What's the Story?

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say ( 51 ):
Kids say ( 195 ):

This show is a mixed bag; while it boasts creative animation and a unique setting, the constant chaos and darker themes aren't suitable for younger children. The Amazing Digital Circus' humor, which often breaks the fourth wall, adds a layer of cleverness, but the repetitive nature of the character traits soon grows tiring. This one is best suited for mature viewers who enjoy quirky shows with a touch of darkness.
