Brainy Smurf and Kermit Clock in Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue
The Smurfs were created by the Belgian comic artist Peyo in 1958. The race of little blue people later starred in a successful Hanna-Barbera animated series, which ran from 1981 until 1990.
Some of the Smurfs, including Papa Smurf and Brainy, appeared with the Muppet Babies in the 1990 animated television special Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue.
