Why does Rihanna's Smurf movie go kinda hard?
Briefly

Rihanna stars as Smurfette in an upcoming Smurfs movie, which features a vibrant animation style and classic themes of cute creatures exploring the real world. The plot revolves around Smurfs learning about modern life, with humorous references to contemporary culture, such as Uber Eats and DJ Khaled. The animation has received positive feedback for its painterly blend of 2D and 3D techniques, providing a magical feel to Smurf Village. A talented cast, including John Goodman and Nick Offerman, adds to the film's appeal, which is set for release on July 18.
Unlike the uncanny Smurfs in the 2011 movies, the animation style of the new film is a cool, almost painterly blend of 2D and 3D, making Smurf Village look downright magical.
Rihanna voices Smurfette and her rendition of 'Heaven is a Place on Earth' adds a contemporary touch to the film, which is filled with humor and relatable references.
