The Smurfs 2 is a 2013 American live-action animated fantasy adventure comedy film loosely based on The Smurfs comic book series created by the Belgian comics artist Peyo. It serves as the sequel to the 2011 film The Smurfs, as well as the second installment of Sony Pictures Animation's Smurfs film series. The film was again directed by Raja Gosnell from a screenplay written by Karey Kirkpatrick and the writing teams of J. David Stem and David N. Weiss, and Jay Scherick and David Ronn, and a story conceived by the latter four. The entire main cast reprised their roles from the first film. New cast members include Christina Ricci and J. B. Smoove as members of the Naughties, Brendan Gleeson as Patrick Winslow's stepfather, and Jacob Tremblay as Blue Winslow.
