Welcome to the Shoebox Zoo Wiki, an encyclopedia created to build an online database for all information related to the BBC-created television show, Shoebox Zoo. Shoebox Zoo was a show aired between 2005-2007, and was primarily aimed at children but had some adult themes too. Your help in making this wiki is much appreciated.

It is revealed that they are in fact alive, former humans turned into their present forms by the wizard Michael Scot for losing the Book of Forbidden Knowledge. Marnie is the Chosen One and given the task of locating the Book in order to restore the Zoo's humanity and end curses for several other people. Marnie is also hunted by Toledo the Shapeshifter, who seeks the Book in order to cover the world in darkness.
