4Kids Entertainment was a pioneer in localizing kid's anime to English speaking audiences. Despite not making much of their content library on their own, 4KIDS wanted to build their brand up and wanted their image to be associated with its shows! So they did the noble thing and made a "crossover" episode using recycled footage of their shows! It's strange!

Let's take a look at 4Kids' attempt at a crossover episode! - Ігри
Yo! Do me a favor and give this video some like & comment love!

Don't tell me what to do.
You look like Mitchel from Modern Family
Why didn't you think a fan sent you this CD?

He got it when he was 7 if I heard correctly.
"if i miss this week's Kirby, heads are gonna roll"
big mood
Raphael knows all the Kirby lore.
His favorite Copy Ability is obviously Ninja; but he is a bit upset his favorite mid-boss, Rolling Turtle hasn't been in another Kirby game since Kirby's Adventure.
@@JBX9001 The replaced him with an elephant in Nightmare in Dream Land, WTF!?
Raphael is my spirit animal.
Imagine Raph watching the Game Theory on Kirby.
@Metaknee lol
This must have honestly been one of the hardest crossovers to do given the nature of each of these shows. People give 4Kids a lot of flack, but honestly this kind of thing wouldn't be possible without them.
It has been years and some people still won't get over 4Kids. It's kinda sad. The company wasn't perfect, but it introduced us to a lot of stuff.
Yeah, I honestly kind of miss them.
Team APS that’s not a good thing though. I’d rather have no crossover than a shitty one with anime characters butchered. People had every right to give 4Kids the flack it got with asinine marketing ploys like this
@@carlbloke8797 it's not canon to anything. You could just not watch it.

"Please stand for the 4kids national anthem "
And they say Infinity War is the most ambitious crossover yet
YES
NOOOOOOOOOOO

The new version of the 4Kids National is better than the old one.
Kirby met Sonic before Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
And so did Captain Falcon.

And fought him…before Super Smash Bros Brawl
4kids: Censors anything remotely violent

Well the 2003 TMNT was probably their one exception to their sensors. That show got a way with a lot
@@michaelsegal7443 so is Shaman King, Ultimate Muscle, and I guess Fighting Foodons, sides for edits of blood
They censor anime
Homemade violence? thats A-OK!
knd and billy and mandy crossover was such a good one

Plus the bonus crossover title cards on the credits too!
Wait
Didn't see it :3
Opinion: The fox box was what started anime abridged series on UA-cam.

Fact: Ghost Stories Dub is an official abridged series
WHAT

Basically FOX made another UA-cam Poop, they already did one with the Digimon Movie.
@R.J. the Seeker source for the Digimon?
What
But the digimon movie is good
Deep Weeb Have you forgotten that FOX did not made the FOXbox 4kids did. And Digimon was not done by 4kids.
@Rachel the Seeker yeep XD
consider:
the fox box has the same energy and production value of a YTP
More like an abridged series
Yes

Also, what makes the "Wayne Cramp is behind it all" twist hilarious in this is that it has likely a 4Kids VA TRYING TO IMPERSONATE TOM KENNY.
It was, Cramp Twins was recorded in California and Canada so 4Kids did not have access to the voice actors since those are union actors
@@MathieuLeblanc1991 and it aired on cartoon network first
Yep. Wayne was dubbed by Marc Thompson (in lieu of Tom Kenny) while Lucian was dubbed by Veronica Taylor (in lieu Kath Soucie)

Didn't you used to be a doctor or something?
Comic Drake Cubix was awesome as a kid. Animation didn’t age well but it was really good for some reason. I’m still upset over how it ended so anticlimactically though. They ended it like it was just another episode. I assume it got canceled.
I loved Cubix it was my most liked series when i was young ... the 3d did not age well i hope someone will make an OVA for it updating everything to 2019 (2020)

Awww, babby Billiam thought his cartoons were going away. That's so cute.
The greatest crossover since Infinity War, and Smash Bros., and DragonballxOne Piece, and..
The Lilo and Stitch crossovers with Recess, Kim Possible and Proud Family were also great. Still need to see the Jake Long crossover episode. Speaking of Lilo and Stitch That's a awesome Stitch Profile pic.

Yup
And then your closest relative would have to go fight in a tournament to free you from said card, along with their best friend who is in the tournament for the money so they can pay for their sibling’s eye surgery. But watch out for said closest relative’s rival! The rival will probably get in your relative’s way, except they themselves had a sibling who they are trying to save, because said sibling ALSO got stuck in a card!

