While his stories are sometimes disbelieved or overshadowed by Nanny 's, the Smurfs are often engaged in what he has to share. This storytelling skill becomes both a blessing and a curse in " A Long Tale For Grandpa ", as Grandpa telling a story is to blame for the massive delay in stopping the Rera Aphids from eating their way to the village, but later the same habit spares him and the others the gruesome fate of being eaten by a Grundel.
Grandpa is quick to blame himself for serious situations he could've prevented, often becoming guilt-ridden. He avoids telling Papa or the other Smurfs that he failed to collect the element samples at first, using his time to observe Smurf Village on its presumed final day or so of peace.
When the Smurfs quickly build Grandpa his own house and give him housewarming gifts, he becomes very emotional. He then tells them they "never should've done [that]", as he believes he doesn't deserve anything of the sort. When he finally opens up to Papa and tells him the heavy news, the two form a group and retrieve the elements together, returning mere minutes before they could all perish.
After the elements are added to the stone, Grandpa ages so rapidly he collapses, only to be revived by the stone's fast replenishment and the tears of mourning Smurfs. Grandpa also blamed himself for the loss of Nanny Smurf after she disappeared along with the vile Castle Captor. When the castle reappears and he finds Nanny again, he admits that losing her was the "biggest failure of [his] life", despite the two pinning the blame on each other at first. Despite being stubborn, Grandpa can become very self-conscious over some aspects of himself, especially being an elderly Smurf.
On more than one occasion, Grandpa doubts himself after the Smurfs accuse him of having a faulty memory or being frail in his old age. It's easy for him to temporarily agree with such accusations and wallow in sadness, as seen in episodes like " The Royal Drum " and " The Smurfstalker ". By the end of those adventures, however, the others are proven wrong and Grandpa saves the day once again.
Grandpa and Papa Smurf are particularly close, like father and son. He serves as his mentor and offers criticism on his leadership when needed, such as in "Smurfquest", where he stops Papa from lecturing Sassette by reminding him there was a time where he misbehaved as a Smurfling. He and Papa also share the trait of keeping important information or reveals a secret if it could end very badly for any Smurf emotionally or otherwise. Grandpa was also the first Smurf he ever told about Wild Smurf 's disappearance as a baby.
Grandpa has a grandfather-granddaughter relationship with Sassette, who affectionately calls him "Grampy". Sassette is often the Smurfling with the most faith in Grandpa, rushing to his defense when her fellow Smurfs treat him unfairly. Grandpa also has a very close relationship with Nanny Smurf, and coincidentally she even calls him "Grampers". In their first scene together, Grandpa claims he searched "every inch of [the] area" Castle Captor was in for over a hundred years, but never saw it again.
After Grandpa swipes a "surprise" box away from Nanny, she makes an unhappy remark about not even getting a box of smurfberry candy after years, as she loves receiving gifts and assumed it was one for her. This could imply that they were romantically involved before they were separated, but it's never clearly stated or shown otherwise.
It's unknown just how long Grandpa and Nanny knew each other before she was imprisoned inside Castle Captor. However, given that Grandpa was determined to not tell anyone even Papa himself of her existence and to make the rescue mission his alone, this makes it very likely that he never planned on revealing such history. That is, until he was finally able to save her himself, with the added benefit of having the current Smurf Village to introduce her to.
Grandpa has an archenemy in the appropriately named Nemesis , as revealed in " Grandpa's Nemesis ". However, he does at times take issue with Lazy's slothfulness, Jokey 's mischievous behavior, Brainy 's endless talking, and Clumsy 's klutziness, among other things his little Smurfs do which try his patience. Despite having to deal with their personalities, Papa Smurf loves the Smurfs to the point where he will do everything in his power to protect them from evil beings that want to do harm unto them, and he will also protect them from themselves whenever disputes and situations arise.
As Papa tries to spare every Smurf's feelings unless it's necessary, he has the tendency to keep something secret if he feels that addressing it would extremely upset or distress any of them. A great example of this is the episode, " Dreamy's Pen Pals ", which reveals Papa had been keeping Dreamy 's belief in 'Planet Swoof' the fictional planet Papa "created" to deceive him in " The Astro Smurf " alive through replying to his constant letters as the Swoofs.
