    Animated film with a terrible message

    Did enjoy the animation and music of the film, only thing about this movie that bothers me is that Scarecrow not gets the girl, he does it by and getting away with lying. I mean Polly and orphans trusted him and the whole time, he's been lying them. It bothers because, this is one if the animated films that's designed to lecture kids the importance and differences between right and wrong, the type of life lessons that are not only considered useful in the real world, but keeps kids from growing up to be criminals. For example, Aladdin and Buster Moon dealt with the same situation, but they eventually had to endure the consequences of lying. They didn't even added a scene where the Scarecrow (Aka Feathertop) develops the balls to finally tell Polly the truth, but instead the kept Polly suckered in the Scarecrow's masquerade like the rest of Grisham Heights.

    DIRECT TO VIDEO-Someone should have released it to the theater.

    WOW!

    The Love Song from this show makes me cry! It is a wonderful story, and it is not SCARY as the title has Scarecrow in it. Yes it ends well, and it is a fantasy. The music is pretty good, the lines are okay, and the story is hopefull!

    Quick Review

    The Scarecrow's animation is uniquely bad. Every movement is out of synchronisation, the characters are bland caricatures and the script give them not mercy.

    A bit of a copycat of Beauty and the Beast in style and in plot, but - again - with no hero or any character at all making it worth watching it!

    Disappointing

    This film could have been a success. The scarecrow looking too human made the conclusion slightly ridiculous. He should have been more nightmarish. Also, two annoying sidekicks, bad animation, an annoying villain and (except one) awful songs made this a failure, at least to me. You'd be better off sticking with the new wave of Disney adaptions then this rubbish.

    So it has it's flaws...

    I actually like this film ,despite it's terrible half-assed looking animation and some of the music is so out of place it seems wrong, I loved Richard Rich's previous stuff as well Including The Swan Princess and his remake of The King and I. I can actually sit and watch this film over and over and not get bored. Some of the songs are horrible whilst the others grow on you and you find them forever stuck in your head, My favourites being "In Your arms" and "When she looks at me". I just hope there'll eventually be a DVD release because although I own it on VHS...it's starting to get worn out and I'll need to replace!

    Seriously folks,if you have kids don't neglect this movie...it has a nice story and unlike everything else that seems to be made at the moment, is done in traditional 2D animation, I suppose that's what made me like it so much...

    • Trivia
      Initially produced with a theatrical release in mind, the disappointing box office performance of Warner Bros. and Nest's previous co-production, The King and I (1999), convinced the studios to instead relegate the film to a direct-to-video release.
    • Goofs
      The movie is supposedly set in the Salem/first settler's era, yet it shows the characters performing dance moves, most that have not even existed yet.
    • Quotes

      Scarecrow: Don't flow to the music. Let the music flow to you.

    • Crazy credits
      During end credits the songs In Your Arms and Come One Come All performed by David Barnus can be heard in the credits.
