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.

不喜欢星际题材的动画片，但是蛮可爱的，小夫的恐惧很真实，天赋自由很棒
太长了，一个小时就能演完，非要拖到快两个小时，小朋友都觉得无聊，还不如回家写作业。
5.28，相对子供向些，有些地方可能不能自圆其说，不过还是挺有趣，可能有一部分原因是没看过之前的那版（这部是重制版）毕竟也忍了两个多月没去大荧幕观看电影了。
可能是对童年动画片的期望太高的原因，对这部动画片一点好感都没有。
坦克上的电量显示一直都是90%，能不能认真点？😂
近两个小时的煎熬，我要聋了。不知道为什么只有国配场次
如坐针毡如芒刺背如鲠在喉，可谓我看过所有的哆啦A梦电影里最难看的一部，bug众多，让人不适以及想吐槽的点众多，列举部分：小夫仿佛精神分裂一样，整个人设从勇敢号召到胆小退缩一百八十度大转弯，与其平日的漫画形象也不符，这种江郎才尽强行制造人物性格矛盾的做法为人不解；“静香沐浴”似乎被提上主流“卖点”，有一种利用女性潜在性暗示画面来博取观众眼球的感觉，令人反感；星际正邪大战最后赢于侥幸，能让他们取胜的其实不是被放大和强调的团结和友情，而是一种“物竞天择适者生存”哲理下依靠自身肉体巨人力量压倒性扫除如蝼蚁的其他生物罢了，是肉体层面的胜之不武…唯一有感触的地方在于，我意识到人民其实无法依靠自身的“渺小”力量战胜压迫与独裁，这一点蛮悲哀的。
剧情挺无聊的，但是最后还是有点意思，尤其在当下看。
然后山新的蓝胖子像个夹舌子
基本上每年的剧场版都陷入了一个套路，换个题材内核及剧情都是一个复制粘贴的，本次也缺乏想象力，甚至剧作上都是非常平庸，反转也是非常随便，但无论如何也是最近唯一能看的新片了。7
和多多一起看的，普通话配音，包场。奥威尔也没想到自己能被日本人借来哺育儿童吧，日本人的矛盾与割裂在动画片中得以一窥：自由的觉醒与争取需要勇敢和热血，更需要依靠庞大有力有智慧的“朋友”。孙悟空早已嗤之以鼻。
有那么点无聊，但也有感动，有治愈，有友情，勇敢，也有今日和朋友一起冒着雨去看电影的回忆，不要害怕，一定可以做到的！（今年在电影院看的第一部电影，明明早上心情糟糕的要命，但是大家都那么好，我心里都知道，但真的不知道该怎么传达我的心情，加油加油，会越来越好的，会实现梦想的）
说原作者藤子老师夹带中政治私货的，大概不知道这早是1985年的剧本。
这预告已经是这样了还能精彩到哪儿去？配色让我无力吐槽。
陪伴希希看的又一部动画片（不过希希有点害怕匹里卡星的坏人以及一些战斗场面）。
设定有些无趣，以至于越看越没劲，情怀都贩卖不起来的那种，动画里穿插政治隐喻算是唯一的亮点了吧 22.5.29@百丽宫
应该不会再想看哆啦A梦了orz 影院居然还抽小玩具，感受了小朋友的快乐⸂⸂⸜(രᴗര๑)⸝⸃⸃
后半本挺紧张刺激的，不过前半本节奏有点太慢了，我都差点睡着。利用放大缩小进行的宇宙战争还挺有创意的，不过中间有些地方剧情的推进有点生硬了。虽然没有了唱歌梗，胖虎依然是整本电影的笑点担当。
6/10 最后的进击巨人+金刚+绿巨人有点好玩hhh
2.5 怎么现在哆啦a梦也学隔壁柯南了 质量不断下滑 而同样是一年一部的蜡笔小新却依然出彩 不断的重制也能看得出来想象力和灵感的匮乏 什么时候小新也能引进内地啊 老版没看过 上次去电影院还是三个月前 可能是太久没去 这次看真心觉得聒噪 故事低幼 想传达的东西也只是喊喊口号 没什么深层次 笑点泪点也不够 新主角感觉不如原来的好看 讽刺独裁者什么得倒还行 最后的巨人片段真的笑死 怀念童年吧
