Smurfs (1981 TV series)/Season 7

Season 7 title screen.

Season 7, which aired from 1987 to 1988, introduced the character of Wild Smurf in a two-part introductory episode called "Smurf On The Wild Side". It was during this season that another Christmas special, "'Tis The Season To Be Smurfy", was aired.

This season marks the last to feature Johan and Peewit, as they were never mentioned or heard from again. It was also the last to introduce one-shot Smurfs exclusive to the series. Hanna-Barbera was clearly running out of ideas for new Smurfs and decided not to make any more for the following season. It was also the only season to hire Toei Animation (which animated the shows from Marvel Productions and the cutscenes of Sonic CD) as the additional overseas unit for a number of episodes. They were dropped afterwards.

The Season 7 intro sequence reuses several scenes from the Season 6 intro sequence.

Intro Sequence

The intro begins with a zoom-in through the Smurf Forest into the Smurf Village, where we see Smurfs doing their everyday things just as in the Season 6 intro until Gargamel, Azrael, and Scruple appear to cause the Smurfs to scatter. Then Wild Smurf comes swinging on a vine to grab a potion from Papa Smurf's hands and dumps it on Gargamel and Scruple as they run through the forest, causing them to shrink and separate from each other. Grandpa Smurf then pulls out his magic traveling hot-air balloon and he, Snappy, and Slouchy jump into it and begin to sail off when a storm cloud appears over them. Nat then feels raindrops as he is fishing, and a gust of wind blows the hot-air balloon until it sails through a narrow ravine and then through a colony of bees. A Smurf is seen bravely riding down a rough river on a log, and Papa Smurf leads a parade of Smurfs out into the forest, and a few Smurfs jump down through a hollowed log until a single Smurf is then seen heading for the SMURFS title log which materializes when he jumps on top of the mushroom.
