Apple TV+ is set to premiere Shape Island, a stop-motion animation series for children and families that illustrates friendship can take many shapes.
The show debuts on Apple’s streaming service in mid-January.
Have fun learning on Shape Island
The Apple TV+ show is based on the internationally bestselling Shapes trilogy of books by Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen, who also co-created the TV series.
Here’s how Apple describes Shape Island:
This clever, funny and inspiring new stop-motion animated series from Apple TV+ takes place on a charming island and invites viewers to join serious Square, intrepid Circle and tricky Triangle on their silly adventures as they dig up some fun, search for answers and build on their friendship — all while learning how to navigate each other’s differences. “Shape Island” shows kids that friendship can take many shapes.
The animated series’ voice stars include Yvette Nicole Brown (Disenchanted), Harvey Guillen (What We Do in the Shadows), Scott Adsit (30 Rock) and Gideon Adlon (Blockers).
Shape Island premieres globally on January 20 on Apple TV+.
