    Weird Way To Promote A New Season

    When the Fox Box replaced Fox Kids back in the fall of 2002, it did a good job bringing in some new hits for Saturday Morning. As it was a partnership between Fox Network and 4Kids, a company who back then was well known for their dub of the Pokémon anime as well as Yu-Gi-Oh! On Kids WB!, the company wasted no time arranging a first year of hit anime dubs like Ultimate Muscle, Kirby Right Back At Ya, Fighting Foodons, and the one original show not an anime localized the 2003 incarnation of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (which was added later, but was a good addition), as well as some stinkers like the dub of Ultraman Tiga (which tried to turn a serious live-action toku show into a comedy) and Stargate Infinity (which made by DiC, a company who at this point, was running low on steam). With the first season ending with repeats of some these shows alongside picked up repeats of the Back To The Future cartoon and WMAC Masters (two shows from the 1990's that had long ended), the Fox Bo was gearing up for a good 2003 season, returning the shows that worked or have not ended yet along with some new shows, and to promote them, 4Kids made this special promo that also served as way for kids to get in on the action.

    So, for the plot of this, a mysterious mastermind has brought together five villains (King Dedede,Shredder, Dialbolical, from the three shows carried over, as well as Dr. Eggman, who will appear in Sonic X, and Dr. K, the villain of Cubix: Robots for Everyone (which aired on Kids WB!, but would start airing repeats on the Fox Box). The mysterious mastermind gets them to agree to a plot to take down the Fox Box, which airs heroes beating them, and by a secret code, they will reboot the channel with them in charge. Soon, heroes old and new join the battle to gather the five codes, which kids will have to memorize and put into a defunct website (as well as one that ran on Flash, which ended support, so unless someone can find a way to emulate the site, the codes are now useless).

    TBH, this is a weird, yet creative way to promote the Fall 2003 line up for the Fox Box. Other than the four shows primarily used for the plot, Funky Cops is also used a main show (and even has a well edited scene where Meat from Ultimate Muscle is actually in the show in question, which is the only scene where characters from two different shows actually meet, which makes this disappointing, as the show is basically clips from the shows with new voicework as well as previews. While it was enjoyable when I was a teenager, seeing this again, I can see this for the cheaply made attempt to build hype it has served.

    • Quotes

      Shredder: [on the briefing screens where the antagonists videoconference] The Turtles may have the code, but we have The Turtles! There should not be any more problems.

      Dr. Eggman: I believe Sonic may have discovered my code, too.

      The Voice: I hope the rest of you had better luck!

      Dr. K: Not exactly. Cubix sort of got my code.

      Dialbolic: Kid Muscle may have lucked out and gotten the code, but I wouldn't say this is the final call.

      King Dedede: Don't blame me! It's Escargoon's fault! He was in charge of hidin' my part of the code.

      Escargoon: What's the big deal? The code's still in five different pieces, right? Nobody'll ever put 'em together!

      The Voice: You fool! Donatello set up a website called SaveTheFoxBox.com! If anyone saw all the parts of the code, they could enter it there and restore the network!

      [the Voice's visualization fades away as the voice itself changes to reveal the speaker as Wayne Cramp. His voice is no longer distorted]

      Wayne Cramp: And that would make me mad at you! And you don't wanna make me mad, 'cuz when I get mad, that's when I get even!

      Dorothy Cramp: [knocking on his bedroom door] Wayne Cramp! What are you doing?

      Wayne Cramp: Uh, nothing Mother! Just plotting to destroy the Fox Box! Ha ha ha ha ha!

      Dorothy Cramp: If you see your brother, send him down. And don't you be late!

      Wayne Cramp: I'll be there for sure!

      [to himself]

      Wayne Cramp: Just tying up some loose ends...

      Lucien Cramp: [with his back tied to a skateboard] I won't let you get away with this!

      Wayne Cramp: The only one getting away is you!

      Lucien Cramp: [he starts sliding headfirst down the stairs] Aaah!

      Wayne Cramp: Ha ha ha ha! Bye, girl-pants! Ha ha ha ha ha!

      [in his altered "Voice" voice]

      Wayne Cramp: The Fox Box is mine! Aah ha ha ha ha ha!
