Toy-Box is a Danish pop group formed in the 1990s. It consists of two members, both vocalists: Anila Mirza and Amir El-Falaki. Anila was born 8 October 1974 in Hillerød, Denmark to an Indonesian family. Amir was born 12 August 1973 in Copenhagen, Denmark. In 1999, they had some success in the Scandinavian music charts with a bubblegum pop song from their album Fantastic, named Tarzan & Jane.

Toy-Box's first album, Fantastic, included the hits The Sailor Song, Best Friend, Super-Duper-Man, Teddy-Bear and Tarzan & Jane. It was released in September, 1999 and followed in 2001 by a second album, Toyride, which included fan-favourite songs Www.girl, Prince of Arabia and Wizard of Oz.

The group's break-up has not been officially announced. However, rumours have circulated that Amir is either working as a dance teacher or is planning a solo career. Anila has changed her name to Aneela and begun a solo career. When asked about another Toy-Box release, Aneela said, "I don't know, anything's possible."

Toy-Box are often compared to their fellow Scandinavian band Aqua, and due to their rise to success after Aqua, are often considered to be a "copy" of Aqua. Their song "Tarzan and Jane" is often mis-credited to Aqua, as is "Best Friend", due to the huge likenesses between the vocals of Anila and Lene Nystrøm Rasted, and Amir and René Dif. Toy-Box are occasionally mis-credited with the song "Butterfly" by Smile.dk largely due to distributions of the song on peer-to-peer networks being tagged as by the group.
