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.

电影后半段我几乎是情绪失控的，哭得不能自已。忘我空间里那些吞没小人的黑色粉末很像抑郁情绪的具象化，不是每个人都能像22那么幸运有男主去把她拉出泥潭，但电影还是很有启示意义的，能平凡的活着，享受当下的每个看似不起眼的瞬间，就已经很厉害啦
当年中国本土动画水准绝对一流，再瞅瞅现在...中国动画的出路就在这些老动画身上了...
目标不是意义，无差别的每个当下碎片更不是。能组成完整的人生图景的拼图才是。
全程都在与我对话……暴击，哭的快窒息了
咨询师说，“做这件事你会快乐，那你就去做它。你只能让你自己快乐，他们的快乐是他们自己的事情。”“我们比较推荐的就是活在当下。”所谓的永恒都在一瞬之间，但当你真正认识到，真正抵达此刻，抵达这一秒时，永恒是什么，已经不重要了。
亲爱的，不要听什么诸子百家
#LFF2020 / 加入2D元素，毕加索风格的Jerrys,震撼的Great Beyond世界，色调温柔舒适的Great Before世界，让人听到入迷的爵士乐， 以及带有对“灵魂”与“存在”哲学性思考的内核; 画面音乐剧情都将近完美，艺术风格抽象但又充满力量。 皮克斯在成立将近35年后又登上了一个新的台阶😭
22被那么那么多伟人教育，但它没有找到活下去的意义。天赋使命都是扯淡，这个就是许多信息时代的人们，背了那么多伟大的人做榜样，也过不好一生。
这两年的皮克斯已经沦为了甜蜜治愈的情感棉花糖，有一种90年代励志的光。但完全失去了inside out里bingbong消失时带给你仰面一拳泪如雨下的震撼感。我喜欢龇牙咧嘴却自恋的球球，也会被微小的细节打动。但很遗憾这个故事非要再给Joe一次机会，所以它没有更直接的把故事的核心说完：你用尽力气，放弃梦想，对爱有心无力，过不好平凡的一生。那也没什么。”
累了就抬头看看天，看看树，看看各自奔忙的行路人。
3.5 整体故事还是太俗套了。高潮篇章可以看到汤浅政明的《梦的机器》的影子，更显得汤浅的鬼才和天赋，反而让人觉得，皮克斯这次只是做了一个合格的剪刀手，把各种看似天马行空的素材拼凑一体，还要再叠加迪士尼传统单项——煽个情。
在琐碎生活之中寻找生的快乐，正是解救一切虚无主义的良药。
演出效果不错，但故事是毒鸡汤。黑人小哥本来就很有钢琴才能，之前演出失败是编剧硬设的。叛逆小妹也没有特别到四千年始终投胎失败。所以这片子最大亮点是对纽约的爱…然而到最后叛逆小妹好像投胎去了西藏。
满分之作，精彩绝伦，创意与技术的绝对领先！技术是手段，内核才添神韵。琴键之上，探讨何谓灵魂与存在，探讨何谓生之意义。一部适合所有年龄段观众的佳作～
治愈、鸡汤对人的生活固然不可或缺，此类作品创作基于对社会心理（情绪的雕琢）和社会意识（剧情的设计）的洞察，它和观众之间所建立的关系，更像一个社会学模型。当它被放入一个至少大面上保持良性运转的社群里，它能唤回初心；但是当它被放入一个虚假地所谓良性运转的社群中，它则充满了欺骗性。

谢谢让我在人生的这个阶段看到这部电影
高纳终于实现了梦想，但他突然发现，他追求了一辈子的东西并不是他想象中那么高大上。
要说活着的必要条件是有理想与目标，那我大概是还没准备好就被人一脚从天上踹下来的。只谈对生活哪怕一瞬间的喜欢，我倒是可以再活几年。
补评，在我记忆里是上美，甚至是国产动画片最后的经典之作，之后没有了！别提那些狗尾续貂的作品！剧情上，我是哭着离开剧场的（小时候），成年人了，看此片还有其他的深度，就不谈了。
