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.

头顶 苍穹 努力地生活。”
我无法想象国产竟然真会有这种品质的动画电影，如此出色的配乐，运镜，光影细节，乃至悲喜结合的节奏感，把我原以为会很枯燥的舞狮拍得这么趣味横生又热血澎湃，甚至她能在兼顾商业的同时把目光瞥过广州工地里的背乡劳工，某一刻可以看到梦想在现实的昏黄泡沫里浮沉。坐在电影院的第二十分钟就想对全世界大喊安利它，真的，太棒了。
人物建模过于难看导致无法入戏，先不说只练习一两个月加上打工的时候抽空练习就能打败功力深厚的老选手们，告诉你只要努力一下子就可以成为顶峰有多么的成人童话，但是你最起码让我把这个梦好好做完啊，舞狮前两名然后主角的选择还是去工地搬砖不正是说明了传统文化已经没落连饭都吃不起，看个电影这么致郁至于吗
本片讲述了一个小镇废柴少年为了证明自己不是废柴开始学习舞狮，并创造擂台上的奇迹的“热血故事”。对于这种热血+插科打诨般的笑料切入在国产类型片已经见怪不怪，国产片《五个扑水的少年》跟这片的套路几乎一样，看不出什么新意，跟哪吒相比，宿命论似乎并没有被破除，即便是拿了舞狮冠军创造了奇迹，也只是跟白富美一起拍了一张照而已，并没有破除主人公作为小镇青年原生的宿命，跟张伟高考之后去上个二本本质上也没啥区别。既然无数遍在强调努力，也努力了，但现实也是一样的一地鸡毛，我热血了，我激情了，但我幸福吗？一遍遍的嘶吼，意义又何在呢？
诶，有点期待粤语版。周星驰的影响深远。音乐加分，画面加分，赢的漂亮。
粤语2D场，周星驰式的欢乐电影，最后时刻，女主为阿娟敲鼓，还有最后的合影，想起了【秋天的童话】电影结束时，船头尺和李琪相视一笑，当你以为那是他们故事开始的时候，导演张婉婷却说，他们并没有在一起，那只是他们生命中最美的时刻。两人没有相遇可能生命就失去了那一抹色彩，也就没有了后面的故事。人最难的就是面对自己驱赶内心的恐惧，唤醒心中沉睡的那头雄狮吧，祝愿那些为生活奔波奋斗的人啊，愿他们都能守护自己的梦想和家人。
拍的很好，少年阿娟成功把残破的狮头挂在了擎天柱上
在离家期间看直接看哭，生活是越不过的擎天柱，有人还非得带着信念孤注一掷；有闲暇才能赞扬生活的昂扬斗气，更多的时候是不被人理解的孤苦无依。
当年港流自由地“西拿东凑”野蛮生长，
没在故纸堆里挖童话，人物造型不再模仿日美漫画。
金刚狼引领着，病猫，瘦猴，肥猪所组成的咸鱼队，在一场绝·美的舞狮大赛中，大放异彩，技压群芳的励志故事。
之前因为练车已经有好几个月没去电影院了，到年底才补了这一部。说实在的，我更愿意相信这是好莱坞的一部讲中国故事的动画或是一部合拍动画，如果从这个角度来看这确实是一部好动画。然而很遗憾不是，所以我就不明白为什么非得拍成这样了。不过好歹因为今年真正的好莱坞动画都不怎么理想，我还是愿意给这个评价，但也仅仅是如此了。
舶来金凯瑞表演注入市井灵魂造就周星驰，
舶来冒险基顿嫁接有血有肉小人物催生成龙。
文化自信的内核应该是真实的自信，而不是自卑
在电影中，我们能看到很多现实主义内容，比如伤病、欺凌、留守儿童、农民工等。
估中了电影有《世间始终你好》的插曲
多一星支持国产和为所有配乐歌曲。比哪吒好看多了。现实讨生活的部分很真实。踏着萤火虫奔跑的细节很动人。不认，我不认。听到Fly Away的时候好喜欢，听到Rolling On的时候头皮发麻，最后无限单曲循环无名的人。敬你的沉默和每一声怒吼，敬你低着头上山往高处走。要对身边比你处境更差的人温柔。像是在对我两年半的大湾区生活告别，走之前去一趟广州看舞狮吧。
广东自然风物表现得比较好，可是广东风俗就完全无法代入了。曾经吐槽过一反映澳门的电视剧里，让当地人生啃黄瓜，这片竟然也有，不敢说广东人完全不这样吃，但拿黄瓜当水果那样吃是少见的。人物来说，给人感觉就不像广东人，无论体型、脸型、做事风格，就像是一群北方人生活在广东。更别说被人吐槽得很多的在广州打工，几年都不回家。感觉这片就是用一个励志主题来结合舞狮，但广东风俗文化是很不到位的。
1、精准的周星驰式无厘头笑点，生活的艰辛与梦想的热血碰撞的经典剧情，精致流畅的作画和镜头调度，极具特色又恰如其分的配乐。在一个相当俗套的故事下把一切都做到了几乎完美。