After this was discovered by Brainy and Clumsy, Papa explains that it was all started after the events of the original adventure in an attempt to avoid hurting Dreamy.
That is, until he finally finds out the truth later in the episode. Another great example of this behavior is " A Gift For Papa's Day ", where Papa pretends to love the bizarre new hat the Smurfs made for him. He tries to get rid of the gift with little success and refuses to tell them how he really feels about it in a very passive-aggressive fashion. Both fortunately and unfortunately for Papa, the Smurfs never seem to catch on to his hatred of the hat. By the end, he happily no longer wears it, as it was turned into a trophy in honor of playing the main role in rescuing a group of Smurfs whom ironically got captured trying to retrieve his "stolen" hat in the forest from Gargamel.
Papa Smurf also never told the Smurfs about Grandpa Smurf and his departure from the village despite his limited memory regarding why he left at the time before the events of " Smurfquest ", nor had he told anyone but Grandpa about his sorrows regarding Wild Smurf 's disappearance as a baby before the events of " Smurf On The Wild Side ". Papa unintentionally sums up this behavior well in " All The News That's Fit To Smurf ", where he doesn't want Reporter to hear of and thus share what he is about to tell only Grandpa, claiming "There is some news that's not fit to smurf.
At least, not now". However, in that instance, his reason for not wanting the Smurfs to learn of something was to prevent them from getting into serious danger. Interestingly, Grandpa seems to have a similar issue, as he initially avoids telling Papa and the other Smurfs that he wasn't able to gather the element samples after he returned, due to the sheer weight of the news and the guilt he felt from his failure.
Papa Smurf was responsible for transforming Smurfette from a creation of Gargamel into a real Smurf, though the method for doing so varied depending on the media: in the comic books, Papa Smurf used "plastic smurfery", while in the cartoon show, the Smurfs movie, and Smurfs: The Lost Village , he used magic. Though, in only one episode from Season 1 of the cartoon show, " Romeo And Smurfette " as well as the comic of the same name , Papa Smurf expressed some amorous interest in Smurfette.
This also goes for a scene in the special " Smurfily Ever After ", where it's implied Smurfette considers Papa as an option for marriage, before she dismisses the idea with a "nah" and leaves his home. In " The Jewel Smurfer ", Papa Smurf still seem to harbor some degree of romantic feelings for Smurfette, as shown in the final panel of the said comic where he was about to present to Smurfette a bouquet of flowers while bearing a nervous look.
In the cartoon show, Papa Smurf's apprentice or assistant-- the two terms seem to be used interchangeably in this case and one of his biggest admirers is Brainy. He is known for parroting quotations of Papa's, eventually branching off into writing his own and using both to pester the Smurfs. Brainy also 'supervises' the others and informs Papa of any disobedience he witnesses on a daily basis, acting as the village tattletale.
In the " The Smurf's Apprentice " episode, Papa declines Clumsy's offer to be his assistant, as Brainy is "more than enough". Brainy once referred to his own assistant role as "self-appointed" in " Born Rotten ", implying Papa Smurf himself didn't assign him the job.
Papa tries to support Brainy in most of his endeavors if it will make him happy. However, he is often unsure if that is always the right thing to do, such as allowing his apprentice a three-day test run of a village time schedule in " Tick Tock Smurfs ".
Brainy's constant struggle with improvement and recklessness also poses a big issue, leading Papa to admit he'd briefly been considering getting a new apprentice in " The Gingerbread Smurfs ":. Their relationship becomes even more strained by the end of the series most notably the ninth season , with Papa Smurf often openly expressing any frustration he feels toward Brainy instead of trying to approach it with a patient or gentle attitude.
That was usually Papa's best attempt to avoid yelling at Brainy, although his apprentice had pushed him to such a boiling point more than once before. One Smurf that Papa Smurf is especially supportive of is Clumsy. He considers Clumsy's sensitivity and recognizes that his clumsiness is not naturally controllable, rarely getting angry at him for such accidents.
