Audience Member The late Stephen Hillenburg created one of the most colorful, popular characters on Nickelodeon 25 years ago It’s one of the most iconic brands in tv history selling tons of merchandise Fresh off the hit tv series SpongeBob SquarePants leaps to the big screen with all the familiar faces we know and love Tom Kenny voices SpongeBob joined by Patrick the star fish, Squidward Tentacles, Mr. Krabs, and newcomers King Neptune voiced by Jefferey Tambor and his daughter, Mindy voiced by Scarlett Johansson After 25 years this is one of my favorite tv-movie adaptations It’s pretty much an extended tv episode much like others In this SpongeBob is excited for the grand opening of a second Krusty Krab restaurant in Bikini Bottom and the selecting of a new manager His dreams are dashed though when Mr. Krabs picks Squidward instead Meanwhile Plankton his competitor of the Chum Bucket plans to take over the world and make his establishment more successful He does this by stealing King Neptune’s crown framing Mr. Krabs SpongeBob and Patrick with help from Mindy decide to go after the crown in Shell City to save Bikini Bottom from Plankton’s wrath of course everyone else believes they’re the wrong ones to do so since they act like children more than anything The animation is solid being a step up from the show itself I was definitely laughing at so many of the jokes and the visual gags in this The Goofy Goober bit is the biggest running joke Much of it reverts back to its silly randomness and the journey narrative is a bit familiar Tambor as Neptune is so hilarious and Johansson as Mindy is a breath of fresh air being more loving and compassionate than hard edged like her father SpongeBob himself has an unflagging innocence and lack of irony making for a much needed hero There’s beautifully rendered set-pieces, music videos, and some nice live-action sequences feeling cinematic The creators have a really good lesson in here teaching the kids that you don’t have to have special skills, you are what you are, you just gotta believe in yourselves doing the impossible, in a way we are all goofy so it’s not a man’s world that restricts us There’s also an innocence here that resonates with us all including adults and maturity plus there’s also a direct reference to The Odyssey of all things The infamous cameo by David Hasselhoff adds a livening touch too A lot of perfect timing next to self awareness is present You can’t help but go with so much of it’s random energy A good laid back watch that does what it does for its target audience Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/19/24 Full Review Amir S As the saying goes: a SpongeBob movie, that says it all.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review Christian N Funny, Well-written, amazing Spongebob Movie of all time, perfect for kids, and adults, and a perfect time see this movie to celebrate the franchises 25th anniversary Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review Jose G It's not that bad.I recommend it if you like spongebob Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/11/24 Full Review Manny R This deserves way more than 68% Also I'd like say Paramount, WHY ISN'T THIS MOVIE ON PARAMOUNT PLUS! This is inarguably the best movie based on a NickToon ever. I can only watch it on Prime Video, or Max, which is bad because sometimes I am SO FREAKING DESPRATE TO WATCH THIS MOVIE look at this review and if you have Max or willing to spend like 5 dollars on Prime Video, DO IT, don't give me a lame excuse besides you don't have Max or PV, and you BETTER not go on Max to watch a show after.
