The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie VIII: Follow That Boid

is a 2035 animated feature film based off the SpongeBob SquarePants series.
After the lukewarm success of the previous film, Viacom decided "to hell with it" and decided to make the next SpongeBob movie as obnoxious as possible. Due to Daniel Radcliffe having a "dispute" with the producers; director McG cast George Clooney as Harry Potter to the delight of producer Joel Schumacher. Writer Mr. Lawrence backed out of the production for his own safety due to Schumacher's insanity; Noel MacNeal, Stephen White and Kevin Gillis were brought in as new writers - this led to a major rewrite of the script. Following the rewrite, cast members from Sesame Street, Chuck E. Cheese's, the Rock-afire Explosion and The Raccoons were added to the film. The film was shot entirely on location in the Austin, Texas metro area.
The film is followed up by The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie IX: The Reckoning.

The soundtrack contained no songs by Smash Mouth nor Clancy Brown beatboxing tracks and instead featured six spoken word recordings by Aaron Fetcher.
== Promotional Tie-Ins ==
The movie was first teased on Hulk Hogan's Twitter account. A video was posted wherein he stated "Yo Hulkamaniacs! I'm proud to reveal that we're making a brand new SpongeBob movie, starring me and everybody's favorite talking kitchen sponge in a battle against some jabroni pizza restaurateur to save brother Big Bird and his hometown! And who knows, maybe that jabroni George Clooney may try to help the villain out! Check my account later for more updates, brother! Peace out!" The official SpongeBob SquarePants Twitter account later retweeted the video, stating "HUGE announcement from the Hulkster on a new SpongeBob movie!" Billy Mays also retweeted the video, stating "THAT'S RIGHT! BILLY MAYS HERE TO ALSO ASSURE YOU THAT A NEW SPONGEBOB MOVIE IS IN THE MAKING!!"
The first trailer was released at Comic Con 2034; this was met with universally negative reception, with many fans and critics citing similarities to Follow That Bird and criticizing the original version of SpongeBob and TriangleBob's rap battle. Following the trailer's premiere, a writers panel was held once again, with writers Noel MacNeal, Stephen White and Ken Gillis appearing to answer audience questions. Ken Gillis just stared and did nothing, while Stephen White began singing "Deep Freeze" in Scott Wilson's Chuck E. Cheese voice. Barney the Dinosaur used the Barney Shake to terminate detractors of the film.
As guerilla marketing for the film, Noel MacNeal and Tom Kenny sacrificed a copy of Twilight to the literature gods to allow Brian Jacques to rise from the dead to write another Redwall book. It worked. Chuck E. Cheese also debuted the new live show "Chuck E's Clooney Dance", which involves dancing while dressed in a Batman costume with nipples and also features a Bat Credit Card-swiping contest.
As part of the promotion for the film, Noel MacNeal reprised Bear for a meet-and-greet at a Los Angeles Build-A-Bear Workshop. Fans, all but one wearing "Sniff Me" T-shirts, welcomed Bear with open arms. Noel was later arrested for seducing the theatre major wearing the Pawlette Coufur suit. Joel Schumacher paid his bail and took him out to dinner at his new Michelin-starred restaurant, Nipplepolitan.
To help advertise the film, Joel Schumacher and McG had an exclusive trailer for the movie attached to The Hunt 2: The Quickening. Much like The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie V: Resurrection, this decision received backlash from audience members due to the difference in rating and tone between the movies. Steven "Destiny" Bonnell II stated in a interview; "What the hell. I came to see a pull-no-punches attack on the political divide of our country, and I saw a trailer for a stupid SpongeBob/Sesame Street crossover flick."
Doug Walker was elected Mayor of Chicago because of his role as Chester A. Bum; during his time as Mayor, he reviewed Son of Svengoolie as the Nostalgia Critic and legalized all of the things Chester A. Bum does.
Barney the Dinosaur was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for "loving us all." Barney ended his acceptance speech with a sing-along of "I Love You", followed by an autograph session with him and Dennis Anderson.
==Home Video Releases==
The film was released on Blu-Ray on October 24, 2035 under the title of The TriangleBob TrianglePants Movie, it features the Unrated Writer & Director's Cut with 5 more minutes of Looney Bird saying science mumbo-jumbo, an extended version of SpongeBob and TriangleBob's rap battle and re-added deleted scenes, as well as the regular version of the film. There are also special features including the entire discography of Evanescence, every episode of Chappelle's Show, a sing-along version of "Disco Duck" featuring Rolfe DeWolfe, a video of Aaron Fetcher forcing FNAF fanboys to eat 50-year old Surströmming, and a dramatic reading of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure-related comments on YouTube uploads of classic rock songs.
==Reception==
Unlike The Curse of the Half-Blood Princess or Something, the film received generally positive reviews. Critics praised the actors' performances and the more fluent & higher-budget animation; they criticized the overuse of Patchy the Pirate and the limited shouting from Billy Mays.
