* DidntThinkThisThrough: The fear of saying "kaplowey" causes everyone in the village to become depressed and unwilling to do much of anything. Jokey tries to lighten the mood with his trademark gag, only to pick the absolute worst possible target: Grouchy.

Meantime, Gargamel is also seeking the chamber and the scroll, whose powers are as-of-yet unknown to him. Once Papa Smurf agrees with the other Smurfs that the scroll needs to be returned (after causing problems), Gargamel takes it to his hovel to try to learn its powers. Later, the Smurfs return to the chamber to destroy the scroll and reverse its effects, only to find it gone.

Indeed, they arrive ... just as Gargamel has translated the scroll and discovered the correct word that will allow him to wipe things out of existence. Just as Gargamel is about to consecrate his plans, the Smurfs shout out "KAPLOWEY!" to wipe out the front door of Gargamel's hovel ... then, before Gargamel has a chance to react, they "kaplowey" the scroll ... causing Jokey and Fly to reappear. Then, just as the Smurfs are hightailing it out of the area, Gargamel is forced to go on the defensive, stumbling over a sack of flour that had been "kaploweyed" earlier before he yells out "KAPLOWEY!" again ... making it rain. Gargamel cries in frustration as the Smurfs hightail it home.

* AnAesop: Among several, the power of one word said in anger, or rant uttered thoughtlessly can have devastating consequences. This is illustrated perfectly when Grouchy, having lost his patience with Jokey's surprise boxes, "kaploweys" him out of existence ... and then realizes that Jokey might be dead because of his actions.

Clumsy comes across a scroll in a hidden underground chamber which Papa Smurf translates as having the magic word "kaplowey" which makes things disappear, including Smurfs. Some Smurfs couldn't resist using the word to get rid of things they didn't want around, although it ended up causing other problems.

to:

Have you ever been so angry and frustrated with something that you want to shout it out loud ... and just one word holds the power to make that something go away forever?

"Kaplowey!"

That's the word the Smurfs learn could hold grave consequences, especially if uttered in anger ... or if Gargamel gets to the scroll first and learns the word that could render their species extinct in a matter of moments ... in "'''The Kaplowey Scroll'''."

As we open, Gargamel reveals to Azrael he has obtained a map containing directions to a secret Wizard's Chamber. Inside contains a magic scroll that he says will allow him to become the most powerful wizard on earth. Why, you dare ask? It seems the scroll has powers that, once translated, will allow its bearer to utter a powerful word ... one that Gargamel says will allow him to kill all the Smurfs once and for all.

Meanwhile,
Clumsy comes stumbles across a scroll in a hidden underground chamber -- the Wizard's Chamber -- which contains a mysterious scroll. Papa Smurf translates as having the magic word "kaplowey" which makes things disappear, including Smurfs. Some Papa Smurf realizes that the scroll, which is now in their power, holds potentially devastating powers and warns them never to utter "that word," going so far as to ask the Smurfs couldn't to police themselves in not using the word. Some Smurfs, however, are unable to resist using the word to get rid of things they didn't want around, although it ended up causing other problems.
a wide variety of problems that come to a head when Grouchy -- having lost his patience with Jokey when he is the butt of his latest "joke box" -- shouts out "KAPLOWEY!" ... causing Jokey to disappear ... perhaps permanently.



Which they do, and just in time.

Indeed, they arrive ... just as Gargamel has translated the scroll and discovered the correct word that will allow him to wipe things out of existence. Just as Gargamel is about to consecrate his plans, the Smurfs shout out "KAPLOWEY!" to wipe out the front door of Gargamel's hovel ... then, before Gargamel has a chance to react, they "kaplowey" the scroll ... causing Jokey and Fly to reappear. Then, just as the Smurfs are hightailing it out of the area, Gargamel is forced to go on the defensive, stumbling over a sack of flour that had been "kaploweyed" earlier before he yells out "KAPLOWEY!" again ... making it rain. Gargamel cries in frustration as the Smurfs hightail it home.



* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: Papa Smurf and the other Smurfs catch Gargamel and Azrael off guard when they arrive, just as the villains have realized the power of the word "kaplowey" and are consecrating their plans, "kaploweying" the scroll, causing Jokey, Fly and other items that had been "kaploweyed" earlier to reappear and ... in a final adding of insult to injury, making it rain on top of Gargamel.
