“Anything is possible when you use your imagination.” So create whatever you want! Apple TV has debuted an official trailer for an animated series for kids called Not a Box, which is based directly on the beloved children’s book of the same name. It’s about using cardboard to build anything! The animated series invites young viewers into a world where imagination transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. Follow the bright-eyed bunny Riley, who with just one cardboard box, imagines magical worlds full of new friends and fantastic adventures! Featuring the voices of Isabel Birch as Riley and Ian James Corlett as “Adult”. The 8-episode series invites young viewers and their families to create, explore and celebrate as they step into a rich world of environments, characters and encounters that is as limitless as their imaginations. Of course this is meant for kids, but it looks like so much fun! The animation style reminds me of Don Hertzfeldt’s work, with the simplistic stick figure kind of person & imaginative worlds coming to life around her. Enjoy.
