The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie

Plot synopsis:
This movie starts out unanimated with pirates sailing in open water. One of the pirates is looking through his spyglass and spots something. Then another pirate is rowing a dinghy toward the pirate ship that contains a treasure chest. The chest and pirate are brought aboard where the captain opens it to reveal tickets to the Spongebob movie. The ship pulls up to dryland and the pirates race to the cinema where they rush to their seats. This is where the animation begins. We see Mr. Krabs(Clancy Brown) talking to a reporter about "a situation" and that he would rather wait for his manager to arrive until he discusses it. Turns out the "situation" is a customer ordered a crabby patty with cheese but it has no cheese. Then Spongebob(Tom Kenny) pulls up in a car that has flames down the side of it, gets out wearing cowboy boots and spurs and asks Mr. Krabs what the problem is. SB goes in and puts cheese on the patty in his own unique way and comes out the door carrying the customer and says "Order Up". The crowd applauds and lifts Spongebob up and yells "Three cheers for Spongebob, Hip Hip HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOnk(Spongebobs foghorn alarm clock), Hip Hip HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOnk, Hip Hip HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOnk and he wakes on the third honk. SB then tells Gary that he had that dream again. SB goes to the calendar and tells Gary that today is the day, the opening of the Krusty Krab 2 where Mr. Krabs will name the manager of it. He is convinced it will be him due to the fact that he has been the employee of the month for thirty something months in a row. SB takes a shower, gets dressed and leaves, talks to Squidward(Rodger Bumpass) while he is taking a shower in his own house, about being named the new manager, then tallks to Patrick(Bill Faberbakke) about being named manager where after they will party till they are purple at Goofy Goobers. At the ceremony there are reporters present talking about the opening of the new KK2. Plankton(Mr. Lawrence) sees it and asks Karen(Jill Talley) why he can't be successful like Mr. K. He says he has exhausted every plan from A to Y. Karen asks about Plan Z. Across the street Mr. Krabs starts the show by announcing the new manager as Squidward. SB is disappointed and asks why he was not named. Mr. K. tells him the reason is because he is just a kid. SB walks away with his head down. Then Patrick flies in praising SB for his promotion with a SB flag between his buttcheeks and crashes into the stage collapsing it. Later that evening Plankton goes to King Neptunes(Jeffrey Tambor) castle and steals his crown leaving a note saying Mr. Krabs did it. Neptune confronts Mr. K. about it at the KK2 and starts to fry him on the spot. SB tells Neptune that he will go get the crown and Neptune laughs in his face saying that he can't do that because he is only a kid. Neptune gives SB 6 days to find the crown before he burns Mr. K. During that 6 days, Mr. K. has to stay frozen and then Neptune freezes him. SB and Patrick take off to Shell City to retrieve the crown in the "Patty Wagon", a promotional car that is an exact replica of a Krabby Patty. They stop at the county line to fill up where two "hick" fish tell them, "you won't last ten seconds over the county line" because they are just kids. Crossing the line a large, mean looking fish makes them get out of the car. As he speeds away, SB asks the "hicks", "how many seconds was that" and they say "twelve" and SB and Patrick high five each other and say "in your face". Meanwhile, Plankton has stolen the Krabby Patty formula from Mr. K., started selling patties and giving away chum bucket helmets with every puchase. Squidward leaves home and everywhere in town he sees people are wearing these helmets. Finding out where they got them, he confronts Plankton and says he is going to tell Neptune that he stole the crown. At that moment, Plankton pushes a button and all the helmets become mind controlling with Plankton in charge. SB and Pat are walking now and spot their car at a local tavern filled with rough and tough thugs named "Tough Tavern". They get the key and are back on the road again. Back at Bikini Bottom, Plankton has the big head and tells Karen that nothing can stop him now. Everyone wearing a helmet is constructing a monument that is a replica of Plankton and whatever else he wants. Karen says that nothing can stop him but SB and his pink friend. Plankton says he has taken care of that by hiring a