The Humpty Dumpty Circus is an animated short film made in 1897 by director and producer J. Stuart Blackton and Albert E. Smith, the Anglo-American founders of Vitagraph Studios. The short was the first film to use the stop-motion technique, and featured a circus with acrobats and animals in motion. According to Smith, they used his daughter's set of small circus dolls, which had jointed limbs so they could be balanced in place. Unfortunately, the film now only exists as still images.
