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.

长得丑的小绿被戳死，长得可爱的小红得救哈哈哈哈哈
红色巨兽...那是中国嘛？海洋霸权国家，请不要伤害红色巨兽啦... 相安无事的，不好嘛？
小孩看 好教条 大人看 太低幼。海兽造型也是一般 小朋友看个玩
剧情设计合理紧凑，聚焦主线，放弃支线。看情况可以出续集，继续交代前代人物历史和后续剧情，基本就是套路满满。无任何深度，几乎不加入任何思考和情感发展，阅后即焚...
剧情也就那样吧，知道后面会发生什么，槽点也有吧，但是瑕不掩瑜，好在节奏控制得不错，有让人想接下去看得欲望。
主角海兽除了颜色，造型上太软糯了，果真还是给小娃看的啊
小黑拯救小白小黄小红和小蓝 Yaaaahhhhh
年岁长了，心的距离仍旧停在过去。主角油腻过也青涩过，那些青涩的日子是他最难以忘怀的。表面上只是主角一个人没有长大，但实际上很多人都是这样，慢慢成长慢慢失去的那些日子里我们越发变得冷漠和疏离的面对这个世界和自己。p s: 本片的胶片剧照也太好看了吧！！！
中规中矩的流水线产物，制作一般，保证了没掉链子，各个环节也都比较均衡，卖卖萌的同时也不忘添加一点政治隐喻的部分，但整个剧作收尾部分还是处理得简单了。
小黑拯救小白小黄小红和小蓝 Yaaaahhhhh
结尾升华的点得很不错，讽刺了贵族上等阶层为了自己的利益，制造谎言，让海怪和底层猎人自相残杀了数个世纪的卑劣的从中渔利行径。
很用心的童话故事，水的效果做的很足，海底对视的画面太能触发巨物恐惧症了。译名有误导，不过当小女孩在船上现身时，就知道是欢乐大结局啦。
动画片中长的丑萌的怪兽肯定是好怪兽，故事剧情主题总觉得很像《驯龙高手》，顺着这个思路第二部接着抄就行了
海洋版女生版驯龙高手，故事虽然无甚新意，但完成度很高，动作场景还是非常精彩。世界很大，我们知道的太少，英雄有可能犯错，有一些这样浅显的思考，但结局最终还是流于口号式的处理圆满团圆。对比驯龙，人与海兽之间的和解互动少了很多，世界观也未能进一步打开，相对更低幼些。
叙事的确很像驯龙高手，海怪的形象真的超级像里面的龙。
不知道中文名为什么叫《海怪猎人》，明明就是海怪。 很感人，中间我一直怕有什么反转，现在看动画片都要小心，很怕结局不好。因为现实太残酷了，没有人在乎什么对错、真相。一切只是运气。
我四岁的儿子看了一个英文版的，他竟然看懂了剧情。
最后半小时竟然就这么仓促结束了，这么浅显只能回味儿童电影了。感觉很多细节交代的不清不楚，小红感觉是在海兽中也很有地位的，一开始还阻止那个大螃蟹吃男女主，为啥它是一个这么有觉悟的海兽？反正螃蟹不管在哪都是反派就对了。还有王室的谎言竟然就这么轻易被揭穿了吗，猎人对此也有怀疑只是一直没付诸行动？女大副为啥回心转意要帮女主了？看得乱七八糟的只有小红的人设最合格也最可爱。
在别人家用大~电视看的，画质真好啊~~ 除了这个，一切都中规中矩。
不知道应该说他是低配版还是高配版的《驯龙高手》
