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.

高清无码噩梦，是能使《钛》也显得小清新的定格动画
很概念艺术性的动画，感觉是短片加长版，不适合搞这种长度，分段可能好些。
有点超前了，没有对白你都不知道在表达什么。一直解谜一样
机器造出来的可能称为人吗？如同蚁巢中蝼蚁，不知生死只知劳作，奶牛牧人，孩童呓语
在我眼里真的不能再垃圾了！
当然也可以简单的理解为
很庆幸我无法欣赏这个作品，证明我还是个市侩的凡人
那个色彩斑斓的地方精神污染魂都吓飞了，不能承受第二遍
通过一个看似混沌不清的故事，实则让多种理念相互缠绕，继而生发出更为宏大的主题。蒂贝特用自身极富特色的影像语言，试图去演绎哲学上的三大终极问题：是谁？来自哪里？要到哪里去？
太cult 太重口了，就像是一场噩梦的呈现，但实在是无聊，跳着看完。
但我不推荐观看这部电影，整部电影一个多小时，几乎没有配乐，剧情晦涩，古老的定格形式，无对白，一般人很难坚持看完更别说看懂。
欣赏不来这种电影，乱七八糟的，完全是浪费时间。
极度猎奇和重口，在怪诞的现实和迷幻的梦境中反复横跳，血肉朋克启示录，对观众太不友好，只能3分。。
真抽象，充满了各种宗教元素，话说国外真的喜欢化用圣经故事
震撼，太有想象力了，所有的恶心聚集在一起，竟然就构建起了人类社会和历史的真实写照，生命的价值也许就是一摊泥浆。值得有空的时候再刷的定格动画作品。
定格动画总能给人一种别样的质感，比如皮衣上的褶皱和使用痕迹都能清晰可见，有点布袋戏那种意思，但又规避了布袋戏那种笨拙感，看了一眼评论区，大家看出来的内容着实不少：各种朋克，后现代，反战这些，这是好现象，先不管说的对不对（有一些我是实在没看出来）说明大家都还读书，有求知的精神。这片儿邪是真的够邪了，要说和罗德里格斯那种邪典大师比，我觉得也是比不了的。不过这片儿分镜还是蛮厉害的，加一星吧。
一切都没有章法，一切都野性又诡异，用定格动画创造出一个重口又荒唐的世界，充分刺激了感观，不缺记忆点，但缺精彩度。
这得多变态的人才能拍出这玩意儿来。邪典中的邪典
连着看了两部德国新拍的关于二战前时期题材的影片，都是德国人对他们自己的那段历史的反思，也可称为德国的“伤痕文学与电影”，反思自己的历史，特别是那些错误、罪恶的历史，值得关注和肯定。本片是部传统风格的历史片，以希特勒和张伯伦等战前召开的“慕尼黑会议”、出卖捷克领土的真实历史事件为纲，虚构了两位首脑身边、参加会议的德、英两个年轻人的故事，戏剧性、可看性不错，制作也到位。网友们对该片的历史观和虚构情节有不少争论，评价不一。我缺少研究不去评论，只是觉得今天看它，还是很容易联想到当前美俄在乌克兰危机的外交政治斡旋、博弈，似乎历史永远是在重复，教训很难被吸取。对历史、政治有兴趣者可以看看。另一部电影《法比安》则是一部很个性化的文化艺术片，内容没这部丰富，技艺上不错。另谈。
p.s吃饭时看的，被自己离谱到...
