Trivia[]
- Like Murder Drones, the show will last 8 episodes, including the pilot.[19]
- Additionally, the show won't be releasing its episodes weekly.
- This is the second Glitch show to be created by a non-Australian showrunner (as Gooseworx is American), the first being Murder Drones, which is created by American animator Liam Vickers.
- Additionally, this is the first Glitch show to be created by a female showrunner.
- Gooseworx described the show as "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream with the aesthetic of an I Spy book". Additionally, the series closely resembles the style from the show Popee the Performer.
- Gooseworx later elaborated on the former comparison, noting that "instead of AM being the living embodiment of hate, he's a fun-loving wacky little guy".[20]
- Another difference between I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream and The Amazing Digital Circus is the number of humans involved. For the former, there are five humans (four males and one female), while the latter has six humans (three females, two males, and one unknown gender)
- Gooseworx was previously asked if she would collaborate with SMG4 on her CuriousCat account, though at that time, she was unaware of his existence.[21]
- This would be the second Glitch Productions show to be voiced by Lizzie Freeman, the first one being Sunset Paradise.
- Gooseworx stated on Twitter that none of the characters in the show have any private parts. However, this was a joke.
- The main characters' designs are all based on old childhood toys, mainly ones around the 70s to 90s.
- Pomni is based on a jester plush/puppet.
- Caine is based on chattering teeth.
- Ragatha is based on ragdolls.
- Jax is based on stretchy/rubber toys.
- Gangle is most likely based on the dancing ribbon on a stick and pantomine masks.
- Bubble is based on big bubbles that appear from bubble toys.
- Kinger is based on a king chess piece.
- Zooble is based on mix-and-match toys.
- Kaufmo is based on the clown bowling pins due to his head shape.
- Kaufmo is the first abstracted character to be present in the series.
- Additionaly, he was placed into the cellar to join the other abstracted characters in the show.
- The Amazing Digital Circus is the first GLITCH show to have an Arabic, Hungarian, Indonesian and Thai dub.
- In addition, unlike Murder Drones, it received a German Dub immediately after release.
- In India the show also had a Hindi Dub.
- Pomni finding the exit only to come across many similar rooms is inspired by The Stanley Parable.
- The pilot has reached more views than SMG4’s most popular video: Super Mario 64 Bloopers: Who let the Chomp out?.
- The pilot also received an Annie Award nomination for Outstanding Achievement for Character Animation in an Animated Television / Broadcast Production.
- The series is, so far, the most watched Indie animated show on YouTube. It surpassed the pilot of the former most-watched GLITCH series, Murder Drones, which has 44 million views as of this writing. The Amazing Digital Circus has 266 million more views than Murder Drones.
- This is the only Glitch show:
- To not have its soundtrack composed by AJ DiSpirito.
- To not feature David J.G. Doyle, Luke Lerdwichagul, and Kevin Lerdwichagul as voice actors.
- Whenever someone curses a censor bar covers his or her's mouth (or for Zooble's reaction, the middle finger in the pilot).
- This is not the case where, hell and damned isn't censored in the latest episode.
- This series is also the second Glitch’s animated series to be not only on Youtube, but also on a streaming service, Netflix, the first is Meta Runner with Crunchyroll. Surprisingly, it become the most viewed indie animatied series on Netflix, being top 3 of most viewed series
- Episode 1 and 3 contain references to ROBLOX DOORS. (references are in said pages trivia.)
