We report temperature dependent measurements of the Raman spectra of microcrystalline $3C\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{SiC}$ free-standing films. The measurements were performed under direct laser heating of the thin films for temperatures up to 1700 K. The temperature dependence of the TO- and LO-phonon frequencies agrees well with that of single-crystal $3C\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{SiC},$ but the Raman lines are considerably broader. We discuss the influence of stacking faults on the linewidth by comparing our results with computer simulated Raman intensity profiles of $3C\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{SiC}$ structures having randomly distributed stacking faults. Good agreement with respect to the linewidth and disorder-induced peak shift is found if the average stacking fault distance is assumed to be 6 \AA{}. We observe an irreversible narrowing of the Raman lines at temperatures above 1900 K, which we ascribe to an annealing of stacking faults in $3C\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{SiC}.$
