It's basically one long EnforcedPlug for Fox Box shows on at that time. Basically, the story is that a mysterious [[TheVoice voice]] informs the [[BigBad bad guys]] of five TV shows ([[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 Shredder]], [[KirbyOfTheStars King Dedede & Escargoon]], Dr. [[strike:[[SonicTheHedgehog Robotnik]]]] [[SonicX Eggman]], [[UltimateMuscle Dial Bolic]], and [[Animation/CubixRobotsForEveryone 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. [[TheHero The heroes]] of each TV show also get wind of what's happening, and they set out to take the codes back.

''The Fight for the Fox Box'' was a 2003 half-hour-long TV special. At that time, [[FourKidsEntertainment 4Kids Entertainment]] was running a programming block known as the "Fox Box" (because it was broadcast on the [[{{FOX}} Fox network]]). It was also an IntercontinuityCrossover.

* TheOtherDarrin: It seems unlikely that 4Kids would have gotten TomKenny and KathSoucie to redub lines for this, so the voices of Wayne (MarcThompson) and Lucien Cramp (Creator/VeronicaTaylor) are noticeably different.

The TV special ends with the villains reporting how they failed to keep their code safe. The Voice says "[[YouFool You fools!]]" and informs them that April O'Neil has set up a website (now defunct) called Savethefoxbox.com, where viewers can enter in the codes to get the network back on the air. During his [[EvilLaugh evil laughter]], the sound visualization for his voice fades away to reveal his real identity - [[TheCrampTwins Wayne Cramp]]. The half-hour ends with a non-conclusive ending of him pushing his brother Lucien down the stairs, with an appearance of the show's [[TitleDrop logo]].

* HostileShowTakeover: The plot revolves around villains trying to destroy the Fox Box.

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 [[LetMeGetThisStraight question]] [[KinnikumanNisei Meat]] on what he knows about the disappeared codes. He then proceeds to [[AsYouKnow fill them in on what's been happening]] on UltimateMuscle [[HowWeGotHere up to that point]].
