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.

第一次看minion系列 好看的片段全在trailor裡了 這麼多中國元素好勉強
真心儿童片，我这场感觉大多数是小学和初中生，最后还鼓掌喝彩。说来四个主要的小黄人还是没对上名字，只记得特征是高个，矮个，独眼和牙套。牙套这次最抢戏，黑哥哥机车男就是个大龙套，还以为他有点重要性。
毫无故事性..这个系列的重点从来不是小黄人 而是三个女孩 有了她们才有了温情与爱 有了身为人类的共情

果然预告片都是精华, 相较之前的系列故事有些过于简单了. 强行引入的中国功夫和十二生肖, 有点机械降神的意思了. Minions的设定其实从Despicable Me 1的短篇故事发展过来要更合理, 还有 minion orientation. 合家欢故事内核, 需要伙伴而不是独行侠. 几个反派刻画的也过于肤浅, 倒是那个疯狂修女印象稍微深刻一些.
靠卖萌过日子的作品，这一部还不错，一半明媚一半胡扯——七八十年代的美国嬉皮士风格是制作方面比较擅长的，所以用得纯熟和精准，但是唐人街的中国元素还是一股子舶来品的似是而非，制作方还是没有抓住中国文化的精髓，还是迎合美国观众的意淫在展示唐人街中国风，虽然算不上文化歧视和羞辱，但是中国观众看着肯定有不舒服的地方。
2022-07-19一般吧，不过片方费这么大劲最后没进华语市场这枪躺得也是可怜
感觉小黄人的搞笑套路和金靖贾玲类似，靠刻意扮丑装蠢，喜欢的人觉得好笑，不喜欢的人只觉得无聊吵闹，不同的是小黄人多了一些忠实陪伴的温暖。
插科打诨的讨好 带来强行搞笑的尴尬 以及狗尾续貂的遗憾

没看过预告直接去电影院看的，当在日本的电影院片头突然响起了中文歌声的时候，我还以为自己在做梦...无论如何小黄人真的太可爱了，无脑打分。
挖掘点别的元素也挺好的，即使是我们现在也不兴这个了
小格鲁好可爱hhh//前面是看之前写的//呜呜呜小黄人好可爱萌死了 这么多中国元素一定是在迎合中国市场吧 但不知道能不能上映//好多音乐元素 导演估计是乐迷吧 时代背景是70s美国吗 街上每个人穿的都跟搞摇滚的一样🤘🏻
融入12生肖和中国功夫+好多隐藏彩蛋+密集笑点
可爱！Chrissie 说她不喜欢中国元素搞得那么刻意，可是在中国明明没过审🤣
可爱就完事了！！！🥺🥺🥺谁还管剧情不剧情的啊
超级宣传中国文化的一部 电影里还说的是Chinese new year有心了 想养一群小黄人
太好看了，小黄人旧金山唐人街大战恶毒六怪！各种中国元素，片头曲还是中文。只可惜意识形态的原因，有些情节可能教坏小朋友，特别是小黄人冒充机长胡乱驾驶飞机，在国内刚刚出现航空事故的背景下是无法上映了。
超级宣传中国文化的一部 电影里还说的是Chinese new year有心了 想养一群小黄人
没想到中国元素这么多，中文片头曲听着想笑。🥺十二生肖的小黄人依旧可爱🥺开头结尾大家都在鼓掌
