Fun random fact, the tool used to animate the smurfs hats in 3 out of 4 CG smurfs films, was actually created for Doctor Manhattan’s junk for the original Watchmen film.

Sounds like a joke. Spring rigs and soft body physics have been included in various cg animation software for decades at this point.

I feel like there's more entertaining detail you're leaving out here.

		Not much else tbh. It was just originally made to simulate a thing with an attachment at one point and that flaps around on the other. So his junk was the original because animators didn’t want to spend time animating it, but it naturally extends to floppy Smurf hats.
