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.

美是挺美的，就是美的莫得灵魂。又是一个精华全在trailer里的片子。动作惊人的流畅！不过这讲了个啥破故事啊……以及东京又又又沉水里啦哈哈哈哈
三星给画面吧…也不能再多了…看着他们跑酷还是有一点被感动的…但可惜了…稀碎…没票房压力…大佬们开心就好…
很喜欢，某两段跑酷看了好几遍，感觉终于是看上了巨最终季，当空气中都是漫天飘荡的泡泡海，teenagers依旧在做出漫无目的缺乏逻辑的举动，窝眼泪直飞
二次元大佬们都有一颗跑酷的心啊，人鱼公主的故事可以讲一万年。
实打实的电影级别的作画，脸部特写美得令人赞叹，加之酷炫而流畅的跑酷；配乐属实好听，永远可以相信泽野弘之。
一星感谢作画
debuff超级卡司电影之末日跑酷版海的女儿。但是是不是搞错了一点：人鱼公主的主题从来不是爱情，而是自由。如果非要写人鱼公主和王子的爱情故事能不能别非要扯一些有的没的生存与毁灭？而且最后唱歌拯救世界不又回到了《罪恶王冠》和《vivy》的老路上了吗（恼）！跑酷的设定明显就是为了炫技，虽然感慨wit的机动立体做得厉害，但既然这样干嘛不彻底做成跑酷比赛番！这样在说一句老套的同时，还勉勉强强称得上感动。
一度怀疑是新海诚新作😂，一直哼哼那八个音阶的旋律引起不适。
配乐和作画质量都无可挑剔，几首bgm都蛮好听的，但是剧情内核就实在太平庸了，人物动机塑造的也不够立体。
《噪音》剧情讲述在猪狩岛这座落后又人口严重外移的孤岛上，青年泉圭太(藤原龙也 饰)生产的黑无花果受到高度评价，就在地方创生推进局决定给予小岛5亿圆特别辅助金、岛民看见希望征兆之时，名为小御坂睦雄(渡边大知 饰)的男人突然出现，岛上和平的日常瞬间天翻地覆。
冲着制作阵容去的，画面音乐都是顶级的，故事是越后面越离谱了，牛顿棺材板盖不住了
完成度是顶级水平，作画和音乐的盛宴；想表达一个很不常见的主题，但在剧本上没怎么融合好
一個挺套路的愛情（童話）故事，不知道為什麼在當下看就出現了意象不到的新意。一個處在遊牧狀態的都市，一個系統外的偏差的出現卻會改變一切。
画面一百分，故事四十分。《天气之子》《泡泡》，高概念世界背景中的无聊故事
新编版《海的女儿》。连《天气之子》的一半好都没有，至少前者的故事还能说得通，本作已经完全放弃了叙事的合理性，主旨不清晰，一大堆数不清的bug，人物情感的推进铺垫约等于零，走个过场硬推进，跑酷的设定大量填充入剧情，显得也非常多余，然后除了男女主又是全员工具人，肉眼可见几乎属于是完全开摆的状态了，所以没什么好说的，就是一坨烂泥，只要专注于画面形式上的宏大和深入人心的空灵感配乐观感就差不多了，至于这次老虚的剧本嘛，要我说不想写可以不写，又没人拿枪指着你逼你去写。
2022映画第7部，4星。少男少女的童话故事。剧情还是蛮老套的，不过画风好评。
看了个寂寞
美人鱼+第三类接触，经五人之手改出的剧本，细碎也没辙。跑酷动作和泡泡特效倒是拉满，很适合在影院欣赏
为什么日本人拍废土朋克也要强行小清新啊啊啊啊
设定和剧情都好迷，可惜了这么好的画风。男主是个性格恶劣的害人精，减一星
