JoJo's Circus brings the value of learning about movement through age appropriate and imitatable games, songs, colorful circus characters and funny storylines.''''Young viewers are invited to use the body's large muscle groups to walk, run, dance, jump, climb and move with JoJo and all the characters in Circus Town, engaging fine and gross motor skills. At the end of each story, JoJo takes the spotlight and answers the question, "What did you learn today?"''''JoJo's Circus has come to an end. No new episodes are being produced and as of late 2008, the program has been removed from the schedule on Playhouse Disney in the United States entirely. For other markets, check listings. Episodes of the show have also been released on two DVDs: Take a Bow and Animal A-Go-Go. Additionally, the episode "A Circus Town Christmas" was released on the compilation DVD A Very Playhouse Disney Holiday.

She is very graceful and more practical of the bunch, which sometimes causes her to come off as being a bit mean. Deep down, she's just one of the gang who loves to hang out with her friends. Trina comes from an established tightrope family and wants to be a ballerina / tightrope performer in the circus.''''Croaky Frogini- Croaky is a silly frog leaper who JoJo meets on her first day of school.

  • It's so cute!

    "Great"
    By TwoTonePhantom, Mar 06, 2011 Report Abuse
    I remember watching this show with my little brother when he was in preschool. By the time this show premiered, I grew out of Playhouse Disney, but this show was an exception.

    This show is from Jumbo Pictures/Cartoon Pizza, which created Doug (by far one of the greatest cartoons ever), Allegra's Window, 101 Dalmatians: The Series, PB&J Otter, Stanley, and lots of others. That's another reason why I like this show.

    The characters are very cute. There are no mean characters, everyone is friendly. Though yes, there are conflicts, which are solved with morals. Some of them are to play fair, share, and help others out. On an interesting note, Trina is somewhat of an expy to Beebe Bluff from Doug.

    The theme song is pretty catchy too. This show is MUCH better than the other crap they show now.moreless

    This show is lame, and pointless simultaneously. Okay, a young (girl) clown goes on adventures with circus animals. How lame is that?! Not only is it a waste of your time, you'll probably wish you read a book instead. To save yourself of the time consumption, don't watch it--you'll regret every moment of it.

    Awesome! Jim Jinkins did it again. Since he first released Doug, he's certain that he has a potential in Animation. Today, he created a series that is incredibly awesome.

    For me as a Anime Fan, I really love this series. JoJo and Goliath would agree to. As for the story, it tells the story of JoJo, a 6 year old clown girl living in Circus Town along with her parents and her pet lion Goliath. She has a lot of friends, goes to the Circus School, which is run by her teacher Mrs. Kersplatski.

    A good series that the preschoolers love.moreless

    I really wish they would bring back this show. I live in Texas and they dont have it on disney channel anymore. It went off the air about 3 weeks ago. I had to go out and get my daughter the dvds because she absolutly loves this show. The dvds are great but dont have all the episodes on them. I really wish they would bring it back on air so that she can see the ones that she hasnt watched over and over again. The show used to come on at 5:00 am every morning and my daughter would get up to watch it every morning. SO now she is up at 5:00 am for nothing. LOLmoreless
