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.

毫无亮点，你说不上它哪好，也说不出它哪烂，仅适合12岁以下儿童观看
真的是一部很用心的动画作品！看到了国产动画的希望。故事线紧凑，各个人物性格鲜明，动画人物的微表情和场景也非常到位，很有代入感！之前在抖音上看到虎头虎脑的虎墩就被萌到了，今天看了电影，发现央视春晚上的《乳虎啸春》算是真人版预告了吧！这效果真硬核！
中国风画面唯美，传统文化也有所体现，有笑点更有泪点，看亲情友情相伴下，小虎墩护镖成长之路。一家人初一一早去看的。
普普通通。毫无亮点，没有任何故事线，卖点梗就想出电影，结果出了点成绩，就开始圈钱，热度还没搞起来就开始玩电影，别闹了，全宇宙都出电影，搞又搞得四不像。别出来吓人了。
今早去看了这部动画电影，实话实说有笑点（虎墩与两个镖师的互动和虎墩路上的冒险）有泪点（虎墩想念父母，虎墩回去救师傅），影院的小孩笑声一片👏 👏 👏
邹四火，你这个片子放十年前还行，现在看没有进步，你团队的人都是技术出身，从导演到你，上一部豆福传就是故事出的问题。这次好一点，至少不乱。你动画定位有问题，要么给孩子看，要么给成人看。你用动画的壳做的成人故事，又怕孩子看不懂，拉低了成人片的思维。好好找个编剧，猴哥的编剧不适合动画题材。这个片子没有他的影子。还是把心思放在故事上吧。国漫已经崛起，这个水平还真不太行。你做大IP改编吧，像阅文，幻维一样。这部戏投资人肯定是亏钱了，你们团队还好。继续努力吧，别老思维了。
陪两个孩子一起看的，儿子完整的看完的第一部电影~
巨差无比猫眼好评都是刷出来的吧骗钱玩意儿简直就是在侮辱电影
蛮老套的剧情了，动画制作倒是不错，但是人设没有很讨喜，所以真的感觉一般吧，还好没花钱去影院。
国漫崛起真的不是一句口号，小虎蹲如面人儿一样可爱的造型和顽强可爱的个性，让人在新年里越看越喜欢。虎蹲的性格有着普通孩童的稚嫩调皮，也有着中国传统练武之人的忠义执着，受人之托忠人之事，不达目的誓不罢休。
小虎墩前期太皮了，看得脑壳疼。。。不太现实，不过动画片嘛，图一乐吧就
总的来说，观影体验很不错，轻松愉悦，有笑有泪有刺激，尤其看完发现全网几乎没有讨论和热度，很多春节档盘点的自媒体也都自动忽略了这部作品，很多观众也还没有发现这部片子的存在也还是挺惋惜的……
很适合一家人去看的合家欢动画电影，蛮喜庆的，虎年大吉呀🐯
🎬《小虎墩大英雄》🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
适合过年看的合家欢电影，就是小虎墩的建模看起来比实际年龄要小很多。性格上有熊孩子的地方但也有纯粹的真挚。音乐和布景都很好， 沙漠那段很喜欢。反派设定还蛮有意思，确实有笑到我（还有那段突如其来的日语）。剧本不错，故事讲得很完整，比起白蛇生硬的转折、大鱼海棠令人无语的后半段，这个故事相当可以。但因为题材、时限原因所以做的比较可爱简单，能感觉到剧本可以做更有深意的。总之比我预期好很多。镖师的牌子这个线索设计也很好，父母和杨镖头两次离身的对应，很喜欢这个线索。
世界观和背景、人物细节都很有武侠风韵，剧本细节和角色构建可以再打磨打磨，贺岁档合家欢亲子向中等偏上水平，尤其是2D作画非常有场景沉浸感。但是，我有点疑惑开头为什么要找民间镖局加急运送军队的虎符军令？？？他们有权限吗？另外嘀嗒的广告略显生硬和做作是真的
挺喜欢虎墩的，不仅反映了现代留守儿童问题，还综合了中国文化和中国镖局元素，很有意思，特别是送猪桥段。我觉得发扬传统的文化思想当下还是挺有必要的，期待更多的这样的优秀作品
终于看到了中国动画未来的希望！加油加油！简单真挚！
画面制作还是很精良的，可以看到毛孔：）支持一下国产动画
作为一部以小孩为主要受众的电影传达的观点不敢苟同。