hitman named Dennis(Alec Baldwin). SB and Pat lose the car again when a monster eats it by posing as an old lady selling ice cream. To go any farther, they have to cross a deep cavern filled with hideous monsters. They decide it can't be done by a couple of kids and start to go back home. At that moment, Mindy(Scarlett Johansson), who is Neptunes daughter, shows up and tells them they can not go home because of what Plankton is up to and decides to turn them into men. She makes them close their eyes and she puts seaweed on their lips as mustaches. So they start singing the "Now That We're Men" song and cross the cavern. On the other side, Dennis confronts them for the first time saying Plankton wanted him to step on them. A giant foot then steps on Dennis and SB and Pat see that it is the cyclops that guards Shell City. The cyclops grabs those two and takes them to his hideout. SB and Pat wake up laying on colored rocks in a fishbowl. Turns out, Shell City is a gift shop for dead sealife. SB and Pat escape with Neptunes crown after realizing that they as a couple of kids DID reach Shell City. Now they are wondering how to get home when David Hasselhoff tells them that he can take them. They get on his back and start home on top of the water just as a boat would. Dennis shows up again to step on them and gets knocked off by another boat. At that time Neptune is at the KK2 to burn Mr. K. with Plankton sitting close by eating popcorn and waiting for the show. At the last second, SB and Pat show up with the crown. Plankton then puts a king size helmet on Neptune and tells him to burn SB and Pat and Mr. K. SB turns into a wizard singing the goofy goober words to the tune of Twisted Sisters "I Wanna Rock", destroys all the helmets with laser beams out of his guitar and saves the day. Neptune unfreezes Mr. K., the cops arrest Plankton and put him in jail and SB is made manager.

Review:
To my surprise, he said SpongeBob because it was "funnier." I suppose this is a lesson that children aren't quite as impressed with fancy animation as adults are.But he's right, SpongeBob is a funny movie in it's own quirky, original way.
All very light though.For all the children and adults who have still a child-like look on life, I sincerely hope that the Spongebob team will continue making movies!.
It is still the same old SpongeBob, and that what I like about this movie.The story is consistence and the humor is still fun to watch, there is always something new coming up making it unpredictable.
SpongeBob still make it big despite being a 2D cartoon cause the animation here is colorfully done.Overall: I enjoy the whole film, but maybe a little downside on the David Hasselhoff parts.
But overall it is an extremely enjoyable film.Reason To Watch: Finally Able To See SpongeBob In Full Length Movie.
And some of the younger kids I saw looked confused when Mr. Krabs was telling Spongebob he was making a jackass out of himself and when Patrick was wearing hooker tights.Not for everyone but a very funny movie indeed..
The comic timing was perfect, the music resonated perfectly in my ear, and I can honestly say that from the opening pirate credits to the final jump in the air, this film was the rawest form of cinematic perfection and the BEST film I have seen this 2005 year (so far).I know you are probably thinking, "Andy, you watch a lot of movies, why did you like this one so much?" and I really don't have a straightforward answer to that question.
Perhaps it is the repetitive nature of the films that I am currently watching that had me running towards the arms of this SpongeBob movie, or maybe because comedies are not quite the caliber of humor as they once were (resorting to restroom humor and sex instead of actual "funny" comedy), or maybe it was because it told a story that I could relate to, but whatever the case may be this film ranks among the best.
I'm ready, depression." HA, this has me nearly falling out of my seat as I type this now.The heart, humor, and childlike feeling for this hero will have children falling over to see this film (though where I work most children are not huge fans of this film  they say that television program is better), and if it is watched by an embarrassed adult, you will be surprised on how much you could probably relate to this film.
This isn't just one of those "pretty good for a kids' flick" deals, this is a good movie, period.The characters are hilarious and the sight gags are great; the scene in which SpongeBob and his idiot friend Patrick drink one or two ice creams too many is positively hilarious, as well as some other sequences.
