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.

李子雄居然是超级配角，几分钟。瞎子总觉得有点弱，复仇起来不过瘾。
被女主圈粉，就是那种一看就不好惹的那种女人
第一次知道这部电影是在一个公众号的宣传中，当天心情不好，加上最近迷上了动漫电影，当时看完推荐以后就感觉心里暖暖的，感觉是一部轻松美好带点可爱的电影，就像埋下了就一颗种子，今天终于看完了，说说自己的感受，故事情节非常简单，没有隐喻，内容比较正能量，人物形象也很可爱，通过这部电影可以了解到一些已经灭绝的稀缺物种，一些历史性的代表物，比较适合七八岁的小女孩看，从电影本身来说，我认为音乐，台词，拍摄，画面转场，剪辑等都处于一个中等的水平
面对挑战困难危险，积极思考，必有方法。
在网络大电影里这片算是值得一看的：剧情比较老套没有多少的惊喜，但动作演员出身的安志杰带来了多场多样化的动作打斗戏，看的比较爽
一个动画片，翻译台词差劲，而且语速太快，少年不惜的看，儿童跟不上节奏，一顿尬聊。而且剧情中有一个故意结巴的镜头，孩子看了以后就开始学，后来看了一半赶快走了。
虽然很喜欢安志杰，但是他太惨了，也没啥好剧本。。。这部剧bug真的太多了。。。打斗还不错
冲着制作团队以及中配版阵容去的。意外地好看，剧情有点点老套，反派有点出乎意料（对动画电影而言，‘病娇’属性的角色这两年才开始变多的吧）。但还好节奏紧凑，故事主线明显。最后，还要为马正阳马老师鼓鼓掌，对声音的控制能力太强了！观影的时候根本没发现是他！也有可能是我对他的声音不够熟悉哈哈哈
网大里面算不错的，尤其动作场面。院线里估计没法这么大尺度，暴力程度有一点接近Cult片了。
真垃圾，谁看了谁就会骂人。。。。不信你去看看吧
刘德华瞎了能开车，安志杰瞎了能开枪。叨叨承包了本片所有笑点，作为网络电影这可以及格了。
剧情太bug了，女主演技太浮夸，李子雄请都请了，出场半分钟，浪费。
打戏足，特效过关，文戏太少，而搏斗的场面太多容易造成观赏疲劳，一波又一波的强刺激，倒不如多弄点搞笑片段更巴适！
保持初心—善良勇敢自信，就算不被别人认可，永不灰心放弃，做好自己。
看在网大还比较努力的份上加一星，导演跟动作指导一定是John wick的铁粉，虽然女主表达的比较糟糕但至少还模仿了一个壳，算是比较好的突破，这片投资再多五千万，找专业的动作指导和特效公司，一定能够在院线捞一笔，配角演技都很烂和浮夸，唉可惜了
语言: 汉语普通话
各种塑料普通话非常丰富，包括川普，上普，东普，台普以及不知道哪里的普，总之只需要听不同的普通话口音就可以分辨角色了，非常贴心的考虑到了视障人士的观影需求
非常可爱的一部动画，虽然故事情节有点老套，但是人物的设计的确有弥补到这一部分的小缺憾，很适合孩子观看，也不失是一部大人可以放松休闲的小电影；另外也不知道是不是自己年龄逐渐增长了，以前我要是看到Q妹这种人设，我真的分分钟就气炸了，现在居然也能平静的看下去了。
还行，就是最后结局扎昆死的好快啊，都不适应电影这么快的节奏了哈哈哈
哈哈哈哈笑死了菲拉萌真的好可爱哦，我抱起来就是一个亲亲和串串( ˝ᗢ̈˝ )不过妹妹虽然很乐观也很厉害很幸运，最后也挺喜欢她的，但是太熊了真的。
