Marvin The Tap-Dancing Horse is a Canadian animated Preschool Show produced by Nelvana for Teletoon and PBS Kids. It is based on a children's book by the mother-son team Betty and Michael Paraskevas, the same duo behind Maggie and the Ferocious Beast, another preschool Nelvana cartoon produced in association with Teletoon. Like with Maggie and the Ferocious Beast, the Paraskevas were both involved in the production of this show and served as executive producers.The show tells the story of Marvin The Tap-Dancing Horse, an equine performer who works at a circus and carnival run by Fast-Talking Jack. A seasoned artist who has danced on stages across the world and for countless people, Marvin is joined in his line of work by a number of fellow circus animals, namely an irritable tiger named Stripes, a gentle elephant named Diamonds, and an emotional pig named Elizabeth, as well as resident carnival fortune teller Edna. However, Marvin's best friend is 9-year-old Eddy Largo, who was hired by Fast-Talking Jack to help around the circus when he came around looking for a summer job (so he wouldn't have to attend "Office Camp" like his dad wanted him to). Alongside their fellow carnival employees and performs, Marvin and Eddy always find adventure to be had around the circus.It originally aired on Teletoon in Canada and on PBS Kids as part of their Bookworm Bunch, running for 2 seasons and 26 episodes. Reruns of the show later popped up on Qubo in the United States. | |

Sibling Rivalry: Marvin and his brother Clyde. It's a one-sided example, as Clyde is only too happy to see Marvin. However, Marvin is jealous of how fast Clyde is, and obsesses over beating him in a race. | |

Irony: Around the end of "Marvin Keeps Track", Stripes and Diamonds are shown to have terrible table manners eating mouthfuls of pancakes. Meanwhile, Elizabeth, who is an animal known for being a messy eater, neatly cuts her pancakes and takes small bites. | |

Expy | |
| Marvin the Tap-Dancing Horse / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy: Very likely a mere coincidence, but most of the group has similarly matching personalities to the characters of The Brave Little Toaster, including Marvin being the optimist (Toaster), Elizabeth being the emotional Cowardly Sidekick (Blanky), fiesty and impulsive Diamonds the Elephant (Lampy), and even "Fast-Talking" Jack (Radio). The most obvious example is Stripes the Tiger whose grumpy personality is very similar to that of Kirby the vacuum cleaner. His voice even bears a somewhat striking resemblance to Kirby's voice actor, Thurl Ravenscroft. Plus, Stripes gets easily annoyed by Elizabeth's emotional outbursts, just like how Kirby gets with Blanky. Also, Elizabeth is basically a combination of Piglet from the Winnie the Pooh franchise and Hamilton from Maggie and the Ferocious Beast (Her appearance is based on a female version of the latter except with Black Bead Eyes.) | |
