'''''The Humpty Dumpty Circus''''' was a stop-motion short from 1898 that was directed by J. Stuart Blackton and produced by Albert E. Smith. The short, known for being the earliest known example of stop-motion animation, used Smith's daughter's toys which were photographed scene by scene to create an illusion of constant movement.
 
It is considered to be the first (known) stop-motion short ever made but has unfortunately been lost to time with no footage available, with only a few stills known to remain.
 
Considering how old it is combined with the lack of film preservation around the time, it's highly unlikely that it will ever be found.
