==Episodes Removed From Reruns==
==Availability==
In addition to not being included on Disney+, the episodes "Let's Eat Out," "The Gift," and "Treasures" were mysteriously removed from rotation early in the show's run, never to be broadcasted again. No one knows for sure what these episodes feature. Still, it is speculated that they were removed from reruns due to being too similar to some of season 2 episodes (for example, "Let's Eat Out" sounds very similar to season 2's "Out to Lunch"). Schedule research on Newspapers.com seems to indicate that the episodes were only shown once or twice shortly after the show premiered, as most schedule information is available as far back as December 1998 (when the season finished airing), and only the standard 21 episodes of the season appear to have been in regular rotation. This makes the chances of finding a recording of any of these episodes next to impossible.
The show had at least 79 episodes spread across 3 seasons, but only two of them, "Happy Holidays"<ref>[https://amazon.com/Out-Box-Happy-Holidays-VHS/dp/6305950709 Amazon listing for "Out Of The Box: Happy Holidays."] Retrieved 15 Oct '18</ref> and "Halloween," <ref>[https://amazon.com/Out-Box-Trick-Treat-VHS/dp/6305940819/ref=sr_1_2?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1539612086&sr=1-2&keywords=out+of+the+box Amazon listing for "Out Of The Box: Trick Or Treat."] Retrieved 15 Oct '18</ref> were released to home video. There were two VHS releases: the first was of the episode "Happy Holidays," and the second release had the episode "Halloween" on it. In addition, "Halloween" was released on the DVD ''Rolie Polie Olie: A Spookie Ookie Halloween and The Book Of Pooh: Just Say Boo!''<ref>[http://worldcat.org/title/rolie-polie-olie-a-spookie-ookie-halloween/oclc/52964798 WorldCat listing for the Rolie Polie Olie and Book of Pooh DVD that contains "Halloween."] Retrieved 15 Oct '18</ref>  as a bonus feature. Besides this, 11 other episodes have been found in full, alongside clips of "Revealing Feelings."


On October 14th, 2019, it was confirmed that the show would be among the TV shows featured on Disney's new streaming service Disney+ which launches on November 12th, 2019.<ref>[https://twitter.com/disneyplus/status/1183727579615748096 Disney Plus' tweet confirming that ''Out of the Box'' will be a part of the initial line-up when Disney+ launches.] Retrieved 15 Oct '19</ref>

The show had 82 episodes spread across 3 seasons, but only two of them, "Happy Holidays"<ref>[https://www.amazon.com/Out-Box-Happy-Holidays-VHS/dp/6305950709 Amazon listing for "Out Of The Box: Happy Holidays."] Retrieved 15 Oct '18</ref> and "Halloween," <ref>[https://www.amazon.com/Out-Box-Trick-Treat-VHS/dp/6305940819/ref=sr_1_2?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1539612086&sr=1-2&keywords=out+of+the+box Amazon listing for "Out Of The Box: Trick Or Treat."] Retrieved 15 Oct '18</ref> were released to home video.

For a brief time in late 1999 (while season 2 was premiering), three episode titles, “Let’s Eat Out”, “The Gift” and “Treasures” appeared in listings for the show. These titles weren’t used for any of the episodes shown in regular rotation, and none of the episodes on Disney+ have these titles.
 
According to the U.S. Copyright Database, however, there are gaps in the show’s production order where these titles would fit in. Specifically, the gaps appear in the first season, despite the titles only appearing during season 2’s run.
 
Based on the titles, it appears these were early versions of certain season two episodes. Further evidence of their existence comes from a clip shown in the opening for the first two seasons that isn’t from any of the regular episode and also doesn’t appear to have been filmed for the opening (see gallery below).


On October 14th, 2019, it was confirmed that the show would be among the TV shows featured on Disney's new streaming service Disney+ which launches on November 12th, 2019.<ref>[https://twitter.com/disneyplus/status/1183727579615748096 Disney Plus' tweet confirming that ''Out of the Box'' will be a part of the initial line-up when Disney+ launches.] Retrieved 15 Oct '19</ref>
However, whether these rough versions of the more familiar season 2 storyline were actually aired is disputable. Firstly, there are conflicting sources in Newspapers.com about whether “The Gift” or “Unicornicopia” was the episode aired on 12/4/99. In addition to this, various sources on Newspapers.com claim that “The Gift” and “Treasures” aired on October 6 and 10 of 1999, respectively—-rather than “Unicornicopia” and “Tooth or Consequences” premiering on those dates, as the U.S. Copyright Database and Disney+ both say. So until a recording proving is found proving that the episodes were aired, it can be assumed that the inclusion of the titles was a misprint.

The show's logo.

Status: Partially Lost

Out Of The Box is a children's television series that aired on Disney Channel from 1998 through 2004. The show was based on the works of Douglas Love and took place in "The Box," where the show's two hosts, Tony and Vivian, would have kids from the neighborhood video and do various activities, including craft-making, singing and performing plays.

Availability

The show had at least 79 episodes spread across 3 seasons, but only two of them, "Happy Holidays"[1] and "Halloween," [2] were released to home video. There were two VHS releases: the first was of the episode "Happy Holidays," and the second release had the episode "Halloween" on it. In addition, "Halloween" was released on the DVD Rolie Polie Olie: A Spookie Ookie Halloween and The Book Of Pooh: Just Say Boo![3] as a bonus feature. Besides this, 11 other episodes have been found in full, alongside clips of "Revealing Feelings."

On October 14th, 2019, it was confirmed that the show would be among the TV shows featured on Disney's new streaming service Disney+ which launches on November 12th, 2019.[4]

Possible Missing Episodes

For a brief time in late 1999 (while season 2 was premiering), three episode titles, “Let’s Eat Out”, “The Gift” and “Treasures” appeared in listings for the show. These titles weren’t used for any of the episodes shown in regular rotation, and none of the episodes on Disney+ have these titles.

According to the U.S. Copyright Database, however, there are gaps in the show’s production order where these titles would fit in. Specifically, the gaps appear in the first season, despite the titles only appearing during season 2’s run.

Based on the titles, it appears these were early versions of certain season two episodes. Further evidence of their existence comes from a clip shown in the opening for the first two seasons that isn’t from any of the regular episode and also doesn’t appear to have been filmed for the opening (see gallery below).

However, whether these rough versions of the more familiar season 2 storyline were actually aired is disputable. Firstly, there are conflicting sources in Newspapers.com about whether “The Gift” or “Unicornicopia” was the episode aired on 12/4/99. In addition to this, various sources on Newspapers.com claim that “The Gift” and “Treasures” aired on October 6 and 10 of 1999, respectively—-rather than “Unicornicopia” and “Tooth or Consequences” premiering on those dates, as the U.S. Copyright Database and Disney+ both say. So until a recording proving is found proving that the episodes were aired, it can be assumed that the inclusion of the titles was a misprint.

Episode List

See "possible missing episodes" for further information on episodes 6, 21 and 22.

On November 12th, 2019, Disney+ made the whole show available (aside from episodes 6, 21, and 22) on its streaming service on its launch day.[5]
