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.

并没有绝对的对错，禁武与现在的禁枪又有何异？
[视]3D写实场景+2D漫画人物，动作戏突出，高帧招式+灵活运镜，没有仙侠夸张粒子特效。服装朴素，人物表情口型廉价，场景贴图模糊细节不足。剧情简单，格局偏小，主要角色不多，女主眼睛太大较出戏，缺少抓人眼球的角色。PS5时代玩着用虚幻4引擎做的PS3画面的游戏——确实没钱，想到<木兰：横空出世>和日本纸片人泡面番。片尾字幕搭配兵器谱与公众号二维码，有彩蛋
"侠以武犯禁"，"侠"在哪?
国漫在一步步地提升水平 例如从提高帧数开始。
枕刀歌之尘世行打戏节奏、动作设计得真的可以用完美来评价。酣畅淋漓，以文入武，以武代文，文戏武戏毫无拖沓，真差不多是从头打到尾了。再和今天的真人剧一对比高下立判。片中干脆利落，甚至人物的死都干脆利落，导致武艺的流失，高手的落败，谜团永远也解不开让人惋惜。例如西门仁最后想给红娘施展真正的梨花枪，却被一戟砍死。他的身世以及真正梨花枪法目前是不会被观众得知细节了。这种残缺的丢失的部分缺恰巧成为了一种类似佛家成坏败空的哲学观点，西门仁死时说世无英雄遂使竖子成名，墙倒众人推着实让观众唏嘘。
一个中式家庭故事一般吵架越多哭得越多越苍白
无论是题材背景还是色彩节奏都挺复古。一度让我认为这就是二十年前的片子。新冠下看SARS背景的台干，移民回流，两岸同胞差的只是时间。
处女作不错看，但剧本的细节还是太戏剧化了，全家都不好好说话，就连吵架都吵不起来，无力感充斥着所有本该带动情绪的地方。演员都不错，林嘉欣很好，妹妹好可爱。
来自豆瓣众友的肯定，这是春节档最佳（让我们吹爆动作戏
动作设计相当出色，拳脚利落，兵器犀利，难得见到的高质量武打设计。武器暗器和名号设计也颇有古典武侠的味道。大反派的人设算是比较出彩的，居然从头至尾都是为恢复临清太平而驱动，一股清流啊。唯一问题是画面和画质太像游戏了，不够流畅，为什么不直接采用2D呢。感觉现在国漫故事和画面很少见到两端平衡的作品，总有一头问题比较大。
很细腻的一部电影，当然不乏略过之处，感觉故事想讲的议题不够明晰。但是，生活其实有时候就是这样，就过去了。当然，我很敬佩母亲，有时候自虐式地为子女付出，有时候自私一点不是更好吗？
打斗行云流水，看着极度舒适。另外赞一下台词，感觉的出制作组有用心去打磨每一句话，反派塑造的也不错。虽然整体故事单薄，但在有限条件之内做出这样一部动画电影，值得赞扬。
绿衣服的小徐超帅。
都在讲民族的身份认同感，那么那些华裔美国人的边缘性身份认同又在哪儿呢？或许生而割裂的人，本该抱歉吧。
打戏延续了剧版高水准，剧情不够跌宕起伏。剧版很多人物都够出外传的，期待更丰富的枕刀歌世界。
这剪辑晃得头晕😵💫，其实运动镜头里的特写没必要这么频繁切多角度来展示动感
讲好故事的同时还留下了什么是太平盛世的思考，国漫现在真的是越来越好了！
称得上是导演的私电影，叛逆少女与家庭、与母亲的和解具有一定的普世意义，但也就仅此而已，一些可以与当下时代产生互文的元素并没有进行深化，比如影片最后的落点2003年的非典与现在新冠，这造成了影片的隔离性。尽管整体不尽人意，但依然还是些戳人的片段，比如即受洗的母亲带小女儿烧纸那段，小女儿的童言稚语很容易让破防。
极为精彩的打斗场面，但故事于表面，像是上世界香港武侠片，类似张彻的高产武侠故事
多好的戏剧冲突环境和背景，但走着走着冲突全都莫名其妙化解了，非典在故事中除了出租车司机的嫌弃，完全没有什么意义，换任何疾病都可以，演讲比赛也没什么下文，文化冲突也没有特别值得提点的地方，导演很刻意避免落俗套了
