The magic flute that appeared in the Smurfs cartoon show episode "Sleepwalking Smurfs " was a musical instrument owned by Madame Trilbee, a sorceress who outrightly despises Gargamel and refuses to have anything to do with him until he presented her with a fake cut-glass ruby. According to Trilbee, the flute when played causes those who are sleeping to rise to its tune and walk to wherever the tune was coming from.
