Today, Apple TV+ unveiled the trailer for "Not a Box," an all-new animated preschool series premiering globally on Friday, June 13. Inspired by the beloved, award-winning children's picture book by the New York Times bestselling author and illustrator Antoinette Portis, the series follows bright-eyed bunny Riley, who with just one cardboard box, imagines magical worlds full of new friends and fantastic adventures!

With Isabel Birch as Riley and Ian James Corlett ("Dragon Ball Z") as Adult, the eight-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.

The series is written and co-executive produced by Emmy Award winner Michael Rabb. The animation is produced by Passion Pictures with executive producers Debbie Crosscup and Andrew Ruhemann, and directed by Siri Melchior.

Kate Robinson, director of the Sir Ken Robinson Foundation and daughter of Sir Ken Robinson, serves as the imagination and creativity expert on the series through Apple TV+'s changemakers initiative.
