The film was originally intended as the, but Nickelodeon ordered more episodes of the series as it had become increasingly profitable, so Hillenburg resigned as showrunner with Tibbitt taking his place.The film was widely promoted by Paramount and Nickelodeon, with tie-in promotions made by, the and, which decorated various of its franchises with 9-foot (2.7 m) SpongeBob inflatable figures. The film was released on November 19, 2004, grossing $140 million worldwide, and received generally positive reviews from critics. A second film titled was released on February 6, 2015, and another titled is scheduled for release on August 7, 2020. Contents.Plot A band of discover a treasure chest full of movie tickets to see 'The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.' ' All of the pirates cheer and sing ' as they head to the movie theater to see the motion picture.The movie begins when gets a dream of himself imitating in an action film when he wakes up, cheerfully prepares for the opening ceremony for a second, expecting his boss to promote him as new manager of the new restaurant. Krabs names, SpongeBob’s next-door neighbor and co-worker, as manager, thinking SpongeBob is too immature to handle the role, much to SpongeBob's depression. Meanwhile, Mr.

Krabs' business rival, complains about his failures to his computer wife, being unable to steal the Krabby Patty formula. When Karen points out plan 'Z', a scheme which he has yet to attempt, Plankton decides to implement it.That night, SpongeBob drowns his sorrows in ice cream with his best friend.

Elsewhere, Plankton steals 's crown, leaving false evidence to frame Mr. Krabs for the crime, and sends the crown to the distant land of Shell City. The next morning, Neptune barges into the Krusty Krab 2 and threatens Mr.

Krabs for his alleged thievery. SpongeBob arrives and chastises Mr. Krabs under the influence of an ice-cream headache, but seeing his boss's life at risk shocks SpongeBob back to his senses and he promises Neptune that he will retrieve the crown from Shell City.

Neptune is convinced by his daughter Mindy to spare Mr. Krabs for the time being and freezes him instead, ordering SpongeBob to return with the crown in exactly six days.

Soon after SpongeBob and Patrick leave for Shell City, Plankton steals the Krabby Patty formula and uses it to produce and sell Krabby Patties at his restaurant, the Chum Bucket. He also gives away free Chum Bucket helmets to his customers, which are actually mind-controlling devices that Plankton activates to control Bikini Bottom's residents and take over the city. Squidward goes to the Chum Bucket to confront Plankton, but is captured and enslaved by the customers.After overcoming several setbacks on their journey, including sacrificing the Patty Wagon to escape a ravenous, SpongeBob and Patrick reach a dangerous, monster-filled trench. When they finally come to the conclusion that they cannot finish the mission due to their immaturity, they tearfully give up. Mindy arrives at the trench and tells SpongeBob and Patrick about Plankton's plan. She pretends to magically turn them into men by giving them seaweed mustaches. With their confidence boosted, they brave the trench but are confronted by Dennis, a hitman hired by Plankton to eliminate them.

Suddenly, Dennis is stepped on by a hard-hat diver that SpongeBob and Patrick believe to be a. The Cyclops grabs SpongeBob and Patrick, and takes them to his beachside store, revealed to be Shell City.In the store, SpongeBob and Patrick find the crown, but die when they are dehydrated by the Cyclops' heat lamp. Their tears short-circuit the lamp's power cord, and its smoke activates the sprinkler system, reviving them and the other dried sea creatures intended to be sold as souvenirs.

As the vengeful sea creatures attack and overwhelm the Cyclops, SpongeBob and Patrick take the crown and head for the beach, where appears and offers them a ride. He swims from the beach to Bikini Bottom carrying them on his back. Dennis catches up to them, but is knocked back into the sea by a. Then, when they arrive at Bikini Bottom, Hasselhoff launches SpongeBob and Patrick down to the Krusty Krab 2.At the Krusty Krab 2, King Neptune arrives to execute Mr. Krabs much to Plankton's enjoyment and Mindy's horror, but SpongeBob and Patrick return with the crown just before he is able to do so. They and Mindy confront Plankton, but he drops a king size mind-controlling bucket on Neptune, enslaving him and revealing that Plankton's plan was not just to steal the Krabby Patty formula but also to set Neptune up so he could take over the world. Before Plankton can direct Neptune to kill them, SpongeBob finally accepts his immaturity and bursts into a rock song, which destroys the mind-controlling helmets, freeing King Neptune, Squidward, and the rest of Bikini Bottom's residents from Plankton's control.

Plankton tries to escape, but he is stepped on and flatted by the other citizens. Plankton is arrested for all of his crimes, while Neptune thaws out Mr. Krabs, who promotes SpongeBob to manager of the Krusty Krab 2 in gratitude.Cast.

When Jeffrey Tambor signed for his voice cameo, he saw his character (King Neptune) and joked, 'This is me.' He remembered the first cartoon he saw,: 'My first cartoon, I had to be carried out crying It was Bambi.

