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.

被欺骗的感觉，太失望了，真的。
过于煽情了 感觉没什么意思 还是之前的美食那个好看
里面有剧情在电视剧看过，感觉没有创新。
中间大概一小时都在炒冷饭😅😅，差点没看完就出去，想着买了票，这还是我的图图，硬着头皮看完了。还好最后20分钟算救了场，升华了一下，不然就相当于重温剧版🤒
让我弟陪我看他不愿意，事实上他是对的，不好看，即使它是大耳朵图图
前期夹杂电视版的剧情成分太多，些许无趣了，后期关爱老人的问题可能因为上个学期去敬老院做过志愿者，有被感染到，温馨而和谐。总之图图的故事一直一直伴随着我。
上海美术电影制片厂
画面4分，剧情3分，情怀满分。
这次的动画电影版非常不错，特别是非常细致的绘画效果，有别于TV版的简单画质。动画片的节奏非常适合小朋友观看，特别是在大城市生活的小朋友，剧情中描写的故事特别的真实，能让影院的小朋友带来欢笑，也能寓教于乐。对于我这位画过漫画的家长来说，这部动画片的优秀画质和表现方法特别适合这个IP形象，故事内容也适合小朋友，很成功的本土IP，希望更好的延续下去。
作为一个图图的忠实观众 最后电影放完大耳朵图图经典主题曲播出来的时候 心里暖暖的
前面三个人莽撞又沉闷的劲头让我想到《风柜来的人》，可惜导演没让这条线发展起来。总的来说，如导演所说，确实是一部个人化十足的电影，但只展示了和大厦的联结被切断的阵痛，没有关注那种联结最初是如何生成的。父子关系塑造得有些生硬、理想化，也是有点缺乏情感上的预设。视听语言我还是挺喜欢的，许多静默的画面，身着西装的父亲，即将倾倒的大厦，这些给我印象很深
看的第一部柬埔寨电影。城中村拆迁，骑摩托的街舞青年，这几个关键词一提取那就是科长喜欢的电影啊。影片前半段挺沉闷的，直到父亲的断趾才有了更harsh的现实意味。PS.莫名记住了一个细节，女孩给不善喝酒的男孩点了一杯长岛冰茶🤔
阳春白雪和下里巴人无缝转化
怎么说呢
你们可气不可气。
我也算带我家小孩阅动画片无数了，这个成功的在前面三分之一把我干倒了，无聊啊无聊🥱
就是以前的剧情重新画了一遍，缝合怪！！！尬死我了
关于金边城市化进程的侧写。导演用三幕戏讲述拆迁记忆，可惜第二幕渐渐垮掉，变成了静态画面的堆砌。是因为贾科长监制所以电影带着点科长早期风格，还是反之成立？
真的很糊弄 大部分都是动画片里出现的剧情 如果没有好的剧本出来的话 其实不必如此勉强地完成这个任务的 两颗星星都是打给图图的 希望他永远是我小时候记忆里的那个图图！
因为胡图图我找回了小时候那种盯着电视不舍得上厕所的记忆。很开心很开心呢
