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.

IMAX北美首映, NYC观众看演员本人我们看直播感受到了差别待遇。剧情不重要，看看可爱动物嗑嗑GGAD就可以了，开场五分钟就有高能台词，CP粉各种福利。很多中国元素，主角小动物的名字我听到后半段才知道他们在念“麒麟”；大战地点是高仿布达拉宫。前半段其实非常精彩，后面剧情有点拖沓有点垮。小雀斑可爱依旧但我眼里只有他哥Theseus！！比我预期的好一些，有动物看我就不挑！
4.8 多花500坐了vip看，心疼死。屎裡找糖，麥花好嗑，但GG這個角色寫得好沒意思
看完才发现，果然是一部爱情片，还是虐恋，从开头的喝咖啡互诉心里话回忆当初的誓言，到如今有一方的背叛，再到最后相爱相杀互摸胸口，虐的人都要哭出来了。拔叔这次戏份不少，是最大的亮点。期待下一部拍快点。8/10
邓布利多的秘密也没拍出来花，倒是他弟弟的秘密
7.5分的作品。
虽然剧情确实老娘舅了，但是开往霍格沃兹的火车穿过山原，我还是狠狠地沉浸了，并祈祷这个系列可以继续下去。毕竟成人的世界那么难，谁不想有个奇妙的魔法世界聊以安慰呢。
格林德沃换成麦叔来演，狂气少了，有点斯文败类负心汉的感觉。GGAD是真的，但在影片里还不如在同人太太笔下那么真，又尬又生硬。期待见到更多新生物的观众终于想起这个系列名叫“神奇动物在哪里？”没错纽特的神奇箱子被封印了大半集。血盟像一个草率设定，出现和结束都匆忙，就像这部里邓布利多小分队队员们没有头绪又毫无必要的行动（开预视和反预视没能很直观体现全凭口述）。一些设定似乎被吃，比如邓布利多竟然知道且会使用有求必应屋。打斗除了一如既往的电焊对决站左边稳输外，多了写轮眼博弈，在异次元你来我往毁天灭地半晌，现实里两人可能就对视刹那而已。新人物Eulalie Hicks还行，用书来作为她的代表符号，书页翻飞、搭桥的场景还保留了魔法最初的迷人气质。所以，这部还只是大战的序幕？作为铺垫，感觉并没有那么吸引人。
看下来神奇动物三部，明显不如哈利波特系列，虽然对魔法元素依然有浓厚兴趣，但剧情确实有点白开水，格林德沃结尾的画面剪辑得有些生硬不连贯，感觉怪怪的。
魔改之后，敢情神奇动物系列的各种灾难都跟老邓家颇有渊源，没有邓布利多家族就没有这么多破事，这种结果难道是原著的意思吗？所有角色都被天选纯良的设定变成了弱智，靠老粉的GGAD情结和演员演技苦苦支撑。视效一如既往拙劣。影院看完之后丝毫不想推荐，回家反复复习HP系列，我是说我把1–7来回拉了两遍，David Yates，但凡是他执导，都是魔改，从此拉黑。
人物故事线搞得乱七八糟的一脸懵比茫然没太看懂！大概是中老年基佬爱情故事吧！可是我不想看两个中老年人麦麸，牙酸磕不动……这系列真成神奇动物在哪里了？🤧
底下吃瓜群众一开始喊格林德沃喊得震天响，怎么麒麟一跪就全部转头支持另一个了，你们不是真正的追随者；
烂的哟，剧情拖沓，冗长，偶有一些幽默但少的可怜。我看的实在是很想三倍速。真的，哈利波特好看的也就是第一部和第三部让人印象深刻。这个神奇动物系列，我是抱着看特效的心态看看，没想到这部连特效都这么少……哎。
第一部还有将蛇鸟抓进茶壶里这样的精彩镜头，第二部结尾的音画效果整体提了一口气，到第三部还剩下什么…
罗琳是怕观众不知道fb2的锅是她的所以3写的更过分了吧。所有的角色目标是打败格林德沃，然后按照邓布利多的计划去进行。可是看了二幕整个过程所有主角都不知道自己的目标是什么，甚至回到了起点。这导致观感及其混乱。fb2好歹所有线都有明确过程和目标。当然fb3也有出彩的地方，艺指不错，新神兽也很可爱，ggad的两场戏也尚可。
这到底是在干嘛，满头问号。GGAD也嗑不起来，但光明顶对战老麦的一眼深情有被打动到，我勉强可以当拔杯代餐。
魔法世界让麒麟选领袖，和导航靠扔鞋没啥区别。鞋也有两只。
女助理下车说的那句话，按理说我就应该猜到了她才是心地最善良的人…但是邓布利多在分配箱子的时候，我真的真的以为开面包店的麻瓜才是最善良的！因为它跟麒麟玩的最好…然后所有人都失败了，这个女助理怎么就这么突兀的走进了所有人的视线里呢？？没有任何交代只因导演需要！话说在德国囚牢里的那段真的是笑死了哈哈哈哈 2022.4.11 与董伟 在西铁营万达
……………….我后排的同人女都疯了……………谁还会爱你…………..傻掉，我们整个厅居然全是同人女( ´ ii ｀ )时不时后面就传来此起彼伏的奸笑，我这种老人家前面都困到掺了好几轮瞌睡。嘛，如果是犬狼在屏幕里摸胸胸我也会起立喷鼻血的。但其实剧情真的很、、水到不行，最让我嫌弃的点是竞选放的那个烟花图案淅淅沥沥的( ̀⌄ ́)遥想魁地奇世界杯那人山人海的架势，啊！该死的疫情！然后，还是多打一星给世界第一黄昏恋。血盟也没了老邓头一个人坐在外面别人结婚，心疼到（拍肩）蒂娜真的好美啊！！！所以说还是超级不满这个剧情都等了那么久结果又苦又闷，居然还丧心病狂到创造不出神奇动物了给我们这淘了两头麒麟当GGAD公开恋情辅助道具你们魔法世界怕是闲出屁了吧赶紧再造一个反派出来搞事情啊喂！！！
剧情真的令我摸不到头脑，剧情里“没计划”是一回事，拍出来的效果稀碎却是另一回事
整个剧情十分拉跨和莫名其妙，不知道罗琳原剧本是啥样的，拍成这个样子已经和电影的主题偏离太远，纯粹的为了故事或者奇观而去瞎扯。华纳的急功近利真是对故事最大的折损，说实话麦叔版的格林德沃远不如德普版的邪魅和更贴近原著形象，很多无聊的戏份看的人打瞌睡，默默然成了配角，莫名其妙弄个麒麟选帝的戏码，真的都很莫名其妙。只有最后邓布利多雪中的身影和婚礼热闹的对比让我还有些熟悉的魔法世界情感。我们乐意重回魔法世界的原因是故事和爱，不是奇观和插科打诨。
