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.

依旧是这个系列最擅长的换视角解扣的手法，因为此前大套路基本如此让这一部也并不至于惊叹的地步，但是完成度还是不错的。这一集是以夺宝为主题，第一章以达子的视角开，和两个伙伴要为了争夺一个英雄的名号，而要去马耳他拿到一个国宝维也纳。在富豪那边遇到了已经扮作美术商潜入的小少爷，和开篇就出现的国际刑警，眼看计划要得手，富豪老婆却和小少爷都被绑架了。于是第二章以小少爷的视角开始出，这一切看似都在他算计当中，接近富豪老婆，等到他发现富豪老婆心脏病发，良心发现要举报达子等人。视角再换到理查德，看似下了一盘很大的棋，策划了绑架案。结果三人都因为小少爷的举报被捕。第四章随之开始，是国际刑警和日本警察的视角，原来早发现三人身份，又如何故意中计，其实是了解小少爷会被情感左右加以利用。再后发现国际刑警居然就是BOSS
虽然可以当成漫画剧场版，但节奏真的可以再紧凑点！
渣东是真的没有下一部了吧。哎，看到star的时候突然咯噔了一下，还有在心里默默想起了哈鲁马～
虽然说套路都能猜到但我仍然觉得这是剧场版最精彩的一部。以及想念活在台词中的杰西和star
可以到此为止了，一以贯之的反转套路。因为演员(江口)的关系有联动《同一屋檐下》好怀念。
整个系列所谓的反转，基本上都是置之死地而后生！
唐人街探案式的瞎胡闹，框架虽老土但还算严密
相比起Toy Story系列，这部spin-off可以如此不打动人，令人意外。Izzy这个角色还算合理，另外两个sidekick实在是出现得莫名其妙非常牵强。至于引起争议的同性家庭，不留意根本就不会注意到，也因此显得多此一举，形式上的representation罢了。机器人的设计算是唯一亮点。
光年正传和玩具总动员一点关系也没有，通篇是以人类为视角，各种作死征服太空，再次沦为了俗套的冒险电影。ZZZQ和各种同性恋桥段看得也很无感，Chris Evans配音又如何？他只不过是个为迪士尼打工的旗下艺人罢了。imdb目前4.6分，皮克斯所有动画片里的历史最低分！
胡子男和fox capture plan的配乐 我爱麻酱
越来越乏味了，现在一开头已经能猜到结局了。怀念当年的惊艳
和浪漫篇的结构是一样的耶，以及日本人（尤其是偶像出身的人）就一定要像演舞台剧一样在荧幕上尽情嘶吼打滚吗？
愈发觉得东出昌大演技差，反派像有什么大病。star和jessi道具出演令人伤感。
在我們看之前，小夥伴對我說網上有不少人對片中出現了拉拉親吻表示不滿，議論紛紛，我還在驚訝是有什麼了不得的小朋友不能看的情節嗎？結果看了後發現就只是一閃而過的鏡頭而已，就這？居然會引起這麼多人不滿？說好的六月Pride Month支持LGBT的呢？原來都只是說說而已嗎？總體而言，這部電影整體情節一般般，適合闔家歡觀看，屬於爆米花電影，是真的，我和小夥伴吃完了一整份超大盒的爆米花，撐得我們連晚餐都吃不下了。
和玩具总动员系列毫不相关，迪士尼如果原创能力为0了，我其实并不介意老IP故事新讲或是前世今生讲自传的。电影无功无过，但平庸到彩蛋我都能提前猜到。
“生活在此处”vs“执着别处”的讨论很有意思。但是我好喜欢“光年”这个设定啊。一瞬光年，物是人非，有点《三体》的赶脚了。最后，照例剧透：机器大魔王其实就是未来的巴斯光年自己。变邪恶了。“遇见另一个自己”这个主题我也好喜欢。另外，电子宠物小可爱猫猫被邪恶版的巴斯光年踩死了。哭唧唧。
整个世界都在下沉，“你永远可以信任皮克斯”，只不过信任的方向已经从“惊喜”“深度”，变成了“稳定”“简单”。巴斯光年，同时兼具钢铁侠的独立反骨和美国队长的不合时宜，怎么拍都不会让小孩子讨厌吧
赤星真的别太爱了我说，虽然损失了钱财但是你的到了快乐其实也有爽到对吧（斯德哥尔摩没救惹）
各种反转，一路下来这一部是反转最大的一部。因为电影主题是“骗”，怎么圆都能圆过来。
开篇点题：讨厌菜鸟！一会一个失误的剧情，很破坏故事节奏，简直要看不下去了！很讨厌！白瞎了这么好的动画质感！
