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.

制作水准上没的说，在冒险类型的框架下做了很多大场面的尝试，有一丝星战的感觉，保证娱乐性也基本上完成了巴斯光年起源故事的讲述，不过作为皮克斯的动画这并不让人非常满意，前半个小时的故事节奏和主题还是让我比较喜欢，探讨人生的选择，同性线加的也不违和，算是一个小泪点，但当后面的菜鸟小队出现后就非常凌乱了，靠大量笑点填充情节直接漫威化，煽情套路也非常老旧，扎克大魔王也直接魔改了身份，与玩具总动员2直接冲突，看完这部还是感觉到了皮克斯目前的创作力的下降，希望皮克斯后面的重心还是在原创动画上，做衍生也至少要拿出来《玩具总动员4》的诚意。（6.5/10）
我看了这部电影并不想买巴斯光年，而是想买那只猫，大概这就是我跟安迪的区别吧
喵喵喵喵，四分。这片主要还是讲的如何正确认识自身的错误。很有教育意义的片子，很适合某些对错误很敏感的地区人员观看。
这拍的是个啥。。。太无聊了，看的人昏昏欲睡！两星全给幕后辛苦工作的动画工作人员。
“This is that movie.”然而在国内是不可能上映了。前半段剧情还不错，最后一次执行任务回来后就开始套路了，后面打斗的地方差点儿给我看睡着。给猫猫和LGBT加一分。
《光年正传》作为《玩具总动员》的衍生系列，影片有最顶级的视觉效果，合格的配乐。但剧情明显不足。而剧情正是《玩具总动员》系列最为重要的制胜法宝。剧情偏弱造成了这部《光年正传》的口碑和票房不是很理想。
从玩具总动员到真的卖玩具，界限就是从创意驱动沦落到了广告片水准，请再多大牌、用上再多放映格式上的噱头，都掩盖不了纯纯的铜臭味，真的想不到皮克斯有一天会造出比赛车总动员2还要拉胯的玩意出来。
雖然老套，但在一些時空穿梭的情感上還是有動人，有關光速冒險的精神。另外巴斯最後的自我發現其實跟阿凡達有點像，當年阿凡達這一點讓我記得滿深，再看這部讓我理解這算是某種美國精神。
画面很用心，节奏也很好。卖玩具的时候居然不是巴斯光年-索克斯套装？机器猫和量产“扎古”感受到了日本动画元素。
Time dilation的概念延展到本片的编剧创作当中，故事的跳跃性加速了剧情发展，无法建立完善的世界观和厚实的人物关系，以至于可以走捷径随意地创作出一个毫无说服力可言的反派角色。同样对于文本内容毫推动力量的同性角色，与其说是Disney自诩倡导其包容多元化的理念，不如说是更加符合当下时代商业上的需求。
Sox is the only good one.
这个月看过的最好看的电影！好喜欢好喜欢🥳🥳
6.5/10，《玩具总动员》系列衍生电影。
而《光年正传》中，巴斯光年唯一想做的就是改变自己的的错误，区别是，在长官的引导下，现在的巴斯光年向前看找解决方案，而穿越的老巴斯光年，想的是如何改变过去。
现在怎么还会有故事和科幻想象如此陈旧的作品
如果不是皮克斯出品我会打4星，后半段看的我血压上来了
一般我很少会因为LGBT而对某部片不满，但这部片设置LGBT情节只能说是为了迎合现今好莱坞的政治正确了，这是基于《玩具总动员1》里的情节而衍生的电影，这个背景下的儿童片强行设置LGBT，并且对剧情毫无意义的设计，真的是没法接受的。
很喜欢设定和建模。但配角太多太无聊了，没见过这么无聊的配角，完全是来拖后腿的。机器人反派跟大魔好像哦。很平淡的剧情，可惜美术了
视觉华美，剧情乏善可陈，反派、反派动机立不住，自然英雄史诗就缺点力气。想不通安迪能看这片子获得什么触动，大概他也被平庸的好莱坞荼毒了吧
预期很低看完居然觉得还行 但是相较于它是部皮克斯电影 还是很一般 剧本完整但是剧情很赶 所以有时候节奏快了些 主题和配角有些欠缺以及感情营造得不是特别深刻 但是里面仍然相当于商业片不错的地方以及处理方法
