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.

很神奇，我在一个没有生命的机器身上，看清什么是生命，什么是活着。在人类的道德和规则崩塌之后，芬奇在一个机器人身上延续人性的率真和生机勃勃。世界毁灭了，人性却得以重生。
五年前路过金门大桥，很匆忙，而且桥很长，正犹豫要不要上去看看时，桥头摆摊传教的修女对我说了跟电影里一样的话：“走上去看的话，肯定会不一样的”，这句话让我没有错过金门大桥上的“体验”。当时觉得十年的签证怎么也能去几次吧，谁想疫情持续这么久，让很多事情都变得更珍稀了。 说回电影，其实觉得4星略高，3星又低，如果篇幅更短我会更喜欢～
故事不新颖，画面比较细腻。想当然的被欺负，想当然的遇到恩师，想当然的获胜。
又收割了我的一公升眼泪，虽然又燃又搞笑，但是我却在哭。只能说，文脉武脉，各有一支在岭南。
不要再把人的动作嫁接到机械设定上去，应该设计属于电子机械自己的动作。一想到cg模型后面是一个人在表演，就一身尴尬。
一个老人、一只狗和一个最后懂得生命、与人性意义的机器人的简单公路片。虽然有个末日生存作为背景，但整体平淡舒缓、故事娓娓道来，却从头到尾没觉得枯燥无味。就是很暖，一种在寒夜里递给你一杯热咖啡的暖意，还是被狠狠地治愈和温暖到了！结尾一个很人性化的机器人和一只狗继续开展他们新的旅程，仿佛另一部新电影的开头。
21世纪最好的中国动画片，因为只有它能完完全全撑得起中国两个字，从骨子里弥漫着一种如青松般的劲头，不惧一切地向上爬，不惧困难地疯长，从一颗种子长成枝繁叶茂。三个舞狮的少年，别认，你别认！
好看的，虽然剧情很套路。（后排小孩老是踢椅子，哼。）
前半部《荒野大镖客2》落日余晖，后半部《马里奥奥德赛》平台跳跃。4.0星，从小看到大的、熟悉的广东乡土风景，从未以如此美的姿态出现在全国的大银幕上！ 很快又有另一部电影也要把广东南澳岛的美丽乡镇风光推向全国，2022年2月1日，韩寒《四海》。
Jeff把头靠在Finch怀里的时候就知道这是告别了，人的生命终究是脆弱的，扛过了末日扛过了人心，没能扛过生老病死，留下刚来世界几天的Jeff和狗。其实Finch于Jeff来说，又何尝不是父亲。
哭了，哭的稀里哗啦
真真正正的雄狮觉醒了，国漫终于不靠IP靠原创也走出了一条自己的路。现实主义题材和传统舞狮文化也能融合的如此高燃、热血与感动。小人物的成长，大时代的发展，边缘人的故事与传统文化的结合相辅相成，少年人一跃而起，攀上的不止心中的大山，还有不屈于命运的怒吼。彩蛋好评，2D好评，在一个有星星的夜晚，阿珍爱上了阿强，以及李白说的都对。
故事很简单，不过很适合当下的情境，汤姆汉克斯的独角戏不会让人失望，机器人萌得很。Bye bye miss American pie
这个拍短片也可以的没必要拍两小时吧…………
当然希望国产动画越来越好，但不是文本就是台词都太弱了，加油吧
一种另类的英雄之旅，成为英雄并不会改变生活，但可以改变你自己。英雄也一样要面对生活，而舞狮传奇只是阿娟的序章，他的故事才刚刚开始。
22_015。不完美，人物设计比较老派，配音也不咋的，但景很漂亮和剧情真的燃，到后半看感动了。喜欢主角是为生活奔波而妥协的一般人，甚至最后赢得比赛也不会为他人生带来什么物质上的改变，但人就是需要一些精神上的东西才能支持肉体的前进
这类电影就属于那种感觉没什么剧情发生，但是看完了又能被细节深深打动的电影。

强烈建议Apple TV+与Tom Hanks每年合作一片，不仅用本质不怎么大变的故事巩固“人间有真爱”的“台设”，也可以作为一种得体的节庆仪式感为观众送去慰藉。虽然是对《荒岛余生》+《曼达洛人》+一些被熟知故事的狗片的组合，也是没有太多惊喜的末日设定；但这样上路穿梭其中的趣味感以及所贡献的充满魅力的单人秀还是别致、细腻又动人。最重要的是，比之于阴谋黑暗袭来的未知恐惧，更或是无限延伸的脑洞设想；它只关于一个男人，一只狗，一个机器人；化繁为简的感觉原来如此美妙。
