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.

电影结束后的字幕显现出来时，才发现电影结束的很利落。后面仔细想想其实并不是这样，导演对于这件事的看法是在电影接近尾声时，由会议记录员党卫军军官讲述运用毒气杀人的细节时将参加会议的每一个人都有一个特写镜头。
一场会议决定了1100万犹太人的命运。种族清理和血统清洗真的是荒谬。
似乎有更好的视角和路径。这部只做到了忠实、准确和严谨的会议纪要。
美伢担心小新，娜娜子和不理不理左卫门。
这部在蜡笔小新的剧场版里基本可以排到前三了吧 除了前面有点水 但是后面很棒有两个印象深刻的点 一个是涂鸦娜娜子和左卫门遇水化掉的时候 一个是一群被救的键盘侠 明明自己无能 却对着一个一直在救人的小孩子狂喷的时候 人性的善良与残酷呈现出的对比 这部真的很棒了
希望我们永远内心里都有一个长不大的五岁的野原新之助
但跟犹太人大屠杀相比却又有差别
这几年里比较好的了，新的制作团队让这部质量回到了十几年前的感觉，希望明年制作团队回归质量不要直转急下
泪点满满，背景和人物都比较空，但是真的好催泪。
小时候爸妈总不让看蜡笔小新 觉得这卡通三俗又色情会教坏小朋友。等自己长大了有一定的认知能力了 我想告诉他们 其实蜡笔小新一直在用一种非常规的方式来教会我们成长教会我们勇敢也教会我们乐观面对人生。就像这里面大义凛然救人的左卫门，还有不怕你们笑话，那条内裤我也觉得分外动人。蜡笔小新剧场版二十多年来从不下7分 我想 就是有一群和我一样对这场卡通的热忱以及像我一样理解它的积极意义的人儿吧。
看看现在的世界，犹太人这么招人恨不是没理由的。中国人华人被屠杀的次数多了，这个世界上又有多少白皮黑皮在意，甚至自己人都不关心。
组织者的很多套路值得学习。
没有配乐，几乎没有场景转换，跟一群人在一场电影里开一场100分钟信息密度极大的会，却丝毫不觉得冗长乏味……回望历史，我们总是清醒的，但，身在当下，我们却经常把疯狂当做理智……
// 高密度的对话、没有跌宕起伏的情节，会导致这部剧观众群体进一步减少。纯正单方面的决断，只为寻找高效的处理工具。

有着童话的美好 和现实的残酷
音乐倒是听出了一股吉卜力味，可惜同结构的剧场版已经出现太多次了。依靠某种元素存活的王国，为了保卫王国进入歪路的反派，小新再在公主的帮助下感化众人。既然都涂鸦了画面着实应该再大胆点。
这是一群披着人皮的禽兽，西装革履、满脸正义同时又张着血盆大口正在舔舐双手上的鲜血，讨论如何符合法律、道德、信仰，系统化、高效化、程序化的实施那该死的种族灭绝政策。由此可见，纳粹分子干着最肮脏的交易还要为它盖上一层遮羞布，德三的法律、道德、信仰才是整个人类社会的退步！
看了太多二战电影，一直不理解希特勒为什么那么恨犹太人
