Little Clowns of Happytown is an American animated television series produced by DiC and aired on ABC from September 26th, 1987, to July 16th, 1988, for a total of 18 episodes.[1] The show is about the young clowns from Happytown, whose goal is to spread happiness and imbue positive mental attitudes around the world wherever they go. The only thing that stands in their way is Awful BeBad, the master of doom and gloom, and his two minions, Geek and Whiner.
The show was later released in VHS and DVD. The Mill Creek Entertainment NTSC DVD release TV Guide Spotlight: Totally '80s Toons, UK VHS and DVD releases has very few episodes.[2][3] Only the Joking Around with the Little Clowns shorts, several episodes dubbed in Arabic, and an intro of the show have surfaced.
After that, a few episodes and clips have been found in various languages. A VHS rip of three episodes of the Russian overdub was found by a user, "RetroGameFan9000", on a Russian file-sharing site, TrackerOK. In 2016, a YouTube user named "Meringue in Sugartown, USA!" uploaded 4 of the original English episodes of the show on YouTube, but they have been taken down due to the account termination. In 2017, a YouTuber by the name of "TheMysteriousMrEnter" uploaded a review of the episode "I'm Just Like You", which contained footage of the episode. The full episode is still lost, however.
A large amount of the episodes were found in Korean on August 18th, 2017, by an LMW user by the name of "Awful BeBad" who purchased a Korean bootleg DVD of the show and uploaded them on Dailymotion as password protected videos, with the password being "lostmediawiki.com", minus the quotation marks. The same user later uploaded a few English episodes and Russian episodes and plans to try and recover more of the series in the future.[4]
Finally, on 7/30/2021, the last 3 remaining episodes were found to be uploaded by YouTube user Eddy Kyte.
