A still from the short.

Status: Lost

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. The short was likely named after the Humpty Dumpty Circus toy set released by A.Schoenhut Company, which highly resembles the toy set in the short[1].
