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.

五年前路过金门大桥，很匆忙，而且桥很长，正犹豫要不要上去看看时，桥头摆摊传教的修女对我说了跟电影里一样的话：“走上去看的话，肯定会不一样的”，这句话让我没有错过金门大桥上的“体验”。当时觉得十年的签证怎么也能去几次吧，谁想疫情持续这么久，让很多事情都变得更珍稀了。 说回电影，其实觉得4星略高，3星又低，如果篇幅更短我会更喜欢～
配角完全工具人，人物和景物像是俩团队搞出的风格
最后十分钟眼泪不止，他明明没有表情，但我看懂了他的所有情绪，这就是爱！真他娘的又浪漫又悲壮
如监制张苗先生所说“审美要有底线，也要有创新”，这个创新很可，无滤镜真实生活。
之前因为练车已经有好几个月没去电影院了，到年底才补了这一部。说实在的，我更愿意相信这是好莱坞的一部讲中国故事的动画或是一部合拍动画，如果从这个角度来看这确实是一部好动画。然而很遗憾不是，所以我就不明白为什么非得拍成这样了。不过好歹因为今年真正的好莱坞动画都不怎么理想，我还是愿意给这个评价，但也仅仅是如此了。
整体挺好莱坞的，有的地方甚至有点刻意套路。但是中国电影能有基本套路的样子也是进步。很优秀，情感有穿透力，今年少有的好电影，值20亿。配曲配乐非常牛逼了，上映要去看！
所以，臭氧层如期变香，人类也会走上穷途末路，防不胜防并以邻为壑，而机器人即将踏上远大前程——为享受人道主义的狗狗开罐头。
不知道是不是期待太高，感觉非常非常一般，看了开头可以猜到后面90%的剧情，台词悬浮，逻辑生硬，看起来就是很多梗的拼凑。说是现实主义剧情，但这逆袭的剧情无论如何都是超现实了。画面制作确实用心，但对一部作品的成功来说基本可以忽略不计。
只想圣诞节靠在床上，手边有暖和的苹果汁，和喜欢的人一起看。这个世界没有人类，好像更加宁静了。即便只有一个很小的切口，也能写出很隽永很动人的故事。没有什么比真诚更难能可贵的品质。
片子叫芬奇不叫杰夫，是因为废土设计的机器人杰夫一直叫着芬奇的名字。它被制造出来的使命是保护那只小狗，将死的人希望让这微小崇高的人性延续下去。就那么简单，世界让你我成为孤岛，但我最爱的机器人，照顾好我最爱的小狗，总会有希望的。
jeff的内心太细腻了 开心到跺脚 委屈到抱胸 小心翼翼的探头探脑…
气质上是很像《荒岛余生》的，也有《瓦力》《遗愿清单》元素。小品级故事，人物世界观都很完整，机械道具和特效都一点不含糊。只是作为长片的话有点不够值回票价，还好只是在苹果流媒体上上线的。
没有任何舞狮基础的三个人，经过了村里不得志的师傅的调教，在短短的几个月时间里，突然就有了可以傲视群雄的实力？
弘扬传统，科普舞狮，加分。场景写实，很中国城乡结合部，采风的确下了一番功夫。故事俗不可耐，但失意中年与底层混子的逐梦，也可称热血。令人遗憾的便是面部建模，宽眼距加吊眼角，令人出戏，连后排的孩子见到阿猫也惊呼：“这人怎么没眼睛呀！”呔，因此而引发热议，致使大众无法聚焦于电影的艺术价值，埋没了其他主创人员的工作成果，不可谓不遗憾。
真真正正的雄狮觉醒了，国漫终于不靠IP靠原创也走出了一条自己的路。现实主义题材和传统舞狮文化也能融合的如此高燃、热血与感动。小人物的成长，大时代的发展，边缘人的故事与传统文化的结合相辅相成，少年人一跃而起，攀上的不止心中的大山，还有不屈于命运的怒吼。彩蛋好评，2D好评，在一个有星星的夜晚，阿珍爱上了阿强，以及李白说的都对。
汉克斯继荒岛余生后又一部单人表演的电影。泪点在芬奇和杰夫拥抱的那一刻。
这部电影为什么叫芬奇呢？
世界末日，一台四驱的老车，一个将死的人，一条无主的狗，一个手工的AI，一条公路……
就完全是一个美剧pilot的感觉，埋了很多可以展开的点，然后一看导演，果然，在那部《重生男人》之后，中间的执导履历都是美剧。
好看的飞起来！看到了周星驰和香港电影的影子。很棒！
