Set to broadcast in two one-hour films, this family treat is inspired by the classic books of Barbara Euphan Todd and is pegged to be the TV event of the season. Mackenzie Crook has taken Scatterbrook farm and the infamous characters of this well-loved tale and injected them with a tender and authentic charm. This is the perfect family adventure, packed with a fun, mischievous spirit and delivered with an environmental message.
Mackenzie Crook, (Pirates Of The Caribbean, Detectorists) who has written, directed and stars as Worzel Gummidge, has gathered a host of both accomplished and brilliant actors who are set to appear in this eagerly anticipated adaptation.
Playing The Green Man, creator of the scarecrows, who arrives to Scatterbrook in episode two, is comedy legend Sir Michael Palin. He says: “It’s a lovely part for me, but the whole script is very memorable and touching, and very funny too. It quite skillfully weaves in something for everybody all the time.”
Zoë Wanamaker (My Family, Harry Potter And The Philosophers Stone) will play the eccentric local aristocrat, Lady Bloomsbury Barton in episode two. She says: “The whole thing is so charming and inventive. It’s the sort of thing I’d watch. I’m sure it will be a huge success. I know it will - it’s divine.”
Vicki Pepperdine (Getting On, The Windsors) takes on the role of the formidable Aunt Sally in episode one. She says: “There’s something for everybody. It’s got this heart to it, and you’d be hard pushed as an adult not to engage with it.”
Steve Pemberton (League Of Gentleman, Benidorm) will play Mr Braithwaite, the farmer. He says: “This is the kind of show the whole family can enjoy together. It has a lot of humour, a lot of visual humour too, and I think kids will enjoy watching the children being central to the story.”
Rosie Cavaliero (Gentleman Jack, Cleaning Up) will play Mrs Braithwaite, she added: “It’s a story about the imagination, and children escaping into this different world. Mackenzie’s version is totally contemporary.”
Ones to watch India Brown (Hetty Feather) and Thierry Wickens (making his TV debut) will play Susan and John, two city children spending their summer at Scatterbrook farm who quickly befriend Worzel and begin a summer of adventures.
The first episode, The Scarecrow Of Scatterbrook, sees two young strangers arrive in the village of Scatterbrook. It’s not long before Susan and John encounter Worzel Gummidge, the Scarecrow of Ten Acre Field. Their world is sent spinning into confusion when they realise Gummidge comes to life. The only person more shocked is Worzel, when he discovers that the children are not in fact fellow scarecrows but humans.
Their worlds should never commune but fate has conspired to create an extraordinary union. The seasons have stopped and the harvest hasn’t arrived. The rhythm of the natural world is out of kilter and this unlikely trio must try to put it right. Magic, mystery and mayhem unfurl.
The second episode, The Green Man, welcomes another mysterious arrival to Scatterbrook. The Green Man is the creator of scarecrows and keeper of scarecrow lore. He isn’t at all happy that Worzel is consorting with humans. Elsewhere, local aristocrat Lady Bloomsbury Barton is holding a fete, with a Scarecrow competition that Worzel is determined to win. What will The Green Man and Worzel's most competitive rival, Soggy Bogart make of it all?
Worzel Gummidge is written and directed by Mackenzie Crook and is a Leopard Pictures, Treasure Trove Productions and Lola Entertainment production for BBC One. It is Executive Produced by Kristian Smith for Leopard Pictures, Lisa Thomas for Lola Entertainment, Mackenzie Crook for Treasure Trove Productions, with rights holders Patrick D. Pidgeon and Eric S. Rollman executive producers for Pidgeon Entertainment, Inc. It is produced by Georgie Fallon and Alex Moody is the Commissioning Editor for the BBC.

还挺有意思的，孩子很喜欢，时空穿梭是每个人的梦想吧。
创意不错，感觉比一般的国产电影高级一些。反正四岁的孩子很喜欢，就值了。
受众应该是5岁左右的孩子，教育意义也有，集体生活，朋友，二胎背景下兄妹的矛盾、磨合和困境中的温情
【3.5】看的时候一直很难过，情节贯彻字面意义的“疼痛青春”，也围绕错位做了构建，呈现出反向的、跳跃的类型弧线，说着“能否一直喜欢我？”却不用任何回答，在自毁中找寻爱。但还是觉得一切算不上新鲜，可能《热情花招》真是个里程碑。
我说浩宝的那段rap怎么突然那么专业还有点熟悉
还不错，儿童电影我侄女看得很开心，叙事有点乱太小可能理解不了，安德配音就感觉王也在撒娇😂
黄毛前辈反而是最让人在意的，莫名其妙就被杀了，说他干了什么吧在电影里却约等于什么都没干
皮特好帅，查宁也挺帅hhhhh 很普通典型的搞笑爱情片，看预告就知道是什么故事了，但最近还挺想看看这种没什么营养的片子，和预料的一样
周末带娃看了这个，挺好的创意（物种灭绝），挺好的教育意义（哪种动物在何时灭绝，以及各个年代都发生了哪些影响世界的大事），可惜普通话版本翻译的太差了，我猜译者是20+或30+，普通话版本中太多网络词汇了，这是给孩子看的动画片啊，孩子们哪懂网络语言啊，而且这网络语言能做到信、达、雅么？有原声，我肯定以后带娃要选原声！
本来是一个豪华阵容，结果整的好像山寨片似的，皮特走走过场，表现还是不错的，桑姐那身闪闪发光的衣服成为光环，同时也暴露桑姐的弱点，无厘头搞笑探险，当觉得非常无厘头还是看完了，是不是也说明成功了！最后感慨，豪华阵容也白瞎了！
2021.10.3 来新开的奥体印象城的cgv来看 在大众抢的1元券不要太值！这个cgv也挺厉害有杜比 杭州三家cgv要么是IMAX要么是杜比是真厉害..还有公交过的居然是新开的博奥隧道！头次来 其实挺搞笑的是CGV是韩国CJ娱乐旗下的 一直禁韩流但是能增加gdp的就不禁 唉 居然还不错 不愧是大头是美国做的啊 这技术显然不一般 动画做的美轮美奂 虽然我中间睡着了一会 但显然这是国庆档最好看的动画片了 而且这个菲拉萌确实好萌啊。。萌翻了简直 但没想到那只小狗居然是反派 就是拯救自己的世界 让自己免于灭绝的故事
纯搞笑的商业电影，布拉德皮特很给面子来客串
女主演技差，不过整体还可以。青春迷茫的氛围拍出来了
有点吵 桑德拉布洛克的表演挺好玩的 查宁·塔图姆卖肉至少多给1.5星 哈哈哈 尤其和女主睡在睡袋上的时候
疼痛的青春，又听到了happy end的插曲，很喜欢。
蛮无聊的，小朋友看了一般般，大人看了也一般般
1.不太喜欢因为蠢，硬推剧情的片子。2.国配台词快尬死了，各种低俗的网络用语。3.说唱那段是艾福杰尼
好的部分有音乐、大海、摄影，拍出了三分少女的悸动，在上面那一片混乱中抓住了核心部分——故意的错位，你追，我逃，就这样构成看起来“不明所以”的青春。
