The Amazing Digital Circus is an upcoming CG animated surreal dark comedy series created, written, and directed by Gooseworx (Little Runmo, Elain the Bounty Hunter), and produced by Glitch Productions, with Kevin Temmer leading the animation team. It marks Glitch's second collaborative effort after Murder Drones, and their fourth fully-animated series overall.amazingseodigital Described as I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream if it looked like I Spy, the story features six troubled human souls—including a young woman named Pomni (Lizzie Freeman)—who find themselves stuck in, well, the Amazing Digital Circus, a crazy virtual world run by a demented, mouth-headed artificial intelligence named Caine (Alex Rochon). Together, the six get dragged into all sorts of wacky misadventures...and by that, we mean unrelenting, deeply traumatizing torture to satisfy Caine's whims. And I Must Scream: The show's premise is that six human souls are violently tormented by Caine without the release of death to save them, all Played for Laughs. This is demonstrated in the teaser, where Pomni suffers multiple knives to the head and lives, but is very much traumatized. Since the plot draws from the trope namer, this is only natural. Black Comedy: The teaser markets the show as a "surreal dark comedy", and illustrates it by playing Pomni's visible trauma over getting skewered by knives for morbid laughs. Bloodless Carnage: Pomni is made into a Human Pincushion with four knives sticking out of her in the teaser, but there's not a drop of blood to be seen. Butt-Monkey: Pomni and the five other souls she's trapped with are a very Black Comedy version of this. They're suffering and unable to be free, even by death, and it's all Played for Laughs. Crapsaccharine World: The Amazing Digital Circus is a whimsical, primary-colored virtual circus one might find in a children's pre-rendered CG computer game from The '90s, and its inhabitants resemble classic toys like wind-up teeth and clown dolls. It's also a hellish prison for the show's human cast where they're put through physical and mental torture for its ringmaster's warped amusement. Also, one of its locales harbors an Ominous Obsidian Ooze that can be seen lurking in the background.
