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.

几个人平安夜一起看的，不断地在猜测为什么女主没有技能点，一男曰：莫非她的技能点就是帮别人实现技能？一女对曰：难道她就是蜡烛本体！一众人捧乎。预言那段纷纷猜测拥抱的那个人是年轻的奶奶，众人再捧乎。直直看到最后才发现这是迪士尼的童话，不是成年人的幻想世界，唯一相似的就这其中的（并不是奶奶带来的）艰辛和不如意吧。
我觉得还可以吧，虽然剧本不是很好，但是当舞台剧看还行，画面绚丽，歌舞好看，人物虽然脸谱化但是故事想传递的家庭的关系还是正能量的，值得和小孩子一起看一下
电影开头对亲孙女米拉贝有偏见，甚至说出“你能帮的最大的忙就是站在一边”这种伤人的话。
有魔法的人物设置得超好笑哈哈哈哈！但确实房子塌得太突然，解决得也太简单了。主要来学学“动画感”！
最近迪士尼的电影已经中规中矩到连个反派都不做了。一个带有一些特殊的能力的家族，从吵架到和好的故事，跟《勇敢传说》的套路挺像。选择吃饭的时候无聊的时候看真是对的选择。
和米宝宝一起去电影院看的第一部电影2022.1.16 米宝是真的看进去了 电影情节还可以 期待下一步更震撼的电影 希望米宝和妈妈一样爱上电影
大体设定却感觉有点像《百年孤独》童话版——马孔多小镇的人人事事围绕着布恩迪亚家族的大房子展开——几年前出设定集的时候就觉得好像…
自己是奇迹这个点被演绎得有点无聊，音乐也没有太多记忆点，同样南美风的coco珠玉在前，这一部的存在就显得有些尴尬了。
2022年，第94届奥斯卡最佳动画长片！画面再美，没有好故事支撑也没用。这种水平的动画引进也没多大意义。
在澳门看了粤语场【我觉得我粤语听力家可以90-95分了】
米拉贝是一个魔法家族里唯一不会魔法的普通人，可当危险来临时，她竟意外成为拯救家族唯一的希望。
1）中规中矩的合家欢电影；2）适合小朋友，挺有教育意义～
大概就是说“爱是魔法”这么一个简单的道理，但我实在无法对这种家庭剧产生实感，单单觉得“为了这个家”这种话确实蛮扯蛋。结局打开一扇门的想法还蛮感人，但是为什么又要让魔法恢复了呢？爱的表现可以有很多种，能力（天赋）既然不是必须的，就不如让它们消弭在风中吧。生活感可能才是家最重要的宝藏啊。
后来的洗白又太生硬了，突然就变得和蔼可亲了，突然就和米拉贝和解了。
完美和天赋不是奇迹 爱和家人才是 音乐不错
偶然听到对美国电影的老派欧式看法。即这个语速，这不留余地的情节炸弹，极速的画面，对小孩来说不太友好。跟碟中谍、漫威都是一派思路，跟美国子公司交流财务报告也是一同风格。很有意思的看法。欧洲作品的确慢很多，更注意留白，且“强烈致力于吸引观众”的趋势没有那么明显。慕尼黑Lichtspiele，德配。换成德语语速同样不可救药。（连广告）近两个小时略有太长，揣着白巧克力点心勉强撑到剧终。曾夜夜联映Rocky Horror Show的小剧场，幕布两边还有未撤的鬼头装饰。看完转角吃了顿披萨。色彩好，全女性力量，男子边角。可能整篇看下来最入戏的只有我。
好看又好笑的合家欢，冲着LMM的音乐去的，但看完超出预期，有快乐的暖意。光看情节有点薄弱，但这是歌舞片啊！按音乐剧逻辑就是每个人唱一首歌就会解开心结呀😂 非常喜欢这片里的南美元素，那些鲜艳的洋房、缀满花纹的裙子、无穷无尽的鲜花与植物、随时随地都可热舞，不同的肤色背后是沉重的历史，但如今已经弥合为一家。舅舅的通灵术有南美巫术的痕迹，人数众多的大家族同居也是典型的南美式家庭。女性议题润物细无声，女主不自信不漂亮也可以拯救家族，大姐是壮如牛的大力士但并不突兀，完美小公主二姐内心深藏叛逆。女性群像撑起全片，却又有各自的软肋。LMM依然发挥出色，女主在狂欢时刻静止时间的那首想起了汉密尔顿，完美姐的独白歌是跟着抖腿的好听，祖父母的毛毛虫之歌直接听到流泪。舅舅那个虚弱的嗓音我还以为是LMM亲自唱的哈哈哈
三星半🌟看的粤语版 Bruno是好听的！剧情还行吧
含歌量太高了故事出奇地简单，看完如释重负，好家伙，终于完了。奥斯卡不如把奖给《雄狮少年》（rh就是你对，喷就是你对）
观感上舒适，但基本上套路都玩烂了。又是用爱呼唤奇迹的戏码。唱唱跳跳地危机就解决了。不过歌舞声画都很好。
