Smurfs: The Lost Village is officially rated PG. Bontent's independent parent guide recommends it for ages 5+.

Smurfette and her friends set out to find a hidden community of Smurfs before the villainous Gargamel can reach them first. The film is rated PG for mild cartoon action and comic peril, including a brief moment of emotional sadness that may require reassurance for younger viewers. It is a gentle, animated adventure…

There is no sexual content or nudity featured in this film. It maintains a strictly G-rated tone appropriate for very young children, focusing entirely on a whimsical fantasy adventure. No romantic subplots or suggestive jokes are present.

Mild cartoon peril — Gargamel's traps and comic chases. A sacrifice/'revival' beat may briefly worry little kids. No blood.

The film contains no profanity or harsh language. Characters occasionally use mild insults like 'numbskull' or 'blockhead,' which are directed at the bumbling villain. The dialogue is safe for preschool and elementary school audiences.

No alcohol, tobacco, or illegal drugs are shown or referenced in this animated world. The characters do not engage in any substance use, and there are no scenes depicting adult social drinking. The focus remains on magical potions and natural fantasy elements.

Identity, self-worth, and friendship — Smurfette discovers who she is. Fully animated and gentle; among the youngest-skewing here.

Smurfs: The Lost Village runs 90 minutes, directed by Kelly Asbury, released in 2017.
