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.

片名叫错位的青春，电影视听也错位。漫改电影不可避免的夸张化尴尬化在片子里毫无意外一一踩雷。表演的不成熟，剧作和视听的错位，一会黑化丧化，一会情欲化，一会甜美化，一会轻松化，风格反复横跳，看起来内容是塞得满满的，但连最基础的人物动机都没有捋明白。
错位的青春、错过的爱情，幼稚的脾气、做作的宣言、沉痛与发泄、离别与寂灭，结尾有些泄气。
本来还期待它比较好笑，事实证明并没有。钱老板身材是真的好。
最后，反派是狗狗，很好，只有在中国，美国导演才有机会不用顾虑政治正确吧。狗也变成政治正确的一份子了，达尔文怎么也想不到的吧。
Brad Pitt耍帅还没耍完就被突然爆头大概是本片最大的亮点了。所有主角都在绿幕前轻轻松松地完成的电影，何必当真。
勉强及格。角色们设定都只是初三学生而已（当然露上身的石川瑠华其实已经24岁），这就让主角之间的情欲关系坦诚的有点惊人。女生只能去看家乡唯一一片小海滩，每次上山都试图捡到什么宝藏；男生因哥哥被霸凌到自杀，整个是攒劲复仇的自我封闭状态。这样的两个人彼此撕扯，编导不会因为他们的年龄淡化其中的残酷性，这反而是全片落力和出挑的地方——两人赤身相对，一个说为自己平板身材抱歉，一个说你只要有个穴就可以了。 又说妳以后会遇上别人，若无其事像第一次做。女生冲到翻脸的男生家，火急火燎脱光衣服强推他。这些陷入困境的人，对自己也是够狠。结尾当然是都走了出来，畅快复仇、追寻令自己欢笑的恋人，或是看到更宽广的海。全片节奏比较单一，男女主的心理动机应该是受困于演技，呈现的不充分，和配角的互动不太好。石川瑠华有点门肋麦的意思
对低幼动画原本没啥兴趣，冲着中配看的，所以原本没啥期待，但是可能因为本来也没啥期待所以看完意外的觉得还不错，无脑纯打发时间看，很合家欢看得我还挺开心的。整体打分三星半。很喜欢马老师配的腹黑大boss小白狗，前面卖萌装无辜和后面掉马还挺反差萌的，还有宝木老师配的爱德丧丧的也好可爱。看到片子中有很多中国元素，就怀疑是不是国产，结果一搜，果然是中美合拍的，剧情还是有点皮克斯那味儿的，虽然编剧还是老外，但是实在太烦以往国产儿童动画电影动不动就说教了，对于国产来说这部从头到尾剧情不枯燥不说教就已经算是不错了，因为这个可以多加半星友情分。
很好看啊 一个动画片你想有什么内涵？？？？

主要是后面好多都睡过去了。。有些小梗还可以，皮特也太惨了
刚反应了下小白狗的逻辑很不对，他明明从一开始放着这几个甜甜圈不管就行了
每年不知道要看多少垃圾日影才能遇上这么一部生猛的新作。对爱与性的探寻与青春的迷茫和孤独交织，说不清的复杂感情反而纯真的让人不忍亵渎。两次犹豫不决的亲吻，一场忽然放晴的台风，然后青春便如同梦魇一般刹那间消失的无影无踪。剪辑和配乐很有风格，两位小演员近乎完美。4+
非常适合小朋友，内容充实，故事曲折，节奏明快，人物品格积极向上，关键是不像很多动画片把小孩子当傻子

就是Brad Pitt 这便当领的太突然，有点让人猝不及防。
很适合小朋友。3-5岁那种，装嫩的小朋友不ok
这么多中国元素的电影。。。。竟然是大陆出品。那就是这么多欧美元素。。。
陪孩子看的，动画制作一般，胜在故事不错，希望国产动画更上一层楼。
我说浩宝的那段rap怎么突然那么专业还有点熟悉
萌是萌的，情节也还行，3岁半的娃，光吃爆米花了