Papa often defends Clumsy and urges the Smurfs to give him a fair chance in everyday group activities, such as smurfball games. When Papa Smurf was given the news that Clumsy had presumably died in " Clumsy Luck ", he sat on a mushroom and sobbed, mourning "[his] poor Clumsy".
After it's revealed he is alive and well, Papa cries tears of joy and claims he's "never been so happy to see a Smurf in [his] life". He is often seen carrying Baby around, reading to him, and occasionally acting silly to entertain the infant usually when Smurfs like Brainy aren't watching. Due to odd events, he appears to be one of the only Smurfs to have somewhat figured out that Baby has magical powers. Overall, he is very set on Baby Smurf being the one to take on his role as Papa Smurf in the future.
The other Smurflings view him as the other Smurfs do since they are de-aged Smurfs. Much like Papa with Baby, he is sometimes seen playing with the Smurflings or participating in their silliness. Apparently, so did Nanny Smurf when she went out into the forest to find more yarn though, Papa and her acted as if they had never met before in "Lost Smurf".
Grandpa Smurf serves as an adviser to Papa Smurf, having more knowledge of the world and wisdom than even him, while Nanny has a more matronly role towards the village leader. In " Papa's Wedding Day " he had fallen in love with Flowerbell the woodnymph, whom he thought genuinely loved him and made him feel young again, but his heart became broken when he found out she was just using him so Lord Balthazar could capture him in exchange for her freedom.
Nevertheless, he learned a valuable lesson that a person is only as old as they think they are, and the best way to stay young is to appreciate and enjoy what one has in their lives. In fact, he first met Johan and Peewit in the original comic book story "The Smurfs And The Magic Flute" when they sought the Smurfs' help in retrieving a magic flute that the Smurfs were also looking for that fell into the hands of a thief named Oilycreep , and assisted in his eventual capture, with Papa Smurf serving as a translator to the humans for whatever the Smurfs spoke to him in Smurf.
The human friend Papa is closest to is Homnibus, as he often visits the enchanter's home, usually to play a game of chess or checkers or deliver a magic-related item to him.
The two are also occasionally seen stargazing and watching meteor showers in episodes such as "Clumsy Luck" and " Land Of Lost And Found ". However, knowing the evil nature that lies within the hearts of humans, Papa often warns the Smurfs not to act like them and disciplines them when they do, such as in the King Smurf comic and the cartoon episode " Revenge Of The Smurfs ".
Ironically, the depth of Papa's character and life experiences make him the most human of the Smurfs, next to Grandpa. Regardless of the evil that Gargamel and others such as Hogatha , Chlorhydris , and Balthazar commit against him or the village, Papa Smurf refuses to return evil of any kind unto humans, including his main adversary.
This is Papa's way of showing the Smurfs the virtue of kindness even unto those that don't deserve it. Despite this, Papa does occasionally allow the Smurfs or himself to teach villains a rather mean or dangerous lesson after causing trouble.
He just has no wish for them to be outright killed or cursed for life, though sometimes the leader is left with no other choice. Uh oh! Very Smurfy Non-canon warning : This article or section contains non-canonical information that is not considered to be an official part of either the Smurfs Franco-Belgian comic book series or the s Smurfs cartoon show series and should not be considered part of the overall storyline of either.
Papa Smurf appears as a fictional character come to life in the cartoon show crossover " Cartoon All-Stars To The Rescue ", and he is the first to notice that Corey 's piggy bank is missing, so he calls his little Smurfs to assist him.
Prior to this, during the Blue Moon Festival , Papa Smurf had seen in a vision Clumsy Smurf seemingly failing to catch a dragon wand and all his little Smurfs captured in cages by Gargamel.
As Papa Smurf wanted to prevent Clumsy from fulfilling this vision, he had him stay behind with Grace Winslow in the Winslows' apartment during their stay in New York City while he and the other Smurfs went with Patrick Winslow in search of a "stargazer".
While the other Smurfs were mostly annoying and unhelpful with Patrick's line of work, Papa Smurf helps him find confidence in himself as a father and a husband.
