Did you know

• Jonathan Winters' final performance. He died of natural causes just nine days after his final recording session and this film was dedicated to his memory.

• A third film was planned for a 2014 or 2015 release. However, due to this movie's "underwhelming" box-office performance (it earned over $348 million worldwide), and the death of Jonathan Winters, the idea of another sequel was scrapped in favor of developing Smurfs: The Lost Village (2017), a completely animated reboot, which somewhat uses the plot that "The Smurfs 3" would've had. Ironically, it did only half of the worldwide business that this movie did.

• When Gargamel says that Smurfette is his daughter, he then says, "Search your feelings, you know it to be true", quoting Darth Vader's speech from Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980).