Definitely worth seeing.Oddly enough, while most people complain that this movie wasn't as good as the show it's based on, I've watched a few episodes of SpongeBob and I could barely make it through them.
If you for some reason have not seen this movie it is WAY funnier than the mild kid TV show and is totally awesome even my 54 year old dad liked 100 times more than Napoleon Dynamite and a lot better than Spirited Away.
Great plot, funny movie,appropriate for all ages,and is definitely one of those movies you can watch over and over again.This movie is just a good animated film period.10/10 stars.
There are laughs for everyone; the Patrick stupidity jokes for the kids and the David Hasselhoff appearance for the adults, and yes, it does appeal to that one third of the SpongeBob viewing population that's over the age of 21, but can be seen and enjoyed by anyone as young as six.
The thing I like most about the movie was Spongebob was still his character and is very good at being it.
Meanwhile, back in Bikini Bottom, Plankton's evil plan Z has taken an even more sinister turn.I've never actually watched an episode of SpongeBob SquarePants but figured that the film was at least worth a look as it seemed imaginative and good enough to have made the transition from television to movie.
The film opens with a rather obvious "it's a movie" live action starter that didn't inspire me that much but once we get down into the animated world of Bikini Bottom things instantly get a lot better.
lots of stuff that flies right over the kiddies' heads.The one thing I didn't like about the movie - the character Mindy (King Neptune's princess daughter).

Although I'm sure there are many parents who would shudder at the thought of sitting down to watch The Spongebob Squarepants Movie, I was actually looking forward to it: it may be a far cry from the Disney and Hanna-Barbera fodder I was raised on, but I love the surreal and 'anything goes' vibe of the TV programme and was keen to see the feature length version.The story centres around Spongebob's attempt to retrieve King Neptune's stolen crown, in order to save the life of his boss, Mr. Krabs, who has been framed for the crime.
Together with his friend Patrick, Spongebob travels to Shell City to find the crown and save the day.Spongebob is a well-meaning character who I find it impossible not to like, and although perhaps the format is stretched a tad too far for an hour-and-a-half long film, there is still plenty to enjoy about this fun packed feature (let's face itany film that sees a climactic fight take place on David Hasselhoff's butt, and a sponge defeat evil via the power of rock 'n' roll, has got to be worth seeing!).The Spongebob Squarepants Movie may not win any new fans, but those who think that the TV show is genius should definitely give this one a whirl..
Fans of SpongeBob and its special humor will certainly enjoy this movie, although it's not as good as the television show.
SpongeBob and Patrick form a great stupid comical duo and Mr. Krabs and Squidward are also present but unfortunately a bit underused in the movie, especially Squidward, who always is such a fun, grumpy and dry character to watch in the television show.You would normally expect from a featured animated movie to be better and more detailed than its television show.
When I moved overseas as an 8 year old and considered it to be the worst thing that had ever happened to me, I knew that I could always laugh at Spongebob.Even now when I've had a really bad day and I feel terrible about myself, I can throw on an episode of Spongebob and almost immediately feel better as I roar with laughter.And I fully believe that this is the best film based on a TV show ever made.
It doesn't feel too ambitious, nor does it feel too small of an idea, it just works perfectly with the time limit.The characters from the show (Spongebob, Patrick, Squidward, Mr Krabs and Plankton) are all hilarious here and this is where some of their best lines come from.
As an appearance from David Hasslehoff the film was quite weird but still it was the same old Spongebob and Patrick but they set sail on another adventure in the deep blue sea.On a quest to find King Neptunes crown as the evil Plankton has stolen it to take over the world as he frames Mr Krabs in the stealing of the crown and King Neptune freezes him and plankton steals the formula for the one the only Krabby Patty!
There's so much upbeat energy and creative / fun dialog that this movie is a bit of gem.The movie involves the two principal characters, Spongebob and his friend Patrick, on a quest to find the stolen crown of King Neptune.
