Plot

A group of pirates get tickets to The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie from a treasure chest. The pirates then sing the 'SpongeBob SquarePants Theme Song,' enter a movie theater, raid it, and sit down to watch the movie.

The movie properly begins with an emergency situation at the Krusty Krab, complete with police helicopters and news reporters. Suddenly, SpongeBob SquarePants, 'the manager,' arrives in a sleek sports car. Mr. Krabs says that it started with a simple order, a Krabby Patty with cheese. 'When the customer took a bite, NO CHEESE!' Mr. Krabs starts crying, leading SpongeBob to slap him. He enters the Krusty Krab and meets a guy named Phil, who was involved in the situation. SpongeBob then opens his suitcase, takes out a pair of tweezers, and puts cheese on the Krabby Patty. The day is saved, and the crowd starts cheering for SpongeBob. Their cheers soon degenerate to the sound of SpongeBob's alarm clock, and he wakes up, revealing the opening scene to be a dream.

SpongeBob is extremely excited, as today is the grand opening of 'The Krusty Krab 2,' and he's going to be the new manager and prepares himself for the day. Patrick Star's rock lifts up, and Patrick congratulates SpongeBob says that to celebrate, they're going to go to 'Goofy Goober's Ice Cream Party Boat.' SpongeBob and Patrick sing the Goofy Goober theme song, and afterwards, SpongeBob goes off to the Krusty Krab. Plankton envies Mr. Krabs, and states he tried every plan in his cabinet from 'A to Y'. There are actually 26 letters of the alphabet, and Plankton doesn't notice it at first, but Karen, his computer wife, tells him. Plankton finds 'Plan Z' in the back of the drawer. He thinks it's his best plan yet. He goes outside, only to be stepped on by SpongeBob. He pulls Plankton off his shoe, and asks him if he's going to the grand opening ceremony. Plankton replies that he's busy planning word domination, but SpongeBob doesn't understand this and walks off. Meanwhile, Mr. Krabs is preparing the grand opening ceremony of the Krusty Krab 2, which is an exact replica of the original and is located directly next-door to it, the only difference being a giant glowing '2' sign. Thinking that he would be the new manager of the restaurant, SpongeBob rushes up to the stage to accept his promotion, but Mr. Krabs announces that Squidward is the new manager instead, much to SpongeBob's shock. Mr. Krabs tells a heartbroken SpongeBob, who realized that Krabs lied, that he is too immature and childlike to handle the task, and SpongeBob sulks away, saying 'I'm ready ... depression.' Patrick suddenly flies by, naked, with a SpongeBob banner in his butt, and crashes into the set, causing a fire.

Later, Plankton flies towards King Neptune's castle, as part of 'Plan Z'. Inside, Neptune is attempting to punish his royal crown polisher for touching his crown, but is stopped by his intelligent daughter, Mindy. The brutish and tyrannical king tries to explain to his daughter that he must enforce his power as king in order to be respected, and that she will have to do the same when she is Queen. He begins to explain the importance of his crown, and as he talks, Plankton arrives and steals it. Neptune, who is bald, is horrified to discover that his crown is missing, Plankton having stolen it.

Meanwhile, SpongeBob is at Goofy Goober Ice Cream Party Boat brooding over his loss. Patrick arrives thinking SpongeBob is the manager, but he was told the truth about being a kid SpongeBob starts to leave, but then Patrick gets a Triple Gooberberry Sunrise, and SpongeBob comes back. They begin to eat dozens of Surprises burying the waiter in ice cream continuously saying 'waiter'. The two become 'drunk' from all the ice cream, and SpongeBob falls asleep in the restaurant, experiencing hangover-like symptoms the morning afterwards.

Later, Neptune arrives at the Krusty Krab 2 after receiving evidence planted by Plankton of Mr. Krabs stealing his crown, which is a note, saying, 'I stole your crown. Signed, Eugene Krabs'. Krabs denies stealing the crown, but a message then plays on the phone of a man thanking Mr. Krabs for giving him the crown and saying that he sold it to Shell City. This call is actually from Plankton. Having to hear that his crown is in the 'forbidden' Shell City, Neptune gets extremely angry and plans to burn Mr. Krabs to a crisp; but before doing that, Neptune asks if anyone has anything to say to defend Mr. Krabs, and a 'drunken' SpongeBob arrives and bad-mouths Mr. Krabs for not giving him the manager job. Neptune then burns Krabs, but Krabs plunges into a barrel filled with water. Upon realizing the severity of the situation, SpongeBob returns to his normal self and stops Neptune from executing him. Mindy convinces her father to give SpongeBob a chance to prove Krab's innocence, and he and Patrick agree to travel to the dreaded Shell City, and return with the crown. Before departing, Mr. Krabs is frozen solid by King Neptune, and Mindy, who Patrick develops a crush on, gives the duo a magical bag of winds to return home with and warned about the trip.

With six days to retrieve the crown (there were originally ten until King Neptune and Patrick argued it down to six), SpongeBob and Patrick take the 'Patty Wagon,' a car shaped like a Krabby Patty. They soon reach a gas station located on the county line, where the hillbilly owners laugh at them, finding the duo and their vehicle stupid. They tell SpongeBob and Patrick that they wouldn't last for ten seconds over the county line. When SpongeBob and Patrick cross the line, their car is immediately stolen by a thug. SpongeBob and Patrick then realize that they lasted for twelve seconds, and begin laughing at the hillbillies, who are dumbfounded by their idiocy, as they continue on foot. Later, they find their car parked at the 'Thug Tug,' a bar for tough, muscular fish. SpongeBob has Patrick distract the thugs so he can get the key. (Unfortunately, Patrick just said: 'I have to go to the bathroom,' making SpongeBob unsuccessful, and getting his hands dirty in the process.) SpongeBob heads for the bathroom to wash his hands, and when he uses the soap dispenser, it produces bubbles. SpongeBob and Patrick begin having a 'Bubble Party,' but one bubble floats over to the leader of the 'Thug Tug,' who reminds the other bar patrons of the policy that all 'Bubble Blowing Babies' will be severely beaten. The leader goes on a 'Bubble Blowing Baby Hunt' by turning on the Goofy Goober Theme song, where the first person to start singing is determined to be the culprit. SpongeBob and Patrick struggle not to start singing, then the owner starts singing it to SpongeBob and Patrick, causing SpongeBob's eyes to water and Patrick to start melting, and they are only saved when Siamese Twins burst out in song. The other thugs begin beating them, allowing SpongeBob and Patrick to steal the key amidst the confusion and depart.

