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.

我也顺便畅想了AI的令人生畏之处。
虽然不难看出，但是也说不上好看，已经2倍速看了，还是觉得好漫长，好漫长，好漫长
强扭的美好结局就像不切实际的童话
传统魔法：saving a house by saving a world. 本片：saving a house.
一个温馨又感动的故事，AI诗音在八年中付出的各种努力就是为了让悟美幸福，这纯粹又执着的感情，与平常我们以为AI太智能会威胁人类的想法完全不同，前后呼应，借用月亮公主这个主题，贯穿全片的歌声，随之联系起来的友情爱情，看到最后的时候真的是让人热泪盈眶！
故事很简单，很童话，但歌很好听！好喜欢最后的All of You（But stars don't shine, they burn; the constallations shift, I think it's time you learn: you're more than just your gift.）西语的Dos Oruguitas听得让人想学西班牙语。
今年的生日动画电影。其实有点倍速看的，点子很新内核很老，歌还不错有点迪士尼歌曲那味，烟花告白场面超级美，想到了去年夏天看的言语如苏打般显现。还是比较愉快的🤗
喜欢剧中烟花绽放的景观，太阳能板映照夜空的密度，“天气轮之柱”。其实还是很青春的。
虽然我姑且算大河内病友（？），但我还是想跟吉浦康裕说：别信大河内。搭起来太让我痛苦了……最后：我是诗音我早潜伏到女主身边的AI上了。
一个家和万事兴的故事，挺Asian Style
按照家族游戏里面所讲的一样，一个问题重重的家族，没有彻底毁灭掉，是无法进行重建的。而这个家族的“毁灭”，只是浮在表面上的物理毁灭（房子坍塌），那么所谓的重建也是毫无说服力的。
有很可爱的细节。但主剧情实在无聊，毫无进步。看得频频走神。
剧情弱是意料之中的，但真正在精彩就在它的画面表现力上下了功夫。
在吉浦康裕所构想的现代社会中浸润于人的生活环境当中的AI，其存在感却不超过天空之城中生着铁锈的远古机械，因此令高潮失去了所有对峙的强度，令被诗音「拜托」过的AI们完全退化为舞台道具。沉迷于AI与爱的语义转换的日本创作者，在他们手中诞生的AI如同本作标题一样，仅仅是爱的同义语而已。
开头给出的近未来赛博背景让人预期会接触到世界的阴暗与严酷，似乎与“带来幸福”这种魔法少女偶像般的宣言并不搭调。AI前期各种控制机器人和学校设备看得我头疼，这么拽的事只有科技力彻底超越当前文明水准的外星人可以做啊姐姐，你一个现有科技产物再优秀也是瞒得过初一瞒不过十五，被销毁可怎么办啊，这些主角团也是神经大条得居然敢把她带去她的开发者家里，嫌暴露得不够快吗……大人世界的背刺完全是可以想见的发展，不知为什么主角团好像没有考虑过这些，观看时一直会联想到这个不知何时但早已注定的结果，无法享受主角团与AI共度的过程
本来是很期待的，看完觉得有点平，人物都很可爱但又没有什么特别的魅力，除了那个出走的不可说。女主和老奶奶和解那里好突兀。
我永远相信迪士尼🥲和朋友看完坐在影院里对着片尾字幕默默流泪相互递纸巾，感叹一些得不到的东西。南美风情的歌舞太有感染力了，哭一会笑一会好解压。讲家庭题材是迪士尼的拿手好戏，从来没有失手过。题外话就是，我本可以忍受黑暗/如果我不曾见过太阳/然而阳光已使我的荒凉/成为更新的荒凉。
迪士尼又一个行货 基本就是coco+frozen 结果效果只达到了海洋奇缘的水平 最后15分钟还不错 结束在最后一幕又恢复魔法前会更好 毕竟前面主题刚刚升华好 结果一下子又被打回来了 （Bruno房间一打开 好家伙沙丘联动了 合着这个预知未来就是香料吸多了嘛 保罗你脱下马甲说话
又是女主拯救世界的剧情，冰雪、长发、海洋。。。能用心打磨剧本换个思路吗。 够无聊，里面没有一个让人喜欢的角色，也没有一个让人留下印象的角色，歌舞显得刻意和吵闹，完全没有当年狮子王那样自如和灵气，魔法世界来得毫无逻辑，纯属编剧一心情愿，最大冲突的支撑理由过于刻意，属于强行制造戏剧冲突。迪士尼这么多年还在吃合家欢动画的老本，可惜了雄狮少年，在这一堆不能打的动画里显得与众不同，妥妥的年度最佳。 虽然知道今年最佳动画是矮子里面拔高个，可我实在没想到是它，这大概是奥斯卡史上最烂的最佳动画了。逃跑也比这个强啊，好莱坞你们继续自娱自乐吧。
