In 1958, Peyo created the popular The Smurfs and they first appeared on a Belgium comic Johan and Peewit story "La Flûte à six trous". In 1965, a 90-minute animated film was made called Les Aventures des Schtroumpfs (in English:The Adventures of the Smurfs). It was the first animated production to feature The Smurfs, but eleven years later The Smurfs and the Magic Flute was released afterwards to successful box office returns. It was divided into five segments and was in black and white. Parts of the film can be seen on display at the Belgian Comic Strip Center.
