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.

新酱一年一度拯救日本 今日の春日部も平和だなぁ
当 肥嘟嘟左卫门 说“看到了吗，这就是我们几个的力量”的时候，
毕加索绘画到晚年，画作由高走低，逐渐走向朴素，简单的画，这被称为抽象画，但我想，这只是回归童年了吧。
肥嘟嘟左卫门：就算是救人的英雄一天也只工作三个小时哦。我又看哭了😭
“那些孩子们是谁？”
还行吧。这部没啥特别戳我的。唯独看到肥嘟嘟左卫门比较让我开心
当然我觉得最好笑的还是肥嘟嘟左卫门第二次出现的场景哈哈哈哈
假如像小新大方地撩妹，女友一定一大堆🤪
其实生活很多的灵感源泉都是随手一画想出来的，蜡笔小新的布里夫、肥嘟嘟左卫门，甚至是娜娜子姐姐，都是他随手创造出来的，但是却有血有肉，有着真情实感。
第一次这么喜欢胖嘟嘟左卫门，真正当了一次正义的朋友。
华丽。最感动的是小新画出来的那个，沉默的只会默默守护小新的大胸丰腴女子，地母的感觉。
小新："再也不想和任何人分别"
暂时没看过前几部，还是很喜欢这一部的漫画idea的，最后小新的神奇蜡笔用完了，在用推车画🐷勇士的时候嘴里念叨的那份执念，执念里带着小新版BGM是感动我的
ps：这也许会是我看的最后一部蜡笔小新的电影，至少近几年不会再看了。
近几年最喜欢的一部剧场版，希望在我五六十岁的时候，也依然能看到小新不理不理的那一天，也希望那时的自己仍保持着孩童时对动漫的喜爱。
我左右上下仔细看了，写着几个大字：我真的老了，电波都对不上了（和哆啦A梦一样的剧情，套到了小新身上总觉得像跑错片场——）
啊谁能想到我居然为一条内裤哭了呢？没想到小新的剧场版这么好看。
我居然被一条内裤感动了，还有屁屁锤真是笑死我了；虽然是动画片，但是充满了讽刺，希望人生充满童真和勇敢。
再次被一部儿童向动画剧场的深度深深折服。绝对称得上蜡笔小新剧场最佳。看得哭了笑，笑了哭。全片给我的感觉是“真实”而字。由于某些原因，英雄瞬间论为罪人而引发的言论暴力，键盘侠肆意挥霍恶意，围观群众事不关己高高挂起，现实世界中我们见了太多。人物的刻画也没有非黑即白，大反派只不过一心想要救自己的国家和人民，肥嘟嘟也经常由于贪婪而犯错误。影片最后引申出，不论是使用高科技平板，还是半截旧旧的蜡笔，媒介不重要，最重要的是自由自在创作的童心，这才是让人性闪光的特质啊。想说的还有太多太多，用片中小新的一句话结个尾：“真是的，大人啊，都没点大人的样子。”
为我们带来了快三十年快乐的蜡笔小新，每年都会在春日部为我们带来新的感动。这是个很残酷现实的世界，因为有小新的存在，才可以让我们在这世界中得以保持那么一丝童真。
