Product: Spongebob Squarepants: Movie
Rating: 5.0
The first Nicktoon series to go HD, even if it's not an episode of the actual series (in production order).
Yellow & blue make serious "green" for Nick & Paramount. The SpongeBob Movie can now be seen in full HD, including its hysterical Teaser commercial, on Blu-ray disc. This is a combo pack since you can see the Blu-ray disc at home and the DVD wherever you want. The "Blu" disc has some bonuses not seen on VHS OR DVD. There's a second SpongeBob Movie in production when I typed this, due to be in theatres in 2014, and it's only fitting that this movie might become a Blu-ray combo pack in 2015. The first one was meant to conclude the whole shebang, but SpongeBob's universal appeal & popularity extended the show to at least 9 seasons & 2 theatrical movies; it's THAT good. Which means it'll be the next-to-last chapter in the whole shebang, behind the second movie. Since the Blu-ray disc is in HD, you should still keep an eye out for a picture of Popeye the Sailor inside The Krusty Krab 2 somewhere in the movie! His own theatrical shorts used to be made by Paramount at one time, now owned by the WB & in the Public Domain. SpongeBob has become the first Nicktoon in history to be released on Blu-ray disc, even if the movie, or the next one, isn't in the show's production order. Who knows if Nick will decide to release the series on Blu-ray disc? No other Nick TV show, animated or otherwise, has gone that far. Enjoy this combo pack, since this movie isn't part of the First 100 Episodes DVD set.
