Line 1: {{work}} [[File:Fox_Box_cover_(small).jpg\|frame\|The Fox Box lost. It was soon canceled.]] ''The Fight for the Fox Box'' was a 2003 half-hour-long TV special. At that time, [[4Kids! Entertainment]] was running a programming block known as the "Fox Box" (because it was broadcast on the [[~~Fox~~FOX\|Fox network]]). It was also an [[Intercontinuity Crossover]]. It's basically one long [[Enforced Plug]] for Fox Box shows on at that time. Basically, the story is that a mysterious [[The Voice\|voice]] informs the [[Big Bad\|bad guys]] of five TV shows ([[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003\|Shredder]], [[Kirby: ofRight ~~the~~Back ~~Stars~~at Ya!\|King Dedede & Escargoon]], Dr. <s>[[Sonic the Hedgehog\|Robotnik]]</s> [[Sonic X\|Eggman]], [[Ultimate Muscle\|Dial Bolic]], and [[Cubix Robots for Everyone\|Dr. K]]) that he has stolen the "Fox Box broadcast codes," and that the network can't go back on the air without the codes. He gives the codes, in pieces, to each of the five villains, and tells them to guard it well. Ace Anderson and Jack Kowalski, the Funky Cops, overhear this tirade on their car's CB radio. [[The Hero\|The heroes]] of each TV show also get wind of what's happening, and they set out to take the codes back. Relying mostly on recycled clips and animation from the TV shows it features, about the only thing new about it is the way the clips are edited together and the audio/dubbing by the original actors. (That is, assuming that it is mostly footage ripped and edited from the TV shows.) There is one scene with less-than-stellar animation where Funky Cops Ace and Jack [[Let Me Get This Straight...\|question]] [[Kinnikuman Nisei\|Meat]] on what he knows about the disappeared codes. He then proceeds to [[As You Know\|fill them in on what's been happening]] on [[Ultimate Muscle]] [[How We Got Here\|up to that point]]. Line 15: * '''[[Cubix Robots for Everyone]]''' * [[Funky Cops]] * '''[[Kirby: ofRight ~~the~~Back ~~Stars~~at Ya!\|Kirby - Right Back At Ya!]]''' * [[Shaman King]] ("Hey [[TMNT\|Mikey]]! Do you have that ''Shaman King'' [[Enforced Plug\|promo we taped]]?") - meaning, it doesn't directly relate at all to the plot. * '''[[Sonic X]]''' Line 22: As such, this half-hour special incorporates many tropes used within those shows. It has an IMDb [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0382031/ page] and can now be viewed on [http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=1F83AA8CB6CC8DE5 YouTube]. There's also an [http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-107026456.html article]{{Dead link}} that details a press release by 4Kids that explains other details about the release and broadcast of this special. One last note: If you'd like to reexperience some of what the original "SaveTheFoxBox" website was like, look here: ~~http~~https://web.archive.org/web/20040828191731/http://savethefoxbox.com/ The five codes are: 9HT6A (from Dr. Eggman), B7Z51 (From King Dedede), MM881 (from Dialbolic), L1415G (from Dr. K), and 5E3KZ (from Shredder).
