tent: the baby lands in some water, Buddy and the lady the neck of a giraffe, down which they slide in order to safely reach the ground. Mother calls for her child, Buddy futilely searches; a sobbing mother is then comforted by Buddy. Just then, the water into which the baby fell is revealed to be the home of a hippopotamus, in whose mouth the baby safely and happily sits. The mother takes her child from an obliging hippo, and the reunited two dance, in a circle, with Buddy. Release date discrepancy The dating in this article follows the chronology given in the article Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies filmography (1929–1939). As noted above, the chronological release list given as an appendix in Leonard Maltin's Of Mice and Magic gives as the release date 8 November 1933. The same list, of course, gives a similarly conflicting order of release for Buddy's shorts: according to Maltin's book, the order, after Buddy's Bearcats and before Buddy of the Legion is Buddy the Detective, followed by Buddy the Woodsman, Buddy's Circus, Viva Buddy, Buddy's Adventures, Buddy the Dentist, Buddy's Pony Express, and Buddy's Theatre, after which Wikipedia and Maltin's book agree on the order and dates of release. Home media Buddy's Circus is featured on disc three of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 6. Along with Buddy's Day Out and Buddy's Beer Garden, it is one of only three Buddy cartoons released on DVD.