It was the early 2000s, things were different.
I remember getting a free 4kids TV DVD from Toys ‘R’ Us back in the late to mid 2000’s that was pretty much about Michelangelo from TMNT (the 2009’s version) and Bloom from Winx Club introducing shows that aired on 4Kids TV at the time.
You forgot about the time when CasuallyExplained and YouSuckatCooking collaborated. *That* was the greatest anime crossover.

HOLY SHIT I REMEMBER THIS. I STILL HAVE IT ON DVD
“If I miss this week’s Kirby, heads are gonna roll”
Nowadays for Nintendo fans is "If I miss this seasons splatfest, blood is going to splatter everywhere."
I have to give it to 4Kids for trying to make their own type of animated crossover. Though that's not really saying much, most of what they did ended up very janky.
4Kids did do an old & new TMNT Crossover called Turtles Forever (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtles_Forever). Worth a watch.
I give them a B- minus for effort, and a D for execution.
I know these epic program blocks don't look like much when you're an adult but without having 4KIDS and Toonami around as a kid well maybe I wouldn't have ever found the incredible world of anime Pokemon Yugioh Beyblade Naruto One Piece and Dragon Ball all helped me fall in love with these amazing stories. A whole generation of anime and manga fans owes everything to 4Kids and Toonami for helping them find their beginning.
Toonami yes, but 4kids no
I used to watch that DVD over and over as a kid. I said "heads are going to roll" in sync with Raphael while watching this with my girlfriend and it freaked her out. Thanks for reminding me of something I haven't thought about since the age of 9, my dude.
I remember some of the series like Sonic X, TMNT 2003 and Ultimate Muscle but it's ashame they're not in complete DVD Collections because that would bring back the childhood memories.
Kerry Gligorovic, 4Kids will return.
I remember when apple cinnamon doing something like this. Where they threatening to discontinue the cereal
@JadeRoseofChaos yeah and they had kids go to the factory and steal papers or something.
0:18 It's great to find another fan of munchies here , that is like my all time favorite snack
This was the best crossover in the history of crossover. Better then infinity war
Kid me loved 4kids tv for introducing me to so many shows as a kid and giving older me encouragement to look them up only to realize they left out a lot .
Half of me misses Saturday morning cartoons the other half knows I wouldn't wake up for them when I can binge watch them on vrv now
Hearing Raph threatening to conk some heads in fear of missing an episode of Kirby was worth this special crossover XD
I burst into laughter hearing Raphael say “ If I miss this week’s Kirby, heads are gonna roll! “
Like Kirby’s just a cute little pink ball wHAt
Who wants this reanimated
....just me? Okay.
Sonic better be a different incarnation of Sanic in every single part no matter how much collaboration between parts
MAKE IT HAPPEN!
I remember getting the DVD for "Fight for the Fox Box" as part of an issue of Shonen Jump that came to me in the mail. It was pretty entertaining in a slightly lame way, especially in how the whole premise of the block's villains trying to destroy the local station's Saturday morning lineup led to some supremely odd dialogue exchanges and segues. Really, the only the thing I was disappointed by was that the big reward for going through with the ARG attached to the special was just a Kirby coloring page. One of my first true "meh" moments. At least the preview for Sonic X kicked all kinds of butt...before I came to realize that would be literally just the first five minutes of what was actually an uneven slice-of-life series.
Finally a review of this bizarre thing.
Cramp Twins voice actors were replaced by nonunion voice actors, 4Kids were nonunion.
Actually the actors in this were union soooooo spongebob is still there
@@RockmanX-io2dr Tom Kenny?
@@Tacom4ster mhm
Good point, but this crossover is official, a production can't be unofficial if it's made in an official studio, although currently the studio is closed. Anyway, you've got to make it from your home if you want your production to be unofficial and then upload it for links, for example: UA-cam.
I remember cubix looking alot better as a kid
Ramirez. G cubix had a Mario kart style game on PS1 too! It was so ugly, but as a kid fun
Not me.
Surprised I never got the Fox Box DVD. I had gotten the Fox Kids magazine in the mail till it ended
CUBIX!!! I have wondered forever what that show was called!
I loved that show growing up anx it's them song is amazing and will never leave your head once you hear it XD
and it actual came back to CW4kids and the Vortex years after it ended but sadly they used it as there first show so it was on like at 6am.
@@superaustin6383That's awesome! I remember getting the toys and renting the game from Blockbuster.
I actually caught this promo when it first aired on the Fox Box. I believe my brother also taped it. It was always fun seeing every cartoon and anime that you watch or will potentially watch (Sonic X and TMNT 03 hadn't aired yet in the initial airing of this promo) interacting with each other even if its horribly edited footage.
