- What do you do with your channel once Disney buys out the majority of your assets and Fox Kids is dissolved? You license the space out to 4Kids Productions for 4Kids TV and launch The FoxBox, of course!
Join Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara from the Spy Kids movie series for this special sneak preview of 2002's Saturday morning lineup featuring such shows as Kirby: Right Back At 'Ya!, Ultraman Tiga, Ultimate Muscle: The Kinnikuman Legacy (M.U.S.C.L.E.), Stargate Infinity and Fighting Foodons: Prepare for Battle.

"What villain's going to be scared of Kirby?"
Kirby: _So you have chosen death_
20 years and the memories are still "FOX-licious"!
The Fox Box always had some good cartoons inside
Old cartoons were way better.
@@brianodonnell4496 Then it degraded to 4Kids TV.
@@BokanProductions Kids' WB had Pokemon, Cubix and Yu-Gi-Oh.
But it wasn't as long-lived as Fox Kids. Can't say I blame the lack of interest in Saturday morning cartoons during the 2000s. I mean, Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network.
Bad Anime Dubs…..
Sometimes my friend and I would shout "what's inside the fox box!?" randomly. Other friends didn't know what we were talking about
Damn it’s hard to believe 20 years have passed already
depressing huh?
At least most of the shows that were under 4kids grasp... Escaped
@@Casvaleon Not really. It feels like 20 years for sure.
@@user-vi4xy1jw7e speak for yourself my broths
Amazing! You found the full block!
Goddamn, the Fox Box is still my favorite programming block of all time. At the time I didn’t even notice how the majority of this content was Japanese lol.
Does anyone have the blue fox box tape it comes with? It apparently has some lost media in it...
@@bluebaron6858 I just watched it on tv. Never saw the tape in real life.
Better than fox kids?
@@Mr.Nyongo for me, yeah. This was more unique. I also stil have nightmares from that live action Ninja Turtles show lol.
@@Mr.Nyongo no
1:41 This better be a GIF NOW.
Nope. Even if this is proved as kinda a meme.
8:00 4Kids used the "FoxBox" name for their Saturday morning block from Fox Sports' own scoring box graphics we normally during their NFL coverage & other sporting events on the network!
happy 20th anniversary foxbox!!! :3
YES! YES! YES!
Love how they didn't even try for Stargate Infinity. They practically skipped its' showcase to make way for the Spy Kids 2 clip
What? You think Stargate Infinity's not good enough to be part of the FoxBox
@@hisyoungmajesty They knew that Stargate Infinity was a bad show. Can't say I blame 4kids Entertainment.
@@superpan218 possibly because it was the only show produced by MGM and DIC Entertainment
@@hisyoungmajesty 4kids had nothing to do with this show, other than broadcast rights. They had to air it on the Fox Box because it was cheap and E/I-compliant.
9:18 "Our shields won't hold out much longer, and somebody's deodorant has already given up!"
LMAO
Wasn’t expecting you to upload this lol foxbox was a huge part of my childhood
I a lot of the ppl who are subbed to you for g4 content are probably 35+ but I’m 29 and when I was 9 years old foxbox and g4 was all I watched
i was 8 , and same. was obsessed with G4. what a fantastic time to grow up
yeah I'm 28 lol and also watched G4 shortly after the Fox Box. I originally loved X-Play for the skits/humour because I rarely got to play new games.
The loss of Fox Kids traumatized me
Hey, change is change, no matter how traumatized you are
All good things must come to a end....
I was so excited about all the new cartoons, until the 29:15 mark where I realized this was a complete replacement of Fox Kids. No more Digimon, Galidor, Medabots, even Power Rangers was gone.
I remembered they had shown previews of their new lineups before, and I thought this was the same, but it felt so weird that Fox Kids was just completely off the air. I remember being most excited for a Kirby TV show, but watching it that Saturday felt bittersweet, like my entire childhood was gone.
Maybe I was just being overdramatic, but with the switch happening just a year after 9/11 it felt like one of my biggest comforts had disappeared, since I didn't have cable like other kids. Every time the FoxBox jingle played during the commercials, it felt like a reminder of how different things were.
Omg I remember this one! Nostalgia!
Maybe you could help me. I've been searching all over do you happen to have a recording of the Last Day of FOX Kids?
Now, if Fox Kids didn't shut down, here's how the schedule should've looked during the 2002-2003 season:
WEEKDAYS (Monday-Friday):
*7:00 AM - Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century (E/I) (MON-THU)/Go For It! TV (E/I) (FRI)
*7:30 AM - Beyblade
*8:00 AM - The New Woody Woodpecker Show
*8:30 AM - Galidor: Defenders of the Outer Dimension
*3:00 PM - Braceface (E/I)
*3:30 PM - Power Rangers Wild Force
*4:00 PM - Digimon: Digital Monsters
*4:30 PM - Gadget and the Gadetinis (MON-THU)/Transformers Armada (FRI)
SATURDAYS:
*8:00 AM - Sabrina: The Animated Series (E/I)
*8:30 AM - Power Rangers Wild Force/Power Rangers Ninja Storm (Spring 2003)

*9:30 AM - Medabots
*10:00 AM - Shinzo
*10:30 AM - Beyblade
*11:00 AM - Totally Spies!
*11:30 AM - Transformers Armada
Thoughts?
That would be interesting. Keep in mind, Fox Family Worldwide was sold by Disney in 2001.
I've been looking all over for this! I remember seeing the last bit of it when I was 4 years old.
By the way, they didn't bother showing more of Stargate Infinity, because they knew the show would be bad. Can't say I blame them. I can see two reasons why this show aired on the Fox Box. It was cheap, and it was E/I compliant. 4kids Entertainment obviously had nothing to do with this show aside from broadcast rights.
Fox Box is still the best.
Please return, 4Kids and Fox Box for the sake of all fans and mine.
I still very much remember that brady bunch commercial.

