I added information on the availability of the various VHS tapes and the tracks of the soundtrack. I also added images of the vhs box arts, but so far only included the single.)

Jingaroo was a direct-to-video 1998 animated series from Australia. It was co-created by Mark Stokes of Beckett Entertainment,[1] and produced by DNA Productions (responsible for the CG animation in shows like Jimmy Neutron and The Ant Bully). Jeff Amano[2] drew promotional artwork for the series. The first volume was completed sometime around late Summer-Fall 1998 and then shown on November 19 of that year at the Granada Movie Grill Prestonwood at Dallas, Texas. The last two volumes were completed by around Summer 1999.[3] The three volumes were then released on October 22, 1999, each containing three stories.[4] The Videos had advertisements within the 1999 - 2000 issues of Beckett Pokemon Collector magazine,[5] Which included a 3-part comic[6]

The episodes focused on leading an active, sporty lifestyle, with characters (all based on Australian-native animals) occasionally breaking out into musical numbers, all of which were collated on a soundtrack album.[7] The series also used to have a website, which has since shut down.

Between issues Due to the limited release on VHS, Jingaroo has become extremely obscure. Only one complete video; The Fool Moon, has since been resurfaced. Only one track ripping of the cds has made its way online.