Back in Bikini Bottom, Plankton, with Mr. Krabs incapacitated, obtains the Krabby Patty secret formula and begins serving Krabby Patties at the Chum Bucket. He stole the formula by sneaking by Mr. Krabs while he was frozen, went into his office, entered the safe code and stole the formula. Plankton starts selling Krabby Patties at the Chum Bucket, along with free bucket helmets. He has also learned about SpongeBob and Patrick are trying to get the crown back and hires a professional hitman named Dennis to ensure that SpongeBob and Patrick do not reach Shell City. The next day, Squidward sees that everyone is wearing helmet buckets and after a woman tells him that Plankton is giving them away for free with the Krabby Patties, he goes to confront Plankton, telling him that Plankton was the one who stole King Neptune's the crown to get the Krabby Patties formula and decides to report him to King Neptune, but before he leaves the Chum Bucket, Plankton activates a mind-control device, revealing that the bucket helmets are acually mind controlling helmets that can cause everyone to repeatedly quote 'All, hail, Plankton' and turn them into slaves. Squidward tries to escape, but the enslaved citizens corner and capture him, taking down the last opposition to Plankton in Bikini Bottom and transforms the city into 'Planktopolis'.

SpongeBob and Patrick are traveling through a field of skulls, laughing over their victory at the Thug Tug. They see an Ice Cream Stand, but when SpongeBob goes to order, the old lady running the stand is revealed to be the tongue of a monstrous Frogfish using the Ice Cream Stand as bait. SpongeBob and Patrick are chased by a large sea monster, eventually driving off a cliff and getting out of the car just in time. The Frogfish is lured off the edge, and subsequently is eaten by an even larger beast that is a gigantic sea serpent that appears from the trench. Unable to pass through a monster-filled trench, SpongeBob decides to give up and accepts the fact that he and Patrick are just children. However, Mindy arrives and shows them what has happened to Bikini Bottom while they were gone, and gives them fake mustaches in the form of seaweed, convincing them that they are now men. SpongeBob and Patrick pass through the trench without fear (singing 'Now That We're Men'), but meet up with Dennis on the other side. He rips off their fake mustaches and explains to them that they are not really men, and prepares to kill them by crushing them under his boot. However, before he can do so, Dennis himself is crushed by a gigantic boot, belonging to a monstrous scuba diver known as 'The Cyclops,' who abducts SpongeBob and Patrick to the surface.

SpongeBob and Patrick wake up in a goldfish bowl filled with freshwater and sedimentary pebbles. They see the Cyclops making 'knick-knacks' from dead sea creatures, much to their horror, and are soon taken out of the bowl and put on a table under a heat lamp, and start to dry up. Soon, SpongeBob laments that they have failed, and that Bikini Bottom will remain under Plankton's mind control, Mr. Krabs will be executed, and they too will die. Patrick points out a sign reading 'Shell City: Marine Gifts and Sundries'. SpongeBob realizes that they are in Shell City, which is in fact a gift shop. They see the crown, and SpongeBob then realizes that they did at least make it to Shell City, and did pretty well for 'a couple of goofballs.' They both shed a tear and begin singing the Goofy Goober song, just as they shrivel up. Back in the movie theater, all the pirates mourn the apparent death of SpongeBob and Patrick, but a talking parrot points out that the movie isn't over yet and they continue watching it. The 'Tear of the Goofy Goobers' slides down a wire into the power outlet, which short-circuits and lets out smoke rising up and activating the sprinkler system, and causes all the sea creatures to reanimate. As the sea creatures (which include a mariachi band playing a song from Mexico) beat up 'The Cyclops,' SpongeBob and Patrick grab the crown and carry it out to the beach. There, SpongeBob reads the manual of the Bag of Winds, and Patrick accidentally releases it, leaving them stranded on the beach. However, David Hasselhoff spots them, arrives and carries them across the ocean on his back.

On the way back home, the big boot belonging to the same diver that kidnapped them, rises up sea, and an angry Dennis, who 'The Cyclops' has actually stepped on, emerges from below it, intent on finishing the job Plankton gave him and goes after Patrick and SpongeBob with his dagger in hand (much to Hasselhoff's discomfort). He corners SpongeBob, who attempts to reason with Dennis (by bribing him with five Goober dollars); Dennis is uninterested, so SpongeBob proceeds to make more offers - including a bubble-blower that sends a stream of bubbles to Dennis's eyes, blinding him and making him even angrier. But just as he is about to stomp on them with his boot, he ends up getting knocked into the ocean by a floating sailboat. As the duo arrive over Bikini Bottom, King Neptune is about to execute Mr. Krabs, but is being stalled by Mindy. Hasselhoff opens his pectoral muscles and prepares countdown and shoots the duo down into Bikini Bottom at fast speed, where they crash through the roof of the Krusty Krab, the crown deflecting the trident blast that nearly kills Mr. Krabs, and ends up burning Hasselhoff. Unfortunately, that doesn't stop Plankton, who dumps a King-sized Chum Bucket Helmet on Neptune, also putting him under his control. As Plankton's minions surround the heroes, SpongeBob realized that Plankton didn't care whether Krabs should be fried or not he just wanted the power of the seas under his control, having used the theft of the crown to lure Neptune into the trap, thus he cheated. Plankton doubts to him to cheating, and he states to him that he is an evil genius and SpongeBob is just a kid---a stupid kid. SpongeBob makes a speech about being who you are, before transforming in a wizard and breaking out into 'Goofy Goober Rock' (based on Twisted Sister's 'I Wanna Rock') using his electric guitar's laser beams to destroy all the brain-control buckets with. Plankton is trampled before he can escape, and the cops put him in a little cage and take him away.

