The Smurfs & the Magic Flute

The Smurfs & the Magic Flute (La Flûte à six schtroumpfs) is an animated film from 1976, co-produced in France and Belgium, based on the comic strips created by French-Belgian cartoonist Pierre "Peyo" Culliford. It was directed by himself and Eddie Lateste, and released in France on October 7, 1976. It premiered in the United States on November 25, 1983, and was distributed by SEPP and Atlantic Rleasing Corporation.

Dubbing History
The film was dubbed twice; the original dub was done in the United Kingdom in 1979. Many of the character names are changed (for example, Johan and Peewit's names become John and William, respectively), and several Smurfs are called by the wrong names. While the voice cast was credited, it is unknown who voiced what character. This dub has been included on all American DVD releases, for reasons unknown.

It was not until the success of Hanna-Barbera's The Smurfs cartoon that the film began to gain widespread attention. In the early 1980s, Stuart R. Ross, head of First Performance Pictures Corporation, acquired the American rights to the film for $1,000,000. The English dubbing for the movie was not provided by the Hanna-Barbera cast members, but by non-union talent who were contributing at the time to American versions of imported anime. The North American release of Flute grossed US$11 million out of a maximum 432 venues, the highest on record for a non-Disney production until The Care Bears Movie in 1985, and was among Atlantic's all-time top five movies at the box office.
