The Amazing Digital Circus

The Amazing Digital Circus Watch Online, a surreal psychological black comedy and computer-animated series, originates from Australia and America. This unique show, created, written, and directed by Gooseworx, is a notable production by Glitch Productions with Kevin Temmer leading the animation team. It marks Glitch Productions' second collaborative effort following Murder Drones and their fourth fully animated series.

Described as a blend of "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" and the aesthetic of an I Spy book, the show focuses on six human souls transformed into toy forms. The characters include the timid yet pivotal Pomni (voiced by Lizzie Freeman), the mischievous Jax (Michael Kovach), the optimistic Ragatha (Amanda Hufford), the sensitive Gangle (Marissa Lenti), the perfectionist Zooble (Ashley Nichols), and the paranoid veteran Kinger (Sean Chiplock).

Trapped in the Digital Circus, a whimsical VR circus-themed computer game, they are under the watch of the quirky AI Caine (Alex Rochon) and his assistant Bubble (Gooseworx). The Amazing Digital Circus Online series explores their bizarre, often disturbing adventures as they strive to return to the real world while clinging to their sanity.

Following its October 13, 2023, premiere, the pilot episode quickly gained popularity. Amassing over 100 million views within a month, it led Glitch Productions to announce further development of the Amazing Digital Circus Online series.
