The show's title card.
Status: Partially Lost
JoJo's Circus was a Canadian-American stop-motion animated children's show that aired on Playhouse Disney from September 28, 2003 to February 14, 2007, with reruns until 2009.[1]
The show was created by four people - Jim and Lisa Jinkins, David Campbell and Eric Weiner, with the show revolving around the titular JoJo, who is a six-year-old clown girl who lives in the small, happy Circus Town. JoJo invites young viewers to get up and dance, jump, bend and wiggle. All episode storylines have a moral lesson that emphasizes character-building skills such as cooperation, sharing and respect for others. In 2006, a spin off, Feeling Good With JoJo premiered. These were a series of shorts that would teach the audience at home to exercise. These shorts outlasted the original series, with new shorts airing until May 16, 2008.
Availability
Despite the series' popularity, not all of the show has resurfaced. This is especially odd, as the series aired during a time where nearly everyone in North America had some form of home recording. Most episodes are readily available online, meaning most of the series remains. Two JoJo's Circus DVDs were released in 2005, Take a Bow and Animal-a-Go-Go, with a Playhouse Disney DVD releasing in late 2005 containing the Season 1 episode "A Circus Town Christmas." Altogether, that would make nine episodes. DVD releases of Higglytown Heroes would also contain one episode of the show per DVD.
Nearly twenty years after the show premiered, on August 3rd, 2023, Twitter user @WiggleznGigglez made a tweet stating that most of the show was not accessible to the public either through physical media or streaming:
"Just some few episodes posted on YouTube, Dailymotion and the Internet Archive."
The tweet took off with many people remembering the show and with growing interest in finding the lost segments and episodes, the original poster commented under the tweet with screenshots of notes of what segments were available on the internet, what is available but in poor quality and what segments are completely missing.[2]