Neptune reaches an understanding not only with Mr. Krabs, but also with his daughter, and thanks SpongeBob and Patrick. He then turns to leave, but Mindy reminds him about Mr. Krabs. He unfreezes Mr. Krabs, turning him into a fat little boy. Neptune then reveals that he had his trident set to 'Real Boy Ending', and turns Mr. Krabs back to a crab. Squidward suggests to SpongeBob that he has learned that he doesn't really need to be the manager of the Krusty Krab 2, but SpongeBob eagerly takes the position anyway. Images shown throughout the end credits shown the sole two differences between the job of manager and fry-cook is that there is a giant hat with the word manager imprinted on it and an extra cent in his paycheck. Nonetheless, SpongeBob takes on the role of manager of the Krusty Krab 2 with great pride, as the film signifies the conclusion of the franchise's story.

In a post-credits scene, back in the theater the usher tells the pirates to leave the theater so she can clean up the mess they left.

Production

Development

The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie was a long-planned production, since Nickelodeon and Paramount Pictures had been approaching series creator Stephen Hillenburg to do a film on the show but he refused for more than a year.^[1] Hillenburg was worried about doing this, after watching The Iron Giant and Toy Story with his sons, because he conceived that it would be a challenge to give the characters of SpongeBob and Patrick something more cinematically consequential and inspiring to do, as long as it could be done without losing what he calls the SpongeBob 'cadence.'^[1] He said, while taking a break from his post-production labors, where he was also working on the fourth season, 'To do a 75-minute movie about SpongeBob wanting to make some jellyfish jelly would be a mistake, I think [...] This had to be SpongeBob in a great adventure. That's where the comedy's coming from, having these two naïve characters, SpongeBob and Patrick, a doofus and an idiot, on this incredibly dangerous heroic odyssey with all the odds against them.'^[1]

'I never wanted to do a movie because I didn't think that what we wanted to say needed to be in a movie. I like the short form for animation. Then this story idea came up that lent itself to a longer format. You can't do a road trip adventure in a short form.' ―Stephen Hillenburg[2]

In 2002, Hillenburg and the show's staff members decided to stop making episodes to work on the film, after completing the show's third season.^[2] The film's plot originally had SpongeBob save Patrick from a fisherman in Florida.^[2] The obvious reference to the 2003 film Finding Nemo was later revealed by Tom Kenny, voice of SpongeBob, that it was a 'joke' plot to keep the fans busy.^[2] To write the film, Hillenburg sat with five other writer-animators who had worked on the show including Paul Tibbitt, Derek Drymon, Aaron Springer, Kent Osborne and Tim Hill in a room in a former bank in Glendale, California for three months.^[1] Osbore said 'It was hugely fun [...] although it did get kind of gamy in there.'^[1] For the film, the writers concocted a mythical hero's quest, a search for a stolen crown that takes SpongeBob and Patrick to the surface. The idea interested Hillenburg to do the feature film with the characters.^[3]Bill Fagerbakke, the voice of Patrick, on the idea, said 'It's just nuts. I'm continually dazzled and delighted with what these guys came up with.'^[3]

Once the film was completed, Hillenburg wanted to end the series 'so the show wouldn't jump the shark,' but Nickelodeon wanted to do more episodes. Hillenburg said 'Well, there was concern when we did the movie [in 2004] that the show had peaked. There were concerns among executives at Nickelodeon.'^[4][5] Hillenburg resigned as the series' showrunner,^[6] and appointed Paul Tibbitt, who previously served as the show's supervising producer, writer, director, and storyboard artist, to overtake the role.^[7] Hillenburg considered Tibbitt one of his favorite members of the show's crew,^[8] and 'totally trusted him [Paul Tibbitt].'^[9] Tibbitt still holds the showrunner position and also functions as an executive producer.^[7][10] Hillenburg no longer writes or runs the show on a day-to-day basis, but reviews each episode and delivers suggestions. He said 'I figure when I'm pretty old I can still paint[...] I don't know about running shows.'^[6][11]Tom Kenny and Bill Fagerbakke and the rest of the crew confirmed they have completed four new episodes for broadcast on Nickelodeon in early 2005,^[12][13] and planned to finish about 20 total for the then-fourth season.^[12][13]

During the production, Jules Engel, Hillenburg's mentor while he was studying experimental animation at the California Institute of the Arts, died in September 2003.^[14] Hillenburg decided to dedicate the film to him and said 'He truly was the most influential artistic person in my life. I consider him my 'Art Dad.'^[15][16][17]

Filming

The film featured live-action scenes directed by Mark Osborne in Santa Monica, California.^[3][18] During the 30-second opening of the film featuring the pirates singing the theme, the ship vessel used was the Bounty.^[19][20] The 180-ft long vessel was an enlarged reconstruction of the original 1787 Royal Navy sailing ship HMS Bounty built for the 1962 film Mutiny on the Bounty, and has also appeared in films such as Treasure Island, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.^[21][22]

Baywatch and Knight Rider star David Hasselhoff made a cameo in the live action scenes where he offered SpongeBob and Patrick a way to Bikini Bottom.^[23] Originally, the writers wrote the scene without asking Hasselhoff.^[12][13] Hillenburg was very happy after he finished roughing out the storyboards for it.^[24]Sherm Cohen, the lead storyboard artist, said 'He had been wrestling with the ending for quite a while, and finally he was ready to pitch his ideas to some of the other board artists.'^[24] Hillenburg was dependent on casting Hasselhoff and the first question to him was, 'So, do we have Hasselhoff?'^[24] Hillenburg said 'No' with a grin.^[24] Eventually, Hasselhoff said 'I'm in' even he did not saw the material.^[12][13] Hillenburg said 'He's a great guy[...] He was great at making fun of himself.'^[12][13]

To complete the scene where Hasselhoff swims to the sea without hurting him, the film crew built a 750-pound, 12-foot replica of him.^[18][23][25] The replica costs $100,000 and is now at Hasselhoff's residence.^[26] Hasselhoff said 'It freaked me out because it was so lifelike, with teeth, when you touch it feels like real skin. It's soft, like your skin.'^[26] When and the rest of the crew completed filming, he said 'That's ridiculously awesome. What are you gonna do with it?'^[26] Hasselhoff was asked if he want to keep the replica and he said 'Uh, yeah. Okay.'^[26] Hasselhoff also did takes in cold water where he was pulled by a sled nine yards across the sea.^[3][23] He described the experience as 'Cold but lot of fun.'^[27]

Plot

A group of pirates get tickets to watch SpongeBob SquarePants The Movie from a treasure chest. The pirates then sing the 'SpongeBob SquarePants Theme Song,' enter a movie theater, raid it, and sit down to watch the movie.

