What happens

Out of the Box is an American children's television series which premiered on Playhouse Disney on October 7, 1998, and ended its run on December 6, 2000, with reruns until June 2006 (December 2006 in the UK). The series takes place in "The Box", a playhouse made entirely of cardboard boxes, where two hosts, Tony James and Vivian Bayubay McLaughlin, make crafts, sing songs, and act out plays. Two special episodes were released on VHS by Walt Disney Home Video, Out of the Box: Trick or Treat, and Out of the Box: Happy Holidays. Trick or Treat is also available on the DVD entitled Rolie Polie Olie: A Spookie Ookie Halloween. The series was created and executive produced by Douglas Love and was based on his series of books from HarperCollins. Three seasons were filmed at Lifetime Studios in New York City. Production ended in 2000, with the final episodes being broadcast in December of that year. The series earned three Parents' Choice Awards for excellence in television and an Emmy nomination.
