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.

/最后那三件衣服真的很有些难看
好像一部被压缩成电影的美剧，前半部尚可，后半部全面崩坏，放到netflix上都不会进入日榜前十的水平。
童年的英雄，很高兴再看到你们。
对赖特来说，拍这种鬼片就是江郎才尽，结尾那叫一个拖沓啊。。。而且真欣赏不到安雅泰勒的美到底在哪儿
考验观影量的时候到了，古早动画人物大乱斗，认全人物超级不容易，还有自黑索尼克，丑八怪索尼克太好笑了。还是老话题了友情
开始以为是穿越片，看着看着居然是个恐怖片…挺喜欢这种剧情密集没什么尿点的片，一星扣在最后的lazy writing，房东老Sandy明明要杀了女主最后居然冷静了坐下来放女主走了，就有点？
做作，听到魂魄喊救命简直笑出声。不喜欢选角。可惜一个好故事被搞成这种混杂各种烂俗元素的青春片。
看安雅去的。前半部分尚可，万圣节之后开始崩坏。特别是鬼魂一边缠住女主一边喊help？？有事吗？？逻辑不通啊，你要人家help你你缠住人家？？就很无语。反转也不算特别意外。最后也没看出来女主从哪里完成了自我成长，毕业设计又那么丑，就感觉结束的非常潦草。
虽然之前没看过奇奇与蒂蒂系列，但看完以后把以前的三季电视剧都下载下来了。剧情有趣，情怀梗足，版权炸裂，确实有点像疯狂动物城+头号玩家。
什么叫对电影来说剧本不重要，这就叫剧本不重要！不是说什么烂剧本都行，而是知道要什么。看下来全程被吸着走，几个段落一气呵成，非常厉害了。
全片很套路，就是有童年松鼠大战的滤镜，各种彩蛋，版权危机
迪士尼之前的纯动画片都给人老少皆宜的感觉。这部电影在前30分钟，堪称完美开局。坚固的想象力与噱头，整个主题抛出的非常吸引人。如果前30分钟再加上个20分钟的收尾，这片子堪称完美。可惜呀。后半部分越来越弱智。
一个2D一个3D +真人 很好笑 也很有创意 剧情真的好看哈哈哈哈不愧是迪士尼。梗真的好多好多好多啊
考验观影量的时候到了，古早动画人物大乱斗，认全人物超级不容易，还有自黑索尼克，丑八怪索尼克太好笑了。还是老话题了友情
Dale太可爱100个赞哈哈哈，虽然剧情都很老套了，但意外各种元素2D3D真人杂糅一点违和感都没有也是很神奇。想和侄女再看一次哈哈
女主天天在忙啥呢……整部电影就看她在睡觉和听歌了
迪士尼的版权炫耀和保护宣传电影，大胆的想法和厉害的制作，混杂但并没有特别违和，但是就电影本身而言一般般，故事框架仍旧太老套了，套了许多新鲜事物上去就真的太缝合太花里胡哨了。另外反派为什么是彼得潘呀😡卡通角色都是按设定存活的吧，唯独长不大的彼得潘长大成了油腻大叔我不能接受🥲
相信这会是一大批中年美国人的「有关童年的回忆」。《救难小福星》时隔33年重回大荧幕，欢乐与欣喜之余必定引得老粉们一片「潸然泪下」。动画角色与真人结合，活泼而不乏趣味，情怀氛围瞬间拉满。华特迪士尼真真的又一次击中了「怀旧党」的内心深处。原版复刻的奇奇、3D化制作的蒂蒂、过了气的索莱克、又老又秃的彼得潘、希曼、巴鲁……光是人物塑造与纷繁呈现就很抓人，再加上密集的笑点与各种讽刺各种梗，很难摆烂。适合中年父亲带着小孩一块看，然后你会看到两个「男孩」坐在那里傻笑的样子，而其中的一个，笑眼里必定噙满泪水。
我只是把你当个恐怖片来看，因此多得也不要求了。半吊子啊。
挺失望的，虽然视听依然惊艳，但是这故事也太儿戏了。过去现在两条线有任何非常必要的关联吗？两个女主的领域一点都不相似。本来以为女主会意外发现自己能影响过去的时空，结果也不能。就只有莫名的追逐，和莫名其妙的的反转再反转。不要求故事多精巧，但是连简单通顺一以贯之都做不到，白瞎了那些精彩的视听设计了。
