Product description

The Scarecrow

Amazon.com

It has syrupy ballads! It has inanimate objects that come to life! It has a villain who falls to his death! The noble Polly is basically an indentured servant to the evil Grisham, working off her orphan debt, but managing to save a little money and bury it next to a scarecrow. When the scarecrow comes to life and is given the form of a man as long as he wears a feather in his cap, he strives to rescue her from the lascivious clutches of Grisham and also to help her free the three young orphans she plans to raise. Aided by an enchanted broomstick, a mouthy mouse, and some nifty dancing, he accomplishes his goals. Set in Puritan times, this 77-minute movie manages to cram in an awful lot of anachronisms: Dancers steal John Travolta's moves from both Saturday Night Fever and Pulp Fiction, and one character calls another "jiving hip-hop trash." But the bottom line is that none of this will bother young children who will enjoy the action and the pranks, and will be exposed to the movie's clear moral lines. (Hurting others: bad. Helping others: good.) (Ages 3 and older) --Kimberly Heinrichs

this movie, although it induces childhood memories that I thought were fever dreams, actually really funny if you don't take it seriously

The video showed up in good condition and even though it took forever I'm glad I got it. It's a shame it's not available in dvd all though it is old I guess. Happy with it :-)

Simply put- Not worth the time.

Kids will find this movie either boring or scary. Adults will find this film boring and hetero-normative (but it is based on a story published in 1852, to be fair, so that's nothing unexpected), and they'll also find that the animation is lackluster and that the lip-sync is off timing with the characters' dialogue. This isn't a theatrical feature, so don't go into it expecting one. Nevertheless, there is much better straight-to-video entertainment out there.

The only thing this film has going for it is Corey Feldman's voice acting! He plays the mouse-sidekick, Max. Max has a few good lines in the film, actually. He's really the one thing that kept me watching. (Well, besides being curious about this movie for the 20-some years since it's initial release).

Have to give the film points for not employing any CGI work-- and also for adapting a story that hadn't been done a hundred times already-- c. 2000.