sad to hear that you think winx are french since it's one of the most exported Italian cartoons
Without 4kids a lot of us wouldn't even know what Anime was as a kid. So thank you 4kids.
Lol. I love how every video you're like "LOOK MILLENIALS CHILL TF OUT. DON'T @ ME!!!" This dude just trying to make an entertaining video about old whacky 2000's stuff and people get weirdly defensive about it. Your videos are awesome. Love it.
Winx club, a french sailor moon? It’s Italian put some respect on my queen Stella
Isn't Stella the Princess of the Sun and Moon?
smh these fools think it's french
Bootlegg version of sailor moon and i watch the show it was my sistere favorit
@@noaholsson5379 It isn't very much like Sailor Moon lmao
"If I miss this week's Kirby
, heads are gonna roll"
quote of the year
2:02 but Winx are Italian, not French
2:58 they actually referenced this in the film when Dedede said, “It ain’t like we gonna go mailing’ out a whole heap of dvds tellin’ folks bout the whole dang scheme!”
I don’t care what anyone says but this little crossover was what introduced me to the fox box and introduced a lot of my favorite shows on there. Hell, on the dvd they’re had an extras option where they promoted sonic heroes and that’s when I first learned about it lol.
It’s just nostalgic to me.
I remember this, good thing there's videos of this crossover and wasn't only my imagination. They really set the stage for the future UA-cam abridge boom of the mid 2000s.
We're in the age range where you're on the younger end of the target audience for most of the throwback content you discuss and I'm on the older end.
I love watching your videos because when you talk about things like being excited for the FoxBox DVD, it makes me think back to my jaded 12 year old self's reaction to receiving it in the mail. It's very rare that I subscribe, like, or even comment on UA-cam posts... but you deserve the bump in metrics. Please keep making content!
To be fair most UA-cam channels don’t do those things either
HOLY SHIT I WATCHED THIS ALL THE TIME AND IT'S BEEN INGRAINED IN MY MEMORY ALL ALONG BUT I NEVER KNEW WHAT IT WAS CALLED ANYMORE THANK YOU!
Damn man, I still have the DVD disk for this somewhere. I was probably about 6 or 7 when this came out and I was excited for it simply because Sonic X and TMNT were on it. I don't really remember anything about it, but seeing Raphael gush about Kirby is hilarious today.
Thanks for bringing back memories!
Does Raphael like Nintendo? Does he watch SMG4 on youtube?
Yeah, when it came to the writing and dubwork, 4kids was a very decent dubbing company, all things considered. The company’s overuse of censorship is actually what made the company fail overall (and the shady management of the TV rights for Yugioh! didn’t help either.).
All things considered, they were actually subpar.
What is funny is that their take on TMNT was probably one of the best TMNT cartoons ever made until they went into the future. It was not as censored as their Anime shows and it had actual humans as Foot Clan grunts instead of robots. I sometimes felt that they censored the Anime to such a degree in order to gain copyright over the works as derivative content. Cause while I understand toning down the sexuality and violence to a certain extent things like censoring Death was bizarre to me. I learned about death when I was like 4 years old so death should not be something to be censored at all. I understand graphic violence and overtly sexuality but death is something that is ever present.
@@Epsilonsama It wasn't exactly theirs though. They didn't make it.
Thanks for respecting my opinion on 4Kids.
My girlfriend is 9 years older than me, so you could say I control the fox box
I recall my friend who really loved Kirby had this on VHS! And... that's about all I remembered.
I love the part when King Dedede calls Dr. Eggman a “hard-boiled egg.”
And people said Infinity War was the most ambitious crossover
An interesting advertising technique. And its from "4Kids", the same distributors who gang rape anime in so many ways. Personally I was introduced to anime through TV spots on the SyFy Channel back in the 90's, along with reruns of "Speed Racer" on Cartoon Network, and the English dub of "Sailor Moon" when it was broadcast on "UPN", and then Toonami. Wow, my exposure to anime was pretty epic.
It's interesting how persons keep claiming that we'd never be introduced to anime without 4Kids, but Saban, FUNimation, and many others were already introducing children to anime.
In Poland its called Sci Fi,the old International name.
I remember Funky Cops had an episode about Alcatraz that got meta as hell
Man I can't count the number of times when I've been watching your videos and you mention some show that I have not thought about in 15 years but the very mention of its name immediately brings back hours and hours of memories. Nostalgia king
Ayy Xiaolin Showdown was my shiiiit when I was like 13 lol
I would to see you cover LakeFepard’s Sonic Fan Game Trilogy like Before the Sequel, After the Sequel, and Chrono Adventure. Hell I would love to see you review Kirby Right Back At Ya!
