Premise

The series centers around Julius Jr., an ape with a penchant for invention. Together with his friends, Worry Bear, Sheree, Clancy, and Ping, they build a playhouse out of a simple cardboard box. But when they walk inside, to their surprise and delight, they discover that ordinary objects magically come to life and amazing adventures are just a door away.

At the end of each episode, an original song is featured. The song shows highlights from the shown episode.

Cast and characters

Main
  • Julius Jr. (voiced by E.G. Daily) – The protagonist of the series. He is simply called "Julius" on most occasions, a young chimp and an aspiring inventor who loves to create gadgets to help his friends. He resides in "the box" where he has his own workshop. His catchphrase is "The best inventions are the ones that help your friends!" Although he is an ape, he does not find bananas delicious and instead prefers peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
  • Clancy (voiced by Julie Lemieux) – A short giraffe who resides in the box along with Julius and his friends. Clancy is competitive and often wants to be the best at anything. But he can be a bit impatient at times. His head is larger than the rest of his body. His musical instruments are a hammond organ, and on rare occasions a saxophone.
  • Sheree (voiced by Athena Karkanis) – A light blue raccoon who resides in the box along with Julius and his friends. Sheree is girly, and loves to bake cupcakes and other desserts. She also loves anything sparkly, and has a great sense of fashion. Only she and Julius wear clothes.
  • Worry Bear (voiced by Benjamin Israel) – A bear who resides in the box along with Julius and his friends. He "lives up to his name," as he worries about many different things. Because of this, he often exercises caution when engaging in an activity. He is the only male band member to be voiced by an actor. He has a sock ape named Rocky. His musical instrument is a set of drums.
  • Ping (voiced by Steph Lynn Robinson) – Ping is a squeaky-voiced panda cub who resides in "the box" along with Julius and her friends. She is very outgoing, cheerful, bubbly, giggly, and playful just like all kids and children. Unfortunately, due to her age, she is not very independent. Worry Bear is her cousin. Her musical instrument is a tambourine.
  • Alexander Graham Doorbell (voiced by Rob Tinkler) – The talking door to Julius's workshop in the box. He wears a pair of thick-rimmed glasses and has a white moustache. His catchphrase is "Whoa!" (which he says every time he is opened).
  • Tool Box-a-Lot (voiced by James Kee) – Julius's robotic toolbox who carries some of Julius's inventions along with him on journeys inside the hall of doors.
  • Chachi (voiced by Steph Lynn Robinson) – A chihuahua who is a constant companion for everyone in "the box"; they play fetch and teach him tricks. Chachi loves to play dress-up and he is a great model who adores having his picture taken.

Others
  • Shaka Brah Yeti (voiced by Rob Tinkler) – A snowboarding yeti who resides in "Icelaska," which is located in "the hall of doors."
  • Sylvia and Gloria – Two caterpillars that reside in "Bugswana," which is located in "the hall of doors."
  • Diamondbeard – A gorilla pirate who resides on Seashelly Island. He has tiny diamonds embedded on his beard as his name implies. He also has a domineering mother who can be heard speaking but isn't seen.
  • The Wandering Wardrobe – An animated closet that contains different attires for Sheree and her friends.
  • Bob – The giggling red beagle who operates the carnival.
  • Sharky – Diamondbeard's nephew.
  • Nadia – A squid who repairs machines. She enjoys working a lot even if it means very few rest times.
  • Rock Sock 3000 – A robot resembling a larger version of Worry Bear's doll. Julius can program it for various purposes, although it also has a tendency to go haywire.
  • Dez – A shy dragon with a plaid blue color. He's quite socially close to Ping. He is also the pet of a red magician.
  • Brewster – The rooster who runs the farm.