The Spongebob Squarepants Movie Game Xbox 360

The movie properly begins with an emergency at the Krusty Krab, complete with police helicopters, large crowds, and news reporters. Suddenly, SpongeBob SquarePants, 'the manager,' arrives in a sleek, awesome sports car. Mr. Krabs says that it started with a simple order, a Krabby Patty with cheese. 'When the customer took a bite, no cheese!' Mr. Krabs starts crying, leading SpongeBob to slap him. He enters the Krusty Krab and meets a fish named Phil. SpongeBob then opens his suitcase, takes out a pair of tweezers, and dramatically puts cheese on the Krabby Patty. The day is saved, and the crowd starts cheering for SpongeBob. Their cheers soon degenerate to the sound of SpongeBob's alarm clock, and he wakes up, revealing the opening scene to be a dream.

SpongeBob is extremely excited, as today is the grand opening of the 'Krusty Krab 2,' and he is confident he will be chosen as the new manager and prepares himself for the day. Patrick Star's rock lifts up, and Patrick congratulates SpongeBob, saying that to celebrate, they are going to go to Goofy Goober's Ice Cream Party Boat after work. SpongeBob and Patrick sing the Goofy Goober theme song, and afterwards, SpongeBob goes off to the Krusty Krab. Plankton envies Mr. Krabs, and states he tried every plan in his cabinet from 'A to Y.' There are actually 26 letters of the alphabet, and Plankton does not notice it at first, but Karen, his computer wife, tells him. Plankton finds 'Plan Z' in the back of the drawer. He thinks it is his best plan yet. He goes outside, only to be stepped on by SpongeBob. He pulls Plankton off his shoe, and asks him if he is going to the 'grand opening ceremony.' Plankton replies, 'No, I am not going to the 'grand opening ceremony'! I'm busy planning to rule the world! Ha, ha, ha!' SpongeBob does not understand this, wishes Plankton luck, then runs off again, leaving Plankton to walk away saying, 'Stupid kid.' Meanwhile, Mr. Krabs is preparing the grand opening ceremony of the Krusty Krab 2, which is an exact replica of the original and is located directly next-door to it, the only difference being a giant glowing '2' on the Krusty Krab sign. SpongeBob rushes up to the stage to accept his promotion, but Mr. Krabs announces that Squidward is the new manager instead, much to SpongeBob's shock. Mr. Krabs tells a heartbroken SpongeBob that he is too immature and childish to handle the task, and SpongeBob sulks away, saying 'I'm ready ... depression.' Patrick suddenly flies by laughing, naked, with a SpongeBob banner in his bum crack, and crashes into the set, causing a fire.

Later, Plankton flies towards King Neptune's castle, as part of 'Plan Z.' Inside, Neptune is attempting to punish his royal crown polisher for touching his crown, but his more intelligent daughter, Princess Mindy, stops him. The brutish and tyrannical king tries to explain to his daughter that he must enforce his power as king in order to be respected, and that she will have to do the same when she is Queen. He begins to explain the importance of his crown, and as he talks, Plankton arrives and steals it. Neptune, who is 'bald,' (but he only has hair on his side) is horrified to discover that his crown is missing, Plankton having stolen it.

Meanwhile, SpongeBob is at Goofy Goober Ice Cream Party Boat brooding over his loss. Patrick arrives thinking SpongeBob is the manager, but he was told the truth about being a kid SpongeBob starts to leave, but then Patrick gets a Triple Gooberberry Sunrise, and SpongeBob comes back. They begin to eat dozens of Surprises burying the waiter in ice cream continuously saying 'waiter.' The two become drunk from all the ice cream, and SpongeBob falls asleep in the restaurant, experiencing hangover-like symptoms the morning afterwards.

Meanwhile, Neptune arrives at the Krusty Krab after receiving evidence planted by Plankton of Mr. Krabs stealing his crown, which is a note, saying, 'I stole your crown. Signed, Eugene Krabs.' Krabs denies stealing the crown, but a message then plays on the phone of a man thanking Mr. Krabs for giving him the crown and saying that he sold it to Shell City. This call is actually from Plankton. Neptune gets frustrated and plans to burn Mr. Krabs. However, before doing that, Neptune asks if anyone has anything to say to defend Mr. Krabs, and a 'drunken' SpongeBob arrives and bad-mouths Mr. Krabs for not giving him the manager job, saying, 'I've worked for Mr. Krabs for many years, and always thought he was a great boss. I now realize that he's a great big jerk! I deserved that manager job, but you didn't give it to me because you said I'm a kid! Well, I am 100 percent man, and this man has something to say to you!” He blows a long raspberry and then finishes his statement, “There! I think I made my point!' Neptune burns Mr. Krabs, but Mr. Krabs plunges into a barrel filled with water. Upon realizing the severity of the situation, SpongeBob returns to his normal self and refuses to let Neptune kill him. Neptune then prepares to fry them both, but Mindy convinces her father to give SpongeBob a chance to prove Mr. Krabs' innocence. Neptune orders SpongeBob to be back with his crown in 6 days (it was originally going to be 10 but Patrick appeared out of nowhere and argued it down to 6). SpongeBob and Patrick agree to travel to the dreaded Shell City, and return with the crown, and freezes Krabs right there until the crown is returned. Squidward panics, mostly over his paycheck not being signed. Originally SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward go on the trip, but the latter refuses and walked out of the Krusty Krab. Mindy, whom Patrick develops a crush on, gives SpongeBob and Patrick a magical bag of winds to return home with and warned about the trip.

