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.

大家都好严格啊，经费爆炸，作画爆炸，光动态镜头可以给三星，我觉得日本的动画人还是不能有心理洁癖，有钱又不干预你创作，不要抱残守缺了，固守日本动画的破规矩，他山之石可以攻玉，好好打磨故事是真的。
7.0/10 本质算个跑酷片，音画水准均高，就是核心旋律有点偶发性瘆人，至于跑酷动作也是丝滑流畅加酷炫，总之一看就挺烧经费的，若是能在影院一观，大概也能体会到不少新海诚系壁纸+高速运动番的爽感吧。然而背景、展开依然又很后311式，灾变（泡雨湮灭）、崩坏（重力异常）、新希望、重建……类笛卡尔的涡旋宇宙观及泡基生命的设定则有点空想SF玄学味，但论SF玄学又不及《海兽之子》，多少有些糊弄。恋与羁绊也是比较糊弄，人设（听敏+猫系倒尚可一磕）与情感表现都是浅尝，毕竟是安徒生《美人鱼》新编，反倒有些精于在各种伏笔回收上的算计。最后，爱的战士不愧是爱的战士，但毕竟勇于舍弃世界的《天气之子》还是不多了，就祝大家都在生命宇宙以及一切的梦幻泡影中42吧！
东京跑酷少年版“海的女儿”。虽然这个泡泡的设定有点莫名其妙，结尾时还强行升华太尴尬，但是画面确实漂亮，还有音乐也很好听，尤其男女主在漂浮的物体上面训练跳跃以及比赛跑酷时，浪漫酷炫的场景配上背景音乐简直太美了。另外现在的电影是只要有比赛不论条件再苦再困难都不忘搞个直播嘛。虽然评分有点低，还是打个4星支持下。毕竟谁能拒绝这么一个可爱还有着蓝色头发的猫系少女呢。
ps.别炸东京塔了！格局打开，隔壁痞子都开始在埃菲尔铁塔上塔塔开了！
画面是真的美，制作相当精良，动作场面也很精彩。就是叠了这么多的buff，这么多出名制作人，也没有让故事特别出彩，还是相对平庸了一点。
道具、情节都在为画面而服务，根本不考虑底层逻辑，男女主爱情主线直接照搬小美人鱼，但是细节描写上的欠缺让他两的爱情根本站不住脚。
虽然是一次失败的尝试，但也不至于被黑的这么惨。剧情上的问题多到不好喷，配角工具人不说，主角也毫无人格魅力，主线故事更是俗套至极。就演出和作画上来，荒木监督其实是在重复巨人中的立体机动，这种动作场面配上泽野的配乐，肯定还能让人激动，但新鲜感已经荡然无存了。
又是画面音乐无可挑剔剧情无力吐槽。日本最近很喜欢搞童话吗？下次是不是换白雪公主或者灰姑娘？看看主创名单，这真是好贵的车祸啊。（你们学什么新海诚啊！学点好啊！
这么中二的片除了画面流畅想不出其他可以彩虹屁的角度
看的不是很明白，人鱼公主的现代版？莫名其妙
感觉选了一个简单又糟糕的概念来模仿新海诚？？
老虚啊，实在不行咱就回去种田吧好吗？你靠卖刀片废品又不是不能过，写这玩意儿是何必呢？
任何唯美的故事都要讲一个理由。多问自己为什么可以解释很多东西，在这里我真想打烂编剧的狗头，这他妈讲的是个什么东西！你的剧情和你的立意有他妈一毛钱关系！
不得不说，WIT的“立体机动装置”非常的“丝滑，作画也确实很美，随便一截图都可以当做壁纸，但这空洞感觉没有太大意义的世界观和剧情人设，实在是撑不住啊
一个不知道脑子里想什么的男生和一个不知道什么来历的女生，发生的没头没尾的强行浪漫故事。海的女儿，画面惊艳，故事稀碎，华而不实。
老虚可以滚了！赶紧的！！！小日本引以为傲的动画片被你拍成这样，呵呵，那小日本动画真要完蛋了！荒木也是接剧本时不看看是谁在当编剧！
荒木哲郎，作为曾经你的粉丝，我还能信任你吗？
前半段还算中规中矩…中后段人物动机我真的不理解啊，泡泡的动机是？，外星生物吗为什么会有自我想法，为什么突然生气又为什么突然平息了…😱
“他们给的实在太多了”系列，剧情土味稀碎，男女主人设真嗣+绫波丽，王子和美人鱼，一个自闭症一个傻呼呼，互动非常寡淡，导致最后都没觉得他们感情很深，哭不出来。就这烂剧情为啥用了三个编剧，我觉得我去写剧本可能也比这个强点。三星给作画和音乐，可能是跑酷宣传动画吧。
技术力是有了，作画很漂亮，但就是一点也喜欢不起来。很多看了像吃苍蝇一样的桥段，看内核的话根本就是落后于时代的作品。
