Ozma gave him some land in the Winkie Country and Jack Pumpkinhead designed a mansion for him. The Emerald City of Oz He also has a boat made from a hollowed corncob, decorated with brilliant jewels and with a purple silk sail.
The Scarecrow of Oz. The Scarecrow gets turned into a bear by Mrs. Yoop , but then later gets changed back by Ozma. He also sacrifices his straw to feed a Hip-po-graf. The Tin Woodman of Oz. The Scarecrow in the movie adaptation of The Wiz , was a new take on the character. This version of the Scarecrow was made entirely of junk.
He had a popcorn bucket for a hat, two trashbags for a torso and pants, stockings for arms, and old dirty boots. As well as an old sack for a head and a reese cup for a nose with a styrofoam afro. He was portrayed by musician Michael Jackson making this his first film role.
The Scarecrow had a child-like innocence. Whenever he encountered something for the first time he would get close to it and examine it by mostly cocking his head left or right. When Dorothy found him, he was being bullied by talking crows by making fun of him and forcing him to sing songs. She scares the crows away and invites the Scarecrow on her journey to see The Wiz. Though he believed and was told by crows that he didn't have a brain, throughout the journey he was always the one to figure out ways to help his friends such as finding the Yellow Brick Road, saving Dorothy and the Lion from the Poppies and finding the solution to kill the Wicked Witch.
His head was cable operated and relied almost entirely on the movements of an agile and incredible performer named "Justin Case" for its realism. It was very photogenic and very powerful on screen. The Scarecrow in Return to Oz was nothing like his counterpart in the musical played by Ray Bolger.
This one was much more animated and gave the actor more ways to speak visually with the body. The other Scarecrow was obviously much more verbal, singing to songs etc. In Magic Land the Scarecrow is called Strasheela. In the graphic novel adaptation the Scarecrow was a stuffed man as in the original book. In Treasury of Illustrated Classics The Wizard of Oz the Scarecrow wore the same blue sleeve shirt, sneakers, jeans, and black pointed hat as the Munchkins.

We're off to see the Wizard! There all illusions all there is that is real, is the friendship that two can share.
I'm not afraid of a Witch! I'm not afraid of anything But I'd face a whole box full of them for the chance of getting some brains! Look, I won't be any trouble, because I don't eat anything. And I won't try to manage things, because I can't think. Won't you please take me with you? She answers with the obvious: she's always liked him just the way he is. When the Wizard finally gives him a "brain" which is just some pins and needles mixed with bran the Scarecrow gains the confidence he needs to feel good about himself.
But the smart thoughts? Those he's had all along. Just like with Dorothy, the Scarecrow's journey as a character is not about change or growth. As he traveled, the Scarecrow didn't gain something new. He just had the opportunity to use intelligence he already possessed—and, of course, to discover that he possessed it.

Study Guide. Frank Baum. Previous Next. The Scarecrow The Scarecrow is the first friend that Dorothy makes on the yellow brick road, and he's exactly the kind of guy who makes a perfect companion on a road trip. Born Yesterday The thing is, Scarecrow was born yesterday. So Insecure The sad irony of the Scarecrow's life is that his greatest insecurity happens to be his greatest strength.
What's Up With the Ending? All were painted blue, for in this country of the East blue was the favorite color. Toward evening, when Dorothy was tired with her long walk and began to wonder where she should pass the night, she came to a house rather larger than the rest.
On the green lawn before it many men and women were dancing. Five little fiddlers played as loudly as possible, and the people were laughing and singing, while a big table near by was loaded with delicious fruits and nuts, pies and cakes, and many other good things to eat. The people greeted Dorothy kindly, and invited her to supper and to pass the night with them; for this was the home of one of the richest Munchkins in the land, and his friends were gathered with him to celebrate their freedom from the bondage of the Wicked Witch.
Dorothy ate a hearty supper and was waited upon by the rich Munchkin himself, whose name was Boq. Then she sat upon a settee and watched the people dance. So we know you are a friendly witch.
Dorothy did not know what to say to this, for all the people seemed to think her a witch, and she knew very well she was only an ordinary little girl who had come by the chance of a cyclone into a strange land. When she had tired watching the dancing, Boq led her into the house, where he gave her a room with a pretty bed in it. The sheets were made of blue cloth, and Dorothy slept soundly in them till morning, with Toto curled up on the blue rug beside her.
She ate a hearty breakfast, and watched a wee Munchkin baby, who played with Toto and pulled his tail and crowed and laughed in a way that greatly amused Dorothy. Toto was a fine curiosity to all the people, for they had never seen a dog before. It is better for people to keep away from Oz, unless they have business with him.
But it is a long way to the Emerald City, and it will take you many days. The country here is rich and pleasant, but you must pass through rough and dangerous places before you reach the end of your journey. This worried Dorothy a little, but she knew that only the Great Oz could help her get to Kansas again, so she bravely resolved not to turn back. She bade her friends good-bye, and again started along the road of yellow brick.
When she had gone several miles she thought she would stop to rest, and so climbed to the top of the fence beside the road and sat down. There was a great cornfield beyond the fence, and not far away she saw a Scarecrow, placed high on a pole to keep the birds from the ripe corn. Dorothy leaned her chin upon her hand and gazed thoughtfully at the Scarecrow.
Its head was a small sack stuffed with straw, with eyes, nose, and mouth painted on it to represent a face. An old, pointed blue hat, that had belonged to some Munchkin, was perched on his head, and the rest of the figure was a blue suit of clothes, worn and faded, which had also been stuffed with straw.
On the feet were some old boots with blue tops, such as every man wore in this country, and the figure was raised above the stalks of corn by means of the pole stuck up its back. While Dorothy was looking earnestly into the queer, painted face of the Scarecrow, she was surprised to see one of the eyes slowly wink at her.
