The Smurfs

In the beginning, Azrael is seen talking to Gargamel who wants the Smurf esscense so his magic could become invincible. In the forest, they see Clumsy Smurf picking Smurf roots and Azrael chases him to the magic wall which protects the Smurf Village. To make sure it's safe, Gargamel throws Azrael into the wall and asks him if he's dead which Azrael meows. They attack the village and try to catch the Smurfs. Azrael is tricked by Gutsy Smurf and crushed by Gargamel after he is hit by a giant log. When the Smurfs go into the Forbidden Falls, Gargamel and Azrael follow them but the Smurfs jump into a portal which takes them to New York. Gargamel and Azrael follow them by jumping into the portal. Azrael chases the Smurfs up to a tree and grabs Smurfette by the hair but she kicks him. Azrael chases Clumsy but falls into a box and Patrick Winslow takes the box away making the other Smurfs follow him. Later, Gargamel sits on a bench and Azrael vomits out a lock of Smurfette's hair. They go to Belvedere Castle in Central Park where Gargamel creates a machine that extracts the esscense. While searching for the Smurfs, they come across Anjelou company where Patrick works and they meet Odile Anjelou after Gargamel restores her mother's youth. Later, they chase Patrick to FAO Schwartz toy store where Gargamel steals a leaf blower to capture the Smurfs but it backfires when Azrael gets stuck and Patrick presses the reverse button. Later, Gargamel gets more esscense and look for the Smurfs in the antique bookstore. Papa Smurf is kidnapped and taken to Belvedere Castle to extract more esscense. Smurfette arrives, battles Azrael, and traps him in a cage which makes him lose part of ear. Near the end, when Gagamel gets hit by a bus, Azrael gets back at him by saying "Are you dead?" In the post-credit scenes, Azrael is seen with Gargamel who blasts the audience with his wand.
