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.

缺点:
20年影院复工时看第一部时，杭州的那个影院空荡荡地，只有我一个人看，所以第一部里索尼克自己形单影只在球场自娱自乐将孤独放大了数倍。第二部终于有了更多伙伴，不过第一部里和甜甜圈大王互动比较多，这里和真人互动少了许多。金凯瑞还是那么奋力展示着喜剧天赋。但人物的简单，即使他努力搞笑也显得孱弱。第三部注定会再加入新角色，只是编剧能不能写一个好一点的欢乐剧本呢？
比第一部好看 Tails太可爱了 一个彩蛋丨@ Pathé De Kuip, 30 Mar 2022

无聊的时候可以打发时间，像是按照公式计算数学题一样，把所有优秀电影应该有的桥段都安在了这部电影里——除了电影才华。整个剧本实在太低幼，让我有种索尼克被暴殄天物的感觉。
可圈可点，没那么尬，算不错了，来看达叔的，想他老人家了。
沒留意選成了粵語版，而且才知道粵語版無字幕，完全是120分鐘粵語聽力測試。。以及滿院的小朋友。。為反派摔跤、主角烏龍爆笑！爆笑！！片尾曲竟然還有小朋友站起來跳舞。。如果我年輕二三十歲，應該也很enjoy吧
没想到这破玩意还能出2
西伯利亚尬舞那段有必要吗？FBI脑子里都是夏威夷的海水吗？好的这是低龄向的动画，那你水了2个小时也有点太考验孩子耐心了吧。
躲避敌人为啥还要开车？？？

特效升级了，比较搞笑，闪电侠vs逆闪电，再vs万磁王，最后超级索尼克vs反浩克机甲
紫霞是美女，加一星。
就像首部曲一样，结尾cast背景动画是最最情怀的部分。这只蓝色小刺猬真是世嘉游戏永恒的经典之一。最后超一索尼克大战反浩克战甲的蛋头博士，已经分不清谁致敬谁了。金·凯瑞的表演依旧卖力、夸张，他演的大反派同样充满个人风格。只是听说私下里，这位喜剧之王也有抑郁倾向。所以看着他的戏也很心疼。

蛋头博士真的是时代的巅峰，都已经在想着统治多元宇宙了。
