At the beginning of the show a train would come out of the clouds and float down to the ground and out would come a bunch of animals. They were members of a circus. It was actual people in animal costumes. The one I remember the best is a cat that I think was an acrobat. She would wear like a pink or purple tutu. I just can't remember the name.

Thanks a bunch!

It sounds like Dumbo's Circus which ran on the Disney Channel. I thin it was mid-80's and on, though. It also had the lion dressed up as the ringleader... his name was Linus?

I can't remember the name either, but it also had a peacock, she was purple and kind of like the lead female role. And the cat was in a pink tutu.

The Answer is Zoobilee Zoo and it aired from 1986 - 1988.

It was zoobilee zoo... you can watch the intro here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWeGAloHOAY
But I think it was supposed to be a kangaroo, not a cat...

Oh my god! I have been searching for the name of that show forever! I used to watch it all the time growing up and I asked my brother and sister and they both had no idea what I was talking about, aahh... thank you!!

The show with a train coming from the clouds and animals getting out is Dumbo's Circus.
