Papa Smurf is the deuteragonist of The Smurfs franchise. At 542 years old (546 in the movie) is the third-oldest Smurf after Grandpa and Nanny, and well above the typical age of the other Smurfs, which are approximately 100 years old.
In the original French version, Papa Smurf's name is "Le Grand Schtroumpf", which could be translated as "the Great Smurf" or "the Big Smurf". His name could also be interpreted as "Le Grand Père", French for grandfather, which is consistent with his elderly appearance and paternal ways.
In the Hanna-Barbera cartoon series, he was voiced by the late Don Messick. In the first two Smurf movies, he was voiced by the late Jonathan Winters. In the 2017 movie, he was voiced by Mandy Patinkin.