With 6 days to retrieve the crown (there were originally 10 until King Neptune and Patrick argued it down to 6), SpongeBob and Patrick take the 'Patty Wagon,' a car shaped like a Krabby Patty. They soon reach a gas station located on the county line, where the hillbilly owners laugh at them, finding the duo and their vehicle stupid. They tell SpongeBob and Patrick that they would not last for ten seconds over the county line. When SpongeBob and Patrick cross the line, a thug immediately steals their car. SpongeBob and Patrick then realize that they lasted for twelve seconds, and begin laughing at the hillbillies, who are dumbfounded by their idiocy, as they continue on foot. Later, they find their car parked at the 'Thug Tug,' a bar for tough, muscular fish. SpongeBob has Patrick distract the thugs so he can get the key. (Unfortunately, Patrick just said, 'I have to go to the bathroom,' making SpongeBob unsuccessful, and getting his hands dirty in the process.) SpongeBob heads for the bathroom and criticizes Patrick for this, as the latter realizes his mistake. SpongeBob then washes his hands, and when he uses the soap dispenser, it produces bubbles. SpongeBob and Patrick begin having a 'Bubble Party,' but one bubble floats over to the leader of the 'Thug Tug,' who reminds the other bar patrons of the policy that all 'Bubble Blowing Babies' will be severely beaten. The leader goes on a 'Bubble Blowing Baby Hunt' by turning on the Goofy Goober Theme song, where the first person to start singing is determined to be the culprit. SpongeBob and Patrick struggle not to start singing, then the owner notices their strain and starts singing it to SpongeBob and Patrick in a mocking tone, causing SpongeBob's eyes to water and Patrick to start melting. Just as they are about to sing, they are saved when Siamese Twins burst out in song. The other thugs begin beating them, allowing SpongeBob and Patrick to steal the key amid the confusion and depart.

By the following day, Plankton, with Mr. Krabs incapacitated, obtains the Krabby Patty secret formula and begins serving Krabby Patties at the Chum Bucket. He stole the formula by sneaking by Mr. Krabs while he was frozen, going into his office, entering the safe code, and stealing the formula. Plankton starts selling Krabby Patties at the Chum Bucket, along with free bucket helmets. He has also learned about SpongeBob and Patrick are trying to get the crown back and hires a professional mercenary named Dennis to ensure that SpongeBob and Patrick do not reach Shell City. The next day, Squidward sees that everyone is wearing helmet buckets. After a woman tells him that Plankton is giving them away free with the Krabby Patties, he goes to confront Plankton. Squidward figures out that Plankton was the one who stole King Neptune's crown to get the Krabby Patty formula. He decides to report him to King Neptune, but before he leaves the Chum Bucket, Plankton activates a mind-control device, revealing that the bucket helmets are actually mind controlling helmets. Squidward tries to escape, but the enslaved citizens corner and capture him, taking down the last opposition to Plankton in Bikini Bottom and transforms the city into 'Planktopolis.'

SpongeBob and Patrick are traveling through a field of skulls, laughing over their victory at the Thug Tug. They see an Ice Cream Stand, but when SpongeBob goes to order, the old woman running the stand is revealed as the tongue of a monstrous Frogfish using the Ice Cream Stand as bait. The Frogfish chases the scared fleeing duo, eventually driving off a cliff and getting out of the car just in time. The Frogfish is lured off the edge and subsequently is eaten by an even larger beast, which is a gigantic sea serpent that appears from the trench. Unable to pass through a monster-filled trench, SpongeBob decides to give up and accepts the fact that he and Patrick are just kids. However, Mindy arrives and shows them what has happened to Bikini Bottom while they were gone and gives them fake mustaches in the form of seaweed, convincing them that they are now men. SpongeBob and Patrick pass through the trench without fear (singing, 'Now That We're Men'), but meet up with Dennis on the other side. He rips off their fake mustaches and explains to them that they are not really men, and prepares to kill them by crushing them under his boot. However, before he can do so, a gigantic boot crushes Dennis, belonging to a monstrous scuba diver known as 'The Cyclops,' who abducts SpongeBob and Patrick to the surface.

SpongeBob and Patrick wake up in a goldfish bowl filled with freshwater and sedimentary pebbles. They see the Cyclops making 'knick-knacks' from 'dead' sea creatures, much to their horror, and are soon taken out of the bowl and put on a table under a heat lamp, and start to dry up. Soon, SpongeBob laments that they have failed and that Bikini Bottom will remain under Plankton's mind control, Mr. Krabs will be executed, and they too will die. Patrick points out a sign reading 'Shell City: Marine Gifts and Sundries.' SpongeBob realizes that they are in Shell City, which is, in fact, a gift shop. They see the crown, and SpongeBob then realizes that they did at least make it to Shell City, and did pretty well for 'a couple of goofballs.' They both shed a tear of joy and begin singing the Goofy Goober song, just as they shrivel up: their faces become smaller, Patrick's body shape gets round bevel edges, and SpongeBob's arms and legs roll up into his sleeves. As they sing the last verse of the song, their faces vanish from their bodies as they become the real-life equivalents of their species, indicating that they have both died. Back in the movie theater, all the pirates mourn the loss of SpongeBob and Patrick, but a talking parrot points out that the movie is not over yet and they continue watching it. The 'Tear of the Goofy Goobers' slides down a wire into the power outlet, causing it to short-circuit and let out smoke, which rises up and activates the fire suppression sprinkler system, causing all the sea creatures to reanimate and the table with the lamp to cool off. As the water drips from the system, SpongeBob and Patrick first get saturated colors and then they become cartoon again upon resurrection, which makes the whole audience in the theater cheer. As the sea creatures (which include a mariachi band playing a song from Mexico) beat up 'The Cyclops,' for killing them, SpongeBob and Patrick grab the crown and carry it out to the beach. There, SpongeBob reads the manual of the Bag of Winds, and Patrick accidentally releases it, leaving them stranded on the beach. However, David Hasselhoff arrives and carries them across the ocean on his back.

On the way back home as they cheered for David Hasselhoff saying nothing will stop them but during the middle of their swim, SpongeBob and Patrick see the big boot belonging to the same diver that kidnapped them and who squished Dennis, rises up sea, and an angry Dennis emerges from below it, intent on finishing the job Plankton gave him and goes after Patrick and SpongeBob with his dagger in hand (much to Hasselhoff's discomfort). He corners SpongeBob, who attempts to reason with Dennis (by bribing him with five Goober dollars); Dennis is uninterested, so SpongeBob proceeded to more offers - including a bubble-blower that sends a stream of bubbles to Dennis's eyes, blinding him and making him even angrier. However, just as he is about to stomp on them with his boot, he ends up being knocked into the ocean by a floating sailboat. As the duo arrives over Bikini Bottom, King Neptune is about to execute Mr. Krabs but is being 'stalled' by Mindy, but Neptune just thinks so. Hasselhoff opens his pectoral muscles, prepares countdown, and shoots the duo down into Bikini Bottom at fast speed, where they crash through the roof of the Krusty Krab 2, the crown deflecting the trident blast that nearly kills Mr. Krabs, and ends up burning Hasselhoff. Unfortunately, that does not stop Plankton, as he dumps a King-sized Chum Bucket Helmet on Neptune, also putting him under his control.

