The Amazing Digital Circus Is A Masterpiece (Ad Free)
🕑 Added 2023-10-20 12:17:21 +0000 UTC“The Amazing Digital Circus” has become the internet’s latest obsession.
With a full 25 minute pilot released by Glitch on the 14th of October, it has taken no time at all to rack up over 13 million views in only a few days, inspiring countless memes and breakdowns.
People really seem to love the character of Pomni, who has inspired many edits, mostly revolving around them staring at the screen in despair.
And of course there’s still countless videos dissecting characters from this single pilot, garnering hundreds of thousands of views.
There’s something about clowns, or characters that are supposed to be child friendly that ultimately aren’t, that the internet adores.
The Amazing Digital Circus brilliantly mashes aspects of video game culture into its runtime, with a comedic sense of uncanny horror.
It all falls under the category of mascot horror, whereby creatures such as Huggy Wuggy and Freddy Fazbear have ultimately become comforting toys for children.
I’m sure Pomni will be no different, as when visiting the Glitch storefront one is immediately met with a slick category of various marketable plushies and merchandise.
However, from an optimistic point of view, that’s totally fine – Glitch appears to be run by two brothers with a passion for animation, and they’ve really knocked it out of the park with the Amazing Digital Circus.
I want to point out the fact that Glitch Productions is actually an Australian studio, and I’m extremely proud of my down under brethren and their efforts to create fantastic shows for the masses.
You’ll be delighted to discover that they’re also responsible for creating SMG4, another series responsible for inspiring countless memes across the internet.
So, what we’ve got here is a company that seems hell-bent on producing content tailor-made for an online audience, and they’re absolutely smashing it, using an in-house crew of creatives and animators based in Sydney Australia, fully aware of how internet culture works.
It would also seem they collaborated with Gooseworx, who wrote the theme song for the Amazing Digital Circus, and also helped direct it.
Gooseworx is responsible for the viral Little Runmo series which absolutely exploded wayyy back in 2019, and as a result it becomes extremely clear as to why this new show has become so popular in 2023.
With a crack team of experienced artists working on the Amazing Digital Circus, and providing a hefty 25 minute pilot for all to enjoy, I cannot stress enough how this moment has become lightning in a bottle, with all elements lined up in the right place at the right time to produce a masterpiece.
