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.

女主真的很像一位越南裔油管博主，结尾妈妈说“你走得越远，我就越骄傲”恐怕是永远不能relate
需要承认开头会不适，但越来越明确，真实而又有意思
居然熬夜看完！！！！真的巨巨巨巨好看。对妈妈和女儿来说都算成长片！明天白天会跟两个女儿二刷。她们俩现在在呼呼大睡。
皮克斯还是那么有深度，把中国式教育下的孩子刻画的太鲜活了…成长中每个人都曾叛逆过，但大部分人都封印了真实的自我，磨平棱角随波逐流是这里绝大多数人的真实写照。人云亦云的环境中我们也有特立独行的权利，脱下面具，勇敢地做回自己吧！
PS：浙江专升本时间由原定的3月26日，推迟到5月14日，所以我的观看这部电影的时间也提前了。日期反复无常，这已经是第二次对22年浙江的专升本时间做出调整了，太考心态了。
皮克斯还是有优良传统，简单道理讲得细微又动人，极易共情。
故事虽然没啥新意～剧情老套一点～但是还是可看的～红熊猫挺可爱的～
最开始那个家庭关系我就崩溃了！虽然我知道最后一定会反转，但是仍然太不适了…
妈妈曾经也是个穿着JK制服的少女，她的熊猫最大只，可能因为压抑得最厉害
一部显然是关于中国女性为家庭牺牲自我个性和欲望的故事。
Turning Red并没有像皮克斯近年两部电影一样，有着过于影响整体剧情的缺陷或者是看起来不够完整，影片里的配角虽然还有很多内容可以讲，但都点到为止。
在文化和传统的祠堂重压之下，如何变得步态轻盈？石之予的答案是：绕过父亲的阐释，与祖先直接对话。
要叛变皮克斯了，或者已经没有童心，讲的都能明白，但就没太大情感触动，可能跟一直都是放养模式、依赖性人格也有关。
巩俐演出《夺冠》有什么值得吹的呢，技术而已。俺妈汤普森大姐惊天一脱，表率了女演员在性别与性议题上的探索与表达可以走得多么深远广阔。
最后半小时太精彩了！从被中断的仪式开始哭，到竹林里牵起妈妈的手那里，妈妈从少女走向成年，没有一句台词但情绪饱满得要从画面里溢出来，我直接嚎啕大哭完全停不下来。不要推开那些混乱，留出一个空间与它们共存，别太苛责自己，真希望那些年能有人对我说这些话。
众所周知，四大天王有五个人；mei爹炒菜那场戏的材质和光线，绝了！
看的时候心中一阵惊恐，那个妈妈跟我妈一样一样的，太可怕了，被支配了一辈子……
很遗憾我没能达到你的期待，但对此我并不抱歉，因为我才是自己生活的主角。没有人生来完美无瑕，正是那一块不完美的碎片构成了每个人真实而独一无二的生活。和那只毛茸可爱的红熊猫一起生活下去吧，只要身边有爱，未来就有光明。
有趣的地方蛮有趣的，对于小女生心思的揣度，还有七大姑八大姨一起变身那里。恐怖的地方也真的非常恐怖，前半个小时给我吓出眼泪两回。而结局，结局实在是太轻率了，也或许正是因为我们都知道这样畸形的亲子关系根本没有办法得到真正的解决，因此才能用这样打马虎眼的方式糊弄过去。这样的HAPPY EVER AFTER，和现实中将终生纠缠不休的症结形成的巨大裂缝，是全片最让人想要大哭的地方。
接受自己的身体，解放自己的欲望，东亚“家庭”的压抑和压抑不住的青春期骚动。但母亲的转变太快了，简直猝不及防——前期铺了那么多令女儿社死的行为，其驱动必然来自根深蒂固的观念，她甚至化为更巨大更不可抗拒的力量来压制、来惩罚，然而 一记头锤就改变了她，让她放了手，沉甸甸的隐喻变成了轻飘飘的童话故事。不过还是多打一星，没办法，实在太毛茸茸了，你想想，连姨姨们都那么茸…………
