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.

致敬我的童年🫡 开头的中文歌好听 其他的一般般 不是太搞笑 但是针灸的片段还是挺好笑的(发现小黄人的语言大量的base在西语和意大利语上
还可以吧，不难看有一些主人公的内心成长，小黄人戏份这次是真的多有相当一部分都没啥意义，全场看下来很多地方都承接了之前的剧情以至于连接了小黄人宇宙。而且这部片也太讨好中国观众了，超多中国元素，杨紫琼配音的武林高手，石头上加塑料眼珠子，瞬息全宇宙？？导演编剧你们是自己喜欢还是潜移默化的往里扔政治正确的东西啊？还有那个骑摩托车超好的黑叔叔戏份也太别扭了，硬抬升黑人形象 :) 总体来评价的话三波人的剧情都没啥吸引力而且各玩各的，自己耍自己的宝，最后的大战爆发有点差，打斗到结束也很平庸，生肖宝石就是成龙历险记抄的嘛。 再拍我也不知道他们还能编出啥来了。
有谁！能拒绝得了！这么可爱的！小黄人呢！呢！呢！我也好想养一群小黄人QAQ
全场的笑声和各种观众呼声整齐的像在录情景喜剧 这就是英国的观影氛围么！
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈最近看得最开心的电影！！！就是有点难听懂罢了
好无聊。唯一的亮点就是十二生肖吧，那个鸡的俯身最搞笑，还生了个小鸡
和老弟在电影院看的第一部电影，虽然中间老弟因为时差睡着了。中国元素好评！Chinese New Year好评！
怎么这么可爱😭😭😭😭😭😭
Last but not the least
一眨眼小黄人也拍了十几年了。去电影院看着小黄人彻底放空自己笑两个小时，似乎慢慢成了一种习惯。
Find your tribe and never ever let them go.

6/10. Just for fun. For Y70 too.

中国元素满满，小黄人又一次靠睁眼卖萌打败坏人的可爱作品
7.0/10 短小但不精悍的一部作品。片子充斥了对中国人乃至亚洲人的刻板印象，只能说还是想圈中国市场的钱，但是这波国内没上映让他们圈不到了。看看上次看小黄人好像已经是在2015年了，时间过得还挺快。87分钟的片长实在是有点儿短，剧情安排的很夸张很仓促，适合小朋友们去看，成年人带脑子看可能不会觉得很有趣，但谁还不是个小朋友呢～
可能比较期待吧，有点拼凑老套了，中国风融入不少，那个石头等很多元素太像《瞬息全宇宙》和《青春变形计》，甚至《功夫熊猫》的影子，小黄人还是萌萌哒…
2022-7-7 avec Andy 很爆米花 笑就完事了 很多小点第一遍get到了很开心 第二遍应该还会发现更多彩蛋
哇，opening weekend全球票房2亿+美刀😍比上一部好看太多，没想到预热那么凶猛居然还捂了那么多大招，惊喜连连。片头曲太好听了🤣🤣🤣杨紫琼配音的角色goat！哈哈哈哈哈哈哈～本片动作戏满分，就是不知道会不会闪瞎小朋友们的眼🤣（不知道为什么会有人第一时间写影评剧透……）
小黄人超级可爱，四分都给小黄人，剧情基本都是意料之中的，但是小黄人真的太可爱，特别是凯文和鲍勃。开飞机那段真的好可爱，哈哈哈，凯文好厉害，看一下说明书就能开飞机了。宣传团队的重要性。但有些灰色内容，比如主人公想当一名坏事做尽的恶棍王，自尊心超级强，不要小看小孩子干坏事的能力等等这些在动画里可能大部分的人都只是一笑而过，但是，我担心有爱模仿的小朋友或钻牛角尖的成年人去“学习”。
