Sandra Oh recalls a full circle moment with The Smurfs, says "the memories run deep"

Sandra Oh admitted that being a part of the film was a sentimental journey

Sandra Oh, known for her role in Grey's Anatomy, is gearing up for the release of the most anticipated upcoming animated film, The Smurfs. She will portray the role in the new The Smurfs movie, a bold reimagining of the beloved franchise set in Paris. She has recently recalled a full-circle moment with the film.

The Emmy-winner Sandra Oh recalled her childhood days in Canada when she dressed in blue and sang her heart out in a school play. She shared, “In one of my first school plays, I was a Smurf and sang a little song,”

The actress has further admitted that being a part of the film was a sentimental journey back to her childhood in Canada, where she read the original French comics by Belgian artist Peyo.

She said, “I grew up reading The Smurfs comics in the original French.” She added, “So yes, I’m an O.G. Smurf fan. There’s something timeless about them—maybe it’s their shape, or maybe just the fact that they’re blue. Either way, the memories run deep.”

For the unversed, Sandra’s character Moxie is a cunning and quick-witted leader of a secret group of activist Smurfs. She is a new addition to the Smurf universe.
