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.

完全没哭。就是那种很工整的日式绝症纯爱流水线片，不过好在演员都好养眼！坂口健太郎好帅啊啊啊啊！！！怎么说呢，男主角的性格和我想的不太一样，没想到是这么乖巧的大狗狗。
7分左右的水平 nana和kentaro把电影当写真拍了😭其实剧情就一般哎 但我一直哭😭q
虽说故事是基于作者本人的真实生活，但是故事毕竟篇幅有限，电影尤其如此，那么多的人物看得出都很有故事，但都没讲出来的话就是纯粹的浪费了。也因此才更应该做出取舍。
照亮童年，为爱发光！七位导演取材原创绘本改编七个短片，以爱为主轴串联，从不同视角讲述“我和我的童年”。该片聚焦亲子关系、人与自然、兄弟手足、睦邻之情、异地成长等故事题材，用水墨、剪纸、水彩等不同的艺术形式，展现了独特而治愈的国风美学，唤起了全民心底关于童年最深处的情感共鸣
人设比较极致，余命10年的女主和试图自杀的男主，本质上都是一种寻找生命意义的过程，而生命的意义是爱情，一个爱情电影完美地圆上了。但是小松菜奈的可爱也无法掩盖中点以后缺乏变化的剧情，虽然个别处有细腻的情感也有点撑不起来。坂口健太郎不行了，真的完全没把人物变化演出来！
7分左右的水平 nana和kentaro把电影当写真拍了😭其实剧情就一般哎 但我一直哭😭q
每个独立小小的故事，不同的画风不同的感觉，我始终相信那句话：美好幸福的童年治愈一生。
哪怕烧焦了翅膀
如果你遇到困难,，不要伤心不要难过，向着明亮那方，你一定会战胜困难的。
就是大家都能想象的那种能哭的日本电影 为了坂口去看的 男主前期那种社恐家里蹲轻飘飘不想改变的状态真的太懂了... 还有就是在提高对罕见疾病的关心方面比较有积极作用吧(x *最后男主没有多余表白挺不错的
影院里那么多人哭都是因为现实中并不存在泣いていいよ
哪怕只是分寸的宽敞
剧情很一般，但演员们（就连出场一两场的）都算是我好感的，滤镜开了五层。看山田裕贵和奈绪谈恋爱好开心（？，黑木华和松重叔加分的流泪，好喜欢场景切换时间快进部分。小松和坂口单纯拍拖和养小孩part还是会ヘラヘラ。（悲报是坂口挺瘦的但居然有了双下巴😭😭😭还有点发腮呜呜🥹
像mv，这类题材本来真的很喜欢，但是拍的真的一般！但是很喜欢黑木华和坂口！！
绝症题材明知拍不出来什么花样了，但每次看还是会哭的稀里哗啦。nana在这里演得蛮好的，故事是在平淡当中慢慢打动我的。
中国首部原创绘本动画片，好几个故事并不是简单的讲童话，它的反转和寓意更眼前一亮，方言动画也新鲜。非常适合父母带小孩看，寓教于乐，充满《麦兜故事》《海洋之歌》式极致的爱与美。最喜欢的3个：《小火车》一句不会垮的新家道出故事真实背景，“一旦出了事，牵连一大片”，落脚点又在幸存小孩的独立成长，“你们放手嘛，让我自己走”看到泪目；《蒯老伯的糖水铺》高架桥两边，一边是冰冷的高楼大厦，一边是温暖的平房街里，破晓前的城市两极面貌，衬托出邻里街坊更像亲人，而亲人更像陌生人，“她们太忙太忙了”；《外婆的蓝色铁皮柜轮椅》，台词略散文，但当外婆的铁皮柜东西散落一地时，眼眶又湿了，想起那年老妈收拾外婆的遗物，藏在棉衣里的零钱、褶皱破旧从没用过的笔记本…“就在这个铁皮柜，仿佛装下了她整个一生” #11th BJIFF
感谢大陆的绘本作者，动画电影人，监制等辛勤的付出，中国的原创动画还是会有美好的愿景。
喜欢这个电影在安静里铺张的情绪，讲述那些小心翼翼度过的日子，像樱花一样既绚烂又短暂。我看完倒是没觉得悲伤，毕竟看过了美好，想着的是也要努力的生活喔！最喜欢的两个场景是男女主在忽然起风的樱花树下的怦然小心动，另一个是：女主像个孩子一样靠在妈妈怀里抽泣着说我还想继续活下去啊。
做动画的人都是在“用生命换时长”。有的人三十多岁放弃博士学位从零开始学动画，有的人收集了一屋子的杂物来汲取灵感，有的人纯手绘一个几秒的镜头就要画两百多幅，有的做耗时耗力的纸定格，有的人一天能吃掉几包白兔奶糖，有的人为了一杯糖水去沿街寻觅......他们都是成年人，却是内心住着童话
纠缠来纠缠去还是一样