As Plankton's minions surround the heroes, SpongeBob realized that Plankton did not care whether Krabs should be fried or not he just wanted the power of the seas under his control, having used the theft of the crown to lure Neptune into the trap, thus SpongeBob thinks that Plankton cheated. He states to SpongeBob that he, actually, is an evil genius and SpongeBob is just a stupid kid. When he discovers that Plankton is right, SpongeBob makes a speech about being who you are and how he did things others doubted him on in his journey before transforming into a wizard and breaking out into a bizarre rock version of the Goofy Goober theme song (based on the Twisted Sister's I Wanna Rock). Seeing his moves, Plankton yells for his minions to seize SpongeBob but the latter uses his electric guitar's laser beams to destroy all the brain-control buckets with. Patrick wears fishnets and high heels and helps SpongeBob by dancing along. Plankton yells at Karen to do something, she is too lured by the rock and roll to listen.

Irritated, Plankton tries to command Neptune to stop SpongeBob but SpongeBob quickly destroys his helmet before he can finish speaking. Out of options, Plankton tries to escape but is trampled before he can do so. Then trampled into a shape similar to cookie dough, he gets arrested for the crimes of brainwashing the Bikini Bottom citizens, scapegoating Mr. Krabs, and also for stealing Neptune's crown, and the cops put him in a little cage and take him away as he yells of vengeance. Neptune reaches an understanding not only with Mr. Krabs, but also with his daughter, and thanks SpongeBob and Patrick. He then turns to leave, but Mindy reminds him about Mr. Krabs. He unfreezes Mr. Krabs, turning him into a fat little boy. Neptune then reveals that he had his trident set to 'Real Boy Ending.' He then turns Mr. Krabs into a crab again and apologizes to him for falsely accusing him, and Mr. Krabs also apologizes to SpongeBob for doubting him. Squidward suggests to SpongeBob that he has learned that he does not really need to be the manager of the Krusty Krab 2, but SpongeBob eagerly takes the position anyway. Images shown throughout the end credits shown the sole two differences between the job of manager and fry-cook is that there is a giant hat with the word manager imprinted on it and an extra cent in his paycheck. Nonetheless, SpongeBob takes on the role of manager of the Krusty Krab 2 with great pride, as the film signifies the conclusion of the franchise's story.

In a post-credits scene, the usher tells the pirates to leave the theater so she can clean up the mess they left.

