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.

那个狐狸我印象一直很深。。觉得她长的很像某个幼儿园阿姨。。
影片失败的地方还是人物关系简单，一眼就看穿了故事的脉络，没有精细思维支持复杂剧情的痕迹，在于皆是二元对立思想作怪，除了好人就是坏人，那中间过渡派哪去了？比如狐狸精这一角色，真有变戏法的功夫，搁在西方肯定是自己篡权为皇帝，还用得着跪舔小皇帝么？而且还要修改成狐狸精一心一意为民谋利，却依旧悲剧不断的结果，进而证明社会力量不是靠一人之力就可维系运转的结论。
在我心目中，这部确实是第一。动画长片中，中国文化载体的顶峰。
小时候自己看过 后来上初中了和妹妹一起看过 再大了又和姥姥一起看过
社会主义化的《平妖传》，官场污秽一片，庙里也不干净，只有农民淳朴善良，一毛也不多拿。狐狸一家亲情感人；另都学会点石成金了还要讨好权力阶级，果然中国好狐狸，公务员铁饭碗才是正道。古典悲剧结尾。旧上海美术制片厂的传统中国动画，二维和抽象的美很好；没有文艺复兴的文化基础，不必一味追求好莱坞化。
成年人在一人包场观影的电影院里睡着了💤，可能过了儿童的年纪再看低幼动画片就感觉十分无聊，自己在侮辱自己智商吧。
小时候听说过没看过，现在补看依然是国产动画片的巅峰之作。三只狐狸精真的特别有意思。
【8.0】#siff2019#留在记忆里就好了，这次重温的观感其实并不好，虽然我真的超爱上美了。但是，这次重看感觉叙事方面不太好，片子整体在上美的作品里也算是比较低龄的了，偏重于嘻笑打闹吧。所以留在回忆里就好～
大小道理全盘 笑点泪点全含 推理胜过柯南 肯定要比博人传燃
充满想象力，也是一部真正的国产动画大片，可怜现在的国产动画质量实在太次了
可视为成人动画~
经典，那会儿有这么长时间的动画片，卡通形象都非常不错。
天书实则是上层阶级对下层阶级统治的资源，天机不可泄露亦是阶级固化的一种形式，而袁公、蛋生所代表的打地主、均土地的共产主义者最终被资本家所扼杀，天书的前言也是资本家虚伪的谎言，
小時候就就覺得很好看啊！不知道為什么現在的中國動畫這么難看
故事比较简单但确实是古代民间故事的味儿，画面则是杂糅了多种传统艺术，脸谱、剪纸、传统玩具、年画、寺庙绘画的元素均有引用，因此影片的民族特色非常鲜明，这也是本片盛赞的一点。联系诞生年代即可知影片中诸多赤裸裸的讽刺源自哪个时代——那个时代的创作者是不可能回避这个主题的。比《大闹天宫》《哪吒闹海》弱，因为不管是主题还是画面表现都差了一截。
游丝描绘众生相，
袁公被抓走时对蛋生说“你要好自为之啊”，在修复版看到片尾剧本文字描述场景:白云弥漫，天地苍苍。非常震撼，很正统的中国美。
角色情节都恨经典、灰常长的动画片，小时候电视台总是总分几天播完，很不爽。
麻烦各位进目录主页，点赞，最好点成最高赞让更多人看到
长时间的等待果然不负期待，以校园风开展的无厘头推理，恶搞和荒诞的事件延续一贯风格，升华的友谊主题和精英教育的批判，又非常到位，多线交织的情况下又不会突兀，真是难得的佳作（选材真的很棒），即便野原一家的镜头不多，每每出现却让我感动万分，尤其当美伢广志看到小新跑步时的那番对话，泪已经在打转了，呜呜呜，我的新酱！！
