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

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!

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.

Disney does this right. Long live the Scarecrow!
Added 10/2/2009

It's been a long wait. The picture and sound are great. Thoroughly enjoyed this. Yes, I am one of those who sat with my family and watched this on the Wonderful World of Disney. What a thrill it was back then and even today. Love the theme song. I've read the books by Russell Thorndike about Dr. Syn. I would love to see what they could do today with this character. Now if Disney would release Song of the South and stop sweatin over it. I mean Gone with the Wind is out there?? Anyway, Thanks to the people at Disney for doing a great job and releasing the Scarecrow to roam free again!!

Horrible DVD release
Added 10/1/2009

I am so furious that I was never notified by e-mail that this was released on DVD. Its amazing that there are billions of people in the world and some genius decided to produce only 35,000 copies of this show on DVD. I hope all you greedy jerks that scalped ten of these at a time get stuck with every single copy you bought. It's unfortunate that disney released such a low ammount on dvd and that there are pricks out there that take advantage of these situations. It's to bad you can't give negative stars in the feedback because I would give this product a -5. I don't care how amazing the show is and looks on DVD, the limited release is what puts this product in the negatives for me. Even if I had obtained a copy of this I would still have rated it this way.
