What's Inside the Fox Box!? 4Kids Entertainment Launches An All-New Kind of Kids Broadcast Network Starting September 14, 2002


http://news.toonzone.net/images/foxbox.jpg NEW YORK--(ENTERTAINMENT WIRE)--May 14, 2002--Beginning September 14, a new Saturday morning kids network takes to the television airwaves.

What's also inside the FOX BOX is an unprecedented commitment to original programming ... And all this is for Saturday mornings only -- making each Saturday on the FOX BOX a TV event that kids can't miss!

Supporting the launch of FOX BOX is a comprehensive, multi-million-dollar marketing campaign that combines on-air spots on broadcast and cable television, a FOX BOX direct-giveaway to be distributed to kids nationwide and a range of tune-in sweepstakes promotions.

FOX BOX Series Descriptions:


· 8:00AM -- STARGATE INFINITY

Action meets education in an animated series based on MGM's
successful sci-fi movie and television franchise "Stargate." A portal
to the far reaches of the universe, Stargate is trespassed by a
mysterious creature escaping a sinister alien race. Now, Stargate
Command must get the beguiling Draga back to her home planet while evading capture by sinister alien soldiers as well as bounty hunters from Earth. Fully compliant with the FCC Children's Television Act, STARGATE INFINITY reunites the team responsible for such acclaimed educational programming as the multi award-winning "Captain Planet" and "Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego?," the first Emmy award-winning FCC friendly series.


· 8:30AM -- ULTRAMAN TIGA

Everyone has a favorite superhero. But sometimes, when the going gets tough, "super's" just not enough. And that's when you need "ultra" -- as in Ultraman -- the most popular action hero in Japan for over three decades. Now, the FOX BOX brings this proven ratings winner to America in all-new adventures featuring the giant-sized Ultraman and the Global Unlimited Task Squad (GUTS), a team of super peacekeepers who defend Earth from evil creatures of all shapes and sizes. But even GUTS' advanced weapons and futuristic technology are useless against a new breed of mega-monsters threatening mankind in the year 2049. That's when one of the GUTS team transforms from his
human identity into Ultraman to save the day!


· 9:00AM -- KIRBY

Making his broadcast debut is one of Nintendo's most popular
characters ever, the video game superstar KIRBY, on the heels of 15 hits -- including the popular Super Smash Bros. Melee(TM) for Nintendo GameCube(TM). On a dark day in Dream Land, a spacecraft falls from the sky. Inside is a pink, round creature named Kirby. Could this possibly be the legendary hero from the stars here to battle the strange creatures that have suddenly appeared? The villagers sure hope so! Little do they know that Kirby is actually the last of the great Warpstar heroes, and it's his destiny to thwart a much more sinister force working his will through King Dedede. How can the little pink powerhouse stop them? By using his unique copy ability, Kirby takes in his opponent's attacks and gives them back a taste of their own
medicine. This distinctive power is the inspiration behind the show's tagline: "KIRBY -- RIGHT BACK AT YA!"


· 9:30AM -- KINNIKUMAN: ULTIMATE MUSCLE

Nothing captures the attention of kids quite like wrestling -- and
KINNIKUMAN: ULTIMATE MUSCLE is wrestling at its most radical! KINNIKUMAN: ULTIMATE MUSCLE pits the powerful but cowardly Kinnikuman in an intergalactic SLAM-A-RAMA of fast-paced excitement and far-out fun. With earth threatened by a sinister and oh-so-muscular band of space-baddies, an interplanetary cry for help goes out for a hero to fight off these ne'er do-wells. Reluctantly and accidentally answering the call: Kinnikuman, who must somehow find the courage to compete in a wrestling tournament like none before. In the other corner: hundreds of the most diverse and powerful super-wrestlers that the cosmos hasto offer. Oh, yeah, the fate of the universe is at stake, of course! Only one outcome's for sure: KINNIKUMAN: ULTIMATE MUSCLE will turn up the action and bring on the laughs.


· 10:00AM -- TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES

The billion-dollar phenomenon of the late 80's-early 90's returns
first quarter 2003 ... but no one's ever seen TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES (TMNT) animated action like this. Meet the Supreme Green Fightin' Machine in an all-new way! Accidentally mutated by strange glowing green ooze in the sewers of New York City, trained to become masters of the martial arts, the TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES are ready to do battle with the crazed Shredder and a legion of formidable foes. But if you think you know the TMNT story -- think again! Incredible martial arts action, laugh out loud humor and the coolest reptiles you're ever going to meet! It's a whole new spin on a television classic. Get ready for the phenomenon to return ... get ready for TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES!


· 11:30AM -- FOOD FEUD

It's French fries vs. pizza! Spaghetti and meatballs vs. peanut
butter and jelly! Pork fried rice vs. chicken chow mein! We're talking Rude Food With Attitude! FOOD FEUD is the wackiest comedy adventure ever. It all starts when the secret art of culinary combat is developed. Foods transform into monsters, and they do battle for more than just good Zagat ratings. But when the world's greatest chefs are kidnapped by the evil Don Cook, a young apprentice sets off to rescue his father by whipping up some kitchen creations of his own. A tasty action adventure with more than a dash of humor and suspense, FOOD FEUD is the perfect recipe -- for fun and outrageousness! Kids -- you'll never look at food the same way again. And next time Mom says to finish your dinner, you'd better listen -- before it finishes you

[czyznyck99]

Wasn't there a rumor that these guys were going to air a new Perfect Dark series, based of of the video game? I would definately see that.

Later.

[Pilmedium]

Will this air on the Fox network or a different channel? Just wondering. :confused:

The same Fox channel on which Power Rangers and Digimon air now.

