Realising they’ve lost their children, Grandmother Smoo and Grandpa Smed are compelled to work together to try to find the young couple. So the desperate Janet and Bill sneak away to escape in the Smed’s red rocket to explore the universe together. When their families find out they could not be more horrified. But Janet and Bill sneak out to meet up secretly and as they grow up they fall in love. The red Smeds never mix with the Smoos, who are blue, so when a chance encounter allows young Smed Janet to become friends with Bill, a young Smoo, their families immediately try to stop it. On a far-off planet, two families always avoid each other. If you haven’t read the popular children’s book yet, here is a guide to the story… He's a kindly old grandpa who cares about his family, I think that's the best way to describe him." What is The Smeds and The Smoos plot? And he's sort of a little bit of a stick in the mud, really, but he's kind. And he's quite sort of traditional, and a bit stuck in his ways. "Grandpa Smed, he's the kind of patriarch of the Smed family, and he's very much the kind of protector of the family, and he's in charge. And actually, sometimes it takes the younger generation to sort of breach that divide. "I think the thing I get from it is that the older generation tend to be more resistant to change.
Bill Bailey, who plays Grandfather Smed, added: "I think the main themes of the film are that we should just accept differences in others.
