Mr. Strong: King of the Circus is the 12th episode of the second season of Mr. Men and Little Miss. It was first broadcast on 11 March, 1996.
Plot[]
Mr. Strong gets his strength from the huge quantity of the eggs that he swallows every morning. One day, during a circus parade, one of the caravans overturns, trapping the Clown and his little monkey underneath it.
Luckily, Mr. Strong is at hand to rescue them in a flash. This gives the circus owner the idea of hiring Mr. Strong to do a Strong Man act.
But Mr. Snooty and Little Miss Trouble are on the prowl. They steal the eggs, which Mr. Strong is to eat just before going on stage…
By good fortune, the little monkey Mr. Strong helped has seen everything and promptly sets about retrieving the precious eggs. Mr. Strong will now be able to perform his act to rapturous applause from the crowd.
After the show, Mr. Strong and the Ringmaster go out to dinner. And what do they eat...eggs of course!

Trivia[]
- Stock footage from "Mr. Funny Puts on a Show" is used in this episode when Mr. Strong hears about the amazing circus show, and again when Mr. Strong lifts the elephant family on his shoulders.
- In the prototype version of the episode, Mr. Nosey, Mr. Topsy-Turvy, and Little Miss Splendid can be found cheering for Mr. Strong
- When Chuckles the Clown brings Mr. Strong's omelets, a character with light blue is seen in the crowd alongside with the characters that are Mr. Happy, Mr. Grumble, Mr. Greedy, Mr. Forgetful, and Mr. Worry, because it might be either Mr. Grumpy.
- This is the first episode for several things:
- The first episode Mr. Grumble is smiling.
- The first episode Little Miss Sunshine, Little Miss Wise and Little Miss Tidy appear without a speaking role.
- This is the last episode for several things:
- The last appearances of The Ringmaster and Chuckles the Clown.
Errors[]
- While Mr. Strong hears about the circus coming to town, Little Miss Helpful's hair and body are still same just like in the previous episode Mr. Funny puts on a show.
- When the ringmaster says "And now Mr. Strong will lift up the whole Elephant Family before your very eyes!" there is a Mr. Strong in the audience, and the first Mr. Strong in the ring, even Mr. Clever's ears are missing again plus Mr. Impossible appears light blue when he is the audience. Another Mr. Snooty can also be seen cheering for Mr. Strong near the end, after the first Mr. Snooty and Little Miss Trouble had already left.