It's like the great American wound: the death of Bambi's mother. 'Run, Bambi, run!' ' Another guest voice was Alec Baldwin; Stephen Hillenburg said that the actor recorded his character Dennis on a 'phone': 'I wouldn't say that about his performance.

He might be mad if we said that. Technically, it was like he was in another booth in the studio.' And star accepted the role when his daughters, Taylor-Ann and, urged him: 'I got an offer to do a cameo in the SpongeBob Movie and I turned to my girls, who were like 16 and 14, and I said, 'Who's SpongeBob?'

' Hasselhoff enjoyed his cameo: 'It was great fun and to this day around the world kids stop me and say, 'Are you David Hasselhoff?' Because I was the only human in the picture.' Hasselhoff said that the film gained him new fans: 'It's amazing - so many of the kids were so young and didn't see Baywatch and Knight Rider so I got a whole new legion of fans.'

Animation There were a number of stages involved in the making of the film, beginning with a rough animation process of ideas drawn on. The writers drew, working from rough outlines rather than scripts (which made the humor more visual than verbal). The storyboard artists, including, then illustrated ideas conceived by the writers.

In the series and do the, but director Hillenburg and writer did the animatics for the film. Yasumi and Overtoom were the film's animation-timing directors, concentrating on the sheets. The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie was animated at in. The animators worked semi-digitally; pencil-drawn poses would be into layouts in.Series writer and storyboard artist left the show for a year to work on and, but returned to do storyboards and character layout for the film. He 'always wanted to be a feature animator, and the movie felt like I was on the character animation end', describing the experience as 'a blast it felt like coming home.' Hillenburg enjoyed the process of making the film: 'The TV schedule is tight, and you don't always have a lot of time to work on your drawings.' He appreciated the film's: 'I think the movie's drawings are much superior than the TV show', although was flourishing at the time of the film's release.

'There's a lot of talk about 2-D being dead, and I hope people don't think that. Even is a proponent of 2-D.

He would agree with me that it's all about what you're trying to say. There are many ways to tell a story, and what's unique about animation is that there are many styles with which to tell a story.'

The scenes were shot by Mark Caballero, Seamus Walsh and Chris Finnegan at in. Filming The film features live-action scenes directed by in. The ship used during the 30-second opening featuring the pirates singing the theme song was the, a 180-foot (55 m)-long, enlarged reconstruction of the 1787 sailing ship built for 1962's. The ship appeared in a number of other films, including (1999), (2006) and (2007).

In, live-action scenes were taken from (1981), (1990), (1995), and (2000). The crew built a larger-than-life replica of David Hasselhoff for visual effect.and actor made a in the live-action scenes, offering SpongeBob and Patrick a ride to Bikini Bottom. The scene was originally written before consulting Hasselhoff. Hillenburg was pleased with the storyboards; Lead storyboard artist said, 'He had been wrestling with the ending for quite a while, and finally he was ready to pitch his ideas to some of the other board artists.' Hillenburg was counting on casting Hasselhoff, and the first question he asked him was 'So, do we have Hasselhoff?' He replied 'No', with a grin.

Hasselhoff eventually agreed, before seeing the script. Hillenburg said about the actor, 'He's a great guy He was great at making fun of himself.'

The crew built a 750-pound (340 kg), 12-foot (3.7 m) replica of Hasselhoff. The $100,000 replica was kept at Hasselhoff's home; he has said, 'It freaked me out because it was so lifelike, with teeth, when you touch it it feels like real skin. It's soft, like your skin.' At the completion of filming, Hasselhoff said, 'That's ridiculously awesome. What are you gonna do with it?' Asked by the crew if he wanted to keep it, he answered, 'Uh, yeah.

Hasselhoff filmed in cold water, where he was pulled by a sled nine yards across the sea; he described the experience as 'cold but a lot of fun.' In late March 2014, Hasselhoff offered the replica up for auction with other memorabilia collected during his career. Handled the item's sale, which were expected to bring in between $20,000 and $30,000. Ultimately, Hasselhoff pulled the item, just a few days before the auction.

One of the film's producers contacted frontman after seeing a SpongeBob hanging from Tweedy's rearview mirror in. Tweedy said, 'I fell in love with SpongeBob when I heard him describe the darkness at the bottom of the sea as 'advanced darkness' How could I not write a song for this film?

Hillenburg had no problem with candy and ice cream, Pistor said (because of the treats' simplicity), but he had issues with; according to him, the latter was 'full of hidden additives.' Pistor said, 'The trouble is that you can't go out with animated films without a fast-food tie-in.

People don't take you seriously.' Hillenburg replied, 'Yeah, well, my take on that is that we shouldn't do that.

We didn't want to suddenly become the people serving up food that's not that good for you especially kids. We work with, and they make toys and watches. But to actually take the step of pushing the food, that's crossing the line.

I don't want to be the Pied Piper of fast food.' The film was promoted across the United States. Nickelodeon joined for a 12-figure line based on the film, and about 4,700 Burger King stores perched 9-foot (2.7 m), inflatable SpongeBob figures on their roofs as part of the promotion (one of the largest in history).

