==The Special==
In 1969, TV Dupuis made a '''TV special starring The Smurfs which adapted Peyo's comic ''La Schtroumpfette''''' (''The Smurfette'' in English) which was serialized on Spirou Magazine, and published in 1967.

The only known information was that it was made by the same producer of the 1961 TV Series with some of the same production crew.
 
''La Schtroumpfette'' would also mark Smurfette's first animated appearance before the 1981 Hannah-Barbera series (and in one of the 1978 National Benzole commercials featuring The Smurfs). Unlike the 1961 series, no existing screenshots of the 1969 TV special exists. Due to very little information about the special's history, it became the most obscure adaptation of Peyo's work and is completely forgotten in Belgium.

''La Schtroumpfette'' would also have been Smurfette's first animated appearance before the 1981 Hannah-Barbera series. Unlike the 1961 series, no existing screenshots of the 1969 TV special exists. Due to very little information about ''La Schtroumpfette'''s history, it eventually became the most obscure adaptation of Peyo's work and is forgotten even in Belgium.
