List of The Smurfs characters

This is a list of The Smurfs characters appearing in the original comics series, television series, and the 2011 movie (as well as its sequels).

The Smurfs were also sold as collectible toys, and many of these characters were ideal from manufacturing and marketing points of view in that they had the same basic body plan but could be differentiated by one or two distinguishing accessories.

The Smurfs are all one family with 1 father and 99 kids. According to Spirou magazine N° 1354 from 1964, there are 100 Smurfs in total yet only 82 have been named.

In the cartoon series, this character was combined with that of Chef Smurf, where he enjoys baking and cooking, but eventually ends up eating his own creations, hence the name. He wears a chef's toque and apron in the comics; in the cartoon, instead of an apron he often wears a napkin around his neck.

In several episodes, Papa selects Hefty and Handy as leaders of separate teams in dangerous missions. (season 1: Smurfette's Dancing Shoes; season 4: Hopping Cough Smurfs)

Handy's immense knowledge/skills are demonstrated below:

In the cartoon, he looks like a normal Smurf, except he wears green-yellow gloves and has a small wax candle on the top of his dirty hat for illumination. He speaks with an Irish accent (often exclaiming "Faith and Begorrah!").
