Sorry with the lateness. Now with the quickness! FOX KIDS!

The 90s were weirdly magical for cartoons, right? Nothing could stop you from waking up on Saturdays for your favorite cartoon of Kids’ Warner Brothers, whatever your jam was that week. What most of us seem to forget, however, is how intentional all this was. Kids’ WB planned out everything for kids. They wanted kids to have their own space, their own minds, and their own voice. But nothing is permanent, so Kids’ WB wasn’t either. Times changed, and slowly we lost the gem for better or for worse. Today, we’ll discuss all about what happened to Kids’ WB. Let’s get started.

8 Fox Kids Shows You Forgot Existed

The '90s featured some of the best kids' TV shows ever made, with Fox Kids at the forefront.

Remember when waking up early on a Saturday felt worth it?
In the 1990s, FOX Kids transformed Saturday mornings into a full-blown cultural event — with darker superheroes, faster animation, serialized storytelling, and shows that actually treated kids like intelligent viewers.

In this video, we break down how FOX Kids rose from nothing to dominate the ’90s, changed children’s television forever, launched massive franchises like Power Rangers, X-Men, and Batman: The Animated Series, and then vanished almost overnight after corporate mergers and shifting TV habits rewrote the rules.

From the bold launch strategy and the Warner Bros. animation deal, to moral panics, cable wars with Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, Disney’s billion-dollar buyout, and the death of Saturday morning appointment viewing — this is the complete rise, peak, and fall of FOX Kids.

This isn’t just nostalgia. It’s the story of how kids’ TV got cooler, riskier, and smarter… and why we’ll probably never see anything like it again.

In September of nineteen ninety, Fox launched a Saturday morning kids' block with no budget, no original shows, and no credibility. Every network in America thought they would fail.

Seven years later, FOX Kids was beating Nickelodeon. They had X-Men: The Animated Series. Spider-Man. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Batman. The greatest cartoon lineup any network had ever assembled.

Then in October of two thousand and one, News Corp sold Fox Family Worldwide to Disney for five point three billion dollars. Haim Saban walked away with one point five billion dollars — one of the largest individual cash payouts in Hollywood history. The Saturday morning block was handed to 4Kids Entertainment in September of two thousand and two. X-Men, Spider-Man, and Power Rangers vanished. Ratings collapsed thirty percent. The network that ruled Saturday mornings was erased by a string of boardroom decisions.

This video is the rise and fall of FOX Kids — how Haim Saban's two-million-dollar Super Sentai deal built a billion-dollar empire, how X-Men and Spider-Man rewrote what kids' television could be, and how Disney's five point three billion dollar acquisition killed it overnight.
