Character Name: Papa Smurf |
Papa Smurf is one of the main characters of the Smurfs cartoon show, who has appeared on the show throughout its entire run. His role is that of the village leader and the father figure of 100 or so young Smurfs, using his wisdom and his knowledge of magic to protect them from various forms of dangers that exist in the Smurf forest. He is identified by his red Smurf hat and pants and by a shortly-trimmed white beard and moustache.
His character was voiced by Don Messick.
Relationships with other Smurfs
Papa has a father/daughter relationship with Sassette, who calls him "Pappy".
Though in only one episode, "Romeo And Smurfette", Papa had expressed some amourous interest in Smurfette, this was never followed up on from that point onward.
Trivia