The one thing I didn't like about the film was the lack of squidward I mean he has his moments to it just wasn't fair really, hes just the complete opposite of spongebob and it works so well the contrast between them its great but hes only in about 5 minutes of the film at most!
and some baby cries, so if you want to see this film in all its true glory get the VHS or DVD of the movie.the plot, to cut a long story short, Mr Krabs, a crustatious cheapskate, gets frozen for being framed by plankton, the tiny evil genius wannabe, for stealing king Neptune's crown.
The writers came up with some good lines, and even if you don't like Spongebob or Patrick as characters there are always some other great and likable characters like Squidward, Plankton and Mr. Krabs (sort of.) It is worth your time!
I personally loved this movie, I'm a huge sponge bob fan and i thought i was gonna be disappointed with all these negative reviews.But i actually had a good time, i didn't go to the theaters sadly because i thought, "why bother?
People who said this movie sucked wasn't there ONE good thing you liked about this film?
A part of me rejoiced over the very idea of feature-length Spongebob, yet another part of me was very much worried that this would turn out to be another run-of-the-mill kids movie full of fart jokes and supposedly "funny" scenes where the characters suddenly start dancing to some Britney Spears song.Well, as you probably noticed from my rating, my hopes were more than satisfied.The film is every bit as hysterical as the very best episodes of the television show, featuring some of the most random, bizarre, and completely ridiculous humor ever put on film, and it probably helps that this always made for my favorites episodes of Spongebob.The film finds Spongebob and Patrick embarking on an epic journey to recover the malevolent King Neptune's (the ruler of Bikini Bottom, the town where Spongebob resides) crown, which the evil Plankton stole and framed Mr. Krabs (Spongebob's boss) for.
Along the way, they encounter rough thugs, monsters, a contract killer sent to stop them, and a deep-sea diver out to turn them into "humorous dioramas".The film showcases slightly sharper animation than the show, dead-on comic timing, and plenty of completely ludicrous and absurd situations, including a particularly memorable sequence in which Spongebob and Patrick ride "The (David) Hasselhoff" out to sea.
The aforementioned Hasselhoff scene being an exception, of course.But those segments aside, "The Spongebob Squarepants Movie" is a hilarious celebration of the off-beat and actually turns out being a little bit epic.9/10.
I saw a episode of this on a TV about a year ago,it was so amusing that when i saw toys of that sponge in stores I would recall,"ya I liked that show , funny stuff for kids".So when I saw a DVD movie of Spongebob I bought it for my 16 month old son (ya right) and sat down and watched it.
I have been watching the shows and episodes for about two years now and still laugh :) I thought the movie was very well done and I liked all the new characters are were introduced that you don't really see in the dvds.
Here's another example of where the TV show is far superior to the movie.I stayed through the end credits and there is a GREAT song that was actually written by Tom Kenny (Spongebob's voice) called something like "The Best Day Ever" that would have been great in a "F.U.N."-musical-number scene.
The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie exercises the voice talents of Tom Kenny (SpongeBob), Bill Fagerbakke (Patrick Star), Carolyn Lawrence (Sandy Cheeks), Mr. Lawrence (Plankton) and Rodger Bumpass (Squidward Tentacles) from the original Nickelodeon television series SpongeBob SquarePants, and adds Alec Baldwin (Dennis) and Scarlett Johansson (Mindy) to the bill.The movie is conventionally animated, with SpongeBob and Patrick on a mission to reclaim King Neptune's crown.
He figures that by saving the boss, he may take the manager job from Squidward, his boringly stable coworker.Along the way he and Patrick encounter a hit man biker named Dennis (voiced by Alec Baldwin) and Neptune's mermaid daughter Mindy (Scarlett Johansson), who encourages the two on their quest.Despite the juvenile antics, the movie has a well-defined sense of humor, thanks to creator Stephen Hillenburg, who links his love of marine biology and animation with a message that kids can accomplish the most just by being kids.Overall: 7.5/10.
I don't get some commentators like if u didn't see any of spongebob squarepants TV series what's the point to watch this movie.
