In 2001, due to the network not performing well, Fox Family and Saban were sold to Disney; this left Fox Kids, now back in the News Corporation's hands, without a big portion of their programming. With this, plus them struggling with the changing scene of children's television with other Saturday blocks and cable channels outranking them in the ratings, and affiliates wanting to use the daytime hours used by the block for their own programs, Fox discontinued the weekly block and put the remaining Saturday morning timeslot up for bidding, with [[4Kids Entertainment]] winning and securing the rights to program that period. The Fox Kids block continued to air in repeats until September 7, 2002, and was replaced the following week (on September 14) by the 4Kids-programmed FoxBox (later renamed 4Kids TV); Fox Kids Worldwide was then closed. |

Visuals: On a purple and black gradient background is the name "FOX CHILDREN'S PRODUCTIONS" in gold in its 20th Century Fox font."FOX" is n a big big font on top, "CHILDREN'S" is in the middle in a smaller size, and "PRODUCTIONS" is at the bottom in the same font size. A slow shining wipe effect appears on the logo.
Variant: A still version exists.
Technique: CGI.
Audio:
Availability:
Visuals: On a white background are silhouettes of a film reel and film tape. On top of the background is the word "fox" continuously changing colors, with searchlights behind it. Under the "fox" searchlights we see a zigzagged line with "children's productions" under it.
Technique: 2D computer animation.
Audio: The ending theme of the show or none.
Audio Variants:
Availability:
Visuals: On a space background is the Earth. Then the Earth rapidly gets "sucked" in to reveal that the globe is in a kid's eye. The camera then zooms out to reveal a bunch of kids faces with the 1997 Fox Kids logo in the middle of the screen, which consists of the red text "FOX KIDS" stacked in front of a black square, with two yellow searchlights in place of the "X" in "FOX". Behind "FOX KIDS" are red rectangles that shake, and two yellow searchlights sway at the top, all of which give it an intentionally "messy" appearance, and below "FOX KIDS" is the white Ad Lib text "worldwide".
Trivia: This logo ties into the "Fox Kids Rocks Kids" branding used from spring 1997 to summer 1998, though the logo was still used until 1999.
Technique: Computer animation.
Audio: A whoosh and a swish sound, then a fast-paced drumbeat.
Audio Variant: Sometimes on some shows, the ending theme plays over it instead.
Availability:
Visuals: The 1998 "FOX KIDS" logo (which consists of the words; in which the "X" in "FOX" is two yellow searchlights crossing, a reference to the searchlights in the 20th Century Fox logo and rest of the letters are in red) spins around several times while white circles behind it enlarge and disappear, as if they're being transmitted by a radio tower.
Trivia: The rotating logo and a voice-over are based on the 1998-99 bumpers from the Fox Kids block.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A robotic voice-over saying "Fox Kids!" over and over with beeping noises in the background.
Audio Variant: On a Russian dubbing print of the Dennis the Menace episode "A Froggy Day/Loch Ness Mess/Box Office Smash", the 1997 fanfare from the previous logo is heard.
Availability: This logo was mainly used by Fox Kids Europe.
Visuals: On a red background with some yellow "stars", the 2002 Fox Kids logo (which consists of an all yellow version of the 1998 logo in a yellow circle) is seen in the center of the screen. The words "in association with" is seen above it. There also seems to be a comet behind the Fox Kids logo.
Trivia: This logo was based on Fox Kids's short-lived branding from February 9-September 7, 2002, as well as Fox's on-air branding from the 2001-2002 TV season.
Technique: A still, digital graphic.
Audio: The end theme of the show.
Availability: It was only seen on Galidor: Defenders of the Outer Dimension, which hasn't been re-aired in years and also does not have any sort of VHS or DVD release.
