i'm not really a fan of cartoon musicals and when i do watch cartoons, i restrict myself to action or adventure, but, WOW! i watched the scarecrow on cartoonnetwork and i was singing and raving about it all week! heck, i saw it last week and i'm STILL raving about it! my best friend has already told me to shut up about 50 times already. all i can say is, i am SO buying this movie when i get the money! take my advice, its a great family film.

The Scarecrow, though very cheesy at times, is one of the best animated movies. My favorite part, would have to be the reoccuring DANCE theme throughout the movie. The best part has to be the dance sequence featuring the scarecrow at the beginning of the movie.

This movie can be enjoyed by people of all ages, though you might not think so at first glance. I am a teenager, and I love it for the absurd story line, if not the cheese factor, as do my friends, and some are older than me.

How can you not love a movie where one of the main characters utters the cheesy yet hilarious line:
"Sorry I'm late again, there's just so darn much to do in this neat world!"

Based on a short story about Feathertop, by Nathaniel Hawthorne, shows a straw man dreaming to be a real human in order to help his love-interest, Polly, to get back her 52 coins. If you can get past the modernized adaptation of the dance moves, then it will be the perfect movie for those that love animated movies. Though we can predict what happens, the film has great twists. (Maybe 5% on the cheesy side.) Perhaps the main message blinds the dreamer about putting love above everything else will reward you with a happy ending, and that is the only flaw the film has. A final note: the scary parts are not too scary, so this is a great movie for family with young children. Oh! One more tid-bit! Great music for musical shows fanatics!

The six-year-old I was baby sitting loved this movie. By the end, I too, was hoping everything would turn out OK! It's defiantly geared toward young children, but it makes a good family movie. When a scarecrow falls in love with a serving girl, Polly, he decides to do everything in his power to help her escape the clutches of the evil Count Grisham. I enjoyed it, although characters (living in the colonies) make some references to modern day, such as 'cool,' and 'jiving hip-hop trash.' The kids probably won't mind though.

This film is an absoloubtely amazing cartoon film. Let me start by saying that I am suprised this is not a film created by the great of cartoon films, Walt Disney.

It has everything a childrens' cartoon should have, magical situations, evil figures, a beautiful maiden. It has some great musical numbers, as well as the smoothness in the characters' movement is very well done.

The only bad part is that not enough format's have been brought into production, due to the fact I wish to own this, although I live in england, and the only format it is in is NTSE VHS. So the only thing I have to add is that if it was brought onto DVD format I would buy it in a snap.

A modern day classic. I always loved musicials and this film has some great numbers in it with a heart touching love story that people of all ages will adore.

I saw this movie 8 years ago and absolutely fell in love with it!^^ I was up and singing and danceing before I even knew it. It's a wonderful love story that will touch your heart and soul! It also has a strog morale everyone can learn.
