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