Dr. Syn: The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh

Well, we can all stop cheering, and anyone who didn't get "Dr. Syn: The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh" in the nearly full month it sat on shelves will just have to go back to wringing their hands. Disney in their infinite and spasmodic commercial wisdom has pulled the plug on this highly anticipated and much discussed release. Now making it officially "out-of-print."
This is a laboriously baffling turn. I saw Dr. Syn advertised upon release and thought excitedly that I had my mother's Christmas all sewn up. But, like an idiot, I assumed a big ticket holiday release would at least last for the holiday shopping season before receding into that miserly Disney oblivion where so many of our favorites have languished over the years. As a result of my waiting nearly a month I had to shell out twice the msrp to make sure my mom gets a copy, and some are going on ebay for twice that!
So thanks Disney for the impressive Christmas tease. Oh, and while I'm at it, Thanks for Beverly Hills Chihuahua...you deranged psychos.

Watched the original airings as a kid. Been waiting years for this to
be released. Well worth the wait... Don from California.

I remember watching this on Sunday night on "Wonderful World of Disney" when I was only 5 years old. I was mesmerized by it then and find that it is still just as impressive. This movie is timeless. Dr. Syn riding through the countryside on horseback with his black cape and sinister-sounding laugh can still trigger chill bumps. With all of today's new technology to enhance action movies, this movie has the ability to amaze the viewer although it was made back in the 60's. An added bonus is the fact that the story is able enthrall without being offensive.

Great Disney Classic which is based on a true story! Filmed well and solid acting. Possibly not for everyone (idea that a man of God would steal from this rich).

Disney went all out for this film, and frankly, it deserved it. All of us Scarecrow fans have been waiting years to see this, and it does not disappoint. It has everything; the original, the shortened version, Dolby sound, mono sound, and last but not least, Walt Disney. The shortened version is really not worth watching after seeing the original though. I am puzzled why it is discontinued already, just a few weeks after being released. I am just happy to have it! Thank you Disney.
