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.

某几个片段以为甚至在看动画版的星际穿越，好莱坞流水线电影的典型特征复习，以至于无法取得任何情绪波动，没有任何出彩的地方，就连萌猫和搞怪彩蛋也救不了。
皮克斯日渐迪士尼化系列。玩总系列，谁不是玩具谁就输了——在机器猫面前，巴斯光年黯然失色。只能说，这是一部好猫片，而非巴斯光年玩具种草向应有的样子。
皮克斯什么时候也开始用让角色犯傻逼的方式来推动剧情了啊。。。本来也就是个普通的三段式结构，就算设计不出来出彩的剧本也不要这样摆烂吧.。。。
我们的敌人只有自己
在当今好莱坞ZZZQ+卖情怀卖IP的时代下，迪士尼（皮克斯）更是“当仁不让”（包括但不限于黑人+独立女性+LGBT），但问题是光叠Buffe卖情怀也是没用啊，电影还是得讲好故事才行！就这部电影而言，我宁可它不是皮克斯出品的，因为质量实在是太一般，甚至有点拉，可能唯一亮点就是电影里那只机器猫吧。反正打发时间流媒体看的，两星，可看可不看。
仅仅7分，豆瓣你他娘的肯定在开玩笑。
皮克斯今年没有拿出优秀的作品，年初的《青春变形记》虽然故事吸引眼球但本质上还是友情与家庭的认可，全然比不上《心灵奇旅》《寻梦环游记》一众电影的深度，本期待着这部《玩具总动员》的衍生片能带来惊喜，结果还是在固步自封。
很老套的英雄主义叙事。科幻设定讲得不清不楚，导致核心矛盾让人不明就里——老巴斯光年怎么就和新巴斯光年打起来了？
呃，既然标榜宽容与多样为何做了个如此平庸又典型的白男英雄故事呢？
跟玩具总动员没什么关系，一个独立的故事，特效在线，故事就那样吧……也不至于太差，随便看看还行
合格的迪斯尼 但這絕不是我期待了幾年的皮克斯 imdb撲到6分都沒有 唉
愣是没听出美队的声音来，反正辨识度没有他的屁屁高。额外一星给小咪咪，话说它的配音也是在是很逗，比如那特别标准的“喵”，哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
雖然老套，但在一些時空穿梭的情感上還是有動人，有關光速冒險的精神。另外巴斯最後的自我發現其實跟阿凡達有點像，當年阿凡達這一點讓我記得滿深，再看這部讓我理解這算是某種美國精神。
前后半段故事割裂感很强。主要在最后一次试飞降落回来后，新角色的加入时间点太晚，虽然说是前指挥官的孙女，但还是没能链接融合在一块。
真的不喜欢那种让人血压升高的角色和剧情，某位队友真的太太太烦人了。。。sox全场最佳，哪有这么靠谱的阿喵。电影有星际穿越，星战的影子，包括反派从不露脸开始都能直接猜到。没有燃点...看完现在没啥感觉...
有点平庸，安迪最喜欢的电影似乎应该比这个水平要强一点，本来以为会是一个惊心动魄的太空故事，结果起点和上限都不高，故事也算言之有物但不太激动人心。作为一个系列老粉还是乐见toystory 宇宙形成，不过没有原著小说可能还是有点剧本短板，toystory系列可以说是Pixar大历史系列，希望能继续下去
让人唏嘘。
抱着我的巴斯一起看，猫猫真的太可爱了，不能去电影院看真的可惜，To the infinity and beyond！
是大橘Sox支撑我看完了电影。这个和toy story毫无关系。
前面的飞行试验让我想起了飞屋环游记，可惜，之后的剧情一塌糊涂，反正我看我是不会想买巴斯的。
