"Global Smurfs Day was celebrated on Saturday (June 22). Events took place in 42 different countries to celebrate the birthday of Peyo, the creator of The Smurfs comic strips. The international celebration was also to promote The Smurfs 2, which is to be released in July.   Fans in countries such as the UK, America, China, New Zealand and Ukraine all took part and dressed up as their favourite Smurfs characters. Stars from the film, including Neil Patrick Harris, made an appearance at some of the events, with Right Said Fred performing at the UK celebrations at Westfield shopping centre.  There was also a Smurfs train running from Brussels to Paris, where the second film was shot.  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
