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.

看两分钟马上关了，这种东西瞬间把人的智力降低
这部片子最大的两个亮点就是女主是魔法家族中为一个没魔法的，以及歌吧。我觉得这部片子的歌好现代哦，跟以前的迪士尼歌曲曲风不太一样。但是故事有点牵强诶。因为拿了金球奖才看的，个人觉得这个片子赶不上逃亡。
视效可以拿奖 剧情太低幼了 音乐也衔接的好生硬甚至有尬唱的感觉 结果片尾一看音乐总监是LMM ？好吧只能说叙事拉垮连带着音乐都变难听了 结尾如果大家恢复成普通人也能相亲相爱就好了 否则还是太俗套了迪士尼让我好失望 别忘了你也曾经是出过寻梦环游记冰雪奇缘疯狂动物城这种剧本的
真的不错，故事整体起承转合。不过我本来以为房子倒塌后他们鼓起勇气回到外界生活，没想到还是只在世外桃源重塑了房子。算是个我满意又不太满意的结局吧
你们家复兴的关键是你姥肯向你这么个小孩低头。画风和音乐都很好，喜欢。
22年的迪斯尼动画，就这么无声无息的来了，受到疫情的影响，这种年货般的期待竟然都容易被人给忽略。这次的作品还是和当年的《Coco》一样，放在了一个拉丁地区，相似的风格一度让我以为还是在墨西哥，很难想象哥伦比亚山区和墨西哥怎么有这么多接近的地方，可能真的就是素材复用吧。而故事就是一家都会魔法，偏偏女主角不会魔法，而家里也有因为预言逃跑的叔叔，这熟悉的剧情一眼就确定了故事大概的方向。当然最后也不出意外的，故事通过一阵冒险，女主解除了全家可能失去魔法的危机。但其实这个故事有个很奇怪的地方，如果一直强调天赋，最后女主拯救家族时候为什么不干脆去除天赋，全家变得普通但幸福不是更能说服人吗？最后还维持着那些离谱的天赋，虽然还是家族爱，但这种固执反倒给了孩子不好的宣扬。 20220303
还以为最后结局是所有人都失去了超能力，然后变成普通人去生活
影片讲了个过于简单和老套的故事，无论是“用爱克服一切”，还是“每个人都很特别”的主题，就算放在迪士尼动画电影的坐标系里都算陈旧了。
之前看《沉睡魔咒2》，我就吐槽迪斯尼的真人奇幻片跟清宫戏没区别，只能看个服化道。今天又看了这部，还想吐槽迪斯尼的公主动画片跟春晚小品也没啥区别，反正都是样板戏。
音乐和画面还是值得的，女主和舅舅也很可爱，问题还是太浅了。叙事而言，你不可以又要挖掘深层的情感，又要一挥手一切立刻都没事。很多重要的角色并没有得到应有的刻画，表姐表哥不谈了，二姐还好一点（surface pressure太好听了！！），大姐其实根本就在走流程。明明设定和故事核心是好的，不过大概觉得伤痛和隔阂不是一瞬间解决的话就不够合家欢吧。
虽然剧情和人物塑造确实都比较模板化，但看迪士尼的动画时总会惊叹于其将某些栩栩如生的效果如此轻描淡写地制作出来的那种轻松写意，比如主角的裙子，简直是经费杀手。
百丽宫陆家嘴中心，3.3分。开场后的故事特别吸引我：前殖民地政治家族、欧洲想象和南美自主、个人与家庭、甚至还有一点点性别流动的元素。结果最后糊回了家庭和解和接纳自己后，竟然还重新获得了“魔力”（满头问号）。虽然还挺好听好看的，但是元素乱炖的开始，到如此保守套路的结尾，中间的确只能是一个迪士尼自动化创作的流程吧……
一天的心情都因为这部电影变好了。
如此平庸的合家欢剧本我只能过度解读为主创在用心良苦的影射大哥伦比亚共和国的解体，与千日战争导致哥巴分裂而对当下中美地区产生的深厚民族政治影响

在澳门看了粤语场【我觉得我粤语听力家可以90-95分了】
尽管如此，影片的主题依旧值得称赞。就像《蜘蛛侠》所表达的，每一个平凡的人都可以成为英雄，《魔法满屋》也告诉我们什么是真正的奇迹，真正的魔法。
比较工整的家庭主题片，加入了一点点白人入侵的历史背景。
这绝对是迪士尼本部最近几年最让人失望的作品，故事的设定明明是非常有意思的，音乐也让人满意，但剧本从中段开始逐渐跑偏，槽点过多，连一个看的过去的故事都没有讲清楚，一切的一切看起来都非常莫名其妙。本来以为豆瓣6.5分有点过于严格，看完感觉还真的就值这个分数。希望这是迪士尼本部最低水平，下一部真的要加油了，不要再拿出这种糊弄人的剧本。这部要是能拿今年奥斯卡动画那今年的水准真的低的离谱。
让人难以置信《魔法满屋》居然是一部迪士尼出品的动画电影，在这部动画长片里除了迪士尼。如既往的唯美画风，以及对哥伦比亚的风土人情的体现，电影的内在几乎一无是处，苍白空洞的人物，敷衍了事的情感，都令这个故事失去了迪士尼以往天马行空的奇想，变得无趣而又冗长。
