"Unleash the power of your imagination, for in its realm, all dreams take flight." Embrace the invitation to create your heart's desire, as Apple TV unveils the official trailer for "Not a Box," an enchanting animated series tailored for young dreamers. Rooted deeply in the cherished children's book bearing the same name, this series beckons young viewers into a realm where the mundane, through the magic of imagination, transforms into marvels beyond belief.
Journey with Riley, a bright-eyed bunny brimming with creativity, who, armed with nothing more than a humble cardboard box, conjures up magical realms teeming with whimsical friends and breathtaking adventures. Voiced with charm by Isabel Birch as Riley and brought to life with Ian James Corlett as "Adult," this eight-episode odyssey invites little ones and their families to embark on a voyage of creation, exploration, and celebration, stepping into a vibrant world brimming with endless environments, enchanting characters, and unforgettable encounters—as boundless as the human imagination itself.
While undeniably aimed at the young, the sheer joy and creativity on display make "Not a Box" an irresistible delight for all ages. The animation style, reminiscent of Don Hertzfeldt's masterpieces, captivates with its minimalist stick-figure charm, as Riley's imaginative worlds spring vividly to life around her.
Based on the award-winning book series conceived by Antoinette Portis, "Not a Box" is an animated gem created and scripted by Michael Rabb, a seasoned writer behind beloved kids' series like "Goldie and Bear" and "Chuggington." Under the directorial guidance of Siri Melchior, and produced by Rusty Tracy and Alex Jennings, this series is a collaborative effort by NiteLite Pictures, Rock Paper Scissors, and Silver Creek Falls Entertainment. Kate Robinson serves as the "Imagination and Creativity Expert," ensuring every frame pulses with inspiration.
Executive produced by a dream team including Dete Meserve, Michael Rabb, Debbie Crosscup, Andrew Ruhemann, Linda Carlson, Angus Wall, and Harry Lowell, "Not a Box" will debut exclusively on Apple TV+ this summer, on June 13th, 2025. Prepare to be enchanted, as Riley's cardboard-crafted escapades ignite the creative spark within each of us.
