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.

Be a bad guy or be a good guy,but don't be a boring guy.´_>`
PS.大坏狼真是个迷人精~嘻嘻
左派叙事，无甚新意。关于坏蛋变成好蛋的故事，《神偷奶爸》、《疯狂动物城》高明太多。
立意上把仇恨和责任归于个人确实不如拆弹专家2被制度和结构抛弃、陷害，但实际表现出来也还不错
即使是动画片多少也有点怪怪的
太好看了！！！五分全给狐狸市长。又媚又飒，行走的女同诱捕器
中间睡过去十来分钟，醒来后发现走向与睡着前预想的别无二致，仿佛什么也没错过。
毫无新意，身边一个tween带着她七八岁的弟弟看到一半就溜了。
看到甄子丹掏出甩棍谢霆锋耍匕首瞬间梦回杀破狼，只是最后有人成为中国队长，有人成为小丑。反派弧光加的如此之满以及崇邦片尾的沉默，我想即便是来看动作戏和谢霆锋扮帅的观众，也能感受到谁才是真正的主角。任达华聆讯那段看似煽情实则充满黑色幽默，当然要给你二十小时去除掉疯狂复仇的高层心头大患，但谁知道走出教堂后等待的是什么呢。只可惜我们可以继续好奇未来邱礼涛会拍出什么，却无法再期待陈木胜。
整体就是两个字：可爱！故事简单但是很可爱（我不过分追求逻辑性与现实感），从良的主人公们也好可爱，尤其是大灰狼，大长腿+西服让我想起我Brandon了，而且Sam的声音好苏……整部电影的视听都挺喜欢的，追车的动作戏真流畅，配乐也很适合。可能太久没在电影院看电影了，我真的很享受…就是不知道为什么坐后排的大哥睡着了，呼噜震天响。。
3D动漫的角色样子越来越同样了，这部男女主角越看越像《疯狂动物城》里的主角。。剧情也拍到没什么可拍的感觉了，这设定是没见过，但剧情就是能让你猜到没什么惊喜。
22_083。挺好看的，虽然梗都是老梗，但细节不错好些地方挺好笑，几个角色也可爱并没有只光环狼一个人（一匹？），对于五人（只？）的友情比较强调没有过重在爱情上这点我也满意。”假如我有尾巴是否也会摇呢“，最后一辆车上坐七只（匹？）那是超载了好吗
没有特别出彩的角色，尽管联盟的坏蛋众多，又是典型的富豪人设黑化太好莱坞，没有太多惊喜。开头让狼崽子感受到帮助别人的快乐，用了摇尾巴其实挺有创意的。后续几个坏蛋也是通过摇尾巴来作为改变的呼应，很动物性，反而让人觉得这个角色活了。女市长又是一个隐藏的坏蛋，但是前面埋下的伏笔太少导致转折很生硬。至于结尾说真的，太平淡了（不知道是不是模仿《僵尸世界大战》，但是模仿的也不够彻底）。
动作戏非常棒，从头打到尾，近年来少见的港片精品。谢霆锋更是不疯魔不成活，，又帅又刚，反派角色比正派的更让人着迷。
其实看完这部电影之后最大的感受就是想看《疯狂动物城》的续集，虽然这部的动画水平总体也不错，但不知道为什么在动物的比例和形状上隐隐感觉有些欠缺，而《动物城》似乎就没有这种问题。
跟拆弹2类似的故事，讽刺制度下自私小人漠视他人命运而为己牟利。这样催生下来的谢霆锋一群角色，很难不联想到黑暗骑士里Joker的那一群人。甄子丹的动作导演真的是一个保障，打戏太好看了！
立意上把仇恨和责任归于个人确实不如拆弹专家2被制度和结构抛弃、陷害，但实际表现出来也还不错
大坏狼好可爱啊啊啊啊啊啊！！！心都化了！！！他真的好可爱，内心好温暖～～尤其是抱着小喵咪。简直太甜了呜呜呜！！！电影超级好看！转折不断哈哈哈哈哈哈是一部非常可爱的合家欢喜剧！！！
如果你有机会，请一定去电影院看看这部动画，不是说它不可错过，而是在此时此刻，2022年的春天，去电影院这件事儿，分外珍贵。
