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.

毕竟驯龙高手是白人男性感化了全世界，好莱坞不补上个黑色女性感化全世界好像有点不完整。
好人和坏人两派性格都不是很鲜明
First half is pretty good. Then goes to cliche boring rubbish.
想象力贫瘠，剧情烂俗，动画电影做成这样，玩球。
这部电影简直就是巨物恐惧症+深海恐惧症的双倍福利！虽然中心主题是与自然和谐相处及反专制皇权，但种族平等、性别平等的元素还是清晰可见的，像女猎人、女将军，甚至是雌海兽都是很有魅力的角色，影片整体偏套路化，但是海兽都还挺可爱的，尤其是小蓝[我也想要一个.jpg]！
不算很惊艳，但倒也不拉胯。中规中矩、老少咸宜的动画长片。比较遗憾的，既然开创了海兽宇宙，为什么不多安排几个海兽出场呢？雅格船长不是有张海图么。里面标记着各种海兽，但实际上只有大紫螃蟹露面了。结尾有些仓促。多少有点虎头蛇尾。还有一些看似苦心铺垫的细节，到最后并无卵用。可能有续集吧。
画面多好看剧情就多单薄，小红小蓝小黄很可爱，没了
剧情也就那样吧，知道后面会发生什么，槽点也有吧，但是瑕不掩瑜，好在节奏控制得不错，有让人想接下去看得欲望。

什么时候才能有一个正常普通的小女孩做主角？不要小女孩装大人了
在流媒体的剧场版动画中，这部的制作水平算不错的。如果是在院线上映的话，巨兽的种类会更多一点。
小黑拯救小白小黄小红和小蓝 Yaaaahhhhh
白左式正确井喷说教 圣母遇上傻白甜 世界大同笑开颜
可可爱爱轻轻松松的合家欢电影，话说老船长最后是执念了吧。
同样是编年体电影，倒叙着讲，更悲凉，《梅艳芳》能这么拍就好了。旧爱的誓言像极了一个巴掌，每记起一句就挨一个耳光。25年，25记耳光，谁顶得住
常规套路，针灸抓海怪，中医传天下
最好看的是小红大战螃蟹。
能看到很多作品的影子，大红鱼和小女孩是《大鱼海棠》，海兽站起来的压迫感像《哥斯拉》，故事情节又有点像《驯龙高手》，整体是熟悉的感觉，所以谈不上惊喜，是一部中规中矩的冒险动画。
220725.★★☆.评语又是陈词滥调的排列组合:（结尾糊弄小孩的睿智处理令整个故事重拿轻放也就算了，编导怎么想到把男女主写成若无其事地抛父弃友的白眼狼？？？？？除此之外）由衷地真诚地赞美所有的幕后制作人员，献声的小女孩和可爱的屠夫（就猜到是你hhhh）。#可以跟pp一同观看的电影#
主旋律+政治正确+不太尴尬的笑点+萌物混入=合格爆米花
