Subject: "Dr. Syn: Scarecrow of Romney Marsh"
Written By: woops on 11/18/08 at 11:06 pm
Have anybody seen the series, which was part of Disney Wonderful World of Color, in the 1960's?
I'm suprised that there's many reviews on Amazon while Donald Duck & Annette currently have less than ten and both are more well known by most people. Even an animation fanatic at the Gold Age of Cartoons board stated that he/she have never heard of the "Scarecrow".
Does anybody here have any recollection about it? :)

Yes, I saw it's original broadcast, and all the re-runs. There had been a couple of previous theatrical versions of the story. One from 1937 with George Arliss, which I have never seen, and one from 1962 with Peter Cushing, which I have seen, but I prefer this version of the story.
There was also a comic version of the story published in the children's magazine "Disney Adventures," but since that magazine has ceased publication, I don't know what has happened to the comic version.

No local store had it instock.I had to order it online.
Within a couple of weeks.....It was discontinued !!!!!!