Trivia

General

• In the Ice Cream Dreams storybook, Mr. Krabs, unlike in the movie, does not correct himself after saying 'don't you understand-ager?' to SpongeBob.
• There are more bubbles in the film than a regular SpongeBob episode. For instance, whenever the characters move or pull something, bubbles appear.
• After the movie was made, Nickelodeon released a special issue of Nickelodeon Magazine about this film. It included interviews with the cast, an article about SpongeBob's origin, Patrick recounting his journey to Shell City, and a comic about Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy trying to stop Plankton during the events of the movie.
• There are 2 online games based on this movie called Bubble Bustin' Game and The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie 3D Game.
  • There are 5 books based on this film named The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie Cine-Manga book, Are We There Yet?, The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie (book), Ice Cream Dreams, and Bubble Blowers, Beware!.
    • There is also a video game based on this film.
• Some footage from the opening scene appears in the second movie's trailer.
  • Music from the 2002Disney film Treasure Planet and the 2001 Universal movie The Mummy Returns was used in one of the trailers.
• SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, Mr. Krabs, Plankton, and Karen are the only characters from the series who play large roles in this movie. Sandy, Mrs. Puff, Pearl, and Gary all have lines as well but do not play a large part.
• Several other characters from the series make non-speaking cameo appearances:
  • Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy appear on a poster in SpongeBob's bedroom.
  • Several jellyfish appear as part of SpongeBob's bedroom mobile, and one appears on a poster.
  • Larry the Lobster gets a small, non-speaking cameo in the Chum Bucket as one of the customers whose bucket helmet becomes a mind control device. He is never seen afterward.
  • Many of the Bikini Bottomites, such as Fred and Tom, appear in crowd shots. However, most background characters' color palettes were altered significantly for the film.
• In the book Ice Cream Dreams, it says the grand opening for the Krusty Krab 2 is March 3. However, in this movie, the grand opening is March 7.
  • Additionally, the book Bubble Blowers, Beware! changes the rule of the Thug Tug into being laughed at if they blow bubbles rather than being beaten.
• While seasons 1, 2, and 3 were highly praised, the film only received slightly positive reception for critics, although the audience loved it.^{[citation needed]}
• The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie novel (that was marketed during the film's marketing campaign) had contents altered from movie, as well as rewording the dialogues that were considered insensitive to young readers.
• The teaser trailer for the movie was aired during the 2004 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards.
• In the final fight, SpongeBob isn't seen destroying the control aerial on the Chum Bucket controlling the citizens and is only seen destroying the bucket helmets. However, when Plankton goes to jail and everyone is celebrating (even King Neptune), it would have been possible that the control aerial had been destroyed by SpongeBob's guitar.
• In this movie, SpongeBob's voice is changed to a higher pitch for unknown reasons, but it might be how older Tom Kenny is getting or the creators wanted his voice to be higher.
  • This change even carried on to later episodes, up to season 8.
• Show creator Stephen Hillenburg confirmed that this movie takes place after the TV series. This actually makes sense, because in all of the episodes after the movie (including the second film), SpongeBob isn't the manager, Plankton is still at the Chum Bucket and trying to get the formula, and there is only one Krusty Krab, not two.
  • This would explain the 374 consecutive Employee of the Month awards SpongeBob displays to Gary at the start of the movie.
    • However, it is quite common for events to considerably change the normal state of affairs during the course of an episode, only for everything to be returned to normal by the start of the next episode, without explanation.
• Patrick's quote 'Have you seen my underwear?' is later reused in the online games Dutchman's Dash & Dirty Bubble Busters.
• The song 'The Best Day Ever' heard during the end credits and in the movie's soundtrack would later be used in the episode 'Best Day Ever,' but shortened.
• The scene where SpongeBob and Patrick, after escaping from Shell City, encounter Sandy on the surface, who here has the appearance of a real-life squirrel, was planned for the film but was cut for time. The animatic for the scene is included as a deleted scene on the DVD. The scene was removed due to the fact that Patrick barfs a lot in it.
• The scene where SpongeBob and Patrick have their mouths wide open became popular on YouTube and a popular internet meme.
• The surprised Patrick face returns in 'Scavenger Pants.'
• The scene where SpongeBob says 'Whoo!' has become a very popular internet meme.
• In other countries such as the Philippines, this movie is rated G. This is because their rating systems regard toilet humor to be suitable for all.^{[citation needed]}
• The series features a totally different King Neptune. Although in 'Krusty Towers,' Squidward mentions King Neptune XIV, possibly meaning that there are multiple King Neptune's which could explain this inconsistency.
• In a deleted scene, during SpongeBob's awakening in Goofy Goober's Ice Cream Party Boat, he asks for a 'double fudge spiny.' This rejected line was used in a storybook based on this movie released during the time called Ice Cream Dreams.
• The movie was dedicated in memory of Jule Engel (1909–2003). In September 2003, during production, Engel, Hillenburg's mentor when he studied experimental animation at the California Institute of the Arts, died. Hillenburg dedicated the film to him: 'He truly was the most influential artistic person in my life. I consider him my 'Art Dad'.'
• The teaser trailer uses footage from submarine films: Das Boot (1981), The Hunt for Red October (1990), and U-571 (2000).
• Elmer's Glue, a real-life glue item, makes a product placement in this movie when the Cyclops is making a shell and when a lobster shoots it at him at the Shell City Gift Shop.
• This is the second time Mrs. Puff and Sandy interact (even though this isn't an episode). The first was 'Party Pooper Pants.'
• This is the only time that Plankton actually succeeds in stealing the formula.
• Perch Perkins is seen in purple instead of blond.
• SpongeBob says that Patrick was wearing the same 'Goofy Goober' underwear for 3 years straight but at the start of the movie when Patrick is seen he isn't wearing underwear.
• This is the fourth time SpongeBob loses his arm(s). The first time was 'I was a Teenage Gary,' the second time was 'Big Pink Loser,' the third time was 'Graveyard Shift,' the fifth time is 'Sing a Song of Patrick,' and the sixth time is 'SpongeHenge.'
• This movie is a movie inside a movie because the Pirates are watching the SpongeBob movie in an actual theater.
• Plankton getting flattened by the crowd is similar to how Squidward gets trampled by the same crowd in 'Squid on Strike.' Both scenes involve Sandals stepping on them first, them looking completely flat and filled with footprints, and the crowd running towards the Krusty Krab.
• The Paramount Pictures (closing) logo appeared after the post-credit scene fades to blank. In the original theatrical release of this movie, the MPAA PG screen is shown after the logo fades to blank.
• The Goofy Goober underwear that Patrick wears appears again in 'Born to Be Wild.'
• This movie reveals that by an unspecified period of time, SpongeBob learns how to drive a stick-shift vehicle.
• During the first half of the closing credits to this movie, SpongeBob's Krusty Krab employee hat appears to be bigger than normal, and it vertically reads 'MANAGER.'
• In the movie, Plankton is more evil and depraved than he was in the series. While in the series, he was comical, and in episodes after this movie, became less evil (while Mr. Krabs has gotten more greedy and evil), but in the movie, he stole King Neptune's crown, frames Mr. Krabs for it, enslaves Bikini Bottom, shows excitement and joy when Mr. Krabs is going to be executed, and hires Dennis to kill SpongeBob and Patrick rather than merely get rid of them.
• A sequel to this movie was announced on February 28, 2012, and was released on February 6, 2015.
• SpongeBob tells Squidward that his fly is down even though he doesn't wear pants.
• When Patrick and King Neptune argue about how many days they should get for their journey, it is similar to how he and the Flying Dutchman argue about how many wishes SpongeBob and he should get in 'Shanghaied.'
  • Patrick also argued to King Neptune before in 'Neptune's Spatula' on how many challenges SpongeBob will have.
• This film is mentioned in the 2012 movie, Piranha 3DD by David Hasselhoff, who guest starred in this film.
• A clip of SpongeBob in the grand opening ceremony from the movie was featured in the 2017 film, Daddy's Home 2.
• This isn't in high definition/widescreen when it was shown on Nickelodeon despite it being HD on other channels. However, when Nickelodeon HD was launched, it reran in HD.
• The movie foreshadows Goofy Goobers when a toy of the Goofy Goober Peanut is seen in SpongeBob's toy chest near the beginning.
• This movie has a unique animation style in that the characters have distorted-looking looks and bodies and color scheme (for the fish). It will be used again the second film (in Bikini Bottom).
• This movie is one of the few times where Gary speaks. He says 'Meow, Plankton.'
• The pufferfish in Shell City may be a reference to the episode 'Krusty Love,' in which Mrs. Puff's husband's horrible fate was being turned into a pufferfish lamp.
• Plankton says that Plan Z is 'evil, diabolical, and lemon-scented.' This could possibly be a reference to Every Villain is Lemons from The Adventures of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy.
• When The Adventures of Tintin aired on Nickelodeon on October 14, 2014, it shows the first seconds of the Paramount logo from that movie, before cutting to the normal movie, instead of Tintin.