Come Sept. 14, they'll be somewhere else.

The Fox network is getting out of the kids TV business. The four-hour time block is being leased to another company, which is going to run its own shows (Ultraman Tiga, Kirby, Kinnikuman, and new Ninja Turtles next year).

We just learned today that new episodes of PRWF, Medabots and Galidor will be moving to ABC Family.

[RZetlin]

By this fall Power Rangers and Digimon will be gone.

4Kids Entertainment (Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh) had bought up the entire block of Fox Kids.

Here's my impressions of the shows:

8:00AM STARGATE INFINITY Action meets education in an animated series based on MGM's successful sci-fi movie and television franchise "Stargate." A portal to the far reaches of the universe, Stargate is trespassed by a mysterious creature escaping a sinister alien race.

Comments: Okay the FCC is mention in this show. Please raise your hands if you think this show will forsaken its content for "educational value"?

8:30AM ULTRAMAN TIGA Everyone has a favorite superhero. But sometimes, when the going gets tough, "super's" just not enough. And that's when you need "ultra" -- as in Ultraman - the most popular action hero in Japan for over three decades.

That's when one of the GUTS team transforms from his human identity into Ultraman to save the day!

Comments: Wow, they finally brought Ultraman here. For those who are unfamilar with the show, Ultraman is like Power Rangers.

It would interesting to see if they totally revamp the show by just using bits and pieces of clips from the original show and mix them up with American actors.

Or

Will they stick with the original content where all the actors are Japanese.

9:00AM KIRBY Making his broadcast debut is one of Nintendo's most popular characters ever- the video game superstar KIRBY, on the heels of 15 hits- including the popular Super Smash Bros.

Only one outcome's for sure: KINNIKUMAN: ULTIMATE MUSCLE will turn up the action and bring on the laughs.

Comments: I don't know about this show other than this is based on a toy product of the 1980s.

10:00AM TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES The billion dollar phenomenon of the late 80's-early 90's returns first quarter 2003... but no one's ever seen TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES animated action like this.

Comments:This show sounds a little gross. I guess it is another way for American kids to get fatter.

[David64ca]

ULTRAMAN TIGA - This show seems like another Power Ranger type show so.... I might watch it. But if it's on at the same time Power Rangers (ABC and ABC Family) is, I can't watch it.

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES - This show I have to watch. I've watched the old cartoon when I was a kid so they are still my favorite heroes.

Maybe I'll give the other shows on FoxBox a chance.

Actually, this appears to be a straight dub. From what I understand, the people at Tsburaya were unhappy with how Gridman/Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad was handled, so they decreed that "Tiga" be a straight dub. 4Kids is also scoring its own original music, too, so this show is going to be interesting to watch.

ya no Digimon Frontier on Fox anymore... :mad: :mad: :mad:

UPN has it now :confused: :confused: :confused:

Sorry for the rant but this just plain sucks...

The 'new spin' is basically that it's going to be original-issue comic accurate. Well, as comic accurate as it can be for a kids show. The original idea of the turtles was much darker and twisted. Then someone thought it'd make a great kids show, and it went uphill from there, I guess?


ya no Digimon Frontier on Fox anymore...

UPN has it now

Sorry for the rant but this just plain sucks...



Complete sentances, please? ;) *cough*...anyway. Digimon Frontier will be on ABC Family starting next fall, which is a cable channel, BTW. I feel bad for the Digimon, Power Ranger, and Galidor fans who dont have cable. Any chance on ABC making a Saturday morning kids block? Then these shows could return to basic tv.

Other than the Go'uald?



Now, Stargate Command must get the beguiling Draga back to her home planet

Ok this plot should take only one episode to be solved unless the entire SG command's collective IQ's have dropped to 50 or there is another enemy that they have to face other than the Go'uald or the replicators.


while evading capture by sinister alien soldiers as well as bounty hunters from Earth.

BOUNTY HUNTERS FROM EARTH!!?!?

What kind of bounty hunters? The entire Stargate program is so secret that only a few people outside of the base, the pentagon and the senate even know that it exists, much less where it is? How the hell can some bounty hunters from earth know not only about SGC but know exactly where it is AND how to use the Stargate.


Fully compliant with the FCC Children's Television Act, STARGATE INFINITY reunites the team responsible for such acclaimed educational programming as the multi award-winning "Captain Planet"

Like this is supposed to bw a good thing? A show with some of the worst written and created villians of all time

Why does Hoggish Greedly look like a pig? Why would any villian want to pollute the earth for no reason. The radioacive guy needs radiation
to live, Looten Plunder wants cash and the female doctor is just some generic mad scientist.

and "Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego?," the first Emmy award-winning FCC friendly series.

[RZetlin]

Here is a pic from the Stargate Infinity series.

http://www.gateworld.net/news/graphics/infinity01.jpg

Now the characters would look okay if this was an average science fiction cartoon, but this is based on Stargate Movie/TV series!

Where are the military clothes?! Where are the military guns?!

According to Gate World (http://www.gateworld.net/), Stargate Infinity family-friendly show with a strong moral message which confirms my fears that this show will likely be mundane and boring.

This is one of the reasons why I don't like it when the FCC is involved making cartoons. :mad:

[LightAngel]

I was rather intrigued my the new Stargate series, but I don't imagine its going to like what I originally expected it to be. The new TMNT series sounds interesting though. I'm surprised they're going with a darker approach.

[czyznyck99]

Uh...

...Are you ok?

It's too weird. When ABC took a large part of Fox last year, things fell apart in a hurry. The bad thing is that shows are caught in the crossfire, like Digimon. We will see what happens in September...

Later.
