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.

太套路了，标准的机器人伙伴，一个完全不懂的菜鸟团队，光年太傲气了，自己违反规则抢飞机开，故事讲得跟流水线一样，看了一半，剩下的之后再看吧：看完了，一塌糊涂，唯一的长处是Chris的声音很好听
剧情比较差，画面还可以。花了很多时间花费了很多资源做了很多无用功，最后回到原点。最后只有巴斯光年自己不亏，因为只有她依然年轻。
没想到「玩总」的番外作品会如此平庸，而且安迪看完这部片后真的会喜欢巴斯光年么？叫我看，我会喜欢那只修狗sox，这真的是全片唯一的亮点。故事情节有些老套路，而且节奏也比较拖沓，提不起兴趣来。作为皮克斯出品的动画片，还是最经典系列的番外作来说，真的是失手了，再好好打磨一下故事剧情本身倒也不至于这么无聊。最后只想说，不明白为啥又不能过审？！lgbt元素在这里也只是一带而过，一个根本不会被注意到的kiss也能作为毙掉的原因，对ju真的是非常无语了！
好怪啊重点是les吗？重点是虎头蛇尾吧！设定搞得花里胡哨的，最后就这？也没看出他对小队有什么感情突然就变成不能失去他们？皮克斯你没事吧？最好看就片头那一行字幕，我现在觉得andy就一小p孩 懂什么！ps那个猫super creepy
《光年正传》虽然补充了一下巴斯光年的由来，但只是停留在合家欢爆米花电影上，友情与合作这一核心不知被玩过多少遍了，留下的只是老套。
是不是可以理解为创作力枯竭创作匮乏。怎么能难看成这样子 皮克斯你疯了
看完之后，我都不知道巴斯叫啥，只记得胡迪。
meow meow meow meow机器猫太可爱了>^ω^<
中规中矩吧，知道是皮克斯出品后，更失望了。如果当时看得是这部电影，我肯定不会买Buzz Lightyear的玩具。全片最出彩的地方都在前面，开头的第一句话就直接把人拉到最初看玩具总动员。后面Buzz和女长官的这段蒙太奇也有了《up》的感觉，友情万岁。但到了后面节奏就感觉崩了，男女老少，高的矮的白的黑的再加上一直粗旷嗓音的猫，这支队伍就不太对劲。后面的反派果然是zurg，原以为是衔接第二部里父子线，没想到是穿越时间的自己，老套了点但也能接受。最后结局平平无奇，寡淡的收尾，我能理解7字头的评分了。
皮克斯已经不是当年的皮克斯了。皮克斯严重迪士尼化。没想到巴斯光年最后的对手是巴斯光年自己，说实话我不太能接受。感觉创作者对巴斯光年没有感情，对《玩具总动员》系列也没有仔细看过。但凡用点心都知道，无论如何，巴斯光年都不会黑化，哪怕他必须自己承担所有。这部普普通通的巴斯光年个人电影，在迪士尼传统动画片的架构下，虽不出彩，也不难看。最大的亮点是Sox，说明，哪怕在玩具的世界，也是玩具更可爱。
业界巅峰的渲染，东拼西凑的设计，糟糕透顶的剧情。
指挥官的人生故事只有几分钟，却是全片情感力量最充沛的片段。可惜这样值得回味的时刻太短，剧情套路化很好预测，很典的白男在伙伴的感化下变得不那么典，实在是不新鲜。
看见扎克那句的那句“爸爸”真的笑死😆Sox不出周边吗！！！？
事实证明repetitive的conflict可以让电影变得很无聊！！
不是特别理解为什么票房会不好，我觉得挺好的，蛮好看的一部太空冒险电影，不知道迪士尼会不会卖那个猫的玩具，哈哈，而且反派不是他爹啊，这咋回事，和玩具总动员怎么不一样……
不敢相信这是皮克斯作品，迪士尼哥霍霍老IP续作真的有一手，星战已死，漫威已死，皮克斯已死。还有黑白人种一比一加女同真的无比政治正确，现在不加这些就不会拍电影了是不是。
就是单从剧情来说这水准也跟一样是迪士尼的那些好看的动画片相形见绌啊
喵喵喵喵，四分。这片主要还是讲的如何正确认识自身的错误。很有教育意义的片子，很适合某些对错误很敏感的地区人员观看。
让人尴尬并昏昏欲睡的剧情，猫咪是唯一的亮点
Time dilation的概念延展到本片的编剧创作当中，故事的跳跃性加速了剧情发展，无法建立完善的世界观和厚实的人物关系，以至于可以走捷径随意地创作出一个毫无说服力可言的反派角色。同样对于文本内容毫推动力量的同性角色，与其说是Disney自诩倡导其包容多元化的理念，不如说是更加符合当下时代商业上的需求。
