Film director Chris Miller held Smurfs toys, and other cast members at the premiere included James Corden and Dan Levy. Many of the guests wore a shade of Smurf-ish blue.

The movie premieres in the U.S. on July 18.

Belgian comics artist Peyo created the Smurfs — known in Belgium as ″Schtroumpfs″ — and the city of Brussels embraced the premiere with a weekend of events.

It took place in central Brussels, not far from a Smurfs museum. The city’s famed Mannekin Pis statue was dressed for the occasion as No Name Smurf. The city’s Grand-Place held Smurf-themed events all weekend, and tourist buses and train cars were decorated in blue.
