The latest attempt to jumpstart the iconic Smurfs franchise back to boxoffice life, Smurfs, will be perfectly acceptable fodder to keep the kiddies amused, and because of its original 80’s Saturday Morning cartoon series just might provide enough nostalgia to make it bearable for their parents.

Rihanna has a special childhood connection to her role in the upcoming Smurfs movie.

ScreenRant interviews Smurfs director Chris Miller about Rihanna’s involvement in the sequel as a producer and star of the rebooted franchise.

The filmmaker is responsible for bringing the blue crew back to the big screen for another adventure with a star-studded cast, including John Goodman as Papa Smurf alongside James Corden, Nick Offerman, Natasha Lyonne, Dan Levy, Sandra Oh and Hannah Waddingham.

Rihanna revealed her go-to karaoke song and its connection to her latest role in the 'Smurfs' movie, in which she plays Smurfette, while attending the film's world premiere in Brussels on June 28.

Rihanna will have heavy involvement in the next Smurfs movie, including her role to voice Smurfette, following in another singer's footsteps.

The very pregnant 37-year-old icon walked the blue carpet at the Paramount Theater with her two sons, RZA, 2, and Riot, 1. The film, which hears Rihanna voice the character Smurfette, was celebrated with the cast and a few life-size Smurfs making an appearance.

Rihanna hit the “Smurfs” premiere with an adorable son on each arm.
