Next Saturday, June 25, 2011, will be Global Smurfs Day. This is in celebration of the birthday of Peyo, the creator of the Smurfs. Columbia Pictures in partnership with Sony Pictures Animation will hold Global Smurfs Day events all over the world in an attempt to break the Guinness World Records Title for the Largest Gathering of People Dressed as Smurfs within a 24-hour period. Additionally, it has also been confirmed that the "The Smurfs" will be released in theaters in the Philippines on August 10, 2011.
