"Out of the Box" is the first segment of the second episode of the Disney Junior series Doc McStuffins, which premiered on March 23, 2012.
Summary[]
Little Jack, a jack in the box, can't pop, but he's scared of getting a check-up, so his dad, Big Jack, goes first.
Recap[]
While Doc and Emmie are taking items out of Doc's toy chest, they stop to pull out a Jack-in-the-box. Doc shows Emmie how it works and she then goes on to show her the slightly smaller box, but nothing happens! The small jack takes a peak over the edge and hides inside the box again. Doc comments that this is strange, since it usually always pops up like Big Jack. After Emmie leaves, Doc takes Little Jack, Big Jack, Lambie, and Stuffy to the clinic to give Little Jack a check-up.
Inside the clinic, Little Jack is nervous about having a check-up, but Big Jack, Doc, and the rest of the toys are all supportive, with Doc allowing him to have a sticker when he is done. Big Jack even volunteers to have a check-up before Little Jack, to show him that check-ups aren't scary.
After Big Jack's check-up is done, Doc begins her examination on Little Jack. Everything looks good, until she opens up his box, and notices that his clothes are stuck in the gears of the music box. As such, she diagnoses him with "Can't-pop-itis", meaning that the clothes caught in his gears are preventing him from popping out of his box. Once Doc gets him unstuck, Little Jack is able to pop again! Little Jack is glad that check-ups aren't scary, and is happy he can pop again. With his "Can't-pop-itis" cured and check-up over, Doc gives him a sticker, and Little Jack asks to be taken to Emmie, who is delighted that he works, as the two continue playing with him .

- [knock on door]
- Dr. McStuffins: Hi, girls.
- Doc: How was work, mom? Did you have any cool patients?
- Dr. McStuffins: Nothing too interesting. Just a few colds--oh! And a sprained finger. How was your day?
- Doc: Good. I have a really interesting patient.
- Stuffy: A tiara? Really? May I remind you I am a dragon. Dragons and tiaras don't go together. It's a big no-no.

- Big Jack: Are you, Little Jack?
- Little Jack: I've never had one before.
- Doc: It's OK. Everyone gets a little scared.
- Chilly: Some of us get a lot scared--ha--like me. I'm talking about me.
- Doc: But I promise it won't hurt. In fact, I'm here to help you feel better.
- Chilly: Oh, no! Not can't-pop-itis. Can I get it? Is it contagious? Ooh! It sounds contagious.
- Doc: Chilly, if you don't have anything on you that pops, how can you get can't-pop-itis?
- Chilly: Oh, good point, Doc. Whew! That was a close one.
