The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water

**The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water** is an ULTRA-famous movie of *SpongeBob SquarePants*. It is the sequel to The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.

## Why do people like this movie?

1. Like the first film, it stays completely faithful to the TV series.
2. Great mix of CGI and 2D animation.
	* The CGI animation is spectacular and fits the world of SpongeBob quite well.
	* The 2D animation is outstanding and a considerable upgrade from the show, especially since SpongeBob's animation at the time lacked energy and was rather dull compared to Seasons 1-5. On the side note, it really interesting that the 2D animation have been returned for four years earlier.
3. Great soundtrack by John Debney.
4. Burgerbeard is an impressive villain, thanks to Antonio Banderas, who voice Puss in Boots from *Shrek* franchise.
5. The seagulls are decently entertaining characters.
6. Catchy songs, such as "Squeeze Me" by N.E.R.D.
7. The plot was well executed, despite the movie being made in both traditional animation, live-action and CGI.
8. Thanks to Stereo D, it converts hand-drawn animation, from 2D to *eye-popping* stereoscopic 3D. Even the 2D animation was filmed in 3D.
9. Great use of slapstick and meta humor.
10. Several popular characters are given more substantial roles than the first movie, most notably Sandy Cheeks, who had only three scenes and two lines in the first film, now is a major protagonist alongside SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, and Mr. Krabs. The latter two, while their roles were fairly substantial in the first film, are likewise elevated to being major protagonists.
11. The superhero designs of SpongeBob, Sandy, Patrick, Plankton, Squidward and Mr. Krabs are fantastic!
12. Despite the first half of Season 9 being decent (even though there are a few episodes that weren't well received), this movie might have brought SpongeBob back to its former glory after its dark age from Seasons 6-8.
13. The protagonists are at their **absolute best** in this sequel:
	* SpongeBob and Patrick, once again, for going on another adventure and saving their town and the Krabby Patty formula from Burgerbeard, along with their friends.
	* Likewise, Sandy, Squidward and even Mr. Krabs have the same reasons above, helping out the duo, and Mr. Krabs also has his old persona from Seasons 1-5 in this film.
	* Plankton is at his most greatest as a protagonist, as he puts aside his differences with his enemies to help them save his home as well.
14. In the beginning of the exclusive song, "Thank Gosh It's Monday", a few references to the classic era of SpongeBob are made, in which is quite impressive.
15. Seagulls played by actors American, Australian or British seem actually really good.
16. The guest actors deserved a lot of credit when they took part in this movie, especially Billy West (the voice of both Ren (Seasons 3-5) and Stimpy from The Ren and Stimpy Show, Woody Woodpecker in The New Woody Woodpecker Show and Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd in some Looney Tunes movies), Nolan North and Kevin Michael Richardson.
17. SpongeBob's voice is so good that it represents his voice in the first three seasons of the show, and to a lesser extend, seasons 8-present, and he sounds much better than in the first movie.
18. After the release of this film, SpongeBob SquarePants has been very well received and is a major step up from the show's dark age.
19. The cinematography is flawlessly great.
20. Overall, it was the good way to introduce the brand new animation company for major studios: Paramount Animation, although most of their later films aren't as good as this.

## The Only Bad Qualitiy

1. Some Characters are not very likable during the apocalypse scenes, for example.
	* Patrick's Flanderization is somewhat presented in the movie has he betrayed SpongeBob by trying to give him away to the angry mob.

## Trivia

After this movie, the show has ***redeemed*** itself. Creating a "***Renaissance*** Era" for SpongeBob.
