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.

看这个剧场版有些失望，山丘之王直接被打死以及队长性格转变的伏笔不多，略显牵强。不过既然是子供向动画又有一个这么温馨的结局还有动画剧集的铺垫给个优秀分还是可以的！
“娃娃们是山间的野葱，头扎在泥里藏着
这种乌托邦式的世界 恐怕现实永远也无法实现
就还是有点低幼，不过剧场版基本是给TV版埋下的各种神秘伏笔做了一个disclosure
很喜欢前两部的剧情，但感觉结尾有些仓促，这部电影算是补第二部的残缺。可惜的是，这一部少了很多之前的老朋友。
感觉节奏悄悄有点快，大卫线有点简约了，队长这个人。。不讨喜到有些过分，但转变虽快但确实也符合设定，怎么说呢，取长补短吧，无功无过，感觉前中期的剧情也在意料之中，但是一到后段还是绷不住了，这就是希尔达能带来的感觉温馨美好与幻想，格局也有了。为什么不能打4.5星！！！！
呜呜呜太美好了，我永远爱希尔达世界ಥ_ಥ 最后结局好理想ಥ_ಥ 世上最难的事就是让人放下成见和平相处了。希望所有大人小孩都去看希尔达ಥ_ಥ 坐等今年第三季(｡･ω･｡)ﾉ
“娃娃们是山间的野葱，头扎在泥里藏着
后面节奏有点快呀，不过还是很爱的。
而且这一部长时间都是昏暗冷色调不喜欢，还是喜欢前两部暖色调的。
最后还是挺感人的，有孩子之后没法看这种。但比较好奇的是父亲的缺失
像是从一个故事的中途开始，结束后看影评才知道还有剧，想去看完整的冲动。
结局巨魔母亲格局太高高高了😭😭😭
看完这部动画电影后觉得还行，剧情紧凑条理清晰井然有序
满分，在前两季的背景以及第二季结尾留下来的扣子基础之上衍生的剧场版，不过实际内容倒是感觉可以再缩减一点。内核仍旧是完美的儿童动画范例。
希尔达重拍了《进击的巨人》和《沼泽地的女儿》，爱产生力量，爱战胜一切。
这才是孩子该看的动画片。哦，不，是所有人都该看的动画片
没有看过剧集 有点难进入剧里 看着看着打瞌睡
Baba母亲为了保护孩子，甘愿承受骨肉分离；Hilda妈妈在巨魔环绕的夜晚坚持外出寻找Hilda；巨魔母亲为了城市与孩子，甘愿一直被埋在地下……啊～互相理解换位思考的母爱真是美好而让人羡慕
本片跟第二季的最后一集是无缝衔接的，也揭开了剧集版里面最后留下来的悬念，在这部剧场版里面也解释了剧集从头贯穿到尾留下来的秘密，不过这个系列最大的悬念揭开之后感觉整个剧集应该差不多就可以完结了，可以说整个片子下来铺垫是非常完善的，而且剧情方面也是老少咸宜，人物形象塑造也比较得丰满~