• This film was originally intended to be the series finale, but since Nickelodeon wanted more episodes, the show continued.
• This film was released in between the episodes 'Pranks a Lot' and 'Fear of a Krabby Patty.'
• This is the first SBSP production to be presented in widescreen.
• In the Russian version, Plankton's line 'Karen?', when he sees Karen in a crowd of people wasn't dubbed (Plankton just moves his mouth without saying any word).
• 'Rock!', 'No!', and 'Thanks!' also wasn't dubbed in Russian dub.
  • In the Latin Spanish dub, they had the same Spanish dubbing actors from the other characters.
• This movie was the first non-Rugrats movie to have a sequel from Nickelodeon Movies.
• Originally, the ending to the film featured 'Mourning Glory' by Ween playing over the credits. When it tested poorly, it was ultimately swapped out for the more popular 'Ocean Man'.
• This is the first time that a bad word was clearly said, yet not clearly heard, as when King Neptune held up the paper before showing it to Mr. Krabs, who was presumed to have stolen the royal crown, he said “you left one damning piece of evidence at the scene of the scene of the crime.” This also happened in Sailor Mouth, SpongeBob's Big Birthday Blowout, and The Abrasive Side, but the first two were bleeped out, and The Abrasive Side was when Mr. Krabs called SpongeBob a 'pottymouth' when his abrasive side said ”overtime.”

Cultural references

• The movie contains references to the epic Greek poem 'The Odyssey' by Homer, specifically the Bag Of Winds and 'The Cyclops' (undersea diver).
• The song 'Goofy Goober Rock' is a parody of the song 'I Wanna Rock' by Twisted Sister.
• Goober Meal is a parody of McDonald'sHappy Meal.
• When SpongeBob and Patrick are in the Nut Bar a picture of Popeye, a panel from his comic strip series, and a panel from the comic strip Krazy Kat can be seen framed on the wall behind them.
• When Cyclops is making a knick-knack out of a clam, he names it 'Alexander Clam Bell' which is a parody of Alexander Graham Bell with a telephone replica attached. Alexander Graham Bell was the inventor of the telephone.
• The Cyclops is somewhat similar to Sid Phillips from Disney/Pixar's Toy Story.
• After SpongeBob hops from David's right leg to his left Dennis says: 'You got guts kid!' This could a reference to an old Nickelodeon game show called: 'Nickelodeon Guts,' in which three competitors would go through a series of obstacle courses, and in the end, the host would say, 'These kids got guts!'^{[citation needed]}
• When SpongeBob and Patrick burp after eating the ice cream, it sounds exactly like the burp of Barney Gumble from FOX's animated TV series The Simpsons.
• In one scene, SpongeBob mistakenly believes he is hired as the new manager of the Krusty Krab 2, while in reality, it was Squidward who was hired as manager. This might be a reference to a scene from the beginning of the 2001 Paramount Picture movie Zoolander, where the main character Derek is under the belief he will win an award, although another character named Hansel receives the reward instead.
• King Neptune, who made his first appearance in 'Neptune's Spatula,' and his daughter, Mindy, who made her debut appearance in this movie, might be a spoof of King Triton and Ariel from The Little Mermaid.
• The Patty Wagon is a reference to the Burger car from another Paramount and Nickelodeon Movie Good Burger.
• King Neptune trident being accidentally set to 'Real Boy Ending' is a reference to Disney's Pinocchio.
• The Ice Cream Lady's cat 'Mr. Whiskers' has the same name as the rabbit 'Mr. Whiskers' from Disney Channel's cartoon series Brandy and Mr. Whiskers.
• In one scene, there are 2 fishes headbanging to Goofy Goober Rock. They are a reference to the characters from the 1993 MTV series Beavis and Butt-head because the 2 fishes have the same color scheme as them and the same hair color as them.
  • Beavis and Butt-head also headbang; these 2 fishes do the exact same headbanging as how Beavis and Butt-head do.

Errors

• Mr. Krabs says near the end of the movie 'I'm going to do something that I should have done 6 days ago.' He means 7 because it was the day after when SpongeBob got the 6-day challenge to get the crown.
• SpongeBob had his shoes on while he put his pants on, but in the scene before that, he was only wearing his socks.
• The size of the crown changes through most of the movie. When Plankton is carrying it, he is as big as the tip. When SpongeBob attempts to lift it, it looks gigantic compared to him.
• When there's a close-up of the Patty Mobile's pickle-like wheels, they are bumpy. However, in the next scene, they are regular wheels instead.
• When SpongeBob smears Plankton on the ground, Plankton's smear appears, but after SpongeBob picks up Plankton, the green smear disappears.
• When Mindy talks to King Neptune, she has her golden band, however, the next scene her golden band disappears.
• During the scene where SpongeBob and Patrick are eating lots of the Triple Gooberberry Sunrises, there are the glass bowls the ice cream came in lying around the bench, but no spoons. The spoons have miraculously disappeared.
• While King Neptune was screaming, the rest of his hair turns into 3 strings of hair.
• When Mr. Krabs is frozen, his position in the restaurant changes through most of the movie.
• Even from the distance Mindy was, she should have seen Patrick's underwear.
• After Patrick tells SpongeBob to be careful while he is fighting Dennis while on Hasselhoff, Dennis's color scheme goes paler for one scene but changes back after SpongeBob looks down.
• When Plankton was looking through his binoculars, there were two eyes, with two pupils. This would not be possible, as Plankton has only one eye.
• When SpongeBob and Patrick were eating their Triple Gooberberry Sunrises, pink strawberry (presumably) ice cream was splattered on the waiter, however, there was no pink ice cream visible on the sundae.
  • There was also a few strawberries that got on the waiter, but there was again no strawberries visible on the ice cream.
• When Mr. Krabs is being interviewed his pants are purple and don't change to blue until the end of the movie.
• When King Neptune is fed up with being stalled from the execution, he tells Mindy to go wait outside, then places a lock on the door. After SpongeBob and Patrick arrive, the lock disappears.
• When King Neptune first enters the Krusty Krab, the clock above the doors is absent.
• The film takes place after every episode of the series. However, Plankton states that he never had one customer. In later episodes he actually has customers. It's possible that Plankton may have forgotten about it.
• After the end credits where the pirates are still in the movie theater and the usher coming in to tell them it's time to go, there's less popcorn on the floor, but as the pirates are leaving and her continuing her sweeping job, there's massively more popcorn all over the floor.

Running gags

• Patrick asking if they are dead yet.
• SpongeBob being called a 'kid.'
• Plankton looking at his arms when someone says his arms are stubby.
