The SpongeBob Movie: The Fourth Adventure

The SpongeBob Movie: The Fourth Adventure is a 2023 American live-action/animated comedy film directed by Vincent Waller in his directorial debut with a story written by Jonathan Aibel & Glenn Berger and Mr. Lawrence and live-action sequences directed by Mike Mitchell. It is the fourth film based on the animated television series SpongeBob SquarePants created by Stephen Hillenburg, and stars Jim Carrey and the voices of Tom Kenny, Lori Alan, Clancy Brown, Rodger Bumpass, Mary Jo Catlett, Bill Fagerbakke, Carolyn Lawrence, Mr. Lawrence, and Jill Talley, all reprising their roles from the series.
The film follows Captain Munch (Carrey), a notorious yet underestimated pirate who steals the Krabby Patty secret formula so he can open his own nautical fast food restaurant and prove his worth to his ancestors, who were all famous restaurateurs in their prime. When SpongeBob and friends discover the formula is missing, they return to the surface to retrieve it. However, SpongeBob isn't the Captain's biggest threat; Pearl, Mr. Krabs' whale daughter, has also reached dry land, defying her dad's orders to stay behind. When she discovers Munch's evil deed, she rallies all of Bikini Bottom against the pirate and take back the formula. To put an end to the chaos, Munch gets the idea of writing a story about SpongeBob and friends in the hopes of trapping them inside the book.
The film was produced by United Plankton Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies and distributed by Paramount Pictures, and released in the United States on July 24, 2023. It received positive reviews from critics and audiences, and was a box office success, grossing $300 million against a $90 million budget.
