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.

替我女儿打个五星。话说回来针对低龄小朋友的动画片，大人看能不觉得降智，已经很不错了。
2202年，狗狗才可以拯救人类，救援场面，有点像看狗狗版的007。孩子看得哈哈大笑和鼻涕眼泪都流出来了。
陪5岁孩子看的，小孩子可能不能完全理解很多情感内涵，但是我愿意陪他重新长大一遍，站在大人的角度很幼稚，我们看过太多的电影。但是站在小孩子的角度，很棒的1个半小时。
看电影时候小朋友就说阿奇好可怜，他觉得很难过。看完电影抱着我哭的很是伤心。问他为什么哭。他说不知道，就是难过。以为孩子只是看个热闹，才发现他们的共情能力一点也不能小觑。
现在汪汪队剧场版有着像柯南剧场版看齐的趋势，剧情不重要，画面才是重头。环保，爱狗，有点像爱宠大机密的感觉了…救援主题果然适合小孩子
居然还挺好看的？？儿子看到阿奇脱队关到训狗所的时候居然流眼泪了……真是一个感情细腻丰富的男孩子
看的中文版。然后作用就是促进舅侄间的感情。
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
比上一部好看。画面更精美。故事本身没那么傻。低幼龄推荐 。7分。
作为一部面向的是低幼儿童向的电影很可以了，节奏紧凑比较抓人，陪孩子去的，很对剧情我都会wow的感觉！大场面，新人物，底层的成功，主人公的成长竟然都有！有点儿童版速度与激情的意思了！
汪汪队装备集体更新，队员又多了个贝贝，真不错。
全家欢，小朋友都喜欢勇敢狗狗，虽然我们家的已经十岁了。
一部剧情完整、制作精良、充满政治隐喻的开年大作。
我们的周边卖的很不错，赚的钱可以在世贸中心买大楼。
资本主义儿童动保特工队割韭菜保护韭菜，实话实说真的非常好看
我竟然看的津津有味，比成年动画幼稚，但装备组合很合理。
就 给孩子看的哈哈哈哈 很可爱 除了可爱没啥了
暑假和孩子一起去电影院看的，小孩看了不想走，大人觉得可以二刷。主题曲好听！
画面好精致，战车很帅，特别是那个水炮特效好有感觉
