smurfy Hollow and...
Brainy is in Smurfy Hollow? Alone?
lt's almost dark. Come on!
l never should have gotten out of bed this morning...
Assuming a wooden bar has a circumference of 18 smurfimetres,
the force required to snap it would be precisely...
-Gutsy! Smurfette! -Oh, my Smurf, Brainy! Are you okay?
Well, l'm trapped 30 feet in the air in a sinister Gargamelian cage.
-This is not what ''okay'' looks like. -Yes, come on, come on.
Let's get him down from there and get out of this creepy forest.
Hold on, Gutsy. We need to think this through.
Yes, a classic Gargamel tactic is to set additional traps around...
We don't have time to overthink this!
Gutsy!
Now we've got plenty of time to overthink this.
-Do you think Papa's looking for us? -Not in Smurfy Hollow.
l hate to further complicate things, guys, but the Headless Horseman is out there.
Searching. Without senses. l know it defies all rational explanations.
-Gutsy? -Okay, fine.
-Yeah, he tricked you! -Sorry.
This is all your fault!
lt's not all my fault!
l'm not the one sneakin' around, keeping all the smurfberries for myself.
-Why you... -What was that?
lt's Azrael.
He's going to get Gargamel!
Oh, boy. What are we going to do?
Listen, guys. l have an idea. But it's gonna take guts and brains.
Do you think you two could work together?
Just one drop. l've got to be very precise.
Two drops would be bad.
Three drops...
l don't even know what three drops would do.
Azrael! Can't you see that l'm working?
Control yourself. Get off of me, you frenzied feline!
What did you say? How many?
Three! Excellent! Excellent! You wait here. You'll only get in my way!
l don't know where they are. Are you coming?
-Gutsy, do you have enough momentum? -Aye, Smurfette! l'm giving it all she's got.
Brainy, we need perfect coordination.
Yes! Gutsy, it's crucial that you shift your weight at exactly T minus zero.
-And when is that? -Just about now!
lt's working! It's also making me sick!
Brace yourselves!
Oh, no, Smurfette is still up there!
lt's okay. We still have time before Gargamel shows up.
Azrael!
Come on!
Do you even know where you're going?
Hello, Smurfs!
Wait. l thought you said there were three Smurfs.
Go look for the other two!
Why hello, my dear daughter.
Finally, we meet again, eh?
l always knew you would be returned to me someday.
You know, there's this magical new device called a toothbrush!
My grooming is perfectly up to 16th century standards. Thank you very much!
-Hey, Gargasmell! -There's a nose on your wart!
Why you!
Not bad!
Come on! Now's your chance!
Come here!
Stop! l'm horribly ticklish!
-What do we do? -l think we might be done here.
Goodbye! It was an honour smurfing with you.
Azrael, what is that?
What? What is a Hairless Horseman?
Oh, Headless.
Headless!
Crikey! He really does exist!
Wizards and children first!
He's gaining on us! We're doomed!
No, we're not! The legend says the Horseman is trapped in the Hollow!
Since when do you believe in legends?
Since they started chasing me with flaming pumpkins...
-So you're saying... -lf we can get to the bridge, we're safe!
Brilliant! You're a genius!
-We're never going to make it! -Yes, we will!
But we need better transportation!
l got you, laddy!
Come on! Climb aboard the red-eye!
Nice work, Smurfs.
We did it!
Azrael, look at that! He can't exit the Hollow!
What's the matter? Scared?
''Oh, l'm such a tough ghost! l can't even cross a tiny little bridge!''
What's that for?
Azrael!
Get off of me! Let go, you foul furball!
What? What is a ''water-ball''?
Azrael, are you dead?
l'm starting to like that Horseman.
Especially when he's riding away.
There you are! We were getting worried about you.
Now, Gutsy, are you ready to receive your medal?
That's nice and all but l think Brainy should have it.
Look, Brainy. l just want to say l'm sorry.
For scaring you like that and all.
lt's iust... l tried so hard every year, and you always won.
l'm sorry, too.
l shouldn't have kept all those smurfberries a secret.
And l may have gotten carried away with the whole winning thing.
Seems to me, laddy,
that we let winning a medal get in the way ofwhat's really important here.
-Family. -That's true.
See, you guys, when the two of you help each other,
well, that's what family is all about.
Still, you should have it.
Negative, l have not exactly been playing fair.
-No, come on now, lad! -No, you won.
-You should have it. -You take it!
-No, it has to be you! -No, it has to be you!
-You... -Just take it!
Lazy?
l win!
Lazy, how does it feel to be this year's Smurfberry Hunt champion?
Exhausting!
-Come here, ya big sook! -Okay, Gutsy...
-l love this wee little lad! -That's a little much...
Too much momentum!
Very nice.
Hey, Drummer Smurf, give me a beat.
Good iob getting them home safe. l guess l should change you back now.
You must be hungry.
Okay, let's go find Vanity's hat.
So the Headless Horseman was a goat?
Well, sure, l mean, what else could it have been?
Just to set the record straight,
Hefty was completely unscared the entire situation.
Really?
Not scared. Not even one little...
Hold me!
lt's iust a bat, Hefty.
Hey! Give a guy a break.
