Shoebox Zoo is an urban fantasy TV series made in a collaboration between BBC Scotland and various Canadian television companies. It is mostly live-action, but with CGI used for the animal figurines. The show centers on the story of a young girl named Marnie McBride, who is given a shoebox containing four toy animals by a mysterious old man at a junk shop, as a gift for her 11th birthday. These magical toys have the power to come alive on Marnie’s command, and they’re on a quest to find an ancient book that once belonged to a great and powerful wizard.

    I discovered Shoebox Zoo quite recently, nearly 18 years after it originally aired (as of the time this review was originally written). Truthfully, I went into it with very low expectations, and was very hesitant to check it out at first, but my curiosity was piqued and so I ended up deciding to watch it. Much to my shock, I ended up enjoying it quite a lot, so much so that Id even rank it among my favorite shows of all time. As such, I wanted to make this review in order to share my thoughts on some of the main aspects of the show, among other things.

    To start things off, Id like to talk about the central focus of the show, the titular shoebox animals, since I firmly believe the show did a tremendous job with them. Theyre incredibly fun...
