A Day With SpongeBob SquarePants: The Movie

*A Day With SpongeBob SquarePants: The Movie* is a Direct-To-DVD documentary film that was meant to be released by Reagal Films and MVD. It was originally scheduled to be released in 2011. It's only known to exist because of an Amazon listing being found around 2014.

## Plot

In this mockumentary, SpongeBob lives above ground like all Hollywood superstars. Afraid that SpongeBob is becoming old news, his boss runs a contest called "Spend a Day with SpongeBob". The contest makes SpongeBob the talk of the town, as thousands of kids enter to win. The lucky winner is Seth, and he is ecstatic about his day with SpongeBob. However, the day becomes a roller coaster ride as things do not go quite the way they planned.

## Aleged Script

Opening shot: SpongeBob is walking down the street when he sees a young boy wearing a SpongeBob t-shirt and carrying a SpongeBob lunchbox.

SpongeBob: (excitedly) Hey there, little dude! I love your outfit.

Boy: (shyly) Th-thank you, SpongeBob. I'm a big fan of yours.

SpongeBob: (grinning) That's great to hear! What's your name?

Boy: My name is Seth.

SpongeBob: Well, Seth, it's nice to meet you. Do you want to hang out with me for the day?

Seth: (gasps) Really? That would be amazing!

SpongeBob and Seth spend the day together, doing all sorts of fun activities, like making Krabby Patties, going jellyfishing, and singing the SpongeBob theme song. Seth is overjoyed to be spending time with his hero, and SpongeBob is happy to have such an enthusiastic fan.

However, things take a turn when Seth starts to take his fandom a little too far. He begins to dress like SpongeBob, talk like SpongeBob, and even imitate SpongeBob's laugh. SpongeBob is a little taken aback by this behavior, but he tries to be understanding.

SpongeBob: (gently) Seth, it's great that you love me and all, but you don't have to copy everything I do. You should be yourself, because that's what makes you special.

Seth: (upset) But I want to be just like you, SpongeBob! You're the coolest person in the world!

SpongeBob realizes that he needs to set a better example for his fans, and he decides to show Seth the importance of being true to oneself. They go on a quest to find Seth's true passion, and eventually discover that he's an excellent artist.

SpongeBob: (smiling) See, Seth? You have your own unique talents and abilities. You don't have to be like me to be cool.

Seth: (happily) You're right, SpongeBob! I'm going to work on my art and make you proud.

In the end, Seth and SpongeBob part ways, with Seth feeling more confident and self-assured than ever before. SpongeBob is happy to have helped a young fan find his true calling, and he knows that he has a responsibility to inspire others to be their best selves.

The episode ends with SpongeBob walking down the street, whistling his signature tune, and feeling grateful for the love and support of his fans.

## Why It Was Cancelled

1. A crowdfunding effort, that marketed the film as a "mockumentary", halted the film's production.
2. A lawsuit by Viacom and Nickelodeon went through much of the film's troubled production, and the creators of ADWSS were sued for copyright.

## Results

* The director of the film, known as "Mr. Orange," planned to revive the film with a fund effort, however, this fact has been proven fake.
* The film was permanently cancelled.

## Trivia

* The little boy on the poster is not an actor in the film, but a GettyImages stock PNG.
* A company with the name “Inovisim Films,” the name shown on the box art, doesn’t exist, and is one of the many fake names used by Reagal Films.
	+ Along with this, no people with the names shown on the poster have any known correlation with the film.
* Apparently, the official Reagal Films website included maleware at some point.
