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.

网大电影中算是及格之作，比很大院线电影故事讲的好。这个紫霞很NICE，可以说是朱茵之后的代表紫霞了。
哈哈哈哈，越看越想入坑索尼克，
什么虹猫蓝兔大战，阿不对是赛亚人大虐反浩克装甲
游戏元素揉进传统动画桥段略拙劣，偏讨巧，金凯瑞的反派演绎是最大的看点。
是在抖音上看到达叔后来看的。“欲知前世因，今生受者是。欲知来世果，今生作者是。”做为网大电影，还可以吧。出现了一些经典的镜头和歌曲。片尾曲《祈缘》很好听。
由此可见，对游戏改编电影粉丝们的要求都不高，只要做好了人设和动作场面就齐活了。对金·凯瑞演的反派我真的是一点都不感到讨厌，这是为什么呢？
挺好看的，虽然比较低龄，但是节奏不错，很轻松很搞笑，画面特别明亮，画质和特效非常棒，但是飞机被拍碎的时候出现了锯齿有点不能理解，金色索尼克有一种超级赛亚人的感觉，特别爽，是一部视觉盛宴的轻松爽片。
游戏改编，剧情比较低龄，就是动物版的超级英雄，超人总动员+闪电侠+万磁王+万神殿+复仇者联盟……总之就是总有映照，看着玩就好。金凯瑞还是那么表情丰富。
合格的爆米花续集，没什么深度没什么新意，看着图一乐还是可以的。
为了sonic和金凯利，看吧~蛋头博士套拍了万磁王和钢铁侠，sonic套拍了灭霸和超级赛亚人~人家灭霸才五个石头，你七个~~
虽然特效拉胯，但全篇都能让人入戏，还是可看的
开开心心、没心没肺，相比第一部是全面升级，非常称职的合家欢娱乐片，很可惜派拉蒙放弃了大陆的上映。
两星半。跟朋友在电影院前面看的无奈，后面不带脑子笑的很开心哈哈哈哈。这还不是万磁王这还不是万磁王这还不是万磁王？谢谢你，family侠
不知道在电影院看会怎么样，但整体还是蛮好的。索尼克的两个朋友都来了，依旧不打不相识。索尼克有了点蜘蛛侠邻家超级英雄的感觉，更接地气一些。对小朋友来讲。
还是及格，经费比上部充裕，场景，动作设计更贴近游戏，但是人类部分异常鸡肋，可有可无的，金凯瑞真的强，考虑到这是其职业生涯息影之作的话，还挺值得一看，就这。
二十年前，你以为自己是齐天大圣；
第一部音速索尼克，第2部超塞索尼克，第三部黑悟空，哦不好意思说错了，黑尼克
希望第三部能够全方位地用心打磨，突破一直以来四平八稳的局面。
剧本虽然写的简单，但故事好歹也能说得通。幽默示范挺多的，主角们的造型都不错。解个闷，挺好。
国外的反派好没创意，破坏世界还要借助宝石的力量。cm的摩根在这里怎么还是FBI啊哈哈哈。金凯瑞的表演真是锦上添花。
