Not A Box Exclusive Clip
In this Mama’s Geeky exclusive clip, Riley (Isabel Birch) uses his imagination to make a new friend for himself. He is seen hugging a box, but when asked about it, states it is not a box, but rather a dinosaur egg. The world beautifully transforms around him, sending him back in time to when dinos roamed the earth.
Riley explains that when the egg hatches, he will have a new dinosaur friend to play with. The egg doesn’t waste any time, hatching to reveal an adorable new baby dinosaur friend, just as Riley knew it would. Baby Dino attempts to take his first step, but falls to the ground.
The trailer proves just how adorable this series is going to be. It is going to encourage kids everywhere to use their imagination for play, which is extremely important – especially in a time where technology reigns superior. There is nothing quite like taking what seems like an ordinary box, and making it so much more.
Join Riley on all of his adventures when Not A Box comes to Apple TV+ on June 13.