I totally remember This, but I’m from Minneapolis and I thought FOX 29 WFTC and UPN 9 KMSP switched stations in 2001 or 2002, so When FOX Kids became The FoxBox, I had to switch to FOX 9 KMSP because it was No longer on UPN 29 WFTC.
@@nicksullivan4994 I think both stations in Twin Cities were swapped both affiliations 20 years ago.
There was also another FoxBox preview special - appropriately titled "The FoxBox Sneak Preview Show" - which aired as the last program on Fox Kids' final day on air (September 7, 2002).
Those Wendy’s classic doubles still don’t look like the advertisements lol
Omg finally found it!
3:23 Melee players in a nutshell
ultraman tiga is nice
man i used to love fighting food ons and kirby
Wow! What a rare find!
I didn't watch Foxbox but I can see why. They were scraping the barrel after losing all their stock to KidsWB
you wouldn't happen to have recorded all of the ultraman tiga 4kids dub airings, did you? i'm under the impression a handful of those are still "lost media"
I do not believe I have any recordings. Sorry.
@@newspooiechannel no worries, always worth asking :)
They will be up soon, but it's still a bummer the 2nd half that aired India could be lost media forwver since mill creek and Tsuburaya don't want to rerelease it.
All 23 dubs EPs that aired on Fox box have been found. I wish the last half would be released though
17 years later, Disney buys 20th Century FOX
The Loss of Fox Kids was so so traumatizing
When I was in high school about 21 years ago, I knew the transitition to Fox Kids to the FoxBox. This was in September 7, 2002.
The Block that killed Foxkids
0:42 Ta-da! It’s the fox box.
Around that time and 2003, Stargate Infinity used to be shown Monday mornings at 730.
Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd century on Tuesdays and Wednesdays mornings at 730
Archie’s Weird Mysteries on Thursdays and Fridays mornings at 730
All on Fox.
The price of that kfc is insane
I remember the transition from Fox Kids to Fox Box. In retrospect it was pretty bad, especially knowing now how much 4Kids butchered shows. But I was the right age to be excited about a Kirby show, and really enjoyed Ultaman Tiga and Ultimate Muscle.
This special never came on in my state of Georgia.
In Jul 18 2023, "The FoxBox is Not Edible".
but in 2024, You able to unlock and rewind inside The Foxbox.
I remember fox
Love spooie
Please ask Millcreek and Tsuburaya to fully rerelease the ultraman tiga dub!
“The Brady Bunch” reference @ 16:47-16:55

Thought Disney didn't start buying Fox till 2012 or so with Star Wars.
In 2001, Disney bought Saban Entertainment, which owned 1/2 of the Fox Kids block, along with either having produced or distributed almost all the content, as well as Fox Family Worldwide (The Fox Family Channel). In September 2002, Disney moved Power Rangers (Wild Force) over to ABC Kids mid-season and in 2002 launched their Saturday and Sunday morning blocks (consisting of mostly content from Saban's library) on the newly re-branded ABC Family Channel.
Between 2000-2001, most of the local Fox affiliates also began cutting back their weekday Fox Kids content to 2 hours, wiping out their morning blocks and pushing back their shows an hour earlier, from 2pm-4pm. The local Fox affiliates also voted to eliminate Fox Kids weekday blocks entirely by 2002 to devote more time to syndicated content and more local news coverage.
While the local affiliates felt the need to devote weekday content to their own programming, Saturday morning content would otherwise be devoted to paid programming/infomercials. So Fox decided to auction off the four-hour block from 8am-12pm. 4Kids put in a bid and won, launching the FoxBox in September 2002, which lasted through the end of the 2008 year (by that point having renamed themselves as 4Kids TV).
@@newspooiechannel Thankyou, very informative
@@newspooiechannel And in 2012, Disney bought Lucasfilm Ltd. and later in 2019, Disney also bought 20th Century-Fox completely and renamed 20th Century Studios.
@@newspooiechannel By 2004, the unnamed ABC Family action block which featured Power Rangers and other Saban content that aired on Weekend mornings ended up evolving into Jetix, where it also aired on Toon Disney on weekday evenings. In 2009, Jetix and Toon Disney merged to become Disney XD.
I don't think I've seen this.
Those bastids repurposed pop tarts sticks with bites
Get fox box at toys r us today! 😓
I remember watching this wondering where Fox Kids went.🥲
"What villain’s going to be scared of Kirby?"
Kirby: I’ll show you!