One was found attached to a railing at the football-field 50-yard line at an college, and another under a bed in. A ransom note was found for a third: 'We have SpongeBob.

Critical response On, the film has an approval rating of 69% based on 128 reviews and an average score of 6.2/10.

The site's consensus read, 'Surreally goofy and entertaining for both children and their parents.' Gave the film a score of 66 out of 100, based on reviews from 32 critics, indicating 'generally favorable reviews'. According to, audiences gave the film a grade of 'B+' on an A+ to F scale.

All of this happens in jolly animation with bright colors and is ever so much more entertaining than you are probably imagining. No doubt right now you're asking yourself why you have read this far in the review, given the near-certainty that you will not be going anywhere near a SpongeBob SquarePants movie, unless you are the parent or adult guardian of a SpongeBob SquarePants fan, in which case your fate is sealed. Assuming that few members of SpongeBob's primary audience are reading this (or can read), all I can tell you is, the movie is likely to be more fun than you expect., in his review for thegave the film three out of four stars, calling it 'the ' of animation plopping us down inside a fast-food war being fought by sponges, starfish, crabs, tiny plankton and mighty King Neptune.' Ed Park of wrote, 'No?

An unstoppable good-mood generator, the resolutely 2-D The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie has more yuks than and enough soul to swallow whole.' Michael Rechtshaffen of gave the film a positive review, calling it 'an animated adventure that's funnier than Shark Tale and more charming than The Polar Express.' Randy Cordova of said, 'Like the, it's a daffy, enjoyable creation.'

Of the gave the feature a score of three out of four: 'It's not, or one of those animated features that spent zillions on character design, pedigree and verisimilitude. But SpongeBob is a sweet, silly thing with a child-friendly esthetic all its own.' Will Lawrence of gave the film four out of five stars, calling it 'a film for kids, students, stoners, anyone who enjoys a break from reality.' Of gave it a B-minus grade: 'The best moments in his SpongeBob SquarePants first movie outing are those that feel most TV-like, just another day in the eternally optimistic undersea society created with such contagious silliness by Stephen Hillenburg.' Of The Washington Post enjoyed the film: 'You gotta love SpongeBob. Coolest sponge in the sea, although this one has a suspiciously manufactured look.'

Carla Meyer of the wrote that ' The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie retains the 2-D charm of the hugely popular cartoon but adds a few tricks a little 3-D here, a little there. The series' appeal never lay in its visuals, however. 'SpongeBob' endeared itself to kids and adults through sweetness and cleverness, also abundant here.'

Of gave it a score of four out of five: 'If you're tired of bluster and swagger, SpongeBob is your man.' Tom Maurstad of also gave the film a B-minus grade: 'Being so good is what led to making the movie, and it's also the reason that many small-screen episodes are better than this big-screen venture.' Some reviews praised David Hasselhoff's appearance in the film. Jennifer Frey of wrote, 'Getting to see the hairs on Hasselhoff's back (and thighs, and calves) magnified exponentially is perhaps a bit creepy. Like the movie, it's all in good fun.'

Nancy Basile of, who gave the film four out of five stars, wrote that Hasselhoff 'must have a great sense of humor.' Cinema Blend founder Joshua Tyler called Hasselhoff's role 'the best movie cameo I've seen since stuck a joint in his crotch and played a clarinet to charm the resulting smoke like a snake.' There's plenty to treasure in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, but for all the spit-and-polish animation and the rollicking soundtrack (which includes an original song by, as well as 's gorgeous 'Ocean Man,' from their album), this isn't the yellow one's most thrilling hour—or 80 minutes.' David Edelstein, in his Slate reviewof criticized the film's plot, calling it a 'big, heavy anchor of a story structure to weigh him down.' Mike Clark of called it 'harmlessly off-the-cuff but facing far more pedigreed multiplex competition SpongeBob barely rates as OK when compared with The Incredibles.' A reviewer noted in, 'Anyone expecting anything more risky will be sadly disappointed.' In his review, said the film 'takes on rather too much water during its extended feature-length submersion.'

Staff member David N. Butterworth gave it zero stars, saying that 'For much like fish, The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie truly stinks.' While the film received mostly positive reviews by critics and by fans of the show, it is considered a turning point in the show's history; many fans believe that the television series has since the film's release.

While episodes aired before the film were praised for their 'uncanny brilliance', those aired after the film have been called 'kid-pandering attention-wasters', 'tedious', 'boring', 'dreck', a 'depressing plateau of mediocrity' and 'laugh-skimpy.' After the film's release, fans 'began to turn away from the show,' causing to 'become deserted.' Some fans believe that the show's 2012 ratings decline correlates with a decline in quality, and 'whatever fan support the show enjoys is not enough' to save it from its slide in ratings. This was due to the fact that Stephen Hillenburg and many writers left the show. Accolades. Director was nominated at the for.
