A French town feels anything but blue after the community made good on its five-year-long quest to set a new world record for the largest gathering of people dressed as Smurfs. The unusual achievement reportedly occurred this past weekend in the village of Landerneau. The town previously tried for the title in 2020, but missed out on the record due to a technicality. A second attempt in 2023 saw the community come up short when torrential rain caused attendance to plummet. At the urging of Paramount Pictures, which is releasing a new Smurfs movie this summer, the town was convinced to take yet another shot at the record over the weekend, with the third time proving to be the charm.
