Back in the early 00s, Cartoon Network became interested in showing animated movies; most of these are failed straight to video releases but how well are these films known? How well do you remember "The Scarecrow"

Released in 2000 by Richard Rich (no not that one) better known for the Disney films The Rescuers, Fox and the Hound & Disney Princess Clone The Swan Princess; but you'd probably want to forget his other works, The King & I animated movie & The Black Cauldron (Yeah he wrote that as well)
Anyway, the Scarecrow is another Disney knockoff about a Scarecrow who comes to life and disguises himself as a human to help a girl named Polly & a bunch of orphans get out of poverty which is being caused by a selfish count who steals taxes so he can learn how to dance and woo the prettiest girl in the village who happens to be Polly. The villain can be best described as Gaston's snobby older brother trying to essentially do the same thing he did, in fact the plot is very similar to Beauty & the Beast seeing that's the first Disney film you try and copy.
Anyway, the Scarecrow is helped out by a rat called Max voice by Corey Feldman who was the only celebrity available to do this and a witch who sounds like Tenchi Muyo's Princess Ayeka. The whole plot revolves around dancing, musical numbers, corny animated movie songs & typical Disney Happy Ending. In fact the music & dancing doesn't exactly match the scenery as it's set during the Pilgrim years and yet they dance like their from the 50s & 70s and the music features synthesizers & electric guitars.
There really isn't much to cover on this film, in fact Rotten Tomatoes doesn't even have a rating for it, even Freddie FRO7 is more well known than this.
The film is okay, not a master piece, hardly a ground breaker, not something I expect from Cartoon Network's attempt at showing animated films but between this and a few others I'll bring up later, it stands in a much better light.
