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.

制作确实很精良，能看出国产动画美术上确实很卷，但是编剧看起来不怎么卷
动画做得很不行啊，绝大部分人物动作都很廉价，尤其是走动，感觉就像是动画制作软件预设动作直接拿来用/就像那些在背景走动的3D游戏人物动作。咸鱼强的表情比主角三人组的表情要做得好点，大部分表情毫无情感可言。但为何里面的人物一微笑就黄祸脸？没说的那么严重但黄祸设计还是有的。而且有些表情/动作很美式3D动画，我是感受不到中国独特审美。台词写得好烂。里面女性形象塑造非常不符合社会主义价值观。疯狂用蒙太奇，但毫无张力。总的来说，哪有中国独特的审美在里面啊？剧作烂俗也没中国古典文学的气质，动画制作要么廉价要么一样学的欧美表达。
看演员表里还有“母亲和女儿”，还以为是芬奇遇见了别的人类，没想到是这么发生的。在芬奇离开后，只剩下机器人和狗的画面，太像动漫了。
止于概念，过于传统的内核稳健地带出荒凉中残存的温暖，也不可避免地略显无趣；当然，若是那个时代仅一个工程师就能单枪匹马地靠废铜烂铁造出这等强人工智能，那臭氧层消失可能根本不是人类生存的最大问题。
That I could make those people dance
一人一狗一机器人一机器狗，我想说，除了环境比较恶劣，这简直就是向往中的生活啊。。。
芬奇之于杰夫如师如父。上次看这么细腻温暖又动人的末世题材还是机器人瓦力。
没有谁比汤姆汉克斯更适合这种孤独的独角戏了。一人、一狗、一机器人，配置像极了《我是传奇》，拍出了末日恐惧，也拍出了一抹温情。
软科幻+灾难让人玩烂了，公路+温情也让人玩烂了，结果就有人把软科幻+公路+灾难+温情还能玩的明明白白！
渐入佳境 其实是个很俗气的故事 但气氛渲染到这 还是哭了 结尾真的很喜欢 那首客家旁白曲真的点睛了 虽然生活没有动画里那么轻易 就像我少年离家后 就再也没能回去 “用心看完后 你不会去在意眼睛是大是小” 但人物建模这真的好丑哈哈哈哈救命
同意，这才算国漫应有的姿态。唯一能让我打5⭐的新国漫。
没看过，看到这么多刷高评分不爽，生活中也没见过几个眯眯眼，到动画全部都是了
机器人是人的延续。延续人的情感，关系，对世界的体验。人是脆弱的，可某些东西生生不息。
《濒死男子造出机器人只为照顾狗，机器人在制作者死后发现自己核心位置竟是开罐器》
开场和片尾的水墨非常精彩~
浪漫的片段，爸爸像施展魔法一样把玉米变成爆米花……感动
我哭很惨但不影响我觉得不行。
不难看，但是看完也属于“大可不必”的那种感受，狗狗很可爱我知道，人间不值得但偶尔也值得这我也知道，汉克斯演这种角色基本上更是可以闭着演了，但8.4分也是吓人，一点插科打诨+一点温情，感觉这种狗片一年能拍80部。
8.5
终于 国产动画电影脱离了神话题材也能交出很好的答卷！电影当然也有这样那样的问题 但质感是上乘的 你可以说它增加了许多不必要的流行配乐 许多地方都不够好 甚至可以说它在迎合单一的以阳刚为主的男性审美 但我看到的比较离谱的是 因为男主角眼睛小眼距宽说电影是在迎合西方对中国人的刻板印象哈哈哈 我可去nmd的吧
