If ever there was a cartoon worthy of spawning a soundtrack, it's JoJo's Circus. It's not that the songs are especially good--with titles like "Where is Dinky?" and "Uncle Flippy Had a Farm" you can't expect much--but in the span of a single listen, 2- to 5-year-olds are apt to pop up, do a "Snake Dance," swing it into high gear with "Jump Swish Shimmy," and eventually "Take a Bow." The idea is for kids to forget they're doing something good for them--exercising. Whether they're on to the grown-up scheme barely matters, because the fun of hoop-jumping and getting tickled goodnight reliably takes over. Recorded stabs at tot-targeted workouts rarely get it right; this soundtrack does. --Tammy La Gorce

5.0 out of 5 stars High-Energy Soundtrack from Great Musical Show, November 14, 2004

By	George Buttner "Agent0042" (Dayton, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This soundtrack is filled with great music from "JoJo's Circus" and seems like a very obvious choice. "JoJo's Circus" is filled with great music, containing at least two songs in every episode. This soundtrack puts together some of the best, most high-energy and most important pieces from the show.


I too thought that the "What Have You Learned?" song should have been on this CD. An instrumental version of it is on there as the "Spotlight Moment" song, but I can't see any reason for the absence of the vocal piece. Having the toned-down version of the song that played during a couple of the show's "night-time" stories would have been nice too. The only other thing I missed was that the "Clownfoot" song was not I had hoped for. On that story, JoJo's Dad sings a really great song about Clownfoot that absolutely cracked me up because it used pretty much the same music and style as the classic "Monster Mash."

Otherwise, this is a great soundtrack. Perhaps there's more that's being saved for "More Songs From JoJo's Circus" --- it certainly seems likely, given the popularity of the show!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Sure Crowd Pleaser, April 13, 2004

By A Customer

Our 18 month old daughter loves JoJo's Circus! So, we were very pleased when we came across this CD. She listens to it all the time when we are in the car. The songs are full of life, and are very cute. Her favorite is "Take A Bow"- it has a catchy tune, and it gives instruction on how to bow. These songs offer a positive message, and are fun to listen to. Even Dad loves the music! Even if your little one has never seen the show, I would buy the CD for the quality of the music alone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome for JoJo Circus Fans, April 21, 2004

By A Customer

I was very happy when I found this cd. My 2 year old is a big JoJo Circus fan and I knew she would like the cd. When we received it and I played it for her, she was instantly dancing all over. She knew all of the dances that go with the songs and she now sings alot of the tunes throughout the day (and so do I, they are very "catchy" songs). This is a nice cd!
