Yes, Peyo's family agreed to this. Its some sort of anti-war ad in Belgium where the Smurfs' village gets bombed and the last frame shows a crying Baby Smurf in the ruins of the village surrounded by dead Smurf bodies, then it shows the message "Don't let war affect the lives of children."

There's a video here, but the streaming sucks so it's more like a slide show:

If this ad makes a few more people aware of what wars actually do, then more power to it.

Wow. That's some wild, wacky stuff. Gargamel's not pulling his punches anymore I guess. I hope the first bomb hit Brainy.

The merciless attack on the Smurfs by Uniceif is hoirrible. They can't not go unpunished. It's time for the Cartoon Nations to stop sitting around and do something!

kinda interesting they use a cartoon that's explosions never kill anyone, and at most sizzle leaving you scorched.

Ok, well I'm not sure what I just saw there but The Smurfs had it coming but I can see what war does to children.

Yeah, the first thing that'll happen is ZAFT will launch thier MS and Shin will end up squashing the whole village as he lands.
