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.

杰夫第一次给狗狗扔球时，我非常担心他太大力，以至于把球扔到了狗狗都不愿意去捡的距离。
粤语版和普通话版各看了一遍，太精彩了，既搞笑又感人，光影做得很漂亮，满山木棉花和天台独自舞狮这两场戏都很美，最后的比赛非常激动人心，很久没看到这么好看的国产动画了！毛不易的片尾曲很好听！
前半段被画面惊艳到了 后半段被感动 又很热血 总之太燃了 国产动画越来越好了
后半段更精彩 很燃 瑕不掩瑜 多打一分支持国漫
听着五条人和九连真人的歌响起，我不禁在剧院里大喊广东文艺要复兴了吗？
最后结尾落点太棒了，当他打算跳擎天柱，大家开始一起打鼓，我还在想，不行啊不能跳上去啊。很好，超现实镜头出现，阿娟落入水中，最后狮头落在最高点，太棒了。人生可以尝试翻越最高的那一座山，但是一山比一山高，总有一座山是上不去的，上山，下山，我们都还需要学习。女阿娟角色的设定也蛮好的，女性身份让她没那么自由的舞狮，而少年也顶着阿娟这个名字，跳上高点，这个时候，性别不重要，心中有雄狮才是最重要的。
真的是非常中二 片头水墨画竟是全片最精彩的部分
看完后莫名的心情低落…有同感的吗？抑或只是时也命也？
虽然嫌弃故事老套，但是又很吃这一套，真的很热血很好哭！不得不夸一下这部电影的配乐，每个配乐的出现都有让电影加分，尤其是在前半段剧情有点拉垮的时候。还有就是画面，太好看了吧！导演真的牛，期待以后更多好作品！
广东话版如同狮头点睛！// 中宏影城长江国际店，4.0分。优缺点都很多但整体惊喜，值得鼓励。舞狮段落都非常好看（最后的天台告别和比赛尤其好看，虽然也是有深厚的真人影视养料，但也整合了真实的地理环境），前期的很多动作和镜头设计就显得很“省钱/破碎”。城乡风貌是所看国产动画里最写实与完整的；所以即使前半段尴尬与老土的地方不少，但它不是新装封神里的装神称帝的，而是有了气味契合的舞台。女阿娟不再舞狮、男阿娟回归工地（且不说其他女性角色的设置，但是剧本将胜利多少收束在个人的、局部的、暂时的、无济的，其实我也就觉得这种残忍客观降低了道德风险），结局短暂平和、却如鲠在喉，上海的地标建筑以很不合理的方式出场，就像是宿舍里的招贴画一样。
终于跳出泛滥的神话IP，以一副体育励志的面孔回归现实，直面城乡的生活，直面大都市的吞噬性。物质现实的复原程度，无论是不是以国产动画的维度来衡量，都算得上非常出色了，就比如核心元素的狮子，那种竹篾、绒布、彩纸舞动起来的质感一度让人忘了自己在观看一部动画电影，而且即便情节、配乐方方面面都给足了情绪，影片也并未陷入春药式励志的陷阱。
看到最后眼泪停不下来，可能越是单纯的感情越让人感动，人与动物与机器人之间的感情荒诞简单却狠狠打动到我。片尾曲好听舍不得关。
《雄狮少年》这个温暖的故事适合冬天，愿每一个平凡的我们都能找到少年的影子，笑泪而过中，不忘心底最柔软的那部分。
综合来看属于近几年国产动画里最扎实可喜的一部，那种动画里常见的花里胡哨不接地气的问题得到了极大的改善，虽然是热血少年向，但意外地写实，留守儿童和舞狮文化结合的也很自然，喜剧部分和比赛的情绪感染力都到位，没有依赖神话IP加分，五条人的歌曲和各种梗的运用也很增色，很推荐去看，毕竟南狮实在是太可爱了没有人可以不被萌到
论走心好故事的重要性。一人，一狗，两机器人的末世科幻片，没有反派，没有动作戏，也没有大场面（除了一些cgi极端天气），节奏极度缓慢，却极其引人入胜，理工绝症男主创造了直立AI机器人只为托孤，而孤居然是条狗，这也太暖了吧
汉克斯又一个圣父似的角色。他这种演员这种形象和他代表的东西，后继无人，就像片子里的芬奇一样，眼看要死绝了。故事是老故事，所以就看细节吧。无人医院玻璃走廊，玻璃上插满用来遮光的X光片。狗叫“goodyear”，好名字（演员表里有狗演员的大名：Seamus）。夕阳之下，杰夫的橙色铁头，芬奇知更鸟蛋蓝的T恤，如此美好的色彩。
2.故事是《黄飞鸿三之狮王争霸》➕《少年黄飞鸿》➕《少林足球》
以前一直说国产动画电影技术不行，这次被狠狠打脸了。除人物外的各种建模，场景纵深，光影渲染，材质精细程度都有了质的提升。有了技术，自然需要一个合格的剧本，加上足够优秀的原创音乐。谁说中国动漫电影就只会从中国神话题材里面找素材？基于传统文化的现实主义题材一样可以出彩！前半部分影院里面的小朋友们还叽叽喳喳，渐入佳境之后就没有发出任何的杂音了。一股难得的少年气直冲云霄，一切定格在了那明知不可为而为之的瞬间！中国原创动画的大旗，就靠这些年轻人们扛起了！
前面剧情有点生硬，但镜头、画面和配乐实在太贴合剧情了，最后的结局也没有落入俗套。看着阿娟的外在形象随着心态的转变而越发硬朗，你会不自觉感慨，在舞狮的竞技场上，他就是一头雄狮。
眯缝眼宽眼距吊梢眼，主创这部剧在法国拿了奖，刻意迎合国外对国人的恶趣味，打着国漫的旗号做着恶心人的事在国内割韭菜
