The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie (2004)

This Movie Is The Worst Ever And The Worst I Have Dealt With. The Characters Are Dumb (Especially SpongeBob), The Writers Are Lazy, And The Animation Is Mediocre. I Only Recommend This To Anyone Who's A Fan Of Ugly Cartoon Movies. Otherwise, Watch The Incredibles Instead.

SpongeBob SquarePants takes leave from the town of Bikini Bottom in order to track down King Neptune's stolen crown. If you loved the TV show you won't be disappointed by this film because it's truly hilarious from moments such as David Hasselhoff's Baywatch cameo to Spongebob and Patrick singing the Goofy Gooper song and even driving a a strange car that is made of a sandwich it's childish and super funny but it also has a lot of adventure and the plot was pretty hilarious with King Napture and the crown just hilarious especially when Spongebob started singing again it became even better. This is a movie that both kids and parents can actually enjoy!!

The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie is a fantastic movie with a really well developed storyline and an outstanding voice cast. It's a very fun film from start to finish that the entire family can easily enjoy, I grew up watching this movie and seeing it today serves as huge nostalgia, it still holds up and it is definitely very pleasing for fans of the television series. The only thing that I noticed while watching this movie today is that there are several plot holes, obviously this movie is aimed at children and they wouldn't take any notice, but for grown ups they can be ridiculously obvious, the most obvious one being that it makes no sense that Plankton would give them the actual location of King Neptune's crown, if he wanted to rule Bikini Bottom then there is no logic to why he would put SpongeBob and Patrick on the right track, also the characters nearly die after being exposed to sunlight for just a few seconds, but then they're running around outside on a sunny day without hesitation, this kind of stuff certainly had me bewildered, but it is only a cartoon at the end of the day. The characters are fantastic, I grew up watching SpongeBob, Patrick, Mr Krabs, Squidward, Plankton, among many others and they have a very special place in my heart, and here they are supported by a star studded cast that all seemed very interested in their roles, Jeffrey Tambor, Scarlett Johansson, Alec Baldwin and David Hasselhoff, appearing as himself in the only live action role, are all fantastic and it never came across in their performances that they were only doing it for the paycheck. Very funny for all ages, filled with great musical numbers and charming characters, I would recommend the SpongeBob SquarePants Movie to anyone looking for a good family film. SpongeBob and his best pal Patrick embark on a quest to clear the name of Mr. Krabs, who has been framed for stealing the crown of King Neptune.

SpongeBob in a movie, this is a true study of marine life from the perspective of a French narrator and a load of pirates. Well OK no it isn't but the SpongeBob SqaurePants movie is a great little creation at the bottom of the sea, are the jokes on point?, Well not all of them and is the story greatly fun?, Not always but even so I enjoyed myself here, not the kind of downright crying with laughter enjoyment but there is some stupid stuff in here to make you giggle.We see the little yellow sponge go on an adventure to find a crown with his best mate Patrick the starfish and all well as you might expect does not go to plan. The story plays out a little rushed and with that said the movie is only 88 minutes long, but even if the story is rushed the running time seems just fine. I think the movie could have tried to stretch itself too much and ended up too bloated but by the end you feel happy enough that you have seen an OK movie (well I did anyway).Although I will credit Tom Kenny(SpongeBob) and Bill Fagerbakke(Patrick) for creating unique voices, they are some of the most annoying voices ever after too long on the screen. The screeching and shouting that these two give off is enough to kill your eardrums, the jokes don't always play on loud screams but sometimes they actually do! Now I this movie is a nice go along on a journey kind of film, a genuine road trip from two genuine animated friends and also a load of baddies thrown in too, good fun indeed. I think the animated TV show maybe benefits slightly more from this brand of humour so it can be made more compact, but nevertheless the movie is still fitted in nicely and well timed throughout.Stephen Hillenburg directs well and to be honest I would say 80% of what is funny in this is down to him, he not only works well within the script but also seems to work the right movements from the characters to make it fast but not so fast you miss it. The writing is a little sloppy, again it works well in the show but the film can feel like a step too far at times, but does finish up nicely. I wasn't too keen on the more childish elements that can be seen throughout, it is by no means constant but does come in bits and pieces and really made the film look too much geared toward children.On that last point, the recommendations. Sure kids are going to maybe like this, even have a blast and if they are fans of the show, then let them watch this now. For other older fans of the show then sure this is good fun and contains laughs everywhere dotted around just as randomly as creatures are on sea floor itself. I did think that the movie doesn't show the characters that are in the TV show enough in the movie but by the end you don't really care, a fun plot with a fun end.Overall an animation that is by no means bad, but by no means incredible, a kind of good mix of alright and pretty good. Watch it with a slight smile on your face and never ever take it seriously or you will want to destroy this, just be silly and if you can't then, try and get into silly mode because this is one strange ride.
