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.

喜羊羊，童年的回忆啊
这是一个多么热爱篮球与电影的制作人啊？从90年代的晃过上帝，到“我的责任”，再到“你来之前我们就是冠军了”。铁血艾弗森迷。他最大的成功就是让这片子完完整整得讲好了一个篮球和打篮球的人的故事。至于喜羊羊，那不重要。
挺燃挺能俘获篮球迷的喜欢。规则就讲的清晰，比赛还挺精彩。有点像之前俄罗斯篮球电影。对喜羊羊与灰太狼竟然是一伙的很好奇。还加了一些亲情关系友谊。大人看的话也可以。今年春节动画片整体不错。
风格作画值得称赞，作画过渡实属上乘
节奏很好啊，台词也不错，居然看的很激动 没想到啊
说实话真的是惊喜更多一点，虽然故事还是比较薄弱，很多地方过度不太自然，但是算上情怀加持分，我还是推荐这部动画电影的。
虎翼好帅啊，喜宝也好帅，懒宝好可爱，每个人都有高光时刻，每个人都是主角
虽然情节比较老套，但胜在真诚，情怀依旧。我不了解篮球，但是确实看得很燃。喜羊羊：我们认识多久了？灰太狼：五千多集了。泪目的是我自己。答应我，以后每年春节我都要在电影院看到你。
体育竞技这个方向没问题啊。狼羊转型做运动我也觉得很🉑。致敬五千多集的狼羊友谊!
低了，应该上7，先看剧再看电影才能了解的更全面～
被科普了一些篮球知识，被安利了篮球比赛，人物形象很可爱，讨娃喜欢，语言表达生动有趣，让娃哈哈大笑，一出电影院就说还想再看电影。
多安扎古的表现让我想起某个精神感应扎古
前面有点无聊，后面开始打球紧张起来，总体偏低幼，如果不懂篮球基本规则和术语，可能会有影响。怀念12年前看虎虎生威时全场欢唱《大家一起喜洋洋》的热烈氛围。
“五千多集了吧”
这美颜开过头了吧 熟悉的套路 不觉得有突破
七年诶，从小学到了高中
我们认识五千多集了
还记得十二年前第一次在电影院看《虎虎生威》时候，我才上小学，虽然已记不清了什么，但它带给我的感动至今也难以忘怀。十二年过去了，如今我已快大学毕业，喜羊羊大电影也停摆数年，儿时想要看完十二生肖愿望的落空也难免有些遗憾，时至今日能看到喜羊羊重回大荧幕，心中难免也五味杂陈。许多人说喜羊羊变了，确实，画风低幼，剧情简单，但作为一部面向儿童的动画作品，它已经做的很好了。在童话世界中加上现实的元素，还是能让那些陪孩子看电影的家长有些许感触的。说回电影本身，如果你是从小看到大的话，那本片形象的改变确实还是有些难以接受的，毕竟那么经典的形象变成如今这样，还是让人有些唏嘘。影片前半部分还是有点散，剧情套路，但最后的篮球赛还是看的人热血沸腾，明知道结果会是怎样，但还是会让人热血沸腾。最纯粹的东西往往最打动人心。
机设方面，商业嘛，可以理解的
希望喜羊羊能继续拍下去。
