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.

虽然是小孩子看的动画片，但并不弱智。而且甜甜圈可太萌了！！
带孩子去看了，意外发现很好看，菲拉萌真的长得很萌，故事情节有部分是很新颖的，老少皆宜，语言很现代，很搞笑，小点的孩子有的话可能不明白什么意思，但画面依然很好笑，孩子们难得看的津津有味，全程跟着剧情走，大人也看得很开心，一次不错的体验，一部不错的动画。唯一个缺点，说话太快了，尤其是妹妹，有时候都反应不过来在说什么……😂
一群可爱的甜甜圈小怪物菲拉萌 讲的大概是时空穿梭记录绝版动物，每个动物都超可爱！然后也有贴近现实的历史剧情设计，总的来说很治愈很可爱 值得一看
到最后半小时才get 到这个电影，前1小时都在思考如何睡着
一个动画片，翻译台词差劲，而且语速太快，少年不惜的看，儿童跟不上节奏，一顿尬聊。而且剧情中有一个故意结巴的镜头，孩子看了以后就开始学，后来看了一半赶快走了。
可可爱爱的费洛蒙但欣赏不来，更喜欢独眼巨人。小白瞬间黑化太突然，不得不承认最后半小时好看。故事情节非常低龄化。历史年代穿越的设定还行，当给孩子上历史课了。跨物种的结果我还蛮好奇的，居然不给看
美女，黑丝，湿身，枪战，爆炸，激烈的动作戏，网大拍成这样算是可以了，至于剧情，我这片子完全将注意力集中在女反派身上，要什么剧情
自由马尼拉，枪战每一天。
打戏杀戏真的挺精彩的，又爽又惊。女主真会长，像辛芷蕾、张雨绮，还有… 演的也很有意思，变态杀手的感觉。还有那个抖音网红，包揽全部笑点……但是剧情，em……加油吧。2星半
如果对电影品质有一定的要求，那最好不要浪费时间。
男主是中国夜魔侠吗？瞎了之后简直无敌的存在？！！不过女主挺有意思，从头到尾像疯批，而且人狠话不多，这种反英雄主角才有意思。ps.宣发抖音上看来的，被女主吊带袜吸引的……
还行，就是有点烂尾，到最后边有点收不回来的感觉，可能其他结局不能过审吧
无数的桥段和设计都显得十分刻意生硬，一味的生搬硬套低劣模仿，廉价感十足。
有人负责傻笑，有人负责哭，有人负责浪。最后都被盲僧干掉。
还行，就是有点烂尾，到最后边有点收不回来的感觉，可能其他结局不能过审吧
安志杰啊，文戏就算了，动作戏也没有很精彩啊，只不过有些长镜头不错。拿枪能砸人就算了，纸箱也能砸晕人吗？嗯，女主演狠倒是很有一套的
菲拉萌的样子确实挺可爱，时空穿越的设定也挺有趣就很简单的内容，小狗狗争爱哈哈哈，还有灭绝生物科普，作为亲子片非常合适。
220510看完
感觉好看的部分全在快手短视频的几分钟里了。
真的是很喜欢的一部动画，画面很好看，人物也很可爱，特别适合小朋友去看，推荐
