The Fight for the FoxBox is a 2003 half-hour-long TV special produced by 4Kids Entertainment for its flagship FoxBox (later known as 4KidsTV) block on Fox. An Intercontinuity Crossover, it aired on August 31 as a prime-time special to promote the block's programming slate for the 2003-04 season. Fox stations that passed on the block preempted the special for syndicated or local programming in its place, which may explain why 4Kids released a promotional DVD of the special distributed through various magazines.
Background[]
The special utilizes recycled clips and animation from the TV shows it features with an entirely new plot written around them and entirely new voice-overs. The various pieces of footage are sourced from Sonic X, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Kirby: Right Back At Ya!, Funky Cops, Cubix, Ultimate Muscle, and even the British-American series The Cramp Twins, which 4Kids had the American distribution rights to. Due to Tom Kenny and Kath Soucie being union voice actors based in LA, Marc Thompson and Veronica Taylor voiced the main characters from that show instead.
Cast[]
Notes[]
- Nicole Oliver's voice for Dorothy Cramp is retained in The Cramp Twins footage.
- Footage from Shaman King also appears on the Ninja Turtles' TV, but features no new voice-overs.