'The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie (2004)' is not only hilarious and incredibly smart, working both for kids and adults alike, but also surprisingly emotional and more-than-competent from a story stand-point too, becoming one of the most lasting and memorably smile-inducing animations of the twenty-first century.
It's a very fun film from start to finish that the entire family can easily enjoy, I grew up watching this movie and seeing it today serves as huge nostalgia, it still holds up and it is definitely very pleasing for fans of the television series.
The only thing that I noticed while watching this movie today is that there are several plot holes, obviously this movie is aimed at children and they wouldn't take any notice, but for grown ups they can be ridiculously obvious, the most obvious one being that it makes no sense that Plankton would give them the actual location of King Neptune's crown, if he wanted to rule Bikini Bottom then there is no logic to why he would put SpongeBob and Patrick on the right track, also the characters nearly die after being exposed to sunlight for just a few seconds, but then they're running around outside on a sunny day without hesitation, this kind of stuff certainly had me bewildered, but it is only a cartoon at the end of the day.
The characters are fantastic, I grew up watching SpongeBob, Patrick, Mr Krabs, Squidward, Plankton, among many others and they have a very special place in my heart, and here they are supported by a star studded cast that all seemed very interested in their roles, Jeffrey Tambor, Scarlett Johansson, Alec Baldwin and David Hasselhoff, appearing as himself in the only live action role, are all fantastic and it never came across in their performances that they were only doing it for the paycheck.
Very funny for all ages, filled with great musical numbers and charming characters, I would recommend the SpongeBob SquarePants Movie to anyone looking for a good family film.
Well OK no it isn't but the SpongeBob SqaurePants movie is a great little creation at the bottom of the sea, are the jokes on point?, Well not all of them and is the story greatly fun?, Not always but even so I enjoyed myself here, not the kind of downright crying with laughter enjoyment but there is some stupid stuff in here to make you giggle.We see the little yellow sponge go on an adventure to find a crown with his best mate Patrick the starfish and all well as you might expect does not go to plan.
Neptune gives Spongebob 6 days to retrieve the crown in order to save the life of his boss, so along with Patrick the two go on an epic journey to retrieve the crown and prove that they have it in them to be men.Whilst this certainly feels different to the show we do have less time to spend with some of the characters we love.
In the end i will say that as a fan of the early.seasons of the show The Spongebob Squarepants movie really delivers and i enjoyed it a lot both as a child and now that i'm older too and it has me really looking forward to the sequel..
But I went ahead and watched the movie anyway because, frankly, I love David Hasselhoff.The movie is funny, fun, and just a good time.
If you are a fan of Spongebob Squarepants, or cartoons in general, and want to see a funny and epic movie, I would highly recommend this to you!
This is a fun movie based on the SpongeBob SquarePants cartoon, where SpongeBob and his best friend Patrick go on an adventure to Shell City to find out who stoke King Neptune's crown and to save Mr. Krab's life, who is blamed for the theft.Like the cartoon, this is a fast-paced, silly and adventure-filled (albiet goofy and campy at times) movie that will surely entertain an audience of all ages.
The voice actors did a great job in portraying the roles, giving each character a unique, comedic and, at times a dramatic side.This film reminds you of a good old fashion sail-to-the-high-seas adventure story but with a combination of animation and live action (David Hasselhoff's Baywatch-inspired cameo gives the movie a nice touch), giving the plot a refreshing feeling.It's definitely a film that will make your blues go away - it's fun and entertainment for both kids and adults.Grade B.
Most people would agree that the humour is aimed more at an older audience but my grandson was in stitches with great visual and scripted gags throughout.Spongebob works on so many levels but like all good comedies it is about the characters and especially the voices in this brilliant series.Sit back and enjoy.
But it's a lot better than some of the other films parents are conned into and forced to take their children to, such as the latest barrage of CGI animation and the one too many Rugrats movies.There is no way I will waste time explaining the origins and backstory of Spongebob Squarepants.
