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.

也许是期望过高，看完有些失望，甚至有些起疑，《魔法满屋》当真是《冰雪奇缘》和《疯狂动物城》原班人马打造的？
这部片子最大的两个亮点就是女主是魔法家族中为一个没魔法的，以及歌吧。我觉得这部片子的歌好现代哦，跟以前的迪士尼歌曲曲风不太一样。但是故事有点牵强诶。因为拿了金球奖才看的，个人觉得这个片子赶不上逃亡。
相比之前的海洋奇缘还是差一些，元素太多让人头发胀，特别是前面的节奏太赶了
完全属于女性的家族故事。虽然也是一大家子，但是完全没有Coco那么激发非繁殖系少数族群的恶感。
家人之间的关系感觉有点怪怪的，看了影评才醒悟过来原来是讲政治家族的故事。不过画面处理得还是很神采飞扬的，如果不是结尾处理得太潦草可以考虑给到四星。
结尾部分全身持续通电，迪士尼最最擅长的找回自我和家庭团聚的主题，虽然略显老套，但作为合家欢电影还是绝对的业界第一。迪士尼的世界总是春意盎然百花盛开，六十年如一日的缔造童话般的美好幻梦，此刻我就像站在迪士尼乐园里发疯的林志玲，太感动了
冲着《Dos oruguitas》来看。人物的天赋设定虽然有趣，但似乎难以承载“支撑小镇”的重任，如果说第二代尚能在日常发挥作用，第三代基本就只是娱乐大众了。而人物的性格、态度也有些脸谱化，前脚一言不合，后脚就能相互理解，并且都能自洽于“为了家庭”的逻辑。从“追求完美、被精益求精束缚”到“追求自由”的转变虽然很老套，但人物“重获新生”的状态依旧令人共情且向往。一众歌曲里面依然觉得西语版的《Dos oruguitas》最为动听，正片在歌曲中间穿插情节的闪回反而有些冲淡了歌曲的意味。
载歌载舞风格倒挺适合这种美洲背景的故事 但剧情真是越来越敷衍 家庭异类拯救家族的故事 活力新生代对抗保守大家长的故事 最终结果自然是找回初心 起承转合都死气沉沉的照本宣科 毫无趣味毫无幽默可言 完全是在套模板 空有一个五彩斑斓的皮囊却缺乏打动人心的情感作为内核 更不用奢望这个故事里能看出哪怕一丢丢的与众不同 只能说迪士尼的动画真的是越做越差了
一不留神买成了国配，整个就像在看一场一般的中文音乐剧演出。
不小心买了3d中配，效果打了一些折扣。还是很喜欢各种细节的，最喜欢Dolores，她好时髦啊！故事本身就一般，没想好怎么收又不得不收了。
一不留神买成了国配，整个就像在看一场一般的中文音乐剧演出。
中规中矩的传统迪士尼歌舞片，大家开开心心唱歌跳舞就能度过危机，相信的心就是你的魔法，也不用讲究危机从何而来、为什么可以解决危机，反正一家人最重要的就是齐齐整整，粗暴简单打直球比tvb还要露骨。
布鲁诺被赶出家门十多年，家人从不谈论他，仿佛从来没有这个人。
如果把魔法小屋看做是家族成员内心具象化的表现，米拉贝儿的gift就是洞悉人心，她看到的裂缝和摇曳的烛光即是那些已经不堪重负的内心——虽然外表若无其事，其实早已濒临崩溃，只有米拉贝儿最先察觉到，也只有她才能让其他人敞开心房去诉说那些只敢埋藏在心底的秘密，还有什么比这更珍贵的gift了吗。
没有什么困难，是用几首歌舞就能解决的，只有在迪士尼这里。。。
当国内还因为所谓的形象“乳滑”吵得不可开交，国外已经在展示种族侵略、关怀被伤害族群的心灵重建。迪士尼就是，你明明知道都是工业化套路，但就是美到你目瞪口呆、戳得你泪流满面，最后一边摇头一边鼓掌掏钱的一种存在。这次仍然是亲情，子女总是希望被家里人看到、让家人为自己感到自豪，而人们总是对家人最刻薄、最严厉。修复家庭关系，你将得到美妙的幸福魔力。
或许掰开了来看，每个人物的主题MV有可取之处。但是作为动画长片，ugh不管文化背景怎么换，夏日大作战式的家族剧情片我都应该敬而远之。
PS：请聆听差生内心深处的呐喊，给他们一点温暖一个拥抱，拯救自己拯救世界。。。╮(╯▽╰)╭
舅舅的形象真就lmm本人哈哈哈
