The Scarecrow!!! December 2, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
FINALLY! After years of waiting, I have Dr. Syn, The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh on DVD! What an awesome job Disney did too! On Disc One, you get the Wonderful World of Color (Disney) versions and on Disc Two you get the movie version! If you don't have this one what are you waiting for? This are numbered limited editions and will never be available again!
The writing is awesome, so is the acting. I remember watching this as a kid and I was blown away by the story. I was very impressed with Sean Scully's performance as the son of the local noble who was also one of the Scarecrow's henchmen. I remember thinking I would never be as cool in those situations. They would hang me for sure.
I was 8 years old again. I've watched it 3 times (twice for me and once with the kids). I can't get tired of it.
Hey, Disney! Do the same for Guy Williams & Sean Scully's version of The Prince & The Pauper sometime before I die, will ya?

As a person who first watched this when it came out, I have been waiting years for the release on DVD. I also bought 5 copies (it makes a great present). It is still a great story for the whole family.
 Still available.... December 1, 2008

Suddenly, thanks to this fabulous Disney release, I'm a boy again back in the early 60s. It looks, sounds, and IS great. Thanks Disney! Thanks!
Boo Who the Manufacturer! November 26, 2008

Thirteen days after the long awaited release of this DVD the manufacturer pulled the plug on its supply. The note on the description says, "his item has been discontinued by the manufacturer!" Talk about a real "Limited Series!" Anyone who was alive to see the original airing of the Micky Mouse Club will pass on that one in favor of the Scarecrow of Romney Marsh. I hope Patrick McGoohan got a copy for himself. No after Thanksgiving holiday gift giving of this DVD. If you did not purchase it in the first 13 days, then you may be out of luck.
This DVD is going to end up like the DVD version of Peter Pan with Mary Martin, Cyril Ritchard, Maureen Bailey, and Margaio Gillmore which at times has sold for 300 plus dollars new and used. A lot of these so-called new DVDs are actually DVD-R. I think pulling Dr. Syn: The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh is just going to promote bootleg DVD-R copies being sold in the internet. Another sad case of the manufacturer who could care less than the real fans of the movie and the Disney series.
I have not seen a DVD release and short run on the market like this one. I am wondering if they sold enough to make production value, or was it basically done as a right-off, and a public service. It it was done as a public service, then I would think they would have produced enough to have it being sold for sometime so new people learn about the Scarecrow of Romney Marsh.
I guess this means there may be hope for a two week release of FOOL'S PARADE, FLIM-FLAM MAN, and LEADBELLY movie DVDs.
