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.

通过独一无二的自己创造属于自己的荣誉。
合格分，有两只怪兽的设定参考了中国龙和日本相扑手，挺有意思的
个人观感倒还不错的动画电影。不过看片过程中还是情不自禁地想：既然将人类的摔跤运动转换到怪兽身上，那某些场景
七分
很正的体育文化，同时告诉我们，体育俱乐部的社区建设，不能压住在明星球员上。
故事的结局肯定是能猜到的，但是也有自己的价值输出，也还不错吧
一个犹太拳击手的传记电影，在集中营他揍死了七十多个同胞只为自己能苟活下来，这种野蛮的求生欲却是来自于对初恋情人的执念。过程很残忍，结局很无语。
……我为什么要看这么一部电影？情节低幼老套，逻辑混乱，主角也没啥成长性。画面精细程度甚至不像好莱坞作品。我真的觉得还不如国产的熊出没系列。
故事比较简单 当爆米花爽片看 不能要求更多
美国老套情节，不好不差，可看可不看，动画还是很优秀的
幸存者真的很“幸”吗？他们带着痛苦的回忆，甚至与噩梦同眠。但他们不幸吗，也不是，毕竟生就代表着希望，可以重新来过，可以重获幸福。关键在于如何看待过去，如何目向远方。
扣一分来自于大量英语的对话…在德国人和poland犹太人之间
通过独一无二的自己创造属于自己的荣誉。
幸存者 相当相当的平庸。选题极好，一个集中营幸存者不得不用拳头打死人来活下来，战后去美国当了拳击手。导演处理的也不错，集中营里全部用黑白，而且穿插在现实时空的彩色中，画面看着很有质感。但故事讲的一塌糊涂，集中营里就是前史，不断去打死人的机器，完全看不出男主角的心理状态，也看不出他生活的环境给他的压力。现实时空打拳的理由也很好，为了出名让女友能看到报纸来找他，但集中营里完全没有渲染这个理由，现实里又出现了新恋情。人物动机一直在漂移，很难有力量让角色自己活起来。看完的理由其实想知道这么乱的人物该怎么结尾，没想到结尾又开了个新时空来结束故事。。。。。
约会APP广告吧，过于狗血，不过也许小镇上的人际关系就是这么错综复杂吧
海天一线的黑白格调，苏格兰特有的格子情怀，独自行走的贵族少年，张开双臂感受风的自由。
三个星给CG 其它是垃圾中的战斗机 过家家一样靠跳舞打败对手 你咋不来个托马斯回旋 情节点设置糟糕 人物设定是脸谱化的代表 派拉蒙动画做得真拉
很欢乐，剧情稍显简单，但是看完还挺开心的。
很无聊老套的剧情，故事简直太美式爆米花了也，简直是照着编剧手册一笔一画临摹的作品吧，没有一点儿的新意和惊喜，没意思的紧。
