Return to Recap: The Smurfs.


A Smurf tries several different methods of flying — one with a big kite that he sails into the sky that suddenly turns stormy, one with a flying magic broom, etc.

Tropes associated with this story include

  • Floating in a Bubble: One of Flying Smurf's methods for attempting flight involved being blown up inside a bubble which floated in the air until a passing bird popped it and sent him falling down, crashing through the roof of a Smurf house.
  • Flying Broomstick: One of the Flying Smurf's attempts to fly is by creating one.
  • Hollywood Tone-Deaf: Brainy Smurf is shown to have the inability to sing, thus making it rain.
  • Impact Silhouette: Flying Smurf makes one on a Smurf house's roof when a bird accidentally pops a bubble he is floating around in.
  • Running Gag: After each of Flying Smurf's failed attempt, the Smurfs he has stolen something from come in line and ask for their things in order, and then a Smurf asks if they have seen his chicken.
