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.

陪小妞看的第二部，还是全神贯注格外开心，也和小妞讨论（吐槽）其中的剧情问题，更是有趣加开脑洞。
啊，陪女儿看的，老父亲觉得装备有点帅啊…莱德这不竞选市长？？
贝贝这个角色设计的不错，出身低微却热情自信，不卑不亢。不过莱德给了她（？）装备后，贝贝反而没啥好的发挥了。
和其他成人动画没法比，但这就是给儿童看的，整体剧情就是好莱坞经典结构，主角童年有阴影，团队精神，最后为了友情打破心理枷锁。作为儿童电影是非常合格的。
跟玹寶一起看，海丁那從高塔下來那段挺搞笑的
寒假的最后一天休假带儿子到影院去看的。这次是一个完整的故事，比去年要好看
陪娃追了3年多的动画片，原以为是惯性圈钱的大电影，没想到出乎意料的好看！Good mood和Paw Patrol on a roll经典音乐起来的时候，和娃忍不住一起抖椅子，哈哈哈[破涕为笑]还有太多成人世界的小讽刺，新春全家乐系列，惊喜推荐！
看特效还不错。感叹一下幸好恐龙灭绝了 不然再黑市过得真惨。。。
非常适合陪孩子看，这部系列动画大概会成为我孩子童年美好的回忆之一吧
本来想带丫头看，我坐旁边玩手机。没想到，出乎意料地好看。
6.5/10。非常适合儿童观看的电影，小狗都好萌。看到一只只狗狗驾驶着酷炫战车在轨道上飞驰，我心里在想：这个玩具会大卖吧哈哈哈好世俗的人。唯一的弧光是警察小狗，但挫折太直白，解决太直白了。猫又一次成为反派，我们猫猫什么时候能站起来！
大年二十七，陪儿子在电影院看的第一部动画大电影，我睡着了，可是儿子看的很精神，光看海报他就能说出全部狗狗都名字，莱得队长、阿奇、小丽、灰灰、毛毛等等，我们润盛影院包场。
非常适合陪孩子看，这部系列动画大概会成为我孩子童年美好的回忆之一吧
低幼的情节很适合孩子，但是这个类似特朗普的市长的种种理念明显在吐槽美国政治。这俩加一起有点不伦不类。无趣
和队友一起带娃去看 队友说这几个狗比复仇者联盟还厉害
成年人看也意外的很有意思，如果翻译上能稍微遵从一下TV版会更好，那一句句的“ahhhchi”真叫的让人出戏。
阿奇棒棒哒。
三岁女儿人生中第一部在电影院看的电影必须五星好评
#汪汪队立大功大电影#第一部带儿子在电影院看的电影。就冲这一点，这部电影对于我就有特殊的记忆。狗狗们上了大荧幕，到了大城市，迎接更大的危机和更复杂的挑战，内心戏的添加和前传的引入无疑也为整个故事增加更多的层次和内涵。勇敢与协作，帮助与宽容，汪汪队系列确实是正能量十足的好动漫。
比剧版的精致多了，但是狗名太美式，还是叫中文好点。下次出新的，就可以带儿子去电影院一起看了。
