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.

看两分钟马上关了，这种东西瞬间把人的智力降低
不让迪士尼电影上映，也不会阻挡我看的途径，不会阻挡我接触世界的脚步，不会阻止我的一切。
搞不懂情绪跟天气挂钩算哪门子天赋？一半时间在唱歌，关键还不好听，除了插曲/片尾曲(Dos Oruguitas/Two Oruguitas)外其他歌都很一般。
迪士尼老老实实做动画不好吗？不得不承认美术真的很牛，人物衣服上的刺绣也太好看了，但故事比较简单乏味。特别喜欢弟弟觉醒天赋，在雨林里那幕。
当国内还因为所谓的形象“乳滑”吵得不可开交，国外已经在展示种族侵略、关怀被伤害族群的心灵重建。迪士尼就是，你明明知道都是工业化套路，但就是美到你目瞪口呆、戳得你泪流满面，最后一边摇头一边鼓掌掏钱的一种存在。这次仍然是亲情，子女总是希望被家里人看到、让家人为自己感到自豪，而人们总是对家人最刻薄、最严厉。修复家庭关系，你将得到美妙的幸福魔力。
【B-】技术方面没的说，迪士尼天下第一。第一幕的角色和矛盾的设置很棒，但从第二幕开始揭露所谓的危机到底是什么时才感觉这个对角色的危机对于故事来说真的是毫无危机感，而主角所做的化解危机的努力也自然让人提不起兴趣。更何况前面那么激烈的矛盾冲突最后却一如既往的用美式那种爱能解决一切的普世价值观解决问题真的是很无聊，完全无视了主角在这么多年成长经历中遭遇的所有压力和悲伤，强行让主角去原谅然后happy ending真的是让人极其不适，所以第三幕非常反感。
都说不好看，结果我哭了好几次，但这个体验太个人了。最让我伤感了一段是，她舅舅说，我知道我很没用，但我爱这个家。最后她姥姥曾经一人拖家带口经历苦难这段突然让我释然了，所以这是属于没有当过母亲永远无法体会的理解。
我觉得还行。有《身在高地》和《百年孤独》的影子，伊沙贝拉像美人儿梅梅。
但是这层糖衣下的苍白，还是增添了许多无力。
苏莫对《魔法满屋》的观感并不差，简单易懂的主线故事、合家欢的题材，以及林聚聚创作的原声音乐，都是观影的乐趣所在。
剧情不够唱歌凑，吵架把家人撕裂，拥抱再重建家园。鸡汤满满，馊气呛鼻。迪士尼只剩下画面了。5
有人说这是迪士尼最差的动画，我却觉得这还是正常水平的迪士尼动画，至少比《1/2魔法》要好，虽然电影有一个半小时，可是我却意犹未尽，我总觉得电影有很多东西没有交代清楚，比如魔法的来源，我知道只要接受这个设定就好，看的时候我总是期待祖父能有点什么奇迹出现，另外这又是一个关于谎言构建的虚伪的美好家族，打破隔阂最好的方式就是面对他，说真话天塌不下来，还有这个故事的设定，有点百年孤独的感觉，这个马德里，我差点听成马孔多！两位姐妹对那位男子爱，也像阿玛兰妲和丽贝卡！这故事总的来说差点意思，如果人物再少点，戏份再打磨一下，或许还会更好
为什么现在的动画片，动不动就得唱歌，救命🆘 好好想点有新意的故事吧，不是欢乐糖水管够就行！
广影 又是family，有趣加治愈，就是最后转折有点……
迪士尼还是拍公主吧 这种歌曲高分 画面不错的动画 不适合来个不在审美上的普通女孩 玩具都卖不动。
有隐喻，可以看哥伦比亚的族长制，也可以延伸到南美洲现代国家的历程，但电影选择不展开讲，因为毕竟是迪士尼。剧情很单薄，结局很拧巴，竟然不是一家人都失去了魔力…贾家沐皇恩延世泽
这一部的音乐真的不口水 记不住但是很耐听 词也很用心 从迪士尼开始关系更多元的族群开始 这应该是最多元的一次听觉体验了 唱法 曲风 口音 都有巧思 片子好看 但是故事一般 不过事实如此 哪里有一直有效的魔法 都喜欢抓马的故事带来的矛盾和冲突 其实就是解铃人系铃人罢了 好像第一次迪士尼讲了一个给成年人的童话 依然是就算童话世界根本没有童话 幸福生活不是唾手可得 简单的恩赐和天赋更需要磨砺和爱护 虽然是个烂尾楼 但是感谢迪士尼 把不存在的童话世界粉妆的这么美妙 又温暖又快乐 2022的第一部片子 很是开了个好头
我愿意为了《We don't talk about Bruno》那段的音乐和运镜场景表现多给一星。

就是这部被很多人称为迪士尼最差的动画片，竟还获得了金球奖最佳动画电影，我对这个结果是大受震撼的。
