Well folks time to chow down on your Krabby Patties, curl up in your favorite armchair in your pineapple under the sea, and issue a high pitched laugh. The trailer for THE SPONGEBOB MOVIE: SPONGE ON THE RUN has made its way online!
It's hard to believe, but the television show starring the eponymous yellow sponge and Krusty Krab employee, just celebrated twenty years on the small screen. Spanning twelve seasons and over 251 episodes and counting, the adventures of Spongebob, Squidward, Patrick, Mr. Krabs, Sandy, and Plankton have delighted millions of children and perpetual stoners. The show has also generated an astounding $13 billion in merchandising revenue for Nickelodeon. George Lucas eat your heart out.
There's been two previous Spongebob centered films, 2004's THE SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS MOVIE and 2015's THE SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS MOVIE: SPONGE OUT OF WATER. However, this third film is special in that it will be the first adventure rendered completely in CGI. If you're curious as to why Spongebob is on the run in this next film,here's a brief synopsis:
SpongeBob SquarePants, his best friend Patrick Star and the rest of the gang from Bikini Bottom hit the big screen in the first-ever all CGI SpongeBob motion picture event. After SpongeBob’s beloved pet snail Gary is snail-napped, he and Patrick embark on an epic adventure to The Lost City of Atlantic City to bring Gary home. As they navigate the delights and dangers on this perilous and hilarious rescue mission, SpongeBob and his pals prove there’s nothing stronger than the power of friendship.
Oh no. Not Gary. NOT GARY!!!!! I suspect that the devious Plankton may be behind this nefarious deed.
