![]() The only thing he fears is the burning flame of hot fire! He never tires, and never needs to sleep or eat. Therefore Scarecrow can never get hurt, though he is awkward in his movements as he literally weighs less than five to ten pounds. The Scarecrow is a very clumsy and uncoordinated figure in his mannerisms because his body is stuffed with straw. The Scarecrow is a extremely gentle character, his disposition is so kind and considerate, obliging and honest that all who know him love him. ~ Passage from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900) "There is only one thing in the world I am afraid of." "What is that?" asked Dorothy "the Munchkin farmer who made you?" "No," answered the Scarecrow "it's a lighted match! " I'll tell you a secret," he continued, as he walked along. I shall not mind it, for I can't get tired. "Even if he did bite me, I wouldn't feel it. "He never bites, he just has never seen a straw man walk before." "Oh, I'm not afraid," replied the Scarecrow. "Don't mind Toto," said Dorothy to her new friend. He smelled around and sniffed the stuffed man as if he suspected there might be a nest of rats in the straw, and he often growled in an unfriendly way at the Scarecrow. Toto did not like this new addition to the party at first. "Dorothy helped the Scarecrow over the cornfield fence, and they started along the path of yellow brick for the Emerald City. Thus, concluding that there is "No Place Like Home". Therefore, he simply cannot grasp the concept of the way people who are made of flesh and blood think, and the desire of returning to where one belongs no matter how beautiful or appealing any other place may be, for home is where the heart is. It is then when Dorothy tried to explain to her new stuffed friend that he can't understand because he has no brains. When he met Dorothy, at first he did not understand why the little girl wanted to leave the magical Land of Oz and go back to Kansas as the majority of Oz is such a beautiful place when Dorothy described Kansas to be colorless and dull. ![]() ![]() She thought she must have been mistaken at first, for none of the scarecrows in Kansas ever wink but presently he nodded its head to her in a friendly way. While looking earnestly into the queer, painted face of the Scarecrow, Dorothy was surprised to see one of the eyes slowly wink at her. So the Scarecrow would only stand about four or five feet high. Denslow, he is only as tall as Dorothy who is a mere child said to be no older than twelve. Because he is wearing Munchkin clothing the original Scarecrow is actually quite short in height like the majority of the Munchkin race in Oz. Around his waist is an old leather belt and on his stuffed feet are old and scuffed farm-boots of navy blue. On his stuffed body, the Scarecrow wears worn-out and faded hand-me down Munchkin clothing of blue, with an old wrinkled and pointed hat that stands a foot above his head. He is described as having an overstuffed sack filled with straw for a head with a mouth, nose, ears and eyes painted on with blue paint, (one of his eyes is said to be larger than the other) and has two big blue buttons for pupils. Somewhere in the middle of the Munchkin Country of Oz, the Scarecrow was introduced as being placed high up on a wooden pole in the cornfields of the Munchkin farming community. A "Berryfied" version of him also appears in the Strawberry Shortcake episode Berry Brick Road, where the character shares his voice actor, Samantha Triba, with Ginger Snap. ![]() In Minnie's Wizard of Dizz, the Scarecrow is played by Goofy, who's voiced by Bill Farmer. Bolger also played Aunt Em and Uncle Henry's farmworker, Hunk, who serves as the Scarecrow's Kansas counterpart. Ray Bolger plays him in the The Wizard of Oz film. Due to his lack of a brain, the Scarecrow seeks a brain from the Wizard. The Scarecrow is the deuteragonist of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. He is the first ally to meet Dorothy Gale. ~ The Scarecrow's reaction when the Tin Woodsman tells him that asking the Wizard of Oz for a brain isn't a smart thing to do. ~ The Scarecrow retorts that he cannot remember a thing when Strawberry Shortcake mentions that Pupcake was trying to say that the Scarecrow could've barked the crows away on his own in Berry Brick Road from Strawberry Shortcake. ![]() I can't remember a thing! There's nothing but straw in here! ~ Scarecrow to Cowardly Lion, and Tin Man in Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return. It's been years since she destroyed the Wicked Witches, but to her, it's going to seem like only yesterday. But time in Oz passes differently than in her world. ~ The Scarecrow's most famous quote (It was later said by the DQ lips) Wasn't he pointing the other way?) Of course, people do go both ways. Scarecrows don't talk.) It's pleasant down that way too. ( Dorothy: Who said that? Don't be silly, Toto. ![]()
