Plot: This Disney drama, originally broadcast as a three-part TV episode, tells the story of a vicar's double life. Outwardly, he is the model of upstanding citizenship and loyalty to an oppressive British government. But he is also a notorious smuggler who uses his ill-gotten gains to benefit his impoverished village. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Well - It's About Time!!!!!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I have been checking periodically with amazon.com for the past four years on the off chance this movie might one day show up - AND SO IT FINALLY HAS!!!! Saw this once as a young child on Disney's weekly hour long show, back when they made and aired decent family shows on television every week, and I have never forgotten it. I've watched amazon.com come out with Three Lives Of Thomasina, Jungle Book, Toby Tyler, and Hans Brinker! Now if they will just go after "Almost Angels", "Big Red". and "Uncle Remos' Song of the South", I can die happy!!!!

A Must-Have Walt Disney classic
Added 9/22/2008

This was my favorite Disney movie when I was a child. The emphasis in the movie was that the people of Romney Marsh were good people, who smuggled products into England so that they would have enough income to survive. Misty moors at night, spooky costumes, fast horses, intrigue and daring escapes made it an annual Halloween favorite at our house. It was one of the longer length motion pictures that Disney had produced at the time, and would be well worth buying. Please re-release it in Blue Ray!

The Scarecrow is tentatively scheduled for release on Nov. 11th
Added 8/17/2008

One of the crown jewels of Disney's movies that has been up until now unreleased on DVD. The good news is that it will be part of the upcoming Disney Treasures release. You might want to pre-order your copy now like I did. Also on tap for that date will be The Chronological Donald Vol. 4. I have that one on order too. Good stuff!!

Scarecrow just recently came to mind again. I can still see the ghostly skeletal horses they rode! I used to have nightmares! lol Cannot wait till this comes out on DVD. I loved the movie and the series, what little of it I can remember.

Disney, be our hero!
Added 7/18/2008

I don't know what's keeping Disney from putting "The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh" on DVD. I LOVED that movie. I'd be so excited when it would re-run on the Wonderful World of Disney! I even have the song in my brain."Scarecrow, Scarecrow, the soldiers of the king fear his name...but the countryfolk all love him just the same!" Man, that was one exciting show for me as a kid. How dare they tease us by dangling it out there for awhile and pulling it out from underneath us! Please, Disney, release it and release it great, with interviews(even old ones)and lots of extras.

Dr. Syn review
Added 11/24/2009

This is no doubt the best movie. It brings back so much for me. I really enjoyed it in my childhood and have looked for it for many years thinking it would not be put out. It is just like I remembered and just as good today as then. I would recomend it to anyone that likes a good story with good stars and drama.

Disney is at fault
Added 11/18/2009

Don't Fault Amazon. Fault Disney. They only released copies to those who belonged to their club and some retailers. These areas got them, and are the ones selling them at the nutty prices you are seeing on Amazon.
Now here's another kick--You can get Dr. Syn, but it will cost you $500 and it will be included in a Christmas release (if you belong to the Disney club)with a lot of other titles that only had a small number of copies released.
I have seen the release pictured here at a friend's house. And it is very good. Personally, I can do without all the extra stuff in the tin and just have the orginial mini-series/movie.
At this time, other than the special, Disney is not releasing this again.

Dr. Syn: The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh
Added 11/12/2009

I bought this item last November when it came out for $24.99. You are now trying to sale the same DVD for over $100. This is ridiculous. I would like to have another copy for my sister but not until you bring the price back down where is belongs. Shame on you.
