Overview

• Uwe Ochsenknecht will voice Papa Schlumpf in Die Schlümpfe: Der große Kinofilm and draws parallels between the character’s childlike curiosity and his own mindset.
• The complete German dubbing lineup includes Àlvaro Soler as No Name Schlumpf, Rick Kavanian doubling as Gargamel and Razamel, and Patricia Meeden as Schlumpfine.
• Pop star Rihanna leads the original cast as Schlumpfine and contributes her new song “Friend of Mine” to the film’s soundtrack.
• A highlight of the movie sees Papa Schlumpf behind a DJ console—an element Ochsenknecht connects to his experience as a teenage DJ.
• The animated feature blends musical set pieces with themes of age-defying vitality and opens in German cinemas on July 17.
