Fixing indentation
Changed line(s) 16 (click to see context) from:
* UnintentionalUncannyValley: Miss Bee Bee inserting herself into the story always looks off, as she's [[BehindTheBlack always outside the frame of the story,]] but with no proper visual cues to gauge ''where'' she is in relation to the background. This leads to awkward scenes where she looks like an improperly placed or scaled animation cel.

Moved from YMMV.The Scarecrow
Added DiffLines:
* AccidentalInnuendo:
** Grisham's brief struggle with Bristles the sentient broom. It looks like Grisham is doing something else.
** Earlier: "Gimme some wood!'" which ''might'' have been unintentional, but Grisham enthusiastically throttling that wood at that angle surely wasn't.
** The feather might be interpreted as a Freudian symbol (Feathertop thinks he can't have the girl or be a real boy without it).
* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Was Polly aware on a subconscious level that Feathertop was the scarecrow that guarded her silver? Her lines in their love duet ''"Have I been here before? / I know I’ve seen you before"'' seem to hint at this. It might help explain why she fell for him so fast.
* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Cheswick's stomach has a mind of its own. He even named it Melvin!
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Bar those who grew up with the film, older audiences aren't likely to be too attached to its central characters, but sometimes find enjoyment in the supporting cast. Two examples are Count Grisham, for his LargeHam personality; and Max the sarcastic mouse, who those annoyed by all the other characters he interacts with, might relate to.
* LoveToHate: Count Grisham is supremely selfish and heartless in spades, but he's so [[LargeHam over-the-top]], ridiciously campy and flamboyant, it's hard not to get a laugh out of him every moment he's on screen.
* NarmCharm: Hearing the name "Feathertop" throughout the movie, with no hint of irony, is basically the one thing that makes this film stand out from all other generic Disney knock-off films. Doubled during moments of (intended) intensity.
** "...'cuz I am ''one bad scarecrow!''"
** "''Let them rip!''"
* RetroactiveRecognition: Creator/RayPorter, who [[ColbertBump recently has achieved fame]] for playing Darkseid in Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague, voices the main villain Grisham.
* SoBadItsGood: The poor film was only ever trying to entertain and teach morals to ''very'' young children. But due to it's Disney-ripoff cliches, plot holes, and having a protagonist unironically named "Feathertop," it's ripe for snarking among Millennials.
* SlowPacedBeginning: Inverted, as the movie starts off really fast due to Miss Bee Bee BreakingTheFourthWall constantly. It's not until she leaves that the movie picks up its pace.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: The music that plays during the "Swing Town" segment in the climax sounds very similar to Benny Goodman's "Sing Sing Sing".
* UnintentionalUncannyValley: Miss Bee Bee inserting herself into the story always looks off, as she's [[BehindTheBlack always outside the frame of the story,]] but with no proper visual cues to gauge ''where'' she is in relation to the background. This leads to awkward scenes where she looks like an improperly placed or scaled animation cel.
** Feathertop's transformation is instantaneous both in-context and out, as in there's not a single transitioning frame from his scarecrow self and human self.
