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.

两个孩子看得开心极了！最后那段阿奇救莱德情节很感动，7岁的女儿都流泪了。“英雄也会害怕，但依然会勇往直前”，克服内心的恐惧，战胜自己。电影全程都很吸引人，连我一个大人也跟着孩子看得津津有味
陪儿子看的，他看得聚精会神，眼睛一眨不眨，看完就去玩汪汪队的玩具车，说明他应该很喜欢。这就够了
故事和创意乏善可陈，只剩怀旧和场面升级，翻来覆去几条龙，喜新厌旧了就玩基因改造，和主题公园运营套路一毛一样，导演“自嘲”起来也是不留余力。
哇，好多恐龙啊。特效制作应该也是内卷得不行，或者是技术进步后成本下降了，电影里到处都是恐龙，不知道有多少个特效镜头。但是恐龙只是工具龙，剧情推进跟它们没关系，这次威胁到世界的是有恐龙基因的大蝗虫。本该是主角的恐龙呢，反而成了被好人帮助、被坏人利用的群众演员。电影的主题是人与恐龙的和谐相处，所以没有坏蛋恐龙也没啥，但也不能全靠巧合推进剧情吧，这种巧合太多了。不过现在国内的影迷也没太高要求了，在影院看好莱坞大片的机会太少了，将就吧。电影里有许多没见过的恐龙，都是真实存在过的吗？
中间又燃又催泪。
跟动画片版演员形象不太一样，说话也不太一样。差评。
带孩子看不错，音乐上乘，画风质感运镜挺好～
哈哈其实我觉得还蛮有意思的，从车子变成潜艇后精彩起来了！无法拒绝一些狗狗，但毕竟年纪在这里了。很适合小朋友去看，三星+音乐一星
陪小侄子看的，他好像挺开心，就是纠结了一下配音跟他平时看的动画片不一样。我看得快睡着了。
比第一部好看太多，情节流畅有趣，很多转场有着主流好莱坞电影的架势，动画的细节也更生动，非常期待下一部了。
7分，轻松娱乐电影，跟汪汪队相比，新蝙蝠侠的装备属实是不够看了
因为电影院只有我跟孩子两个人，四岁半的儿子看的一直在欢呼，剧情很不错。值得一看。
一家四口去汽车电影院看的，体验还挺好，比电影院自在。三喵看得十分认真。
三个平均年龄23.5岁的人包场看的，“那就看汪汪队谁都不要怂！🐒”
汪汪队队员人数+1 把所有品种狗狗都划拉齐的节奏 but 为啥没有三傻。。。
//补一下半个月前的影评
我弟看的很开心。而我在听中文翻译，“美的不要不要的烟花”，这就是目前的动画电影翻译吗？
本是想来看看🦕，结果只看到《小鬼当家》《007》《鸟群》《丛林历险》的大锅炖，人物各种耍帅扮酷谈恋爱，爱情亲情友情样样不缺，唯独没有了系列最初的核心:🦕，短短的几个镜头太过敷衍，毫无诚意。浪费了在影院的两个多小时。
#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。
乐之在电影院看的第一部电影！非常好，虽然一直说不敢看，但还是口嫌身直连字幕也不放过。有深意有搞笑，出来一直说喜欢阿奇，真勇敢。
