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.

【2022年第6部電影】刻意的表達總很難引起共鳴。
我想了想，还是只能给三星，这不是贬低。它的武打可以给四星，文戏要抠一星，所以只能给三星。你不得不佩服的是，它100分钟长，打了至少80分钟，这80分钟还没什么重复的，这确实很厉害。——有时候就是这样旱的旱死涝的涝死，强烈建议把动作设计送给雪中剧组，救一救那个尬。
非常精彩的打斗戏，剧情很简单也很纯粹，可能这就是最传统的武侠片吧，可惜动画有点掉帧吧，部分不太流畅，人物画的也有点粗糙。因为想要太平，而杀掉所有江湖人士，这一刀切的逻辑真的只有反派才有吧……
华语小年，只要品相不错就已经很好了。情感充盈，可惜剧本有很多可以挖掘的地方非要停留在家庭感情与母女关系上
很酷的武侠故事，临清也有自己的一方江湖，或者说有人的地方，就有江湖。大量的打斗戏，占据了三分之二的篇幅，非常过瘾，而且当中还有枪、戟等传统兵器，就是熟悉的武侠味。当然，我觉得《枕刀歌之尘世行》最值得称道的一点是没有把正反两派做简单的对立，而是去刻画不同人物的不同立场。他们或许有各自的使命，这是他们拔刀相向的原因，可仔细去想也没有明确的谁对谁错。这种引发思考的设计很有情怀。武侠从来都不是一个人的武侠，而是一群人的武侠，所以，我们看的是群像戏，江湖纷扰，快意恩仇。
人物角色都很饱满，配角一个个也都很有特色，动用了大量的武打戏份还有定格招式，能看出制作方对打戏也有深入研究过。
life，the fucking life...
很真实也很真诚，感觉导演心思很细腻很敏感，出来一看果然是女性导演。观影过程中小哭了几次。
第一次聽到這部片是浩爾提起，導演阮鳳儀是他多年的好友，據說片中有不少是導演自己真實的經歷。細膩而真實，用怒罵來表達愛，用對抗來尋找存在，是多少人心中之遺憾的起點。
優缺點都很明顯，動作設計很棒，力量感十足。全片的立意也很不錯，是超凡脫俗的，就是文戲的部分台詞和配音感覺不太對，雖然配音感覺也邀請了實力很強的人了已經。另外就是國產動畫的某種通病，動作非常機械、僵硬……
要是能改掉打架时瞎逼逼的坏毛病，评分会更高。这片子真的偏科的让人心疼，还好电影从来不讲究木桶效应，将动作设计做到极致，照样有人买单。
完美诠释了什么叫暴力美学，武打设计比第一季更精彩更过瘾，记忆中有几场打戏尤其出彩，一场是罗通杀六须鲶为漕帮兄弟报仇，还有一场是罗通在破庙中捶死丐帮长老的戏，那种脊背发凉的畅快感实在是太爽了。剧中的武打动作设计和武器也符合人物角色的塑造，不过为什么豆瓣评分反而走低了呢。至于罗通后来娶妻生子，并没有和红娘在一起，个人认为还是比较可惜的。复仇之路上何方知找上门，红娘自焚之前告知罗通的下落，以这种方式来让罗通纪念自己，实在令人唏嘘不已。
剧情直男，画风直男，大概这好评都来自于武打场面的动画制作，鉴于此我给第三颗星。对于从小拿武侠小说当精神鸦片的80后来说，这剧情我看了都快翻白眼了，救命啊，难看啊，武侠死就死了呗，好好搞耽美拉到了。
枕刀歌尘世行做的很纯粹，很中国风的武侠故事，招招见真章，看得出制作组是做了很多准备的，武打的招式做的很写实，人物建模也有江湖儿女的粗犷气质，算是近几年比较特别的国漫作品，整部电影100分钟，篇幅和故事节奏都掌控的很不错，期待以后能在大银幕看到，品质再打磨一下完全不输院线电影的，虽然看下来故事线是比较单薄，但是团队还是放了很多巧思进去的，比如西门仁这个角色，就是很值得探讨的，值得一看。
生活无望的窒息感和彼此相爱的最后底线 论作品完成度和立意明显更加完整更加具有可探讨性 导演真的很厉害 处女座就能有这样的敏感度和成熟性
像是一架手术台上的显微镜专注在一个家庭为单位的内部深探，纠缠的关系和依附其中的细腻纹理被查看得一览无遗，以至于外部的视角逐渐失焦但却获得了另一种角度的真实景深。
要是能改掉打架时瞎逼逼的坏毛病，评分会更高。这片子真的偏科的让人心疼，还好电影从来不讲究木桶效应，将动作设计做到极致，照样有人买单。
结尾仓促， 高潮后的转变略显突兀，可能预示着那个魂牵梦绕的美国梦突然一夜之间碎了…
只有华人才会为了孩子的幸福牺牲一家人的团聚，结果培养出只顾自己的孩子，从而产生各种家庭矛盾。应该学学西方人把父母关系放在家庭关系的第一位。