OMG, thank you for this. I've always had scattered memories of this special and never knew what it was. I am now going to reimburse myself in some classic shows
Chris: Yay! A crossover always brings out the best in each show! It certainly doesn't smack of desperation. The priorities are always creative and not driven by marketing...
Stewie: Okay, that's enough.
So Basically... This was an ARG, Before that Even Existed...? It's actually pretty cool if that's going to be the Case. :3
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it was the blare witch project which started the trend.
@@jaded151 So... It's back in 1999 when ARG's became a Thing! Cool! :3
You forgot "IS WEIRD!"
i had this dvd too. it was so obvious they re-used animation throughout. seeing the limited interactions between the characters was... weird, but I was already a fan of many of the shows anyways. I Liked the super brawl weekend commercials though I hated that kirby was absent for the 2nd one, and tied twice. These were weird but I liked them more than I disliked them. This takes me back
Thank you, I seen this one when I was like 5, and it has been on my mind ever sence but never new what it was or how to find it
Dang if only we had succeeded to save the 4kids shows
YES! YES! YES!
TMNT 2003 was basically the only original from scratch thing 4Kids ever did
They didn't though. They were responsible for providing voice actors. They didn't provide writing or animation. However, I suspect there are responsible for the show's lack of blood. Ex. Donnie received a gash in one episode but it look like he just knicked his leg.
@@SirBlackReeds plus, u know, the Same as it never was episode where all the turtles except Donnie were killed on screen lol
I honestly think that episode was partially to blame for all the writers etc... getting fired and we ended up with the dumbed down and more childish Fast Forward and Back to the Sewers seasons.
TMNT 2k3 was a more faithful adaptation of the mirage comics than the 80s cartoon (or as faithful as it could get and still be kid friendly)
Fun fact: the "fox box" is now the name of the computer given to broadcasting teams responsible for fox sports broadcasts. It contains all of the graphics and transitions that are used for every broadcast, and there are hundreds if not thousands around the country, and they're used in everything from nfl games to division II hockey, everything aired on fox uses a "fox box"
I normally skip ads but your VRV ad segway was so clever I had too
I actually have this disc, I remember my elementary teacher gave this to me for something 😂
Weren't the Fox Box and Kids WB different things? I remember flipping between the two every morning to watch Kirby and Viewtiful Joe until the became the wb for kids.
Ultimate Muscle was a show? I just remember seeing the GC box.
And using one of the character models to represent myself online before.
the most ambitious crossover ever is now Billiam using this video about an ad with ads in it to advertise VRV
Munchies are in fact the greatest crossover ever.
Jimmy timmy power hour is the best crossover
Great episode as always.
Totally forgot about shamanking!!! I loved that show, sadly here, in New Zealand , the anime never showed the last half of the tournament thing with the big red thing that ate the other spirits.
Your transition into the VRV plug made me laugh so hard I started coughing.
Winx was Italian, not French
What was up with that Cramp twins voice? That is not what I remember for that show? Did the UK/Ireland get a different voice cast?
I'm assuming someone from 4Kids filled in for Tom Kenny.
I've spent years trying to find this goddamn DVD, I use to watch it a lot as a kid but I completely forgot the name of it. After all these years I guess by luck I stumbled across your across your channel, so I thank you for revieing this
I remember getting that in the mail, but my family hadn't owned a dvd player at the time. I cried for about a week thinking they were really gonna shut down the network.
I was stupid as a kid, dont judge.

Love your content! So much great nostalgia
It is now confirmed that Michaleongello likes kirby
*Raphael
How would you feel about a Digimon series by Gendy Tartakovsky? Especially if it was using characters from V-Tamer, Adventure, 02, and Tamers but put them in a new setting so it wasn’t just a straight remake of their stories like for example if Tai had both Veedramon (Maybe SnowAgumon is his rookie form) and Agumon as his partners, Neo Saiba (From V-Tamer) was the Digimon Emperor with Hackmon as his partner but Ken and Wormmon still appear and are both foils to them, what would possibly happen if Impmon was Jeri’s partner instead of Leomon (Impmon and Jeri would’ve biomerged into BeelStarmon), etc.?
i could dig it.
That could either be really good or really bad. He's not a miracle worker.
That was the funniest transition to a sponsorship I have ever seen. Well done 😂
I've had a CD of this since 2nd grade. Must've seen it like a hundred times on my crt tv. Its just sitting in my garage now.
